1. The Three Generation Neighborhood.

Author: Perkins and Will, Architects, Chicago, IL. and Brubaker, Charles William
Abstract: The neighborhood, whether reestablished in the city or in a new town, at its best avoids not only racial and income segregation, but also age segregation. Since the three-generation family within a single dwelling no longer is likely, the neighborhood should be restored to accommodate all generations. This study explores how the concept of neighborhood can be reestablished and how it can become a three-generation neighborhood. (Author/MLF)

2. A Study of the Results of a Program of Continuing Education for Protestant Clergy.

Author: Institute for Advanced Pastoral Studies, Bloomfield Hills, MI. and Stewart, Charles W.
Abstract: Data on the program of The Institute for Advanced Pastoral Studies were gathered through content analysis of 100 unsolicited letters from conferees, analysis of before and after questionnaires used with a conference and a control groups and given to four spring conferences in 1964, and analysis of the Theological Studies Inventory used before the 1964 spring conference and four months later. It was concluded that temporary changes in role perception and behavior as a result of conference attendance may enable a minister to change in his relationship with laymen from a prima donna or laisez-faire style of leadership to one of "coach-player," changes varying somewhat with age and greatly with denomination. An orientation course can guide the conferee to learn certain principles and sensitize him to his mistakes in preaching, group counseling, or administration, but for lasting learning, additional training and work with laymen outside the church are needed. Parish ministers do a great deal of attitudinal and perceptual learning in a short, intensive experience, but there is need for follow up conferences six months to a year later.

3. The Time Trap: Why It's Misguided to Report State Assessment Results as 'Years of Learning'

Author: National Center for the Improvement of Educational Assessment, Inc. (NCIEA), Damian Betebenner, and Charles A. DePascale
Abstract: In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, educators and policymakers have scrambled to assess the impact on student learning. Popular metrics that have gained traction are the notions of "years of learning lost" or "months behind," which attempt to quantify the educational setbacks caused by the pandemic. The allure of these time-based metrics is understandable; they provide a seemingly straightforward way to communicate the magnitude of learning loss to non-technical audiences. But beneath their simplicity lies a complex web of assumptions, statistical manipulations, and, ultimately, misleading conclusions that may do more harm than good. This paper delves into the flaws of time-based metrics and argues for a more meaningful approach to measuring student progress. It challenges the assumption that more time automatically equates to more learning and advocates for assessments that provide richer, content-based insights into student abilities and needs. By critically examining the current narrative, the paper seeks to inspire educators and policymakers to reconsider how we measure and respond to educational challenges in a post-pandemic world.

4. Double-target BEC atomtronic rotation sensor

Author: Adeniji, Oluwatobi, Henry, Charles, Thomas, Stephen, Sapp, Robert Colson, Goyal, Anish, Clark, Charles W., and Edwards, Mark
Subjects: Condensed Matter - Quantum Gases, Quantum Physics
Abstract: We present a proof-of-concept design for an atomtronic rotation sensor consisting of an array of ``double-target'' Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). A ``target'' BEC is a disk-shaped condensate surrounded by a concentric ring-shaped condensate. A ``double-target'' BEC is two adjacent target BECs whose ring condensates partially overlap. The sensor consists of an $n\times m$ array of these double-target BECs. The measurement of the frame rotation speed, $\Omega_{R}$, is carried out by creating the array of double-target BECs (setup step), inducing one unit of quantized flow in the top ring of each member of the array (initialization step), applying potential barriers in the overlap region of each member (measurement step), and observing whether the induced flow is transferred from the top to the bottom ring in each member (readout step). We describe a set of simulations showing that a single instance of a double-target BEC behaves in a way that enables the efficient operation of an $n\times m$ array for measuring $\Omega_{R}$. As an example of sensor operation we present a simulation showing that a 2$\times$2 array can be designed to measure $\Omega_{R}$ in a user-specified range., Comment: 13 pages, 10 figures

Abstract: One of the most challenging problems in the computational study of localization in quantum manybody systems is to capture the effects of rare events, which requires sampling over exponentially many disorder realizations. We implement an efficient procedure on a quantum processor, leveraging quantum parallelism, to efficiently sample over all disorder realizations. We observe localization without disorder in quantum many-body dynamics in one and two dimensions: perturbations do not diffuse even though both the generator of evolution and the initial states are fully translationally invariant. The disorder strength as well as its density can be readily tuned using the initial state. Furthermore, we demonstrate the versatility of our platform by measuring Renyi entropies. Our method could also be extended to higher moments of the physical observables and disorder learning.

