By now there is substantial evidence that deep learning models learn certain human-interpretable features as part of their internal representations of data. As having the right (or wrong) concepts is critical to trustworthy machine learning systems, it is natural to ask which inputs from the model's original training s...

Consider the Schr\"odinger operator $-\triangle+\lambda V$ with non-negative iid random potential $V$ of strength $\lambda>0$. We prove existence and uniqueness of the associated landscape function on the whole space, and show that its correlations decay exponentially. As a main ingredient we establish the (annealed an...

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have garnered considerable attention as an emerging thermoelectric (TE) material owing to their unique density of state (DOS) near the Fermi level. We investigate the TE performance of Janus $\beta$-PdXY (X/Y=S, Se, Te) monolayer materials as a function of carrier concentration and mid-te...

Many new linearized coefficients for Lorentz violation are discovered in our recent work on the construction of a generic Lorentz-violating effective field theory in curved spacetime. The new coefficients can be constrained by experiments in weak gravity fields. In this work, we compare experiments in different gravita...

Noise is a part of data whether the data is from measurement, experiment or ... A few techniques are suggested for noise reduction to improve the data quality in recent years some of which are based on wavelet, orthogonalization and neural networks. The computational cost of existing methods are more than expected and ...

We study the impact of data sharing policies on cyber insurance markets. These policies have been proposed to address the scarcity of data about cyber threats, which is essential to manage cyber risks. We propose a Cournot duopoly competition model in which two insurers choose the number of policies they offer (i.e., t...
