Based on QCD sum rules, we investigate the twist-2 distribution amplitudes of the scalar mesons $a_{0}(980)$ and $a_{0}(1450)$. We have derived the moments for these scalar mesons, composed of two constituent valence quarks, to the first order by selecting appropriate correlation functions. Subsequently, we have determined the first two Gegenbauer coefficients of these scalar mesons, employing these moments, we further analyze the twist-2 light-cone distribution amplitudes for the $a_{0}$ meson. The paper concludes with an examination of the weak decay widths for the transitions $B,D\rightarrow a_{0}$., Comment: 13 pages,6 figures

Artificial intelligence (AI) ethics has emerged as a burgeoning yet pivotal area of scholarly research. This study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the AI ethics literature over the past two decades. The analysis reveals a discernible tripartite progression, characterized by an incubation phase, followed by a subsequent phase focused on imbuing AI with human-like attributes, culminating in a third phase emphasizing the development of human-centric AI systems. After that, they present seven key AI ethics issues, encompassing the Collingridge dilemma, the AI status debate, challenges associated with AI transparency and explainability, privacy protection complications, considerations of justice and fairness, concerns about algocracy and human enfeeblement, and the issue of superintelligence. Finally, they identify two notable research gaps in AI ethics regarding the large ethics model (LEM) and AI identification and extend an invitation for further scholarly research.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Ethics is a nascent yet critical research field. Recent developments in generative AI and foundational models necessitate a renewed look at the problem of AI Ethics. In this study, we perform a bibliometric analysis of AI Ethics literature for the last 20 years based on keyword search. Our study reveals a three-phase development in AI Ethics, namely an incubation phase, making AI human-like machines phase, and making AI human-centric machines phase. We conjecture that the next phase of AI ethics is likely to focus on making AI more machine-like as AI matches or surpasses humans intellectually, a term we coin as "machine-like human".

We systematically study the semileptonic decay process of $ D\rightarrow S,A l\bar{\nu_{l}}(l=e,\mu)$ by light-cone sum rules (LCSR) with chiral currents, calculate the form factors containing only the contribution of the leading twist light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs). For scalar mesons $a_{0}(980)$ and $a_{0}(1450)$, we take them as $q\bar{q}$ states. For axial-vector meson, we study $a_{1}(1260)( 1^{3}p^{1})$ and $b_{1}(1235)( 1^{1}p^{1})$. Based on the results of these form factors, we further present the branching ratios of these semileptonic decay processes. The numerical results for $ D\rightarrow a_{0}(980), b_{1}(1235)l\bar{\nu_{l}} $ are in good agreement with experiments and that for $ D\rightarrow a_{0}(1450)l\bar{\nu_{l}}$ process are expected to be tested experimentally in the future., Comment: 25 pages, 25 figures

We apply the method of QCD sum rules to study the doubly heavy tetraquark states $QQ\bar{q}\bar{n}$ with spin-parity $J^{P}=1^{+}$ and strangeness $S=0, -1$ using careful estimates of the Borel and threshold parameters involved. Masses of the doubly bottom and charmed tetraquarks with isospin $I=0,1/2, 1$ are computed precisely via taking into account multifarious condensates up to dimension $10$. Comparing with the two-heavy meson thresholds, we find that all nonstrange doubly-bottom tetraquarks and a doubly-charmed tetraquarks associted with $J_{3}$ with $J^{P}=1^{+}$ are stable against strong decay into two bottom mesons while a doubly-charmed tetraquarks associated with current $J_{2}$ is unstable against strong decay. By the way, weak decay widths of the doubly bottom tetraquarks are also given., Comment: 26 pages, 9 figures.

