This set is obtained from the Dyson equation of the Hermitization of X as the self-consistent approximation of the pseudospectrum. We demonstrate that the analysis of the matrix Dyson equation from (Probab.

However, the majority remain relatively uncharacterised and of uncertain function making the use of model systems to uncover their mode of action valuable. Imprinted lncRNAs target and recruit epigenetic silencing factors to a cluster of imprinted genes on the same chromosome, making them one of the best characterized lncRNAs for silencing distant genes in cis. In this study we examined silencing of the distant imprinted gene Slc22a3 by the lncRNA Airn in the Igf2r imprinted cluster in mouse. Previously we proposed that imprinted lncRNAs may silence distant imprinted genes by disrupting promoter-enhancer interactions by being transcribed through the enhancer, which we called the enhancer interference hypothesis. Here we tested this hypothesis by first using allele-specific chromosome conformation capture (3C) to detect interactions between the Slc22a3 promoter and the locus of the Airn lncRNA that silences it on the paternal chromosome. In agreement with the model, we found interactions enriched on the maternal allele across the entire Airn gene consistent with multiple enhancer-promoter interactions. Therefore, to test the enhancer interference hypothesis we devised an approach to delete the entire Airn gene. However, the deletion showed that there are no essential enhancers for Slc22a2, Pde10a and Slc22a3 within the Airn gene, strongly indicating that the Airn RNA rather than its transcription is responsible for silencing distant imprinted genes. Furthermore, we found that silent imprinted genes were covered with large blocks of H3K27me3 on the repressed paternal allele. Therefore we propose an alternative hypothesis whereby the chromosome interactions may initially guide the lncRNA to target imprinted promoters and recruit repressive chromatin, and that these interactions are lost once silencing is established. article_number: e1008268 article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Daniel full_name: Andergassen, Daniel last_name: Andergassen - first_name: Markus full_name: Muckenhuber, Markus last_name: Muckenhuber - first_name: Philipp C. full_name: Bammer, Philipp C. last_name: Bammer - first_name: Tomasz M. full_name: Kulinski, Tomasz M. last_name: Kulinski - first_name: Hans-Christian full_name: Theussl, Hans-Christian last_name: Theussl - first_name: Takahiko full_name: Shimizu, Takahiko last_name: Shimizu - first_name: Josef M. full_name: Penninger, Josef M. last_name: Penninger - first_name: Florian full_name: Pauler, Florian id: 48EA0138-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Pauler orcid: 0000-0002-7462-0048 - first_name: Quanah J. full_name: Hudson, Quanah J. last_name: Hudson citation: ama: Andergassen D, Muckenhuber M, Bammer PC, et al.

Here we propose that the complex micro-architecture characterizing the sleep-wake cycle results from an underlying non-equilibrium critical dynamics, bridging collective behaviors across spatio-temporal scales. We investigate θ and δ wave dynamics in control rats and in rats with lesions of sleep-promoting neurons in the parafacial zone. We demonstrate that intermittent bursts in θ and δ rhythms exhibit a complex temporal organization, with long-range power-law correlations and a robust duality of power law (θ-bursts, active phase) and exponential-like (δ-bursts, quiescent phase) duration distributions, typical features of non-equilibrium systems self-organizing at criticality. Crucially, such temporal organization relates to anti-correlated coupling between θ- and δ-bursts, and is independent of the dominant physiologic state and lesions, a solid indication of a basic principle in sleep dynamics. article_number: e1007268 article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Jilin W.

It has even been observed that classifiers learn much faster and more reliably if trained with the outputs of another classifier as soft labels, instead of from ground truth data. So far, however, there is no satisfactory theoretical explanation of this phenomenon. In this work, we provide the first insights into the working mechanisms of distillation by studying the special case of linear and deep linear classifiers. Specifically, we prove a generalization bound that establishes fast convergence of the expected risk of a distillation-trained linear classifier. From the bound and its proof we extract three keyfactors that determine the success of distillation: data geometry – geometric properties of the datadistribution, in particular class separation, has an immediate influence on the convergence speed of the risk; optimization bias– gradient descentoptimization finds a very favorable minimum of the distillation objective; and strong monotonicity– the expected risk of the student classifier always decreases when the size of the training set grows.' article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Phuong full_name: Bui Thi Mai, Phuong id: 3EC6EE64-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Bui Thi Mai - first_name: Christoph full_name: Lampert, Christoph id: 40C20FD2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Lampert orcid: 0000-0001-8622-7887 citation: ama: 'Phuong M, Lampert C.

Therefore, it has become a standard procedure to collect data from external sources, e.g. via crowdsourcing. Unfortunately, the quality of these sources is not always guaranteed. As additional complications, the data might be stored in a distributed way, or might even have to remain private. In this work, we address the question of how to learn robustly in such scenarios. Studying the problem through the lens of statistical learning theory, we derive a procedure that allows for learning from all available sources, yet automatically suppresses irrelevant or corrupted data.
