1. Tomographic mapping of the hidden dimension in quasi-particle interference

Author: C. A. Marques, M. S. Bahramy, C. Trainer, I. Marković, M. D. Watson, F. Mazzola, A. Rajan, T. D. Raub, P. D. C. King, and P. Wahl
Subjects: Science
Abstract: Quasiparticle interference is a powerful tool for characterization of electronic structure which leverages scattering off defects; however, it is limited to quasi two-dimensional materials. Here, the authors demonstrate a method for reconstructing electronic structure of three-dimensional materials from quasiparticle interference data.

Abstract: Using $pp$ collision data at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV, recorded by the LHCb experiment between 2016 and 2018 and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $5.4$ fb$^{-1}$, the forward-backward asymmetry in the $pp \to Z/\gamma^{*} \to \mu^+\mu^-$ process is measured. The measurement is carried out in ten intervals of the difference between the muon pseudorapidities, within a fiducial region covering dimuon masses between $66$ and $116$ GeV, muon pseudorapidities between $2.0$ and $4.5$ and muon transverse momenta above $20$ GeV. These forward-backward asymmetries are compared with predictions, at next-to-leading order in the strong and electroweak couplings. The measured effective leptonic weak mixing angle is $\sin^2\theta_{\rm eff}^\ell = 0.23147 \pm 0.00044 \pm 0.00005 \pm 0.00023$, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second arises from systematic uncertainties associated with the asymmetry measurement, and the third arises from uncertainties in the fit model used to extract $\sin^2\theta_{\rm eff}^\ell$ from the asymmetry measurement. This result is based on an arithmetic average of results using the CT18, MSHT20, and NNPDF31 parameterisations of the proton internal structure, and is consistent with previous measurements and with predictions from the global electroweak fit., Comment: All figures and tables, along with machine-readable versions and any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lbfence.cern.ch/alcm/public/analysis/full-details/3360/ (LHCb public pages)

3. Uncertainty-Informed Screening for Safer Solvents Used in the Synthesis of Perovskite via Language Models

Author: Mukherjee, Arpan, Giri, Deepesh, and Rajan, Krishna
Subjects: Physics - Chemical Physics, Condensed Matter - Materials Science
Abstract: The challenge of accurately predicting toxicity of industrial solvents used in perovskite synthesis is a necessary undertaking but is limited by a lack of a targeted and structured toxicity data. This paper presents a novel framework that combines an automated data extraction using language models, and an uncertainty-informed prediction model to fill data gaps and improve prediction confidence. First, we have utilized and compared two approaches to automatically extract relevant data from a corpus of scientific literature on solvents used in perovskite synthesis: smaller bidirectional language models like BERT and ELMo are used for their repeatability and deterministic outputs, while autoregressive large language model (LLM) such as GPT-3.5 is used to leverage its larger training corpus and better response generation. Our novel 'prompting and verification' technique integrated with an LLM aims at targeted extraction and refinement, thereby reducing hallucination and improving the quality of the extracted data using the LLM. Next, the extracted data is fed into our pre-trained multi-task binary classification deep learning to predict the ED nature of extracted solvents. We have used a Shannon entropy-based uncertainty quantification utilizing the class probabilities obtained from the classification model to quantify uncertainty and identify data gaps in our predictions. This approach leads to the curation of a structured dataset for solvents used in perovskite synthesis and their uncertainty-informed virtual toxicity assessment. Additionally, chord diagrams have been used to visualize solvent interactions and prioritize those with potential hazards, revealing that 70% of the solvent interactions were primarily associated with two specific perovskites.

4. ARLBench: Flexible and Efficient Benchmarking for Hyperparameter Optimization in Reinforcement Learning

Author: Becktepe, Jannis, Dierkes, Julian, Benjamins, Carolin, Mohan, Aditya, Salinas, David, Rajan, Raghu, Hutter, Frank, Hoos, Holger, Lindauer, Marius, and Eimer, Theresa
Subjects: Computer Science - Machine Learning
Abstract: Hyperparameters are a critical factor in reliably training well-performing reinforcement learning (RL) agents. Unfortunately, developing and evaluating automated approaches for tuning such hyperparameters is both costly and time-consuming. As a result, such approaches are often only evaluated on a single domain or algorithm, making comparisons difficult and limiting insights into their generalizability. We propose ARLBench, a benchmark for hyperparameter optimization (HPO) in RL that allows comparisons of diverse HPO approaches while being highly efficient in evaluation. To enable research into HPO in RL, even in settings with low compute resources, we select a representative subset of HPO tasks spanning a variety of algorithm and environment combinations. This selection allows for generating a performance profile of an automated RL (AutoRL) method using only a fraction of the compute previously necessary, enabling a broader range of researchers to work on HPO in RL. With the extensive and large-scale dataset on hyperparameter landscapes that our selection is based on, ARLBench is an efficient, flexible, and future-oriented foundation for research on AutoRL. Both the benchmark and the dataset are available at https://github.com/automl/arlbench., Comment: Accepted at the 17th European Workshop on Reinforcement Learning

Abstract: A search for the very rare $B^{*0}\to\mu^+\mu^-$ and $B_{s}^{*0}\to\mu^+\mu^-$ decays is conducted by analysing the $B_c^+\to \pi^+\mu^+\mu^-$ process. The analysis uses proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector between 2011 and 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9$\text{\,fb}^{-1}$. The signal signatures correspond to simultaneous peaks in the $\mu^+\mu^-$ and $\pi^+\mu^+\mu^-$ invariant masses. No evidence for an excess of events over background is observed for either signal decay mode. Upper limits at the $90\%$ confidence level are set on the branching fractions relative to that for $B_c^+\to J\mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi\pi^+$ decays, \begin{align*} {\cal R}_{B^{*0}(\mu^+\mu^-)\pi^+/J\mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi\pi^+} &< 3.8\times 10^{-5}\ \text{ and } {\cal R}_{B_{s}^{*0}(\mu^+\mu^-)\pi^+/J\mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi\pi^+} &< 5.0\times 10^{-5}\,. \end{align*}, Comment: All figures and tables, along with machine-readable versions and any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lbfence.cern.ch/alcm/public/analysis/full-details/1796/ (LHCb public pages)

6. D2D Coded Caching from Two Classes of Optimal DPDAs using Cross Resolvable Designs

Author: T., Rashid Ummer N. and Rajan, B. Sundar
Subjects: Computer Science - Information Theory
Abstract: Coded caching in a wireless device-to-device (D2D) network was first studied by Ji \textit{et al.} in [4] (referred to as the JCM scheme). In a D2D network, a central server first places the data in the user cache memories and all the user's demands are served by inter-user coded multicast transmissions. Low subpacketization level D2D coded caching schemes are desirable for practical implementations. Wang \textit{et al.} in [7] proposed an array called D2D placement delivery array (DPDA) which characterizes the placement phase and the delivery phase in a D2D network. A lower bound on the transmission load of a DPDA is derived and only the JCM scheme achieves this lower bound, but requires a subpacketization level that grows exponentially with the number of users. Low subpacketization level D2D schemes can be obtained by constructing appropriate DPDAs. In this paper, we propose two new classes of DPDA constructions that give low subpacketization level D2D schemes using cross resolvable designs. The first class of constructed DPDA achieves the known lower bound on the transmission load of DPDA while requiring a subpacketization level lesser than that of the JCM scheme. We propose another lower bound on the transmission load of a DPDA and show that the second class of constructed DPDA achieves this lower bound., Comment: 9 pages, 3 tables and 7 figures

