Correlations of Cross-Entropy Loss in Machine Learning

open access: yesEntropy
Cross-entropy loss is crucial in training many deep neural networks. In this context, we show a number of novel and strong correlations among various related divergence functions.

Pollinator Visitation Alters Cranberry Flower Fungal Communities in Wisconsin Cranberry Agroecosystems

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
A two‐year study reveals shared fungal communities between cranberry flowers and insect visitors, including Apis mellifera, Bombus species, solitary bees and hover flies. Greater fungal richness was present in pollinator‐accessible flowers compared to those that were tented.

A Note on the Relationship of the Shannon Entropy Procedure and the Jensen–Shannon Divergence in Cognitive Diagnostic Computerized Adaptive Testing

open access: yesSAGE Open, 2020
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the Shannon entropy procedure and the Jensen–Shannon divergence (JSD) that are used as item selection criteria in cognitive diagnostic computerized adaptive testing (CD-CAT).

Spatial Patterns and Overlap of Sedimentary and Rhizosphere Microbiomes of the Seagrass Zostera capensis

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Sedimentary microbiomes and, for the first time, rhizosphere microbiomes of Zostera capensis, South Africa's most abundant seagrass, were characterised using 16S rRNA metabarcoding across three estuaries. After accounting for seawater‐derived microbes, we found that sediment and rhizosphere communities largely overlapped but also harbor distinct core ...

A Class of New Metrics for n-Dimensional Unit Hypercube

open access: yesJournal of Applied Mathematics, 2013
We study the metric on the n-dimensional unit hypercube. We introduce a class of new metrics for the space, which is information theoretically motivated and has close relation to Jensen-Shannon divergence.

A Novel Sequence-Based Feature for the Identification of DNA-Binding Sites in Proteins Using Jensen–Shannon Divergence

open access: yesEntropy, 2016
The knowledge of protein-DNA interactions is essential to fully understand the molecular activities of life. Many research groups have developed various tools which are either structure- or sequence-based approaches to predict the DNA-binding residues in

Seasonal and Diurnal Patterns of Harbor Porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) Behavior and the Disruptive Effects of Vessel Presence in a High‐Traffic Coastal Habitat

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Chronic anthropogenic activity is an ongoing threat to the marine environment and presents unique challenges in shallow, coastal habitats where harbor porpoises reside. Harbor porpoises have high metabolic needs and are highly susceptible to negative environmental factors; however, no long‐term studies have been conducted on wild populations ...

Revisiting the Characterization of Resting Brain Dynamics with the Permutation Jensen–Shannon Distance

open access: yesEntropy
Taking into account the complexity of the human brain dynamics, the appropriate characterization of any brain state is a challenge not easily met. Actually, even the discrimination of simple behavioral tasks, such as resting with eyes closed or eyes open,

A new method to measure the divergence in evidential sensor data fusion

open access: yesInternational Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2019
Evidence theory is widely used in real applications such as target recognition because of its efficiency in evidential sensor data fusing. However, counter-intuitive results may be obtained in the situation when evidence highly conflicts with each other.
