An ultimate liquid xenon experiment would be limited in its dark matter science reach by irreducible neutrino backgrounds, which are an exciting signal in their own right. To achieve such sensitivity, other backgrounds that currently plague these detectors must be better mitigated, and extreme care must be taken in the...

Dependence on raw materials, especially in the mining sector, is a key part of today's economy. Aggregates are vital, being the second most used raw material after water. Digitally transforming this sector is key to optimizing operations. However, supervision and maintenance (predictive and corrective) are challenges l...

Citation recommendation (CR) models may help authors find relevant articles at various stages of the paper writing process. Most research has dealt with either global CR, which produces general recommendations suitable for the initial writing stage, or local CR, which produces specific recommendations more fitting for ...

Understanding model's sensitivity to its training data is crucial but can also be challenging and costly, especially during training. To simplify such issues, we present the Memory-Perturbation Equation (MPE) which relates model's sensitivity to perturbation in its training data. Derived using Bayesian principles, the ...

Knowledge graph reasoning (KGR) -- answering complex logical queries over large knowledge graphs -- represents an important artificial intelligence task, entailing a range of applications (e.g., cyber threat hunting). However, despite its surging popularity, the potential security risks of KGR are largely unexplored, w...

Large wildfires are becoming more frequent at temperate latitudes. Often, fires generate massive convective columns that can carry solid particles (ash) into the stratosphere. Like their meteorological counterparts, pyrocumulonimbus (pyroCb) clouds can generate intense lightning storms. Recently, pyrogenic lightning ha...
