Actively controlling the topological transition of dispersion based on electrically controllable metamaterials
Topological transition of the iso-frequency contour (IFC) from a closed
ellipsoid to an open hyperboloid, will provide unique capabilities for
controlling the propagation of light. However, the ability to actively tune
these effects remains elusive and the related experimental observations are
highly desirable. Here, tunable electric IFC in periodic structure which is
composed of graphene/dielectric multilayers is investigated by tuning the
chemical potential of graphene layer. Specially, we present the actively
controlled transportation in two kinds of anisotropic zero-index media
containing PEC/PMC impurities. At last, by adding variable capacitance diodes
into two-dimensional transmission-line system, we present the experimental
demonstration of the actively controlled magnetic topological transition of
dispersion based on electrically controllable metamaterials. With the increase
of voltage, we measure the different emission patterns from a point source
inside the structure and observe the phase-transition process of IFCs. The
realization of actively tuned topological transition will opens up a new avenue
in the dynamical control of metamaterials.Comment: 21 pages,8 figure
DomainRBF: a Bayesian regression approach to the prioritization of candidate domains for complex diseases
BACKGROUND: Domains are basic units of proteins, and thus exploring associations between protein domains and human inherited diseases will greatly improve our understanding of the pathogenesis of human complex diseases and further benefit the medical prevention, diagnosis and treatment of these diseases. Within a given domain-domain interaction network, we make the assumption that similarities of disease phenotypes can be explained using proximities of domains associated with such diseases. Based on this assumption, we propose a Bayesian regression approach named domainRBF (domain Rank with Bayes Factor) to prioritize candidate domains for human complex diseases.
RESULTS: Using a compiled dataset containing 1,614 associations between 671 domains and 1,145 disease phenotypes, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach through three large-scale leave-one-out cross-validation experiments (random control, simulated linkage interval, and genome-wide scan), and we do so in terms of three criteria (precision, mean rank ratio, and AUC score). We further show that the proposed approach is robust to the parameters involved and the underlying domain-domain interaction network through a series of permutation tests. Once having assessed the validity of this approach, we show the possibility of ab initio inference of domain-disease associations and gene-disease associations, and we illustrate the strong agreement between our inferences and the evidences from genome-wide association studies for four common diseases (type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, Crohn\u27s disease, and breast cancer). Finally, we provide a pre-calculated genome-wide landscape of associations between 5,490 protein domains and 5,080 human diseases and offer free access to this resource.
CONCLUSIONS: The proposed approach effectively ranks susceptible domains among the top of the candidates, and it is robust to the parameters involved. The ab initio inference of domain-disease associations shows strong agreement with the evidence provided by genome-wide association studies. The predicted landscape provides a comprehensive understanding of associations between domains and human diseases

Fuzzy Knowledge Distillation from High-Order TSK to Low-Order TSK
High-order Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy classifiers possess powerful
classification performance yet have fewer fuzzy rules, but always be impaired
by its exponential growth training time and poorer interpretability owing to
High-order polynomial used in consequent part of fuzzy rule, while Low-order
TSK fuzzy classifiers run quickly with high interpretability, however they
usually require more fuzzy rules and perform relatively not very well. Address
this issue, a novel TSK fuzzy classifier embeded with knowledge distillation in
deep learning called HTSK-LLM-DKD is proposed in this study. HTSK-LLM-DKD
achieves the following distinctive characteristics: 1) It takes High-order TSK
classifier as teacher model and Low-order TSK fuzzy classifier as student
model, and leverages the proposed LLM-DKD (Least Learning Machine based
Decoupling Knowledge Distillation) to distill the fuzzy dark knowledge from
High-order TSK fuzzy classifier to Low-order TSK fuzzy classifier, which
resulting in Low-order TSK fuzzy classifier endowed with enhanced performance
surpassing or at least comparable to High-order TSK classifier, as well as high
interpretability; specifically 2) The Negative Euclidean distance between the
output of teacher model and each class is employed to obtain the teacher
logits, and then it compute teacher/student soft labels by the softmax function
with distillating temperature parameter; 3) By reformulating the
Kullback-Leibler divergence, it decouples fuzzy dark knowledge into target
class knowledge and non-target class knowledge, and transfers them to student
model. The advantages of HTSK-LLM-DKD are verified on the benchmarking UCI
datasets and a real dataset Cleveland heart disease, in terms of classification
performance and model interpretability