6. A general machine learning model of aluminosilicate melt viscosity and its application to the surface properties of dry lava planets

Author: Losq, Charles Le, Ferraina, Clément, Sossi, Paolo A., and Boukaré, Charles-Édouard

Abstract: Ultra-short-period exoplanets like K2-141 b likely have magma oceans on their dayside, which play a critical role in redistributing heat within the planet. This could lead to a warm nightside surface, measurable by the James Webb Space Telescope, offering insights into the planet's structure. Accurate models of properties like viscosity, which can vary by orders of magnitude, are essential for such studies. We present a new model for predicting molten magma viscosity, applicable in diverse scenarios, including magma oceans on lava planets. Using a database of 28,898 viscosity measurements on phospho-alumino-silicate melts, spanning superliquidus to undercooled temperatures and pressures up to 30 GPa, we trained a greybox artificial neural network, refined by a Gaussian process. This model achieves high predictive accuracy (RMSE $\approx 0.4 \log_{10}$ Pa$\cdot$s) and can handle compositions from SiO$_2$ to multicomponent magmatic and industrial glasses, accounting for pressure effects up to 30 GPa for compositions such as peridotite. Applying this model, we calculated the viscosity of K2-141 b's magma ocean under different compositions. Phase diagram calculations suggest that the dayside is fully molten, with extreme temperatures primarily controlling viscosity. A tenuous atmosphere (0.1 bar) might exist around a 40{\deg} radius from the substellar point. At higher longitudes, atmospheric pressure drops, and by 90{\deg}, magma viscosity rapidly increases as solidification occurs. The nightside surface is likely solid, but previously estimated surface temperatures above 400 K imply a partly molten mantle, feeding geothermal flux through vertical convection., Comment: 19 pages, 9 figures, 2 tables

7. Breaking the Cycle of Racial Wealth Inequities and Higher Education Outcomes: How Data-Driven Insights Can Inform Policy Solutions That Address the Racial Wealth Gap

Author: Institute for Higher Education Policy (IHEP), Charles Sanchez, Eleanor Eckerson Peters, Diane Cheng, and Sean Tierney
Abstract: For decades, assessing income has served as the tried-and-true method for creating financial aid packages--scholarships, grants, and loans--for the nation's college students. Each year, students and families living with low and moderate incomes submit income documentation to colleges, states, and the federal government in hopes of qualifying for financial aid to defray college costs. But what if a student's wealth status revealed more about their ability to cover college costs than their income did? Income is an important measure, but it provides only a snapshot of the full resources available to students and their families. Wealth, too, impacts a student's access and ability to pay for college as well as their chances of graduating and turning career aspirations into a well-paying job and fulfilling life. Examining income alone masks deep and persistent inequities in wealth by race or ethnicity. This gap, which is rooted in generations of discrimination and systemic barriers to opportunity, affects the college dreams of countless people, particularly those from historically marginalized communities. Limitations in available data mean researchers and policymakers know relatively little about how wealth impacts higher education, with far more attention focused on understanding and addressing the effects of income. This paper seeks to address that missing piece by exploring the impact of wealth on students' experiences in higher education and how these experiences, in turn, influence wealth-building.

8. Linking Caregiving Quality during Infancy to Brain Activity in Early Childhood and Later Executive Function

Author: Mark Wade, Victoria Parker, Alva Tang, Nathan A. Fox, Charles H. Zeanah, and Charles A. Nelson
Abstract: There is no relationship more vital than the one a child shares with their primary caregivers early in development. Yet many children worldwide are raised in settings that lack the warmth, connection, and stimulation provided by a responsive primary caregiver. In this study, we used data from the Bucharest Early Intervention Project (BEIP), a longitudinal study of institutionally-reared and family-reared children, to test how caregiving quality during infancy is associated with average EEG power over the first 3.5 years of life in alpha, beta, and theta frequency bands, and associations with later executive function (EF) at age 8 years. The sample comprised 189 children (129 institutionally-reared; 60 family-reared) who contributed data on observed caregiving quality during infancy (baseline; average age of 22 months), resting EEG power at baseline, 30, and 42 months, and performance-based data on a series of EF tasks at 8 years. Using Bayesian estimation, observed caregiving quality at baseline was marginally linked with higher average alpha and beta power, and lower theta power, from baseline to 42 months. In turn, higher average beta power and lower average theta power were marginally associated with higher EF at 8 years. In indirect effects models, higher caregiving quality at baseline was associated with higher EF at 8 years, with a marginal indirect effect through average theta power from baseline to 42 months. Variation in the quality of the early caregiving environment may be associated with later executive function, which is partially underpinned by individual differences in brain activity during early childhood.

