    While convenient in daily life, face recognition technologies also raise privacy concerns for regular users on the social media since they could be used to analyze face images and videos, efficiently and surreptitiously without any security restrictions. In this paper, we investigate the face privacy protection from a technology standpoint based on a new typ

    Resolved maps of the thermal and nonthermal radio continuum (RC) emission of distant galaxies are a powerful tool for understanding the role of the interstellar medium (ISM) in the evolution of galaxies. We simulate the RC surface brightness of present-day star forming galaxies in the past at $0.15<z<3$ considering two cases of radio size evolution: (1)~no e

    An ultrafilter $p$ on $\omega$ is said to be discrete if, given any function $f\colon \omega \to X$ to any completely regular Hausdorff space, there is an $A \in p$ such that $f(A)$ is discrete. Basic properties of discrete ultrafilters are studied. Three intermediate classes of spaces $\mathscr R_1 \subset \mathscr R_2 \subset \mathscr R_3$ between the clas

    Extreme multi-label text classification (XMTC) refers to the problem of tagging a given text with the most relevant subset of labels from a large label set. A majority of labels only have a few training instances due to large label dimensionality in XMTC. To solve this data sparsity issue, most existing XMTC methods take advantage of fixed label clusters obt

    We investigate tight monogamy relations of multiparty quantum entanglement for any quantum state in this paper. First, we obtain a class of lower bounds for multiparty quantum systems which improve the previous results. Next, we establish a class of tighter monogamy relations in tripartite quantum systems by means of the new inequality. Furthermore, we gener

    We show that braided Cherednik algebras introduced by the first two authors are cocycle twists of rational Cherednik algebras of the imprimitive complex reflection groups $G(m,p,n)$, when $m$ is even. This gives a new construction of mystic reflection groups which have Artin-Schelter regular rings of quantum polynomial invariants. As an application of this r

    In this paper, we propose a weak approximation of the reflection coupling (RC) for stochastic differential equations (SDEs), and prove it converges weakly to the desired coupling. In contrast to the RC, the proposed approximate reflection coupling (ARC) need not take the hitting time of processes to the diagonal set into consideration and can be defined as t

    Rossby wave instabilities (RWIs) usually lead to nonaxisymmetric vortices in protoplanetary discs and some observed sub-structures of these discs can be well explained by RWIs. We explore how the cooling influences the growth rate of unstable RWI modes in terms of the linear perturbation analysis. The cooling associated with the energy equation is treated in

    The existence and characterisation of noise-driven bifurcations from the spatially homogeneous stationary states of a nonlinear, non-local Fokker--Planck type partial differential equation describing stochastic neural fields is established. The resulting theory is extended to a system of partial differential equations modelling noisy grid cells. It is shown

    Antiferromagnetic materials have been proposed as new types of narrowband THz spintronic devices owing to their ultrafast spin dynamics. Manipulating coherently their spin dynamics, however, remains a key challenge that is envisioned to be accomplished by spin-orbit torques or direct optical excitations. Here, we demonstrate the combined generation of broadb

    In the famous paper of Deligne and Mumford, they proved that a proper hyperbolic curve over a discrete valuation field has stable reduction if and only if the Jacobian variety of the curve has stable reduction in the case where the residue field of its valuation ring is algebraically closed. In the proof, the theory of minimal regular models played an import

    Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group and $N$ be a normal subgroup of $\Gamma$. The fiber product of $\Gamma$ with respect to $N$ is the subgroup $\Gamma \times_N \Gamma=\{(\gamma, \gamma w): \gamma \in \Gamma, w \in N\}$ of the direct product $\Gamma \times \Gamma$. For every representation $\rho:\Gamma \times_N \Gamma \rightarrow \mathsf{GL}_d(k)$, wh

    We have studied the superexchange interaction $J_{ij}$ in doped $2D$ cuprates. The AFM interaction strongly depends on the state of the lattice of a CuO$_2$ layer surrounded by two LaO rock salt layers. In a static $U$ and $D$ stripe nanostructure, the homogeneous AFM interaction is impossible due to the $U/D/U...$ periodic stripe sequence and $T_N=0$. In a