7. Avengers Assemble: Amalgamation of Non-Semantic Features for Depression Detection

Abstract: In this study, we address the challenge of depression detection from speech, focusing on the potential of non-semantic features (NSFs) to capture subtle markers of depression. While prior research has leveraged various features for this task, NSFs-extracted from pre-trained models (PTMs) designed for non-semantic tasks such as paralinguistic speech processing (TRILLsson), speaker recognition (x-vector), and emotion recognition (emoHuBERT)-have shown significant promise. However, the potential of combining these diverse features has not been fully explored. In this work, we demonstrate that the amalgamation of NSFs results in complementary behavior, leading to enhanced depression detection performance. Furthermore, to our end, we introduce a simple novel framework, FuSeR, designed to effectively combine these features. Our results show that FuSeR outperforms models utilizing individual NSFs as well as baseline fusion techniques and obtains state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance in E-DAIC benchmark with RMSE of 5.51 and MAE of 4.48, establishing it as a robust approach for depression detection., Comment: Submitted to ICASSP 2025

8. One-shot World Models Using a Transformer Trained on a Synthetic Prior

Author: Ferreira, Fabio, Schlageter, Moreno, Rajan, Raghu, Biedenkapp, Andre, and Hutter, Frank
Subjects: Computer Science - Machine Learning, Computer Science - Artificial Intelligence
Abstract: A World Model is a compressed spatial and temporal representation of a real world environment that allows one to train an agent or execute planning methods. However, world models are typically trained on observations from the real world environment, and they usually do not enable learning policies for other real environments. We propose One-Shot World Model (OSWM), a transformer world model that is learned in an in-context learning fashion from purely synthetic data sampled from a prior distribution. Our prior is composed of multiple randomly initialized neural networks, where each network models the dynamics of each state and reward dimension of a desired target environment. We adopt the supervised learning procedure of Prior-Fitted Networks by masking next-state and reward at random context positions and query OSWM to make probabilistic predictions based on the remaining transition context. During inference time, OSWM is able to quickly adapt to the dynamics of a simple grid world, as well as the CartPole gym and a custom control environment by providing 1k transition steps as context and is then able to successfully train environment-solving agent policies. However, transferring to more complex environments remains a challenge, currently. Despite these limitations, we see this work as an important stepping-stone in the pursuit of learning world models purely from synthetic data.

Abstract: The differential branching fraction and angular coefficients of \ensuremath{\it{\Lambda}^\mathrm{0}_b \rightarrow pK^-\mu^+\mu^-}\xspace decays are measured in bins of the dimuon mass squared and dihadron mass. The analysis is performed using a data set corresponding to 9$\aunit{fb}^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity collected with the $\mbox{LHCb}$ detector between 2011 and 2018. The data are consistent with receiving contributions from a mixture of $\it{\Lambda}$ resonances with different spin-parity quantum numbers. The angular coefficients show a pattern of vector--axial vector interference that is a characteristic of the type of flavour-changing neutral-current transition relevant for these decays., Comment: All figures and tables, along with machine-readable versions and any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/3264.html (LHCb public pages)

10. On the Stability of Consensus Control under Rotational Ambiguities

Author: Li, Zhonggang, Li, Changheng, and Rajan, Raj Thilak
Subjects: Electrical Engineering and Systems Science - Systems and Control
Abstract: Consensus control of multiagent systems arises in various robotic applications such as rendezvous and formation control. For example, to compute the control inputs of individual agents, the difference in the positions in aligned coordinate frames i.e., the pairwise displacements are typically measured. However, the local coordinate frames might be subject to rotational ambiguities, such as a rotation or a reflection, particularly if the positions of the agent are not directly observed but reconstructed from e.g. pairwise Euclidean distances. This rotational ambiguity causes stability issues in practice, as agents have rotated perceptions of the environment. In this work, we conduct a thorough analysis of the stability in the presence of rotational ambiguities in several scenarios including e.g., proper and improper rotation, and the homogeneity of rotations. We give stability criteria and stability margin on the rotations, which are numerically verified with two traditional examples of consensus control., Comment: This work has been submitted to the IEEE for possible publication.

Subjects: Physics - Computational Physics, Statistics - Computation
Abstract: In this paper we show how different sources of random numbers influence the outcomes of Monte Carlo simulations. We compare industry-standard pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs) to a quantum random number generator (QRNG) and show, using examples of Monte Carlo simulations with exact solutions, that the QRNG yields statistically significantly better approximations than the PRNGs. Our results demonstrate that higher accuracy can be achieved in the commonly known Monte Carlo method for approximating $\pi$. For Buffon's needle experiment, we further quantify a potential reduction in approximation errors by up to $1.89\times$ for optimal parameter choices when using a QRNG and a reduction of the sample size by $\sim 8\times$ for sub-optimal parameter choices. We attribute the observed higher accuracy to the underlying differences in the random sampling, where a uniformity analysis reveals a tendency of the QRNG to sample the solution space more homogeneously. Additionally, we compare the results obtained with the QRNG and PRNG in solving the non-linear stochastic Schr\"odinger equation, benchmarked against the analytical solution. We observe higher accuracy of the approximations of the QRNG and demonstrate that equivalent results can be achieved at 1/3 to 1/10-th of the costs.

12. MEDIC: Towards a Comprehensive Framework for Evaluating LLMs in Clinical Applications

Abstract: The rapid development of Large Language Models (LLMs) for healthcare applications has spurred calls for holistic evaluation beyond frequently-cited benchmarks like USMLE, to better reflect real-world performance. While real-world assessments are valuable indicators of utility, they often lag behind the pace of LLM evolution, likely rendering findings obsolete upon deployment. This temporal disconnect necessitates a comprehensive upfront evaluation that can guide model selection for specific clinical applications. We introduce MEDIC, a framework assessing LLMs across five critical dimensions of clinical competence: medical reasoning, ethics and bias, data and language understanding, in-context learning, and clinical safety. MEDIC features a novel cross-examination framework quantifying LLM performance across areas like coverage and hallucination detection, without requiring reference outputs. We apply MEDIC to evaluate LLMs on medical question-answering, safety, summarization, note generation, and other tasks. Our results show performance disparities across model sizes, baseline vs medically finetuned models, and have implications on model selection for applications requiring specific model strengths, such as low hallucination or lower cost of inference. MEDIC's multifaceted evaluation reveals these performance trade-offs, bridging the gap between theoretical capabilities and practical implementation in healthcare settings, ensuring that the most promising models are identified and adapted for diverse healthcare applications., Comment: Technical report

Abstract: The ${{\Xi}_{b}^{0(-)}\to{\Xi}_{c}(3055)^{+(0)}(\to D^{+(0)}{\Lambda}){\pi}^{-}}$ decay chains are observed, and the spin-parity of ${\Xi}_{c}(3055)^{+(0)}$ baryons is determined for the first time. The measurement is performed using proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=13\,\text{TeV}$, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $5.4\,\text{fb}^{-1}$, recorded by the~$\text{LHCb}$ experiment between 2016 and 2018. The spin-parity of the ${\Xi}_{c}(3055)^{+(0)}$ baryons is determined to be $3/2^{+}$ with a significance of more than $6.5\sigma$ ($3.5\sigma$) compared to all other tested hypotheses. The up-down asymmetries of the ${{\Xi}_{b}^{0(-)}\to{\Xi}_{c}(3055)^{+(0)}{\pi}^{-}}$ transitions are measured to be $-0.92\pm0.10\pm0.05$ ($-0.92\pm0.16\pm0.22$), consistent with maximal parity violation, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. These results support the hypothesis that the ${\Xi}_{c}(3055)^{+(0)}$ baryons correspond to the first $D$-wave $\lambda$-mode excitation of the ${\Xi}_{c}$ flavor triplet., Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lbfence.cern.ch/alcm/public/analysis/full-details/1603 (LHCb public pages)

