Minimalist Approach to End-to-End Vision Language Navigation with Multi-Modal Foundation Model Features
… navigation (VLN) approaches leverage large models, prompt engineering, and/or explicit reasoning for instruction interpretation and agent guidance. We introduce MiniNav, a minimalist framework employing frozen vision-language foundation models as patch-wise feature extractors, avoiding data …

The Influence of Model Features on Goodness-of-Fit Indices: Choosing Indices to Evaluate Your Model
… to determine if values were predicted based on model and sample features, and (d) the development of a representative sample for model selection in Study 2. Study 1 identified 366 articles, and recreated indices for 187 of those articles. The regression analysis demonstrated that several indices …

A discrete-time waning immunity model for the spread of an immune escape pathogen
… explores the formulation of waning immunity models for the spread of an immune escape (antigenically evolving) pathogen, such as the Omicron lineage of SARS-CoV-2, and investigates the possibility of such models in generating sustained or relatively large amplitudes of damped oscillations in …
