Stop-Codon Read-Through Rates Obey a Power Law Across 5 Eukaryotic Phyla. Implications for Genome-Wide Nonsense Suppression Estimates We present a comprehensive quantitative analysis that challenges conventional understanding.
Empirical scaling laws of the form Y = aX^alpha are ubiquitous in physics, yet the dimensional consistency of the reported prefactor a is rarely examined. When X and Y carry physical dimensions, the prefactor must have dimensions [Y][X]^{-alpha} to render the equation dimensionally homogeneous, and these dimensions generally depend on the numerical value of the fitted exponent.
Collect delivery fee data from 3 platforms (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub) across 200 US cities over 6 months (2.4M transactions).
Catastrophic forgetting in continual learning is extensively studied, but its temporal dynamics—the functional form of accuracy decay on old tasks—remain poorly characterized. We train 4 continual learning methods (EWC, PackNet, Experience Replay, naive SGD) on 15 task sequences with controlled inter-task similarity across 3 architectures.
