Optimal Transport Based Testing in Factorial Design

Authors Groppe M, Niemöller L, Hundrieser S, Ventzke D, Blob A, Köster S, Munk A Journal Arxiv Citation arXiv:2509.13970. Abstract We introduce a general framework for testing statistical hypotheses for probability measures supported on finite spaces, which is based on optimal transport (OT). These tests are inspired by the analysis

Interpreting convolutional neural networks to study wide-field amacrine cell inhibition in the retina

Authors Vystrčilová M, Sridhar S, Burg MF, Gollisch T, Ecker AS Journal BioRxiv Citation bioRxiv 2025.09.08.674839. Abstract Wide-field amacrine cells (ACs) play a unique role in retinal processing by integrating visual information across a large spatial area. Their inhibitory influence has been implicated in multiple retinal functions such as differential
