Antarctica has a 'gravity hole'

Popular Science

Environment Climate Change Antarctica has a'gravity hole' The geological oddity has existed since dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. A "gravity hole" beneath Antarctica sounds like the plot to a bad sci-fi movie, but it's a very real situation deep beneath the Earth's surface stretching back tens of millions of years. The phenomenon thankfully isn't as apocalyptic as it sounds, either. In fact, researchers say these complex interactions between rock densities, gravitational pull, and sea levels are actually helping them understand how the southernmost continent's ice sheets evolved, and what their influences mean for the planet's climate.



Adaptive Proximal Gradient Method for Convex Optimization

Neural Information Processing Systems

In this paper, we explore two fundamental first-order algorithms in convex optimization, namely, gradient descent (GD) and proximal gradient method (ProxGD). Our focus is on making these algorithms entirely adaptive by leveraging local curvature information of smooth functions.




Geometry of naturalistic object representations in recurrent neural network models of working memory

Neural Information Processing Systems

Working memory is a central cognitive ability crucial for intelligent decision-making. Recent experimental and computational work studying working memory has primarily used categorical (i.e., one-hot) inputs, rather than ecologically-relevant, multidimensional naturalistic ones.