Abstract: Achieving superior polymeric components through additive manufacturing (AM) relies on precise control of rheology. One key rheological property particularly relevant to AM is melt viscosity ($\eta$). Melt viscosity is influenced by polymer chemistry, molecular weight ($M_w$), polydispersity, induced shear rate ($\dot\gamma$), and processing temperature ($T$). The relationship of $\eta$ with $M_w$, $\dot\gamma$, and $T$ may be captured by parameterized equations. Several physical experiments are required to fit the parameters, so predicting $\eta$ of a new polymer material in unexplored physical domains is a laborious process. Here, we develop a Physics-Enforced Neural Network (PENN) model that predicts the empirical parameters and encodes the parametrized equations to calculate $\eta$ as a function of polymer chemistry, $M_w$, polydispersity, $\dot\gamma$, and $T$. We benchmark our PENN against physics-unaware Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) models. Finally, we demonstrate that the PENN offers superior values of $\eta$ when extrapolating to unseen values of $M_w$, $\dot\gamma$, and $T$ for sparsely seen polymers.

Abstract: A time-dependent, flavour-tagged measurement of $CP$ violation is performed with ${B^0}\rightarrow{D^{+}D^{-}}$ and ${B^{0}_{s}}\rightarrow{D^{+}_{s}D^{-}_{s}}$ decays, using data collected by the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6 fb$^{-1}$. In ${B^0}\rightarrow{D^{+}D^{-}}$ decays the $CP$-violation parameters are measured to be \begin{align} S_{D^{+}D^{-}} & = -0.552 \pm 0.100\,\text{(stat)} \pm 0.010\,\text{(syst)}, \nonumber \newline C_{D^{+}D^{-}} & = \phantom{-}0.128 \pm0.103\,\text{(stat)} \pm 0.010\,\text{(syst)}. \nonumber \end{align} In $B^{0}_{s} \rightarrow D^{+}_{s}D^{-}_{s}$ decays the $CP$-violating parameter formulation in terms of $\phi_{s}$ and $|\lambda|$ results in \begin{align} \phi_{s} & = -0.086 \pm 0.106 \,\text{(stat)} \pm 0.028\,\text{(syst)} \,\text{rad}, \nonumber \newline |\lambda_{D^{+}_{s}D^{-}_{s}}| & = \phantom{-}1.145 \pm 0.126\,\text{(stat)} \pm 0.031\,\text{(syst)}. \nonumber \end{align} These results represent the most precise single measurement of the $CP$-violation parameters in their respective channels. For the first time in a single measurement, $CP$ symmetry is observed to be violated in ${B^0}\rightarrow{D^{+}D^{-}}$ decays with a significance exceeding six standard deviations., Comment: All figures and tables, along with machine-readable versions and any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lbfence.cern.ch/alcm/public/analysis/full-details/3262/ (LHCb public pages)

Abstract: A comprehensive study of the angular distributions in the bottom-baryon decays $\it{\Lambda}^\mathrm{0}_b\to\it{\Lambda}_c^+ h^-(h=\pi, K)$, followed by $\it{\Lambda}_c^+\to\it{\Lambda} h^+$ with $\it{\Lambda}\to \it{p} \pi^-$ or $\it{\Lambda}_c^+\to\it{p}\it{K}^0_\mathrm{S}$ decays, is performed using a data sample of proton-proton collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 $\mathrm{Te\kern -0.1em V}$. The decay parameters and the associated charge-parity ($C\!P$) asymmetries are measured, with no significant $C\!P$ violation observed. For the first time, the $\it{\Lambda}^\mathrm{0}_b \to \it{\Lambda}_c^+ h^-$ decay parameters are measured. The most precise measurements of the decay parameters $\alpha, \beta$ and $\gamma$ are obtained for $\it{\Lambda}_c^+$ decays and an independent measurement of the decay parameters for the strange-baryon $\it{\Lambda}$ decay is provided. The results deepen our understanding of weak decay dynamics in baryon decays., Comment: All figures and tables, along with machine-readable versions and any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/LHCb-PAPER-2024-017.html(LHCb public pages)

Abstract: A search for violation of the charge-parity $C\!P$ symmetry in the $D^+\rightarrow K^-K^+\pi^+$ decay is presented, with proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb$^{-1}$, collected at a center-of-mass energy of $13$ TeV with the LHCb detector. A novel model-independent technique is used to compare the $D^+$ and $D^-$ phase-space distributions, with instrumental asymmetries subtracted using the $D^+_{s}\rightarrow K^-K^+\pi^+$ decay as a control channel. The $p$-value for the hypothesis of $C\!P$ conservation is $8.1\%$. The $C\!P$ asymmetry observables $A_{C\!P|S}^{\phi\pi^+} = (0.95 \pm 0.43_{stat} \pm 0.26_{syst})\times 10^{-3}$ and $A_{C\!P|S}^{\overline{K}^{*0}K^+} = (-0.26 \pm 0.56_{ stat} \pm 0.18_{syst})\times 10^{-3}$ are also measured. These results show no evidence of $C\!P$ violation and represent the most sensitive search performed through the phase space of a multibody decay., Comment: All figures and tables, along with machine-readable versions and any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lbfence.cern.ch/alcm/public/analysis/full-details/1616 (LHCb public pages)

Abstract: The way we engage with digital spaces and the digital world has undergone rapid changes in recent years, largely due to the emergence of the Metaverse. As technology continues to advance, the demand for sophisticated and immersive interfaces to interact with the Metaverse has become increasingly crucial. Haptic interfaces have been developed to meet this need and provide users with tactile feedback and realistic touch sensations. These interfaces play a vital role in creating a more authentic and immersive experience within the Metaverse. This article introduces the concept of MetaDigiHuman, a groundbreaking framework that combines blended digital humans and haptic interfaces. By harnessing cutting-edge technologies, MetaDigiHuman enables seamless and immersive interaction within the Metaverse. Through this framework, users can simulate the sensation of touching, feeling, and interacting with digital beings as if they were physically present in the environments, offering a more compelling and immersive experience within the Metaverse., Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures

19. From ferromagnetic semiconductor to anti-ferromagnetic metal in epitaxial Cr$_x$Te$_y$ monolayers

Abstract: Chromium ditelluride, CrTe$_2$, is an attractive candidate van der Waals material for hosting 2D magnetism. However, how the room-temperature ferromagnetism of the bulk evolves as the sample is thinned to the single-layer limit has proved controversial. This, in part, reflects its metastable nature, vs. a series of more stable self-intercalation compounds with higher relative Cr:Te stoichiometry. Here, exploiting a recently-developed method for enhancing nucleation in molecular beam epitaxy growth of transition-metal chalcogenides, we demonstrate the selective stabilisation of high-coverage CrTe$_2$ and Cr$_{2+\varepsilon}$Te$_3$ epitaxial monolayers. Combining X-ray magnetic circular dichroism, scanning tunnelling microscopy, and temperature-dependent angle-resolved photoemission, we demonstrate that both compounds order magnetically with a similar Tc. We find, however, that monolayer CrTe$_2$ forms as an anti-ferromagnetic metal, while monolayer Cr$_{2+\varepsilon}$Te$_3$ hosts an intrinsic ferromagnetic semiconducting state. This work thus demonstrates that control over the self-intercalation of metastable Cr-based chalcogenides provides a powerful route for tuning both their metallicity and magnetic structure, establishing the Cr-Te system as a flexible materials class for future 2D spintronics.

