A modular tensor category is a non-degenerate ribbon finite tensor category. And a ribbon factorizable Hopf algebra is exactly the Hopf algebra whose finite-dimensional representations form a modular tensor category. The goal of this paper is to construct both semisimple and non-semisimple modular categories with Hopf algebras. In particular, we study centra

Autonomous off-road navigation requires an accurate semantic understanding of the environment, often converted into a bird's-eye view (BEV) representation for various downstream tasks. While learning-based methods have shown success in generating local semantic terrain maps directly from sensor data, their efficacy in off-road environments is hindered by cha

For graphs $G$ and $H$, the Ramsey number $R(G,H)$ is the smallest $r$ such that any red-blue edge coloring of $K_r$ contains a red $G$ or a blue $H$. The path-critical Ramsey number $R_{\pi}(G,H)$ is the largest $n$ such that any red-blue edge coloring of $K_r \setminus P_{n}$ contains a red $G$ or a blue $H$, where $r=R(G,H)$ and $P_{n}$ is a path of order
HoloVIC: Large-scale Dataset and Benchmark for Multi-Sensor Holographic Intersection and Vehicle-Infrastructure Cooperative
cs.CVCong Ma, Lei Qiao, Chengkai Zhu, Kai Liu
Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) is a popular topic in the field of Autonomous Driving in recent years. Vehicle-infrastructure cooperation (VIC) becomes one of the important research area. Due to the complexity of traffic conditions such as blind spots and occlusion, it greatly limits the perception capabilities of single-view roadside sensing systems. To further

Recent studies have focused on enhancing the performance of 3D object detection models. Among various approaches, ground-truth sampling has been proposed as an augmentation technique to address the challenges posed by limited ground-truth data. However, an inherent issue with ground-truth sampling is its tendency to increase false positives. Therefore, this

Cosmic ray muons prove valuable across various fields, from particle physics experiments to non-invasive tomography, thanks to their high flux and exceptional penetrating capability. Utilizing a scintillator detector, one can effectively study the topography of mountains situated above tunnels and underground spaces. The Hankuk Atmospheric-muon Wide Landscap

Humans can easily distinguish the known and unknown categories and can recognize the unknown object by learning it once instead of repeating it many times without forgetting the learned object. Hence, we aim to make deep learning models simulate the way people learn. We refer to such a learning manner as OnLine Open World Object Detection(OLOWOD). Existing O

Lyndon words are extensively studied in combinatorics on words -- they play a crucial role on upper bounding the number of runs a word can have [Bannai+, SIAM J. Comput.'17]. We can determine Lyndon words, factorize a word into Lyndon words in lexicographically non-increasing order, and find the Lyndon rotation of a word, all in linear time within constant a
PPS-QMIX: Periodically Parameter Sharing for Accelerating Convergence of Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning
cs.AIKe Zhang, DanDan Zhu, Qiuhan Xu, Hao Zhou
Training for multi-agent reinforcement learning(MARL) is a time-consuming process caused by distribution shift of each agent. One drawback is that strategy of each agent in MARL is independent but actually in cooperation. Thus, a vertical issue in multi-agent reinforcement learning is how to efficiently accelerate training process. To address this problem, c

In optical communication the transmitter encodes information into a set of light states defined by the modulation format, selected to accommodate specific channel conditions and to remain sufficiently distinguishable at the output. Various receiver architectures have been designed to improve the demodulation performance, ultimately limited by quantum theory.

A learning management system streamlines the management of the teaching process in a centralized place, recording, tracking, and reporting the delivery of educational courses and student performance. Educational knowledge discovery from such an e-learning system plays a crucial role in rule regulation, policy establishment, and system development. However, e
Spatially Non-Stationary XL-MIMO Channel Estimation: A Three-Layer Generalized Approximate Message Passing Method
cs.ITAnzheng Tang, Jun-Bo Wang, Yijin Pan, Wence Zhang
In this paper, channel estimation problem for extremely large-scale multi-input multi-output (XL-MIMO) systems is investigated with the considerations of the spherical wavefront effect and the spatially non-stationary (SnS) property. Due to the diversities of SnS characteristics among different propagation paths, the concurrent channel estimation of multiple
Human Activity Recognition with Low-Resolution Infrared Array Sensor Using Semi-supervised Cross-domain Neural Networks for Indoor Environment

Low-resolution infrared-based human activity recognition (HAR) attracted enormous interests due to its low-cost and private. In this paper, a novel semi-supervised crossdomain neural network (SCDNN) based on 8 $\times$ 8 low-resolution infrared sensor is proposed for accurately identifying human activity despite changes in the environment at a low-cost.

In recent years, Cross-Domain Recommendation (CDR) has drawn significant attention, which utilizes user data from multiple domains to enhance the recommendation performance. However, current CDR methods require sharing user data across domains, thereby violating the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Consequently, numerous approaches have been propos

This paper presents a Geometric-Photometric Joint Alignment~(GPJA) method, which aligns discrete human expressions at pixel-level accuracy by combining geometric and photometric information. Common practices for registering human heads typically involve aligning landmarks with facial template meshes using geometry processing approaches, but often overlook de
