Entropic Theory Explains Insistence on Sameness in Autism
This paper proposes an information theory-based framework to explain "insistence on sameness" in autism as a strategy to reduce surprise and uncertainty, defining autism as an impairment where cognitive functions are restricted to tangible environmental properties. The framework offers a new metric and guidelines for therapies and robotic caregivers.
Anomaly Detection Algorithm Rankings Unreliable Due to Benchmarking Inconsistencies
A new study reveals that rankings of anomaly detection algorithms are highly unstable, with different benchmark settings causing almost any competitive algorithm to appear as the best. This instability is primarily driven by dataset selection and hyperparameter choices, highlighting issues in reproducibility and reliability.