Abstract: Heat transfer between graphene and water is pivotal for various applications, including solarthermal vapor generation and the advanced manufacturing of graphene-based hierarchical structures in solution. In this study, we employ a deep-neural network potential derived from ab initio molecular dynamics to conduct extensive simulations of single-layer graphenewater systems with different levels of oxidation (carbon/oxygen ratio) of the graphene layer. Remarkably, our findings reveal a one-order-of-magnitude enhancement in heat transfer upon oxidizing graphene with hydroxyl or epoxide groups at the graphene surface, underscoring the significant tunability of heat transfer within this system. Given the same oxidation ratio, more dispersed locations of functional groups on graphene surface leads to faster heat dissipation to water., Comment: 21 pages, 8 figures

Abstract: The rare electromagnetic $J/\psi \to \mu^+\mu^-\mu^+\mu^-$ decay is observed with a significance greatly exceeding the discovery threshold, using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment during 2016-2018 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $5.4\,\text{fb}^{-1}$. The rate of this decay is measured relative to that of the $J/\psi \to \mu^+\mu^-$ mode. Using the QED model for the four-muon decay in the efficiency estimation, its branching fraction is determined to be \begin{equation*} {\mathcal{B}}(J/\psi \to \mu^+\mu^-\mu^+\mu^-) = (1.13\pm0.10\pm0.05\pm0.01)\times 10^{-6}, \end{equation*} where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic and due to the uncertainty on the branching fraction of the $J/\psi \to \mu^+\mu^-$ decay., Comment: All figures and tables, along with machine-readable versions and any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lbfence.cern.ch/alcm/public/analysis/full-details/3453 (LHCb public pages)

22. Kinematic Varieties for Massless Particles

Author: Rajan, Smita, Sverrisdóttir, Svala, and Sturmfels, Bernd
Subjects: Mathematics - Algebraic Geometry, High Energy Physics - Theory
Abstract: We study algebraic varieties that encode the kinematic data for $n$ massless particles in $d$-dimensional spacetime subject to momentum conservation. Their coordinates are spinor brackets, which we derive from the Clifford algebra associated to the Lorentz group. This was proposed for $d=5$ in the recent physics literature. Our kinematic varieties are given by polynomial constraints on tensors with both symmetric and skew symmetric slices., Comment: 19 pages

23. muPRL: A Mutation Testing Pipeline for Deep Reinforcement Learning based on Real Faults

Author: Thomas, Deepak-George, Biagiola, Matteo, Humbatova, Nargiz, Wardat, Mohammad, Jahangirova, Gunel, Rajan, Hridesh, and Tonella, Paolo
Subjects: Computer Science - Software Engineering
Abstract: Reinforcement Learning (RL) is increasingly adopted to train agents that can deal with complex sequential tasks, such as driving an autonomous vehicle or controlling a humanoid robot. Correspondingly, novel approaches are needed to ensure that RL agents have been tested adequately before going to production. Among them, mutation testing is quite promising, especially under the assumption that the injected faults (mutations) mimic the real ones. In this paper, we first describe a taxonomy of real RL faults obtained by repository mining. Then, we present the mutation operators derived from such real faults and implemented in the tool muPRL. Finally, we discuss the experimental results, showing that muPRL is effective at discriminating strong from weak test generators, hence providing useful feedback to developers about the adequacy of the generated test scenarios., Comment: Accepted at ICSE '25

24. Selective-injection GaN Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors with 275 kA/cm$^2$ Current Density

Author: Xia, Zhanbo, Joishi, Chandan, Sohel, Shahadat H., Xie, Andy, Beam, Edward, Cao, Yu, and Rajan, Siddharth
Subjects: Physics - Applied Physics
Abstract: We design and demonstrate selective injection GaN heterojunction bipolar transistors that utilize a patterned base for selective injection of electrons from the emitter. The design maneuvers minority carrier injection through a thin p-GaN base region, while the majority carrier holes for base current are injected from thick p-GaN regions adjacent to the thin p-GaN base. The design is realized using a regrowth emitter approach with SiO$_2$ as a spacer between the emitter layer and the thick p-GaN base contact regions. The fabricated device demonstrated state-of-art output current density (I$_{C, max}$) ~275 kA/cm$^2$ with a current gain ($\beta$) of 9, and 17 for the planar HBT design (I$_{C, max}$ =150 kA/cm$^2$). The reported results highlight the potential of the selective injection design to overcome the persistent GaN HBT design tradeoff between base resistance and current gain, paving the way for next-generation radio frequency and mm-Wave applications.

25. Cyclic Wrap-Around Multi-Access Coded Caching with Private Caches

Author: Singh, Dhruv Pratap, Mahesh, Anjana A., and Rajan, B. Sundar
Subjects: Computer Science - Information Theory
Abstract: We consider a variant of the coded caching problem where users connect to two types of caches, called private caches and access caches. The problem setting consists of a server having a library of files and a set of access caches. Every user, equipped with a private cache, connects to $L$ neighboring access caches in a cyclic wrap-around fashion. The server populates the private and access caches with file contents in either coded or uncoded format. For this setting, we derive a lower bound on the optimal worst-case transmission rate using cut-set arguments. This lower bound applies to both coded and uncoded placements. We then provide an achievable scheme with uncoded placement and show that our scheme specializes to the well-known Maddah-Ali-Niesen scheme for the dedicated cache network in the absence of access caches. Finally, we show that the proposed scheme achieves optimality in large memory regimes and provide numerical plots comparing the rate of the proposed scheme with the derived lower bound, demonstrating the optimality of our scheme., Comment: 15 pages, 5 figures and one table.

27. Identifying the Relationship between Strength of School Social Support and Level of Hope in Children from Low-Income Families

Author: Samuel Rajan David, Daniel J. Wen, and Esther C. L. Goh
Abstract: Background: Poverty's impact on children's academic outcome is a cause for concern in most urban Asian cities as education is viewed as one of the main channels of social mobility. Few studies examined how poor children's hope could be enhanced through school social support. Objective: This paper examines how children from low-income families' perceived frequencies and importance of social support from teachers and classmates, influence their levels of hope in academic achievement. Method: Utilizing a partially-mixed sequential design--first, with survey data from a larger study on low-income children (n = 513), this paper explores if perceived frequency of social support is associated with level of hope as well as the role of perceived importance in moderating the frequencies of school social support on sense of hope; second, to enrich the child-reported results, two in-depth focus group discussions with elementary school teachers (n = 10) were conducted. Results: Statistical analysis reveals that the frequency of social support from teachers and classmates is associated with the level of hope in low-income children. Furthermore, when teacher's support was rated important by children, there was a positive association between social support and hope. Integrating statistical results and qualitative insights, this paper extends extant literature on social support typologies with a novel category; 'support in providing opportunities for success'. Conclusion: This paper underscores the important role schools play as a source of social support for children. Such social support aids higher hope levels in low-income children which could translate into better academic outcomes.