The deployment of deep learning applications has to address the growing privacy concerns when using private and sensitive data for training. A conventional deep learning model is prone to privacy attacks that can recover the sensitive information of individuals from either model parameters or accesses to the target model. Recently, differential privacy that offers provable privacy guarantees has been proposed to train neural networks in a privacy-preserving manner to protect training data. However, many approaches tend to provide the worst case privacy guarantees for model publishing, inevitably impairing the accuracy of the trained models. In this paper, we present a novel private knowledge transfer strategy, where the private teacher trained on sensitive data is not publicly accessible but teaches a student to be publicly released. In particular, a three-player (teacher-student-discriminator) learning framework is proposed to achieve trade-off between utility and privacy, where the student acquires the distilled knowledge from the teacher and is trained with the discriminator to generate similar outputs as the teacher. We then integrate a differential privacy protection mechanism into the learning procedure, which enables a rigorous privacy budget for the training. The framework eventually allows student to be trained with only unlabelled public data and very few epochs, and hence prevents the exposure of sensitive training data, while ensuring model utility with a modest privacy budget. The experiments on MNIST, SVHN and CIFAR-10 datasets show that our students obtain the accuracy losses w.r.t teachers of 0.89%, 2.29%, 5.16%, respectively with the privacy bounds of (1.93, 10^-5), (5.02, 10^-6), (8.81, 10^-6). When compared with the existing works \cite{papernot2016semi,wang2019private}, the proposed work can achieve 5-82% accuracy loss improvement., Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures, ECAI 2020, the 24th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence

Image registration algorithms can be generally categorized into two groups: non-rigid and rigid. Recently, many deep learning-based algorithms employ a neural net to characterize non-rigid image registration function. However, do they always perform better? In this study, we compare the state-of-art deep learning-based non-rigid registration approach with rigid registration approach. The data is generated from Kaggle Dog vs Cat Competition \url{https://www.kaggle.com/c/dogs-vs-cats/} and we test the algorithms' performance on rigid transformation including translation, rotation, scaling, shearing and pixelwise non-rigid transformation. The Voxelmorph is trained on rigidset and nonrigidset separately for comparison and we also add a gaussian blur layer to its original architecture to improve registration performance. The best quantitative results in both root-mean-square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE) metrics for rigid registration are produced by SimpleElastix and non-rigid registration by Voxelmorph. We select representative samples for visual assessment.

Computing-in-Memory (CiM) architectures aim to reduce costly data transfers by performing arithmetic and logic operations in memory and hence relieve the pressure due to the memory wall. However, determining whether a given workload can really benefit from CiM, which memory hierarchy and what device technology should be adopted by a CiM architecture requires in-depth study that is not only time consuming but also demands significant expertise in architectures and compilers. This paper presents an energy evaluation framework, Eva-CiM, for systems based on CiM architectures. Eva-CiM encompasses a multi-level (from device to architecture) comprehensive tool chain by leveraging existing modeling and simulation tools such as GEM5, McPAT [2] and DESTINY [3]. To support high-confidence prediction, rapid design space exploration and ease of use, Eva-CiM introduces several novel modeling/analysis approaches including models for capturing memory access and dependency-aware ISA traces, and for quantifying interactions between the host CPU and CiM modules. Eva-CiM can readily produce energy estimates of the entire system for a given program, a processor architecture, and the CiM array and technology specifications. Eva-CiM is validated by comparing with DESTINY [3] and [4], and enables findings including practical contributions from CiM-supported accesses, CiM-sensitive benchmarking as well as the pros and cons of increased memory size for CiM. Eva-CiM also enables exploration over different configurations and device technologies, showing 1.3-6.0X energy improvement for SRAM and 2.0-7.9X for FeFET-RAM, respectively., Comment: 13 pages, 16 figures

Adopting the graph-theoretic approach to the correlation experiments, we analyze the origin of monogamy and prove that it can be recognized as a consequence of the exclusivity principle(EP). We provide an operational criterion for monogamy: if the fractional packing number of the graph corresponding to the union of event sets of several physical experiments does not exceed the sum of independence numbers of each individual experiment graph, then these experiments are monogamous. As applications of this observation, several examples are provided, including the monogamy for experiments of Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) type, Klyachko-Can-Binicio\u{g}lu-Shumovsky (KCBS) type, and for the first time, we give some monogamy relations of Svetlichny's genuine nonlocality. We also give the necessary and sufficient conditions for several experiments to be monogamous: several experiments are monogamous if and only if the Lov\'asz number of the union exclusive graph is less than or equal to the sum of independence numbers of each exclusive graph.
