TL;DR: It is verified that brain regions encoding preferences can valuate various categories of objects and further test whether they still express preferences when attention is diverted to another task.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that addition and subtraction are encoded within the same cortical region that is responsible for eye movements to the right and left, such that the neural activity associated with addition could be distinguished from that associated with subtraction by a computational classifier trained to discriminate between rightward and leftward eye movements.
Abstract: Throughout the history of mathematics, concepts of number and space have been tightly intertwined. We tested the hypothesis that cortical circuits for spatial attention contribute to mental arithmetic in humans. We trained a multivariate classifier algorithm to infer the direction of an eye movement, left or right, from the brain activation measured in the posterior parietal cortex. Without further training, the classifier then generalized to an arithmetic task. Its left versus right classification could be used to sort out subtraction versus addition trials, whether performed with symbols or with sets of dots. These findings are consistent with the suggestion that mental arithmetic co-opts parietal circuitry associated with spatial coding.

TL;DR: A new hierarchical probabilistic model for brain activity patterns that does not require an experimental design to be specified is given and this model is estimated in the dictionary learning framework, learning simultaneously latent spatial maps and the corresponding brain activity time-series.
Abstract: Fluctuations in brain on-going activity can be used to reveal its intrinsic functional organization. To mine this information, we give a new hierarchical probabilistic model for brain activity patterns that does not require an experimental design to be specified. We estimate this model in the dictionary learning framework, learning simultaneously latent spatial maps and the corresponding brain activity time-series. Unlike previous dictionary learning frameworks, we introduce an explicit difference between subject-level spatial maps and their corresponding population-level maps, forming an atlas. We give a novel algorithm using convex optimization techniques to solve efficiently this problem with non-smooth penalties well-suited to image denoising. We show on simulated data that it can recover population-level maps as well as subject specificities. On resting-state fMRI data, we extract the first atlas of spontaneous brain activity and show how it defines a subject-specific functional parcellation of the brain in localized regions.

TL;DR: XGBoost as discussed by the authors proposes a sparsity-aware algorithm for sparse data and weighted quantile sketch for approximate tree learning to achieve state-of-the-art results on many machine learning challenges.
Abstract: Tree boosting is a highly effective and widely used machine learning method. In this paper, we describe a scalable end-to-end tree boosting system called XGBoost, which is used widely by data scientists to achieve state-of-the-art results on many machine learning challenges. We propose a novel sparsity-aware algorithm for sparse data and weighted quantile sketch for approximate tree learning. More importantly, we provide insights on cache access patterns, data compression and sharding to build a scalable tree boosting system. By combining these insights, XGBoost scales beyond billions of examples using far fewer resources than existing systems.
