Applying algorithmic differentiation (AD) to computer code is a challenging task. To this end, several tools have been developed over the last decade, which ease the application of AD. With MeDiPack, it is no longer a problem to handle all kinds of MPI communication. The recently released library OpDiLib provides out of the box AD capabilities for OpenMP parallel codes. Modern AD tools, like...

The recent increase in volume and complexity of astronomical data has fomented the use of machine learning techniques. However, the acquisition of labels in astronomy is, by construction, very expensive and time-consuming. In this context, experiment design tasks are aimed at optimizing the allocation of scarce labelling resources. The proper application of such methods will be crucial to...

Dark matter particles pervading our galactic halo could be directly detected by measuring their scattering off target nuclei or electrons in a suitable detector. The expected signal from this interaction is rare, demanding ultra-low background conditions, and small energy deposits below tens of keV would be produced, requiring low energy detection thresholds. Many different and complementary...

The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is a radiation that reaches us from all the directions of the sky. It originated shortly after the Big Bang and is the oldest radiation that we can observe in the Universe, providing us with very valuable information about the early universe and how it evolved. CMB radiation is also polarized. In particular, the next big challenge in the CMB field is to...

Many acquired data are inherently relational: human or automated annotations create high value relational data. For example, a planet might belong to a stellar system which has a star of a certain type. This stellar system belongs to a galaxy which also has its own type (Fig.1).
Relational programming languages are the right tools to handle these strong structured data. Our...

Radiation therapy using protons or heavier ions is sensitive to range errors caused by misalignment of the patient, changes in patient anatomy, and uncertainties in treatment planning. It is therefore of the utmost importance to ensure treatment quality through range verification.