Abstract: By age 40 years, over 90% of adults with Down syndrome have Alzheimer's disease pathology and most progress to dementia. Despite having few systemic vascular risk factors, individuals with Down syndrome have elevated cerebrovascular disease markers that track with the clinical progression of Alzheimer's disease, suggesting a role of cerebrovascular disease that is hypothesized to be mediated by inflammatory factors. This study examined the pathways through which small vessel cerebrovascular disease contributes to Alzheimer's disease-related pathophysiology and neurodegeneration in adults with Down syndrome. One hundred eighty-five participants from the Alzheimer's Biomarkers Consortium-Down Syndrome [mean (SD) age = 45.2 (9.3) years] with available MRI and plasma biomarker data were included in this study. White matter hyperintensity (WMH) volumes were derived from T2-weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery MRI scans, and plasma biomarker concentrations of amyloid beta 42/40, phosphorylated tau 217, astrocytosis (glial fibrillary acidic protein) and neurodegeneration (neurofilament light chain) were measured with ultrasensitive immunoassays. We examined the bivariate relationships of WMH, amyloid beta 42/40, phosphorylated tau 217 and glial fibrillary acidic protein with age-residualized neurofilament light chain across Alzheimer's disease diagnostic groups. A series of mediation and path analyses examined statistical pathways linking WMH and Alzheimer's disease pathophysiology to promote neurodegeneration in the total sample and groups stratified by clinical diagnosis. There was a direct and indirect bidirectional effect through the glial fibrillary acidic protein of WMH on phosphorylated tau 217 concentration, which was associated with neurofilament light chain concentration in the entire sample. Amongst cognitively stable participants, WMH was directly and indirectly, through glial fibrillary acidic protein, associated with phosphorylated tau 217 concentration, and in those with mild cognitive impairment, there was a direct effect of WMH on phosphorylated tau 217 and neurofilament light chain concentrations. There were no associations of WMH with biomarker concentrations among those diagnosed with dementia. The findings from this cross-sectional study suggest that among individuals with Down syndrome, cerebrovascular disease promotes neurodegeneration by increasing astrocytosis and tau pathophysiology in the presymptomatic phases of Alzheimer's disease, but future studies will need to confirm these associations with longitudinal data. This work joins an emerging literature that implicates cerebrovascular disease and its interface with neuroinflammation as a core pathological feature of Alzheimer's disease in adults with Down syndrome.

10. GRB$\,$220831A: a hostless, intermediate Gamma-ray burst with an unusual optical afterglow

Abstract: GRB$\,$220831A is a gamma-ray burst (GRB) with a duration and spectral peak energy that places it at the interface between the distribution of long-soft and short-hard GRBs. In this paper, we present the multi-wavelength follow-up campaign to GRB$\,$220831A and its optical, near-infrared, X-ray and radio counterparts. Our deep optical and near-infrared observations do not reveal an underlying host galaxy, and establish that GRB$\,$220831A is observationally hostless to depth, $m_i\gtrsim26.6$ AB mag. Based on the Amati relation and the non-detection of an accompanying supernova, we find that this GRB is most likely to have originated from a collapsar at $z>2$, but it could also possibly be a compact object merger at $z<0.4$ with a large separation distance from its host galaxy. Regardless of its origin, we show that its optical and near-infrared counterpart departs from the evolution expected from a forward shock dominated synchrotron afterglow, exhibiting a steep post-break temporal powerlaw index of $-3.83^{+0.62}_{-0.79}$, too steep to be the jet-break. By analysing a range of models, we find that the observed steep departure from forward shock closure relations is likely due to an internal process producing either a flare or a plateau., Comment: 17 pages, 14 figures, 7 tables, submitted to MNRAS

