Abstract: Absolute testing separates the reference surface error from the test surface error in Fizeau interferometry. To resolve high-spatial-frequency components in ...

Model-based testing (MBT), whereby a model of the system under test is analyzed to generate high-coverage test cases, has been used to test protocol implementations. A key barrier to the use of MBT is ...

Conditional independence testing seeks to determine whether two random variables are independent given the value of a third. This concept underpins causal discovery, graphical modelling and variable ...

Masked diffusion models (MDMs) offer a compelling alternative to autoregressive models (ARMs) for discrete text generation because they enable parallel token sampling, rather than sequential, ...

In this tutorial, we explore property-based testing using Hypothesis and build a rigorous testing pipeline that goes far beyond traditional unit testing. We implement invariants, differential testing, ...

Proper respirator fit is the foundation of effective respiratory protection. Even the highest-quality respirator cannot protect a worker from hazardous contaminants if it does not seal correctly to ...

Lee Zeldin, the E.P.A. administrator, revived a plan created during the first Trump administration to end the testing of chemicals on mammals. By Lisa Friedman The Environmental Protection Agency will ...

We introduce GenAI4UQ, a software package for inverse uncertainty quantification in model calibration, parameter estimation, and ensemble forecasting. GenAI4UQ leverages a generative AI-based ...

Using framework analysis, we categorized data guided by the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability to assess affective attitude, burden, ethicality, intervention coherence, opportunity costs, ...