    We study two spinless bosons interacting via two-body Gaussian potential subjected to an externally impressed rotation about an axis confined in a harmonic trap in two-spatial dimensions. We obtain a transcendental equation for the relative angular momentum $|m|$ state with various values of the two-body interaction range $\sigma$ and the two-body interactio

    We consider the robust control of a two-mass oscillator with a dominant input delay. Our aim is to compare a fractional-order tuning approach including the partial compensation of non-minimum phase zeros with a classical H-infinity loop-shaping design, since both these designs lead to a relatively high controller order. First of all a detailed physical model

    Most machine learning methods require tuning of hyper-parameters. For kernel ridge regression with the Gaussian kernel, the hyper-parameter is the bandwidth. The bandwidth specifies the length scale of the kernel and has to be carefully selected to obtain a model with good generalization. The default methods for bandwidth selection, cross-validation and marg

    Gas cooling processes in the interstellar medium (ISM) are key to understanding how star-formation processes occur in galaxies. Far-infrared (FIR) fine-structure emission lines can be used as a tool to understand the gas conditions and trace the different phases of the ISM. We model the most important far-infrared (FIR) emission lines throughout cosmic time

    The binding energies (BE) of molecules on the interstellar grains are crucial in the chemical evolution of the interstellar medium (ISM). Both temperature programmed desorption (TPD) laboratory experiments and quantum chemistry computations have often provided, so far, only single values of the BE for each molecule. This is a severe limitation, as the ices e

    In this paper, we consider subgeometric (specifically, polynomial) ergodicity of univariate nonlinear autoregressions with autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH). The notion of subgeometric ergodicity was introduced in the Markov chain literature in 1980s and it means that the transition probability measures converge to the stationary measure a

    Deep learning based computed tomography (CT) reconstruction has demonstrated outstanding performance on simulated 2D low-dose CT data. This applies in particular to domain adapted neural networks, which incorporate a handcrafted physics model for CT imaging. Empirical evidence shows that employing such architectures reduces the demand for training data and i

    Within the framework of a mean-field approach the Mott-Hubbard phase transition is considered in the Hubbard and Falicov-Kimball models for half-filled occupation. It is shown that a static Z_2-field forms an insulator state on the lattice with a double cell, its strength is determined by the Hubbard interaction. An uniform configuration of the Z_2-field cor

    Understanding the exact extent and content of tidal tails of open clusters provide useful clues on how field stars populate the Milky Way. We reanalyse, using Gaia EDR3 data, the tails around the open cluster NGC 752. Compared to previous analyses, we look at a much wider region around the cluster and use first the convergent point method, coupled with a clu

    Echo State Networks (ESN) are versatile recurrent neural network models in which the hidden layer remains unaltered during training. Interactions among nodes of this static backbone produce diverse representations of the given stimuli that are harnessed by a read-out mechanism to perform computations needed for solving a given task. ESNs are accessible model

    Many-body perturbation theory methods, such as the $G_0W_0$ approximation, are able to accurately predict quasiparticle (QP) properties of several classes of materials. However, the calculation of the QP band structure of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors is known to require a very dense BZ sampling, due to the sharp $q$-dependence of the dielectric matrix

    WiFi-based human action recognition (HAR) has been regarded as a promising solution in applications such as smart living and remote monitoring due to the pervasive and unobtrusive nature of WiFi signals. However, the efficacy of WiFi signals is prone to be influenced by the change in the ambient environment and varies over different sub-carriers. To remedy t

    The Relativistic Dynamical Inversion technique, a novel tool for finding analytical solutions to the Dirac equation, is written in explicitly covariant form. It is then shown how the technique can be used to make a change from Cartesian to spherical coordinates of a given Dirac spinor.