Abstract: The power of quantum random number generation is more than just the ability to create truly random numbers$\unicode{x2013}$it can also enable self-testing, which allows the user to verify the implementation integrity of certain critical quantum components with minimal assumptions. In this work, we develop and implement a self-testing quantum random number generator (QRNG) chipset capable of generating 15.33 Mbits of certifiable randomness in each run (an expansion rate of $5.11\times 10^{-4}$ at a repetition rate of 10 Mhz). The chip design is based on a highly loss-and-noise tolerant measurement-device-independent protocol, where random coherent states encoded using quadrature phase shift keying are used to self-test the quantum homodyne detection unit: well-known to be challenging to characterise in practice. Importantly, this proposal opens up the possibility to implement miniaturised self-testing QRNG devices at production scale using standard silicon photonics foundry platforms., Comment: 15 Pages, 5 Figures, and 2 Tables

13. Twins in K{\'a}hler and Sasaki geometry

Subjects: Mathematics - Differential Geometry
Abstract: We introduce the notions of weighted extremal K{\"a}hler twins together with the related notion of extremal Sasaki twins. In the K\"ahler setting this leads to a generalization of the twinning phenomenon appearing among LeBrun's strongly Hermitian solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell equations on the first Hirzebruch surface \cite{Leb16} to weighted extremal metrics on Hirzebruch surfaces in general. We discover that many twins appear and that this can be viewed in the Sasaki setting as a case where we have more than one extremal ray in the Sasaki cone even when we do not allow changes within the isotopy class. We also study extremal Sasaki twins directly in the Sasaki setting with a main focus on the toric Sasaki case., Comment: 35 pages, 3 figures

Subjects: Condensed Matter - Superconductivity, Condensed Matter - Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics
Abstract: In optical diffraction, the phase difference between sources in a grating or multi-slit mask is determined by the angle to the imaging screen, yielding the familiar multi-lobed diffraction image. Here, we realize a similar phenomenon in a superconductor-semiconductor hybrid circuit configured to allow Andreev scattering from multiple parallel scatterers. Phase differences between scatterers are set by tapping off of a remote superconducting meander. We investigate arrays with two, three, four, and ten Andreev scatterers, examining local and nonlocal diffraction patterns, finding good agreement with a theory of multiple Andreev scattering. Adding current-carrying taps to the meander allows individual phase control.

15. Compute Optimal Inference and Provable Amortisation Gap in Sparse Autoencoders

Author: O'Neill, Charles and Klindt, David
Subjects: Computer Science - Machine Learning
Abstract: A recent line of work has shown promise in using sparse autoencoders (SAEs) to uncover interpretable features in neural network representations. However, the simple linear-nonlinear encoding mechanism in SAEs limits their ability to perform accurate sparse inference. In this paper, we investigate sparse inference and learning in SAEs through the lens of sparse coding. Specifically, we show that SAEs perform amortised sparse inference with a computationally restricted encoder and, using compressed sensing theory, we prove that this mapping is inherently insufficient for accurate sparse inference, even in solvable cases. Building on this theory, we empirically explore conditions where more sophisticated sparse inference methods outperform traditional SAE encoders. Our key contribution is the decoupling of the encoding and decoding processes, which allows for a comparison of various sparse encoding strategies. We evaluate these strategies on two dimensions: alignment with true underlying sparse features and correct inference of sparse codes, while also accounting for computational costs during training and inference. Our results reveal that substantial performance gains can be achieved with minimal increases in compute cost. We demonstrate that this generalises to SAEs applied to large language models (LLMs), where advanced encoders achieve similar interpretability. This work opens new avenues for understanding neural network representations and offers important implications for improving the tools we use to analyse the activations of large language models.

Abstract: We present the in-lab and on-sky performance for the upgraded 90 GHz focal plane of the Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor (CLASS), which had four of its seven detector wafers updated during the austral winter of 2022. The update aimed to improve the transition-edge-sensor (TES) stability and bias range and to realize the high optical efficiency of the sensor design. Modifications included revised circuit terminations, electrical contact between the TES superconductor and the normal metal providing the bulk of the bolometer's heat capacity, and additional filtering on the TES bias lines. The upgrade was successful: 94% of detectors are stable down to 15% of the normal resistance, providing a wide overlapping range of bias voltages for all TESs on a wafer. The median telescope efficiency improved from $0.42^{+0.15}_{-0.22}$ to $0.60^{+0.10}_{-0.32}$ (68% quantiles). For the four upgraded wafers alone, median telescope efficiency increased to $0.65^{+0.06}_{-0.06}$. Given our efficiency estimate for the receiver optics, this telescope efficiency implies a detector efficiency exceeding $0.90$. The overall noise-equivalent temperature of the 90 GHz focal plane improved from 19 $\mu$K$\sqrt{s}$ to 11.3 $\mu$K$\sqrt{s}$., Comment: 18 pages, 10 figures.Submitted to ApJS

