While the power of modern microscopy techniques is undeniable, rigorous record-keeping and quality control are required to ensure that imaging data may be properly interpreted (quality), reproduced (reproducibility), and used to extract reliable
Finite element meshes constructed from 3D images are useful in materials science and medical applications when it is necessary to model the actual geometry of a sample, rather than an idealized approximation of it. Constructing the mesh involves computing

Present artificial intelligence algorithms require extensive computations to emulate the behavior of large neural networks, operating current computers near their limits, which leads to high energy costs. A possible solution to this problem is the

Microscopy image-based measurement variability in high-throughput imaging experiments for biological drug discoveries, such as COVID-19 therapies was addressed in this study. Variability of measurements came from (1) computational approaches (methods), (2)
We present a new collection of processing techniques, collectively "factorized Kramers-Kroenig and error correction" (fKK-EC), for (a) Raman signal extraction, (b) denoising, and (c) phase- and scale- error correction in coherent anti-Stokes Raman
Race logic, an arrival-time-coded logic family, has demonstrated energy and performance improvements for a subset of applications ranging from dynamic programming to machine learning. In the absence of memory, or a mathematical framework for abstraction
This paper addresses the problem of detecting trojans in neural networks (NNs) by analyzing how NN accuracy responds to systematic pruning. This study leverages the NN models generated for the TrojAI challenges. Our pruning-based approach (1) detects any
To design and construct hardware for general intelligence, we must consider principles of both neuroscience and very-large-scale integration. For large neural systems capable of general intelligence, the attributes of photonics for communication and

The push for open data has made a multitude of datasets available enabling researchers to analyze publicly available information using various statistical and machine learning methods in support of policy development. An area of increasing interest that is

This paper addresses the problem of designing trojan detectors in neural networks (NNs) using interactive simulations. Trojans in NNs are defined as triggers in inputs that cause misclassification of such inputs into a class (or classes) unintended by the
When two spatially separated parties make measurements on an unknown entangled quantum state, what correlations can they achieve? How difficult is it to determine whether a given correlation is a quantum correlation? These questions are central to problems
We present scalable first hitting time methods for finding a collection of nodes that enables the fastest time for the spread of consensus in a network. That is, given a graph G = (V,E) and a natural number k, these methods find k vertices in G that

This chapter addresses object measurements from 2D microscopy images. Object measurements (called image features) vary in terms of theoretical formulas for the same image feature, the physical units used to represent pixel-based measurements, the

We have previously reported on the measurement of exact NOEs (eNOEs), which yield a wealth of additional information in comparison to conventional NOEs. We have used these eNOEs in a variety of applications, including calculating high-resolution structures

Using a unique data collection, we are able to study the detection of dense geometric objects in image data where object density, clarity, and size vary. The data is a large set of black and white images of scatterplots, taken from journals reporting
Consider a quantum circuit that, when fed a constant input, produces a fixed-length random bit- string in each execution. Executing it many times yields a sample of many bit-strings that contain fresh randomness inherent to the quantum evaluation. When the

This paper addresses the problem of creating a large quantity of high-quality training image segmentation masks from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of concrete samples that exhibit progressive amounts of degradation resulting from alkali-silica
This report summarizes recent technical work of the Applied and Computational Sciences Division of the Information Technology Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Part I (Overview) provides a high-level overview of the
The recognition that large classes of quantum many-body systems have limited - or efficiently representable - entanglement in the ground and low-lying excited states led to dramatic advances in their numerical simulation via so-called tensor networks [1-6]
