Impact of Channel Memory on the Data Freshness
In this letter, we investigate the impact of channel memory on the average age of information (AoI) for networks with various packet arrival models under first-come-first-served (FCFS) and preemptive last-generated-first-served (pLGFS) policies over Gilbert-Elliott (GE) erasure channel. For networks with Bernoulli arri...

Probing helium reionization with kinetic Sunyaev Zel'dovich tomography
Reionization of helium is expected to occur at redshifts $z\sim3$ and have important consequences for quasar populations, galaxy formation, and the morphology of the intergalactic medium, but there is little known empirically about the process. Here we show that kinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich (kSZ) tomography, based on the ...

Optimal and tight Bell inequalities for state-independent contextuality sets
Two fundamental quantum resources, nonlocality and contextuality, can be connected through Bell inequalities that are violated by state-independent contextuality (SI-C) sets. These Bell inequalities allow for applications that require simultaneous nonlocality and contextuality. However, for existing Bell inequalities, ...

Minimax Rates for High-dimensional Double Sparse Structure over $\ell_u(\ell_q)$-balls
In this paper, we focus on the high-dimensional double sparse structure, where the parameter of interest simultaneously encourages group-wise sparsity and element-wise sparsity in each group.

Logarithmically larger deletion codes of all distances
The deletion distance between two binary words $u,v \in \{0,1\}^n$ is the smallest $k$ such that $u$ and $v$ share a common subsequence of length $n-k$. A set $C$ of binary words of length $n$ is called a $k$-deletion code if every pair of distinct words in $C$ has deletion distance greater than $k$. In 1965, Levenshte...

A combinatorial proof of a tantalizing symmetry on Catalan objects
We investigate a tantalizing symmetry on Catalan objects. In terms of Dyck paths, this symmetry is interpreted in the following way: if $w_{n,k,m}$ is the number of Dyck paths of semilength $n$ with $k$ occurrences of $UD$ and $m$ occurrences of $UUD$, then $w_{2k+1,k,m}=w_{2k+1,k,k+1-m}$.

The strong Byzantine agreement (SBA) problem is defined among n processes, out of which t < n can be faulty and behave arbitrarily. SBA allows correct (non-faulty) processes to agree on a common value. Moreover, if all correct processes have proposed the same value, only that value can be agreed upon. It has been known...

Methods for transverse and longitudinal spin-photon coupling in silicon quantum dots with intrinsic spin-orbit effect
In a full-scale quantum computer with a fault-tolerant architecture, having scalable, long-range interaction between qubits is expected to be a highly valuable resource. One promising method of achieving this is through the light-matter interaction between spins in semiconductors and photons in superconducting cavities...

Object level footprint uncertainty quantification in infrastructure based sensing
We examine the problem of estimating footprint uncertainty of objects imaged using the infrastructure based camera sensing. A closed form relationship is established between the ground coordinates and the sources of the camera errors. Using the error propagation equation, the covariance of a given ground coordinate can...

Data fusion using weakly aligned sources
We introduce a new data fusion method that utilizes multiple data sources to estimate a smooth, finite-dimensional parameter. Most existing methods only make use of fully aligned data sources that share common conditional distributions of one or more variables of interest. However, in many settings, the scarcity of ful...

Bi-level iterative regularization for inverse problems in nonlinear PDEs
We investigate the ill-posed inverse problem of recovering unknown spatially dependent parameters in nonlinear evolution PDEs. We propose a bi-level Landweber scheme, where the upper-level parameter reconstruction embeds a lower-level state approximation. This can be seen as combining the classical reduced setting and ...

On Galois self-orthogonal algebraic geometry codes
Galois self-orthogonal (SO) codes are generalizations of Euclidean and Hermitian SO codes. Algebraic geometry (AG) codes are the first known class of linear codes exceeding the Gilbert-Varshamov bound. Both of them have attracted much attention for their rich algebraic structures and wide applications in these years. I...

Multi-Resolution Audio-Visual Feature Fusion for Temporal Action Localization
Temporal Action Localization (TAL) aims to identify actions' start, end, and class labels in untrimmed videos. While recent advancements using transformer networks and Feature Pyramid Networks (FPN) have enhanced visual feature recognition in TAL tasks, less progress has been made in the integration of audio features i...

The History and Risks of Reinforcement Learning and Human Feedback
Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) has emerged as a powerful technique to make large language models (LLMs) easier to use and more effective. A core piece of the RLHF process is the training and utilization of a model of human preferences that acts as a reward function for optimization. This approach, wh...

The quenched glueball spectrum from smeared spectral densities
The standard approach to compute the glueball spectrum on the lattice relies on the evaluation of effective masses from two-point correlation functions of operators with the quantum numbers of the desired state. In this work, we propose an alternative procedure, based on the numerical computation of smeared spectral de...

Data-efficient operator learning for solving high Mach number fluid flow problems
We consider the problem of using SciML to predict solutions of high Mach fluid flows over irregular geometries. In this setting, data is limited, and so it is desirable for models to perform well in the low-data setting. We show that Neural Basis Functions (NBF), which learns a basis of behavior modes from the data and...

Convergent finite element methods for antiferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic materials
We consider the numerical approximation of a continuum model of antiferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic materials. The state of the material is described in terms of two unit-length vector fields, which can be interpreted as the magnetizations averaging the spins of two sublattices. For the static setting, which requires t...

Modelling the 3D spatiotemporal organisation of chromatin replication
We propose a polymer model for the dynamics of chromatin replication in three dimensional space. Our simulations indicate that both immobile and tracking replisomes may self-assemble during the process, reconciling previous apparently discordant experimental evidence in favour of either scenario. Which of the two morph...

Revealing dark exciton signatures in polariton spectra of 2D materials
Dark excitons in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) have been so far neglected in the context of polariton physics due to their lack of oscillator strength. However, in tungsten-based TMDs, dark excitons are known to be the energetically lowest states and could thus provide important scattering partners for polarit...

Electrical Non-Hermitian Control of Topological Magnon Spin Transport
Magnonic topological phases realize chiral edge spin waves that are protected against backscattering, potentially enabling highly efficient spin transport. Here we show that the spin transport through these magnonic chiral edge states can be electrically manipulated by non-Hermitian control. We consider the paradigmati...

The Dynamics of (Not) Unfollowing Misinformation Spreaders
Many studies explore how people 'come into' misinformation exposure. But much less is known about how people 'come out of' misinformation exposure. Do people organically sever ties to misinformation spreaders? And what predicts doing so? Over six months, we tracked the frequency and predictors of ~900K followers unfoll...