Abstract: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a severe, post-infectious sequela of SARS-CoV-2 infection1,2, yet the pathophysiological mechanism connecting the infection to the broad inflammatory syndrome remains unknown. Here we leveraged a large set of samples from patients with MIS-C to identify a distinct set of host proteins targeted by patient autoantibodies including a particular autoreactive epitope within SNX8, a protein involved in regulating an antiviral pathway associated with MIS-C pathogenesis. In parallel, we also probed antibody responses from patients with MIS-C to the complete SARS-CoV-2 proteome and found enriched reactivity against a distinct domain of the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein. The immunogenic regions of the viral nucleocapsid and host SNX8 proteins bear remarkable sequence similarity. Consequently, we found that many children with anti-SNX8 autoantibodies also have cross-reactive T cells engaging both the SNX8 and the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein epitopes. Together, these findings suggest that patients with MIS-C develop a characteristic immune response to the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein that is associated with cross-reactivity to the self-protein SNX8, demonstrating a mechanistic link between the infection and the inflammatory syndrome, with implications for better understanding a range of post-infectious autoinflammatory diseases.

29. Heads Up eXperience (HUX): Always-On AI Companion for Human Computer Environment Interaction

Author: K, Sukanth, Rajan, Sudhiksha Kandavel, S, Rajashekhar V, and Prabhakar, Gowdham
Subjects: Computer Science - Human-Computer Interaction, Computer Science - Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science - Emerging Technologies
Abstract: While current personal smart devices excel in digital domains, they fall short in assisting users during human environment interaction. This paper proposes Heads Up eXperience (HUX), an AI system designed to bridge this gap, serving as a constant companion across the extended reality (XR) environments. By tracking the user's eye gaze, analyzing the surrounding environment, and interpreting verbal contexts, the system captures and enhances multi-modal data, providing holistic context interpretation and memory storage in real-time task specific situations. This comprehensive approach enables more natural, empathetic and intelligent interactions between the user and HUX AI, paving the path for human computer environment interaction. Intended for deployment in smart glasses and extended reality headsets, HUX AI aims to become a personal and useful AI companion for daily life. By integrating digital assistance with enhanced physical world interactions, this technology has the potential to revolutionize human-AI collaboration in both personal and professional spheres paving the way for the future of personal smart devices., Comment: 48 pages, 16 figures

Author: Muduli, Manisha, Xia, Yongkang, Lee, Seunghyun, Gajowski, Nathan, Chae, Chris, Rajan, Siddharth, Hwang, Jinwoo, Arafin, Shamsul, and Krishna, Sanjay
Subjects: Physics - Applied Physics, Condensed Matter - Materials Science
Abstract: There is increased interest in the heterogeneous integration of various compound semiconductors with Si for a variety of electronic and photonic applications. This paper focuses on integrating GaAsSb (with absorption in the C-band at 1550nm) with silicon to fabricate photodiodes, leveraging epitaxial layer transfer (ELT) methods. Two ELT techniques, epitaxial lift-off (ELO) and macro-transfer printing (MTP), are compared for transferring GaAsSb films from InP substrates to Si, forming PIN diodes. Characterization through atomic force microscopy (AFM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) exhibits a high-quality, defect-free interface. Current-voltage (IV) measurements and capacitance-voltage (CV) analysis validate the quality and functionality of the heterostructures. Photocurrent measurements at room temperature and 200 K demonstrate the device's photo-response at 1550 nm, highlighting the presence of an active interface., Comment: 14 pages, 5 figures, Pages 15-16 supplementary information

31. Framework for Adoption of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in Education

Author: Shailendra, Samar, Kadel, Rajan, and Sharma, Aakanksha
Subjects: Computer Science - Computers and Society, Computer Science - Human-Computer Interaction
Abstract: Contributions: An adoption framework to include GenAI in the university curriculum. It identifies and highlights the role of different stakeholders (university management, students, staff, etc.) during the adoption process. It also proposes an objective approach based upon an evaluation matrix to assess the success and outcome of the GenAI adoption. Background: Universities worldwide are debating and struggling with the adoption of GenAI in their curriculum. Both the faculty and students are unsure about the approach in the absence of clear guidelines through the administration and regulators. This requires an established framework to define a process and articulate the roles and responsibilities of each stakeholder involved. Research Questions: Whether the academic ecosystem requires a methodology to adopt GenAI into its curriculum? A systematic approach for the academic staff to ensure the students' learning outcomes are met with the adoption of GenAI. How to measure and communicate the adoption of GenAI in the university setup? Methodology: The methodology employed in this study focuses on examining the university education system and assessing the opportunities and challenges related to incorporating GenAI in teaching and learning. Additionally, it identifies a gap and the absence of a comprehensive framework that obstructs the effective integration of GenAI within the academic environment. Findings: The literature survey results indicate the limited or no adoption of GenAI by the university, which further reflects the dilemma in the minds of different stakeholders. For the successful adoption of GenAI, a standard framework is proposed i) for effective redesign of the course curriculum, ii) for enabling staff and students, iii) to define an evaluation matrix to measure the effectiveness and success of the adoption process.

Abstract: The first full amplitude analysis of $B^+ \to \psi(2S) K^+ \pi^+ \pi^-$ decays is performed using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9\,\text{fb}^{-1}$ recorded with the LHCb detector. The rich $K^+ \pi^+ \pi^-$ spectrum is studied and the branching fractions of the resonant substructure associated with the prominent $K_1(1270)^+$ contribution are measured. The data cannot be described by conventional strange and charmonium resonances only. An amplitude model with 53 components is developed comprising 11 hidden-charm exotic hadrons. New production mechanisms for charged charmonium-like states are observed. Significant resonant activity with spin-parity $J^P = 1^+$ in the $\psi(2S) \pi^+$ system is confirmed and a multi-pole structure is demonstrated. The spectral decomposition of the $\psi(2S) \pi^+ \pi^-$ invariant-mass structure, dominated by $X^0 \to \psi(2S) \rho(770)^0$ decays, broadly resembles the $J/\psi \phi$ spectrum observed in $B^+ \to J/\psi \phi K^+$ decays. Exotic $\psi(2S) K^+ \pi^-$ resonances are observed for the first time., Comment: All figures and tables, along with machine-readable versions and any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/LHCb-PAPER-2024-014.html (LHCb public pages)

Abstract: We present results from a search for X-ray/gamma-ray counterparts of gravitational-wave (GW) candidates from the third observing run (O3) of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) network using the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (Swift-BAT). The search includes 636 GW candidates received in low latency, 86 of which have been confirmed by the offline analysis and included in the third cumulative Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalogs (GWTC-3). Targeted searches were carried out on the entire GW sample using the maximum--likelihood NITRATES pipeline on the BAT data made available via the GUANO infrastructure. We do not detect any significant electromagnetic emission that is temporally and spatially coincident with any of the GW candidates. We report flux upper limits in the 15-350 keV band as a function of sky position for all the catalog candidates. For GW candidates where the Swift-BAT false alarm rate is less than 10$^{-3}$ Hz, we compute the GW--BAT joint false alarm rate. Finally, the derived Swift-BAT upper limits are used to infer constraints on the putative electromagnetic emission associated with binary black hole mergers., Comment: 50 pages, 10 figures, 4 tables