    We formulate and study the notion of $d$-skeletal diffeology, which generalizes that of wire diffeology, introducing the dual notion of $d$-coskeletal diffeology. We first show that paracompact finite-dimensional $C^\infty$-manifolds $M_d$ with $d$-skeletal diffeology inherit good topologies and smooth paracompactness from $M$. We then study the pathology of

    Studies of alcohol and drug use are often interested in the number of days that people use the substance of interest over an interval, such as 28 days before a survey date. Although count models are often used for this purpose, they are not strictly appropriate for this type of data because the response variable is bounded above. Furthermore, if some peoples

    Hedonic games are a prominent model of coalition formation, in which each agent's utility only depends on the coalition she resides. The subclass of hedonic games that models the formation of general partnerships, where output is shared equally among affiliates, is referred to as hedonic games with common ranking property (HGCRP). Aside from their economic m

    We present an in depth analysis of the transient events, or glitches, detected at a rate of about one per day in the differential acceleration data of LISA Pathfinder. We show that these glitches fall in two rather distinct categories: fast transients in the interferometric motion readout on one side, and true force transient events on the other. The former

    For a prime number $p$ and a free pro-$p$ group $G$ on a totally ordered basis $X$, we consider closed normal subgroups $G^\Phi$ of $G$ which are generated by $p$-powers of iterated commutators associated with Lyndon words in the alphabet $X$. We express the profinite cohomology group $H^2(G/G^\Phi)$ combinatorically, in terms of the shuffle algebra on $X$.

    We investigate the memory properties of discrete sequences built upon a finite number of states. We find that the block entropy can reliably determine the memory for systems modeled as Markov chains of arbitrary finite order. Further, we provide an entropy estimator that remarkably gives accurate results when correlations are present. To illustrate our findi

    The celebrated Meyer-Miller mapping model has been a useful approach for generating practical trajectory-based nonadiabatic dynamics methods. It is generally assumed that the zero-point-energy (ZPE) parameter is positive. The constraint implied in the conventional Meyer-Miller mapping Hamiltonian for an F-electronic-state system actually requires that parame

    Given a finitely generated group $G$, we are interested in common geometric properties of all graphs of faithful actions of $G$. In this article we focus on their growth. We say that a group $G$ has a Schreier growth gap $f(n)$ if every faithful $G$-set $X$ satisfies $\mathrm{vol}_{G, X}(n)\succcurlyeq f(n)$, where $\mathrm{vol}_{G, X}(n)$ is the growth of t

    A model of the pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone (pNG) dark matter (DM) is proposed. We assume that there is an $SU(2)_g$ global symmetry and a $U(1)_X$ gauge symmetry in the dark sector, and they are spontaneously broken into a $U(1)_D$ global symmetry after a scalar field develops a vacuum expectation value. We add a soft symmetry breaking term that breaks the $SU(2)

    We introduce the quantum-house effect, a non-local phenomenon which apparently does not require quantum discord to be present. It suffices for the effect if neither subsystem of a bipartite system is in a pure state. This way, the quantum-house effect completely fills the gap between trivial correlations and quantum discord. However, we discuss why the situa

    The resolution of resonant sensors is fundamentally limited by the presence of noise. Thermomechanical noise, intrinsic to the resonator, sets the ultimate sensor performance when all other noise sources have been eliminated. For linear resonators, the sensing resolution can always be further improved by increasing the driving power. However, this trend cann

    Many studies have shown that hydrogen could play a large role in the energy transition for hard-to-electrify sectors, but previous modelling has not included the necessary features to assess its role. They have either left out important sectors of hydrogen demand, ignored the temporal variability in the system or neglected the dynamics of learning effects. W

    The control of flying qubits is at the core of quantum networks. As often carried by single-photon fields, the flying-qubit control involves not only their logical states but also their shapes. In this paper, we explore a variety of flying-qubit control problems using a three-level atom with time-varying tunable couplings to two input-output channels. It is

    Previous analysis of AstroSat observations of the black hole system MAXI J1535-571, have revealed the presence of a strong Quasi-Periodic Oscillation (QPO) whose frequency is correlated with the high energy spectral index. Here, we fit the spectra as emitted from a truncated disc with an inner hot corona, study the QPO frequency dependence on other spectral

