Data-driven algorithms are studied in diverse domains to support critical decisions, directly impacting people's well-being. As a result, growing community of researchers has been investigating the equity existing and proposing novel ones, advancing understanding risks opportunities automated decision-making for historically disadvantaged populations. Progress fair Machine Learning hinges on da...

Abstract With the perspective on applications of AI-technology, especially data intensive deep learning approaches, need for methods to control and understand such models has been recognized gave rise a new research domain labeled explainable artificial intelligence (XAI). In this overview paper we give an interim appraisal what achieved so far where there are still gaps in research. We take in...

ESTROGEN is a complex gonadal hormone that reportedly exhibits numerous neurobehavioral effects in both human volunteers and animals. Evidence from basic science and clinical research demonstrates that estrogen can enhance cognitive function of healthy older women as well asthose with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) (1–3). Although the biology of estrogen strongly supports its neuromodulatory and neur...

When the RNA journal started in March 1995, I was a second year Assistant Professor still trying to establish my research program. My postdoctoral work with Olke Uhlenbeck at the University of Colorado at Boulder was on finding new ribozymes through in vitro selection. I was very excited to continue the research in RNA catalysis and RNA folding in my own lab. Our first paper in RNA, published i...