34. Robust Affine Formation Control of Multiagent Systems

Author: Li, Zhonggang and Rajan, Raj Thilak
Subjects: Electrical Engineering and Systems Science - Signal Processing, Electrical Engineering and Systems Science - Systems and Control
Abstract: Affine formation control is a subset of formation control methods, which has gained increasing popularity for its flexibility and maneuverability in diverse applications. Affine formation control is inherently distributed in nature, where the local controllers onboard each agent are linearly dependent on the relative position measurements of the neighboring agents. The unavailability of these measurements in practice, due to node failure or missing links, leads to a change in the underlying graph topology, and subsequently causes instability and sub-optimal performance. In this paper, we propose an estimation framework to enhance the robustness of distributed affine formation control systems against these topology changes. Our estimation framework features an adaptive fusion of both temporal information from the dynamics of agents and spatial information which is derived from the geometry of the affine formations. We propose a suite of algorithms under this framework to tackle various practical scenarios, and numerically verify our proposed estimator on stability, convergence rate, and optimality criterion. Simulations show the performance of our proposed algorithms as compared to the state-of-the-art methods, and we summarize them with future research directions.

Abstract: In this work, we systematically expose and measure the inconsistency and knowledge gaps of Large Language Models (LLMs). Specifically, we propose an automated testing framework (called KONTEST) which leverages a knowledge graph to construct test cases. KONTEST probes and measures the inconsistencies in the LLM's knowledge of the world via a combination of semantically-equivalent queries and test oracles (metamorphic or ontological oracle). KONTEST further mitigates knowledge gaps via a weighted LLM model ensemble. Using four state-of-the-art LLMs (Falcon, Gemini, GPT3.5, and Llama2), we show that KONTEST generates 19.2% error inducing inputs (1917 errors from 9983 test inputs). It also reveals a 16.5% knowledge gap across all tested LLMs. KONTEST's mitigation method reduces LLM knowledge gap by 32.48%. Our ablation study further shows that GPT3.5 is not suitable for knowledge-based consistency testing because it is only 60%-68% effective in knowledge construction., Comment: 14 pages, 6 figures, 14 tables, Submitted to ACL ARR (June 2024)

36. {\mu}-Bench: A Vision-Language Benchmark for Microscopy Understanding

Subjects: Computer Science - Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, Computer Science - Artificial Intelligence
Abstract: Recent advances in microscopy have enabled the rapid generation of terabytes of image data in cell biology and biomedical research. Vision-language models (VLMs) offer a promising solution for large-scale biological image analysis, enhancing researchers' efficiency, identifying new image biomarkers, and accelerating hypothesis generation and scientific discovery. However, there is a lack of standardized, diverse, and large-scale vision-language benchmarks to evaluate VLMs' perception and cognition capabilities in biological image understanding. To address this gap, we introduce {\mu}-Bench, an expert-curated benchmark encompassing 22 biomedical tasks across various scientific disciplines (biology, pathology), microscopy modalities (electron, fluorescence, light), scales (subcellular, cellular, tissue), and organisms in both normal and abnormal states. We evaluate state-of-the-art biomedical, pathology, and general VLMs on {\mu}-Bench and find that: i) current models struggle on all categories, even for basic tasks such as distinguishing microscopy modalities; ii) current specialist models fine-tuned on biomedical data often perform worse than generalist models; iii) fine-tuning in specific microscopy domains can cause catastrophic forgetting, eroding prior biomedical knowledge encoded in their base model. iv) weight interpolation between fine-tuned and pre-trained models offers one solution to forgetting and improves general performance across biomedical tasks. We release {\mu}-Bench under a permissive license to accelerate the research and development of microscopy foundation models.

37. Combinatorial Multi-Access Coded Caching with Private Caches

Author: Singh, Dhruv Pratap, Mahesh, Anjana A., and Rajan, B. Sundar
Subjects: Computer Science - Information Theory
Abstract: We consider a variant of the coded caching problem where users connect to two types of caches, called private and access caches. The problem setting consists of a server with a library of files and a set of access caches. Each user, equipped with a private cache, connects to a distinct $r-$subset of the access caches. The server populates both types of caches with files in uncoded format. For this setting, we provide an achievable scheme and derive a lower bound on the number of transmissions for this scheme. We also present a lower and upper bound for the optimal worst-case rate under uncoded placement for this setting using the rates of the Maddah-Ali--Niesen scheme for dedicated and combinatorial multi-access coded caching settings, respectively. Further, we derive a lower bound on the optimal worst-case rate for any general placement policy using cut-set arguments. We also provide numerical plots comparing the rate of the proposed achievability scheme with the above bounds, from which it can be observed that the proposed scheme approaches the lower bound when the amount of memory accessed by a user is large. Finally, we discuss the optimality w.r.t worst-case rate when the system has four access caches., Comment: 13 pages and 6 figures

Abstract: The radiative decays $\chi_{c1}(3872)\rightarrow\psi(2S)\gamma$ and $\chi_{c1}(3872)\rightarrow J/\psi\gamma$ are used to probe the~nature of the~$\chi_{c1}(3872)$ state using proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector, corresponding to an~integrated luminosity of~9fb$^{-1}$. Using the~$B^+\rightarrow \chi_{c1}(3872)K^+$decay, the $\chi_{c1}(3872)\rightarrow \psi(2S)\gamma$ process is observed for the first time and the ratio of its partial width to that of the $\chi_{c1}(3872)\rightarrow J/\psi\gamma$ decay is measured to be $$ \frac{\Gamma_{\chi_{c1}(3872)\rightarrow \psi(2S)\gamma}} {\Gamma_{\chi_{c1}(3872)\rightarrow J/\psi\gamma}} = 1.67 \pm 0.21 \pm 0.12 \pm0.04 , $$ where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the third is due to the uncertainties on the branching fractions of the $\psi(2S)$ and $J/\psi$ mesons. The measured ratio makes the interpretation of the $\chi_{c1}(3872)$ state as a~pure $D^0\bar{D}^{*0}+\bar{D}^0D^{*0}$ molecule questionable and strongly indicates a sizeable compact charmonium or tetraquark component within the $\chi_{c1}(3872)$ state., Comment: 31 pages, 2 figures.

