Accurate agreement estimation in crowdsourced relevance assessments via statistical models based on the beta distribution

open access: yesStatistica Neerlandica, Volume 80, Issue 4, November 2026.
Abstract Data crowdsourcing is often used to collect relevance assessments in information retrieval tasks. However, estimating the agreement among crowdworkers is nontrivial, since data is sparse and often collected on a variety of rating scales.

Bioinspired Adaptive Surfaces for Intelligent Liquid Manipulation: Progressing From Passive and Active to Hybrid Strategies

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 56, 8 October 2026.
This review examines passive, active, and hybrid liquid manipulation strategies, highlighting hybrid approaches as an emerging route to reconcile energy efficiency with adaptive control. By actively reconstructing passive surfaces to store programmable interfacial energy, hybrid systems enable flexible yet low‐power liquid transport, with perspectives ...

A Monge–Ellipse Descriptor for Interpretable Quantification of Pore Architecture in Rock Images

open access: yesAdvanced Theory and Simulations, Volume 9, Issue 10, October 2026.
A Monge‐inspired geometric descriptor quantifies how neighboring pores are organized in segmented rock images. Each pore is represented by a second‐moment ellipse, and local pore triplets are evaluated through external homothetic centers. Applied to carbonate thin sections, the descriptor separates pore architectures that porosity alone cannot ...

Interpretability and Representability of Commutative Algebra, Algebraic Topology, and Topological Spectral Theory for Real‐World Data

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, Volume 2, Issue 5, October 2026.
This article investigates how persistent homology, persistent Laplacians, and persistent commutative algebra reveal complementary geometric, topological, and algebraic invariants or signatures of real‐world data. By analyzing shapes, synthetic complexes, fullerenes, and biomolecules, the article shows how these mathematical frameworks enhance ...

Estimation of Underlying Normal Distribution Parameters From Dichotomized Data

open access: yesBiometrical Journal, Volume 68, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurately estimating the parameters of a continuous distribution from dichotomized or aggregated data is a common problem in biomedical and environmental research. Many studies report only the proportion of subjects exceeding a threshold, without releasing individual‐level measurements.
