Understanding the complete nature of Galactic sources that accelerate cosmic rays up to $10^{15}$ eV energy (Galactic PeVatrons) is still an unsolved problem in high-energy astrophysics. Although supernova remnants have long been considered as the best candidates for Galactic PeVatrons, a clear association of SNRs with...

This paper defines two decreasing measures for terms of the simply typed lambda-calculus, called the W-measure and the Tm-measure. A decreasing measure is a function that maps each typable lambda-term to an element of a well-founded ordering, in such a way that contracting any beta-redex decreases the value of the func...

Application of neural networks in industrial settings, such as automated factories with bin-picking solutions requires costly production of large labeled data-sets. This paper presents an automatic data generation tool with a procedural model of a cardboard box. We briefly demonstrate the capabilities of the system, it...

Machine-readable representations of privacy policies are door openers for a broad variety of novel privacy-enhancing and, in particular, transparency-enhancing technologies (TETs). In order to generate such representations, transparency information needs to be extracted from written privacy policies. However, respectiv...

By integrating certain optimization solvers with deep neural networks, deep unfolding network (DUN) with good interpretability and high performance has attracted growing attention in compressive sensing (CS). However, existing DUNs often improve the visual quality at the price of a large number of parameters and have t...

Synchronization of two replicas of coupled map lattices for continuous maps is known to be in the multiplicative noise universality class. We study this transition in the presence of quenched disorder in coupling. The disorder is identical in both replicas. We study one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and globally couple...

Rendering scenes observed in a monocular video from novel viewpoints is a challenging problem. For static scenes the community has studied both scene-specific optimization techniques, which optimize on every test scene, and generalized techniques, which only run a deep net forward pass on a test scene. In contrast, for...