39. Wireless MapReduce Arrays for Coded Distributed Computing

Author: Peter, Elizabath, Namboodiri, K. K. Krishnan, and Rajan, B. Sundar
Subjects: Computer Science - Information Theory, Computer Science - Distributed, Parallel, and Cluster Computing
Abstract: We consider a wireless distributed computing system based on the MapReduce framework, which consists of three phases: \textit{Map}, \textit{Shuffle}, and \textit{Reduce}. The system consists of a set of distributed nodes assigned to compute arbitrary output functions depending on a file library. The computation of the output functions is decomposed into Map and Reduce functions, and the Shuffle phase, which involves the data exchange, links the two. In our model, the Shuffle phase communication happens over a full-duplex wireless interference channel. For this setting, a coded wireless MapReduce distributed computing scheme exists in the literature, achieving optimal performance under one-shot linear schemes. However, the scheme requires the number of input files to be very large, growing exponentially with the number of nodes. We present schemes that require the number of files to be in the order of the number of nodes and achieve the same performance as the existing scheme. The schemes are obtained by designing a structure called wireless MapReduce array that succinctly represents all three phases in a single array. The wireless MapReduce arrays can also be obtained from the extended placement delivery arrays known for multi-antenna coded caching schemes., Comment: Communicated to 2024 IEEE Information Theory Workshop (ITW'24), Shenzhen, China

40. Scaling and evaluating sparse autoencoders

Author: Gao, Leo, la Tour, Tom Dupré, Tillman, Henk, Goh, Gabriel, Troll, Rajan, Radford, Alec, Sutskever, Ilya, Leike, Jan, and Wu, Jeffrey
Subjects: Computer Science - Machine Learning, Computer Science - Artificial Intelligence
Abstract: Sparse autoencoders provide a promising unsupervised approach for extracting interpretable features from a language model by reconstructing activations from a sparse bottleneck layer. Since language models learn many concepts, autoencoders need to be very large to recover all relevant features. However, studying the properties of autoencoder scaling is difficult due to the need to balance reconstruction and sparsity objectives and the presence of dead latents. We propose using k-sparse autoencoders [Makhzani and Frey, 2013] to directly control sparsity, simplifying tuning and improving the reconstruction-sparsity frontier. Additionally, we find modifications that result in few dead latents, even at the largest scales we tried. Using these techniques, we find clean scaling laws with respect to autoencoder size and sparsity. We also introduce several new metrics for evaluating feature quality based on the recovery of hypothesized features, the explainability of activation patterns, and the sparsity of downstream effects. These metrics all generally improve with autoencoder size. To demonstrate the scalability of our approach, we train a 16 million latent autoencoder on GPT-4 activations for 40 billion tokens. We release training code and autoencoders for open-source models, as well as a visualizer.

41. Explainable Attribute-Based Speaker Verification

Author: Wu, Xiaoliang, Luu, Chau, Bell, Peter, and Rajan, Ajitha
Subjects: Computer Science - Sound, Computer Science - Artificial Intelligence, Electrical Engineering and Systems Science - Audio and Speech Processing
Abstract: This paper proposes a fully explainable approach to speaker verification (SV), a task that fundamentally relies on individual speaker characteristics. The opaque use of speaker attributes in current SV systems raises concerns of trust. Addressing this, we propose an attribute-based explainable SV system that identifies speakers by comparing personal attributes such as gender, nationality, and age extracted automatically from voice recordings. We believe this approach better aligns with human reasoning, making it more understandable than traditional methods. Evaluated on the Voxceleb1 test set, the best performance of our system is comparable with the ground truth established when using all correct attributes, proving its efficacy. Whilst our approach sacrifices some performance compared to non-explainable methods, we believe that it moves us closer to the goal of transparent, interpretable AI and lays the groundwork for future enhancements through attribute expansion.

42. Augmented Conversation with Embedded Speech-Driven On-the-Fly Referencing in AR

Author: Jadon, Shivesh, Faridan, Mehrad, Mah, Edward, Vaish, Rajan, Willett, Wesley, and Suzuki, Ryo
Subjects: Computer Science - Human-Computer Interaction, Computer Science - Machine Learning
Abstract: This paper introduces the concept of augmented conversation, which aims to support co-located in-person conversations via embedded speech-driven on-the-fly referencing in augmented reality (AR). Today computing technologies like smartphones allow quick access to a variety of references during the conversation. However, these tools often create distractions, reducing eye contact and forcing users to focus their attention on phone screens and manually enter keywords to access relevant information. In contrast, AR-based on-the-fly referencing provides relevant visual references in real-time, based on keywords extracted automatically from the spoken conversation. By embedding these visual references in AR around the conversation partner, augmented conversation reduces distraction and friction, allowing users to maintain eye contact and supporting more natural social interactions. To demonstrate this concept, we developed \system, a Hololens-based interface that leverages real-time speech recognition, natural language processing and gaze-based interactions for on-the-fly embedded visual referencing. In this paper, we explore the design space of visual referencing for conversations, and describe our our implementation -- building on seven design guidelines identified through a user-centered design process. An initial user study confirms that our system decreases distraction and friction in conversations compared to smartphone searches, while providing highly useful and relevant information.

43. RAPF: Efficient path planning for lunar microrovers

Author: Manteaux, Thomas, Rodríguez-Martínez, David, and Rajan, Raj Thilak
Subjects: Computer Science - Robotics
Abstract: Efficient path planning is key for safe autonomous navigation over complex and unknown terrains. Lunar Zebro (LZ), a project of the Delft University of Technology, aims to deploy a compact rover, no larger than an A4 sheet of paper and weighing not more than 3 kilograms. In this work, we introduce a Robust Artificial Potential Field (RAPF) algorithm, a new path-planning algorithm for reliable local navigation solution for lunar microrovers. RAPF leverages and improves state of the art Artificial Potential Field (APF)-based methods by incorporating the position of the robot in the generation of bacteria points and considering local minima as regions to avoid. We perform both simulations and on field experiments to validate the performance of RAPF, which outperforms state-of-the-art APF-based algorithms by over 15% in reachability within a similar or shorter planning time. The improvements resulted in a 200% higher success rate and 50% lower computing time compared to the conventional APF algorithm. Near-optimal paths are computed in real-time with limited available processing power. The bacterial approach of the RAPF algorithm proves faster to execute and smaller to store than path planning algorithms used in existing planetary rovers, showcasing its potential for reliable lunar exploration with computationally constrained and energy constrained robotic systems., Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures, paper accepted at the International Conference on Space Robotics (iSpaRo) 2024

44. Hierarchical Coded Caching with Low Subpacketization and Coding Delay

Author: T., Rashid Ummer N. and Rajan, B. Sundar
Subjects: Computer Science - Information Theory
Abstract: Coded caching scheme originally proposed by Maddah-Ali and Niesen (MN) considered a broadcast network consisting of a single server connected to a set of users each having a cache memory. Motivated by practical scenarios, Karamchandani \textit{et al.} in [16] proposed a coded caching scheme for a two-layer hierarchical network consisting of a single server connected to multiple mirror sites and each mirror site connected to a distinct set of users, in which both mirror sites and users having cache memories. Low subpacketization level coded caching schemes are desirable for practical implementations. Placement delivery array (PDA) was proposed as a tool to design coded caching schemes with reduced subpacketization level by Yan \textit{et al.} in [4]. Schemes with reduced subpacketization levels are studied extensively in the literature for single-layer networks. Kong \textit{et al.} in [17] proposed a structure called hierarchical placement delivery arrays (HPDA), which characterizes a hierarchical coded caching system and also proposed a class of HPDAs that gives low subpacketization level schemes by using two PDAs. Low subpacketization level hierarchical schemes using combinatorial $t$-designs is proposed in [20]. Apart from that there is no other existing work that discusses the subpacketization problem in a hierarchical network. This paper proposes a class of HPDA construction that gives low subpacketization level hierarchical coded caching schemes, by first constructing a new class of PDAs. Compared with the existing schemes, in cases where the system parameters and subpacketization level are the same, the proposed hierarchical scheme has a better coding delay. Further, the new class of PDAs constructed either subsumes several known PDA constructions or achieves better transmission load for the same system parameters., Comment: Added Section IV - (performance analysis of proposed HPDA construction). The term 'coding delay' is formally defined (page no. 5). 14 pages, 10 figures and 9 tables

