Binary Image Selection (BISON): Interpretable Evaluation of Visual Grounding | Providing systems the ability to relate linguistic and visual content is one

Parallelization does not Accelerate Convex Optimization: Adaptivity Lower Bounds for Non-smooth Convex Minimization | In this paper we study the limitations of parallelization in convex

Velocity dependence of point masses, moving on timelike geodesics, in weak gravitational fields | Applying the principle of equivalence, analogous to Einstein's original 1907

Student and instructor framing in upper-division physics | Upper-division physics students spend much of their time solving problems. In
addition to their basic skills and background, their epistemic framing can form
an important part of their ability to learn physics from these problems.
Encouraging students to move toward productive framing may help them solve
problems. Th... | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Deep Generative Model using Unregularized Score for Anomaly Detection with Heterogeneous Complexity | Accurate and automated detection of anomalous samples in a natural image
dataset can be accomplished with a probabilistic model for end-to-end modeling
of images. Such images have heterogeneous complexity, however, and a
probabilistic model overlooks simply shaped objects with small anomalies. This
is because the pro... | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Non-collinear magnetic structure and multipolar order in Eu$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$ | The magnetic properties of the pyrochlore iridate material Eu$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$
(5$d^5$) have been studied based on the first principle calculations, where the
crystal field splitting $\Delta$, spin-orbit coupling (SOC) $\lambda$ and
Coulomb interaction $U$ within Ir 5$d$ orbitals are all playing significant

OGLE-2013-BLG-1761Lb: A Massive Planet Around an M/K Dwarf | We report the discovery and the analysis of the planetary microlensing event,
OGLE-2013-BLG-1761. There are some degenerate solutions in this event because
the planetary anomaly is only sparsely sampled. But the detailed light curve
analysis ruled out all stellar binary models and shows that the lens to be a

Phase-Aware Single-Channel Speech Enhancement with Modulation-Domain Kalman Filtering | We present a single-channel phase-sensitive speech enhancement algorithm that
is based on modulation-domain Kalman filtering and on tracking the speech phase
using circular statistics. With Kalman filtering, using that speech and noise

Reduction and specialization of hyperelliptic continued fractions | For a monic polynomial $D(X)$ of even degree, express $\sqrt D$ as a Laurent
series in $X^{-1}$; this yields a continued fraction expansion (similar to
continued fractions of real numbers): \[\sqrt
D=a_0+\dfrac{1}{a_1+\dfrac{1}{a_2+\dfrac{1}{\ddots}}},\quad a_i\text{

Three years of SPHERE: the latest view of the morphology and evolution of protoplanetary discs | Spatially resolving the immediate surroundings of young stars is a key

near-infrared imaging instruments to image protoplanetary discs. The Guaranteed

Tensor Methods for Nonlinear Matrix Completion | In the low rank matrix completion (LRMC) problem, the low rank assumption
means that the columns (or rows) of the matrix to be completed are points on a
low-dimensional linear algebraic variety. This paper extends this thinking to
cases where the columns are points on a low-dimensional nonlinear algebraic
variety, a ... | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Visual Interaction Networks | From just a glance, humans can make rich predictions about the future state
of a wide range of physical systems. On the other hand, modern approaches from
engineering, robotics, and graphics are often restricted to narrow domains and
require direct measurements of the underlying states. We introduce the Visual

Using polarimetry to retrieve the cloud coverage of Earth-like exoplanets | Context. Clouds have already been detected in exoplanetary atmospheres. They
play crucial roles in a planet's atmosphere and climate and can also create
ambiguities in the determination of atmospheric parameters such as trace gas
mixing ratios. Knowledge of cloud properties is required when assessing the

Dirac nodal lines and induced spin Hall effect in metallic rutile oxides | We have found Dirac nodal lines (DNLs) in the band structures of metallic
rutile oxides IrO$_2$, OsO$_2$, and RuO$_2$ and revealed a large spin Hall
conductivity contributed by these nodal lines, which explains a strong spin
Hall effect (SHE) of IrO$_2$ discovered recently. Two types of DNLs exist. The

Chaotic Dynamics Enhance the Sensitivity of Inner Ear Hair Cells | Hair cells of the auditory and vestibular systems are capable of detecting

A Robot Localization Framework Using CNNs for Object Detection and Pose Estimation | External localization is an essential part for the indoor operation of small

Cardinal Virtues: Extracting Relation Cardinalities from Text | Information extraction (IE) from text has largely focused on relations

A Decision Tree Approach to Predicting Recidivism in Domestic Violence | Domestic violence (DV) is a global social and public health issue that is

On the Necessity of Superparametric Geometry Representation for Discontinuous Galerkin Methods on Domains with Curved Boundaries | We provide numerical evidence demonstrating the necessity of employing a

Low-dose cryo electron ptychography via non-convex Bayesian optimization | Electron ptychography has seen a recent surge of interest for phase sensitive

Thermalization near integrability in a dipolar quantum Newton's cradle | Isolated quantum many-body systems with integrable dynamics generically do

Hausdorff dimension of the boundary of bubbles of additive Brownian motion and of the Brownian sheet | We first consider the additive Brownian motion process $(X(s_1,s_2),\
