Cosmic shear covariance: The log-normal approximation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
[Abridged] We seek approximations to the cosmic shear covariance that are as easy to use as the common approximations based on normal statistics, but yield more accurate covariance matrices and parameter errors. We derive expressions for the cosmic shear covariance under the assumption that the underlying convergence field follows log-normal statistics.

Extended Batch Normalization [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Batch normalization (BN) has become a standard technique for training the modern deep networks. However, its effectiveness diminishes when the batch size becomes smaller, since the batch statistics estimation becomes inaccurate. That hinders batch normalization's usage for 1) training larger model which requires small batches constrained by memory ...

Foucault for Heisman: College Football and the Liturgies of Power

open access: yesReligions, 2020
This essay attempts to give a new sort of answer to the question of whether or not sport and sports fandom are a religion through the work of Foucault on “power.” Looking specifically at college football in North America, I examine the ways ...

AFN: Adaptive Fusion Normalization via an Encoder-Decoder Framework [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
The success of deep learning is inseparable from normalization layers. Researchers have proposed various normalization functions, and each of them has both advantages and disadvantages. In response, efforts have been made to design a unified normalization function that combines all normalization procedures and mitigates their weaknesses.

Siglec-15 as an immune suppressor and potential target for normalization cancer immunotherapy

open access: yesNature Network Boston, 2019
Overexpression of the B7-H1 (PD-L1) molecule in the tumor microenvironment (TME) is a major immune evasion mechanism in some patients with cancer, and antibody blockade of the B7-H1/PD-1 interaction can normalize compromised immunity without excessive ...

Ordered quantile normalization: a semiparametric transformation built for the cross-validation era

open access: yesJournal of Applied Statistics, 2019
Normalization transformations have recently experienced a resurgence in popularity in the era of machine learning, particularly in data preprocessing. However, the classical methods that can be adapted to cross-validation are not always effective.

Identification of reliable reference genes for expression studies in the magnum of laying hens housed in cage and cage‐free systems

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, 2021
Stress factors during poultry production can evoke changes in gene transcription and protein synthesis in the hen oviduct and could affect the internal and external egg quality.

Learning Graph Normalization for Graph Neural Networks [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have attracted considerable attention and have emerged as a new promising paradigm to process graph-structured data. GNNs are usually stacked to multiple layers and the node representations in each layer are computed through propagating and aggregating the neighboring node features with respect to the graph.

Normalization: A Preprocessing Stage [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
As we know that the normalization is a pre-processing stage of any type problem statement. Especially normalization takes important role in the field of soft computing, cloud computing etc. for manipulation of data like scale down or scale up the range of data before it becomes used for further stage.

O paradigma e a vivência: a busca da identidade

open access: yesFilologia e Linguística Portuguesa, 1997
By outlying grammar along the classical lines transmitted by the medieval Latin tradition, Portuguese grammarians, as well as Castillian, French and Italian peers, are simultaneously building a new paradigm: the Romance consciousness. This consciousness,