    Generalized planning studies the computation of general solutions for a set of planning problems. Computing general solutions with correctness guarantee has long been a key issue in generalized planning. Abstractions are widely used to solve generalized planning problems. Solutions of sound abstractions are those with correctness guarantees for generalized p

    This paper briefly describes the device - the phytosensor - for measuring physiological and electrophysiological parameters of plants. This system is developed as a bio-physiological sensor in precise agriculture, as a tool in plant research and environmental biology, and for plant enthusiasts in smart home or entertainment applications. The phytosentor meas

    The aim of this paper is to determine the asymptotic growth rate of the complexity function of cut-and-project sets in the non-abelian case. In the case of model sets of polytopal type in homogeneous two-step nilpotent Lie groups we can establish that the complexity function asymptotically behaves like $r^{homdim(G) dim(H)}$. Further we generalize the concep

    The use of intense tailored light fields is the perfect tool to achieve ultrafast control of electronic properties in quantum materials. Among them, Mott insulators are materials in which strong electron-electron interactions drive the material into an insulating phase. When shinning a Mott insulator with a strong laser pulse, the electric field may induce t

    The paper proposes in-memory computing (IMC) solution for the design and implementation of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) based cryptographic algorithm. This research aims at increasing the cyber security of autonomous driverless cars or robotic autonomous vehicles. The memristor (MR) designs are proposed in order to emulate the AES algorithm phases

    Let $V_{8}+e$ denote the unique graph obtained from the Wagner graph, also known as $V_{8}$, by adding an edge between two vertices of distance 3 on the Hamilton cycle, which is exactly a split of a minor of the Petersen graph. A complete characterization of all internally 4-connected graphs with no $V_{8}$ minor is given in [J. Maharry and N. Robertson, The

    We study time uncertainty-aware modeling of continuous-time dynamics of interacting objects. We introduce a new model that decomposes independent dynamics of single objects accurately from their interactions. By employing latent Gaussian process ordinary differential equations, our model infers both independent dynamics and their interactions with reliable u

    We investigate the stochastic behavior of the single-trajectory spectral density $S(\omega,\mathcal{T})$ of several Gaussian stochastic processes, i.e., Brownian motion, the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, the Brownian gyrator model and fractional Brownian motion, as a function of the frequency $\omega$ and the observation time $\mathcal{T}$. We evaluate in part

    Every Finsler metric naturally induces a spray but not so for the converse. The notion for sprays of scalar (resp. isotropic) curvature has been known as a generalization for Finsler metrics of scalar (resp. isotropic) flag curvature. In this paper, a new notion, sprays of constant curvature, is introduced and especially it shows that a spray of isotropic cu

    The anomalous spin diffusion of the integrable easy-axis Heisenberg chain originates in the ballistic transport of symmetry sectors with nonzero magnetization. Ballistic transport is replaced by normal dissipative transport in all magnetization sectors upon introducing the integrability-breaking perturbations, including external driving. Such behavior implie

    Driven by several successful applications such as in stochastic gradient descent or in Bayesian computation, control variates have become a major tool for Monte Carlo integration. However, standard methods do not allow the distribution of the particles to evolve during the algorithm, as is the case in sequential simulation methods. Within the standard adapti

    In the present thesis, we are interested in the description of the dynamics of flows on large scales. In this context, the fluids are governed by rotational, weak compressibility and stratification effects, whose importance is measured by adimensional numbers: the Rossby, Mach and Froude numbers. The first part of the thesis is dedicated to the analysis of a

    Unsupervised cross-modality medical image adaptation aims to alleviate the severe domain gap between different imaging modalities without using the target domain label. A key in this campaign relies upon aligning the distributions of source and target domain. One common attempt is to enforce the global alignment between two domains, which, however, ignores t

    We have noticed that Marek et al. (2021) try to re-implement our paper Zheng et al. (2020a) in their work "OodGAN: Generative Adversarial Network for Out-of-Domain Data Generation". Our paper proposes a model to generate pseudo OOD samples that are akin to IN-Domain (IND) input utterances. These pseudo OOD samples can be used to improve the OOD detection per