45. MTLComb: multi-task learning combining regression and classification tasks for joint feature selection

Author: Cao, Han, Rajan, Sivanesan, Hahn, Bianka, Kocak, Ersoy, Durstewitz, Daniel, Schwarz, Emanuel, and Schneider-Lindner, Verena

Abstract: Multi-task learning (MTL) is a learning paradigm that enables the simultaneous training of multiple communicating algorithms. Although MTL has been successfully applied to ether regression or classification tasks alone, incorporating mixed types of tasks into a unified MTL framework remains challenging, primarily due to variations in the magnitudes of losses associated with different tasks. This challenge, particularly evident in MTL applications with joint feature selection, often results in biased selections. To overcome this obstacle, we propose a provable loss weighting scheme that analytically determines the optimal weights for balancing regression and classification tasks. This scheme significantly mitigates the otherwise biased feature selection. Building upon this scheme, we introduce MTLComb, an MTL algorithm and software package encompassing optimization procedures, training protocols, and hyperparameter estimation procedures. MTLComb is designed for learning shared predictors among tasks of mixed types. To showcase the efficacy of MTLComb, we conduct tests on both simulated data and biomedical studies pertaining to sepsis and schizophrenia., Comment: 33 pages, 3 figures, 5 tables

46. QMedShield: A Novel Quantum Chaos-based Image Encryption Scheme for Secure Medical Image Storage in the Cloud

Author: Rajan, Arun Amaithi and V, Vetriselvi
Subjects: Computer Science - Cryptography and Security, Computer Science - Multimedia
Abstract: In the age of digital technology, medical images play a crucial role in the healthcare industry which aids surgeons in making precise decisions and reducing the diagnosis time. However, the storage of large amounts of these images in third-party cloud services raises privacy and security concerns. There are a lot of classical security mechanisms to protect them. Although, the advent of quantum computing entails the development of quantum-based encryption models for healthcare. Hence, we introduce a novel quantum chaos-based encryption scheme for medical images in this article. The model comprises bit-plane scrambling, quantum logistic map, quantum operations in the diffusion phase and hybrid chaotic map, DNA encoding, and computations in the confusion phase to transform the plain medical image into a cipher medical image. The proposed scheme has been evaluated using multiple statistical measures and validated against more attacks such as differential attacks with three different medical datasets. Hence the introduced encryption model has proved to be attack-resistant and robust than other existing image encryption schemes, ensuring the secure storage of medical images in cloud environments., Comment: 20 pages, 17 Figures, 9 Tables

47. Five-dimensional spinor helicity for all masses and spins

Author: Pokraka, Andrzej, Rajan, Smita, Ren, Lecheng, Volovich, Anastasia, and Zhao, W. Wayne
Subjects: High Energy Physics - Theory
Abstract: We develop a spinor helicity formalism for five-dimensional scattering amplitudes of any mass and spin configuration. While five-dimensional spinor helicity variables have been previously studied in the context of N=2,4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills scattering amplitudes with spin less than two arXiv:2202.08257, we propose an alternative viewpoint that stems from d-dimensional spinor helicity variables avoiding the use of the exceptional low-dimensional isomorphism $SO(4,1) \cong USp(2,2)$ and the decomposition of a massive momentum into the sum of two massless momenta. By enumerating all possible independent little group tensors, we systematically build the full space of five-dimensional three-point tree-level scattering amplitudes for any configuration of spins and masses. Furthermore, we provide a prescription for computing the high energy limit of scattering amplitudes written in our spinor helicity variables. We also expect that our formalism will be applicable to effective field theories with higher spin, in particular, the scattering of highly spinning black holes in five dimensions., Comment: 29 pages, 3 figures

Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly essential in processing natural languages, yet their application is frequently compromised by biases and inaccuracies originating in their training data. In this study, we introduce Cross-Care, the first benchmark framework dedicated to assessing biases and real world knowledge in LLMs, specifically focusing on the representation of disease prevalence across diverse demographic groups. We systematically evaluate how demographic biases embedded in pre-training corpora like $ThePile$ influence the outputs of LLMs. We expose and quantify discrepancies by juxtaposing these biases against actual disease prevalences in various U.S. demographic groups. Our results highlight substantial misalignment between LLM representation of disease prevalence and real disease prevalence rates across demographic subgroups, indicating a pronounced risk of bias propagation and a lack of real-world grounding for medical applications of LLMs. Furthermore, we observe that various alignment methods minimally resolve inconsistencies in the models' representation of disease prevalence across different languages. For further exploration and analysis, we make all data and a data visualization tool available at: www.crosscare.net., Comment: Submitted for review, data visualization tool available at: www.crosscare.net

49. WISER: Weak supervISion and supErvised Representation learning to improve drug response prediction in cancer

Author: Shubham, Kumar, Jayagopal, Aishwarya, Danish, Syed Mohammed, AP, Prathosh, and Rajan, Vaibhav

Abstract: Cancer, a leading cause of death globally, occurs due to genomic changes and manifests heterogeneously across patients. To advance research on personalized treatment strategies, the effectiveness of various drugs on cells derived from cancers (`cell lines') is experimentally determined in laboratory settings. Nevertheless, variations in the distribution of genomic data and drug responses between cell lines and humans arise due to biological and environmental differences. Moreover, while genomic profiles of many cancer patients are readily available, the scarcity of corresponding drug response data limits the ability to train machine learning models that can predict drug response in patients effectively. Recent cancer drug response prediction methods have largely followed the paradigm of unsupervised domain-invariant representation learning followed by a downstream drug response classification step. Introducing supervision in both stages is challenging due to heterogeneous patient response to drugs and limited drug response data. This paper addresses these challenges through a novel representation learning method in the first phase and weak supervision in the second. Experimental results on real patient data demonstrate the efficacy of our method (WISER) over state-of-the-art alternatives on predicting personalized drug response., Comment: ICML 2024

50. Placement Delivery Arrays for Coded Caching with Shared and Private Caches

Author: Namboodiri, K. K. Krishnan, Peter, Elizabath, and Rajan, B. Sundar
Subjects: Computer Science - Information Theory
Abstract: We consider a coded caching network consisting of a server with a library of $N$ files connected to $K$ users, where each user is equipped with a dedicated cache of size $M_p$ units. In addition to that, the network consists of $\Lambda\leq K$ helper caches, each with a size $M_h$ units. Each helper cache can serve an arbitrary number of users; however, each user can access only a single helper cache. Also, we assume that the server knows the user-to-helper cache association, defined as the sets of users connected to each helper cache, during the cache placement phase. We propose a solution for the aforementioned coded caching problem by introducing a combinatorial structure called a Shared and Private Placement Delivery Array (SP-PDA). These SP-PDAs describe the helper cache placement, private cache placement, and the server transmissions in a single array. Further, we propose a novel construction of SP-PDAs using two Placement Delivery Arrays (PDAs). Interestingly, we observe that the permutations of the columns of the two chosen PDAs result in SP-PDAs with different performances. Moreover, we characterize the conditions for selecting the best column permutations of the chosen PDAs. Furthermore, the coded caching schemes resulting from SP-PDAs subsume two existing coded caching schemes as special cases. Additionally, SP-PDAs enable the construction of coded caching schemes with much smaller subpacketization numbers -subpacketization number is defined as the number of subfiles to which a file is divided- compared to the existing schemes, without paying much in terms of rate (the size of the transmission in the delivery phase)., Comment: A shorter version is accepted for presentation in ISIT 2024. 11 pages, 4 figures