17. A Survey of General Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamic Models for Black Hole Accretion Systems

Author: Dhruv, Vedant, Prather, Ben, Wong, George, and Gammie, Charles F.
Subjects: Astrophysics - High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena
Abstract: General Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) simulations are an indispensable tool in studying accretion onto compact objects. The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) frequently uses libraries of ideal GRMHD simulations to interpret polarimetric, event-horizon-scale observations of supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies. In this work, we present a library of ten non-radiative, ideal GRMHD simulations that were utilized by the EHT Collaboration in their analysis of Sagittarius A*. The parameter survey explores both low (SANE) and high (MAD) magnetization states across five black hole spins $a_{*}=-15/16,-1/2,0,+1/2,+15/16$ where each simulation was run out to $30,000\hspace{0.1cm}\mathrm{GM/c}^{3}$. We find the angular momentum and energy flux in SANE simulations closely matches the thin-disk value, with minor deviations in prograde models due to fluid forces. This leads to spin equilibrium around $a_{*}\sim0.94$, consistent with previous studies. We study the flow of conserved quantities in our simulations and find mass, angular momentum, and energy transport in SANE accretion flows to be primarily inward and fluid-dominated. MAD models produce powerful jets with outflow efficiency $>1$ for $a_{*}=+0.94$, leading to black hole spin-down in prograde cases. We observe outward directed energy and angular momentum fluxes on the horizon, as expected for the Blandford-Znajek mechanism. MAD accretion flows are sub-Keplerian and exhibit greater variability than their SANE counterpart. They are also hotter than SANE disks within $r\lesssim 10\hspace{0.1cm}\mathrm{GM/c}^{2}$.

18. Characterising the molecular line emission in the asymmetric Oph-IRS 48 dust trap: Temperatures, timescales, and sub-thermal excitation

Abstract: The ongoing physical and chemical processes in planet-forming disks set the stage for planet formation. The asymmetric disk around the young star Oph-IRS 48 has one of the most well-characterised chemical inventories, showing molecular emission from a wide variety of species at the dust trap. One of the explanations for the asymmetric structure is dust trapping by a perturbation-induced vortex. We aim to constrain the excitation properties of the molecular species SO$_2$, CH$_3$OH, and H$_2$CO. We further characterise the extent of the molecular emission, through the determination of important physical and chemical timescales at the location of the dust trap. We also investigate whether the potential vortex can influence the observable temperature structure of the gas. Through a pixel-by-pixel rotational diagram analysis, we create rotational temperature and column density maps for SO$_2$ and CH$_3$OH, while temperature maps for H$_2$CO are created using line ratios. We find temperatures of $T\sim$55 K and $T\sim$125 K for SO$_2$ and CH$_3$OH, respectively, while the line ratios point towards temperatures of T$\sim$150-300 K for H$_2$CO. The rotational diagram of CH$_3$OH is dominated by scatter and subsequent non-LTE RADEX calculations suggest that both CH$_3$OH and H$_2$CO must be sub-thermally excited. The temperatures suggest that SO$_2$ comes from a layer deep in the disk, while CH$_3$OH and H$_2$CO originate from a higher layer. While a potential radial gradient is seen in the temperature map of SO$_2$, we do not find any hints of a vortex influencing the temperature structure. The determined turbulent mixing timescale is not able to explain the emitting heights of the molecules, but the photodissociation timescales are able to explain the wider azimuthal extents of SO$_2$ and H$_2$CO compared to CH$_3$OH, where a secondary, gas-phase formation reservoir is required for H$_2$CO., Comment: Accepted for publication in Astronomy and Astrophysics

19. Feature Selection for Network Intrusion Detection

Author: Westphal, Charles, Hailes, Stephen, and Musolesi, Mirco
Subjects: Computer Science - Machine Learning, Computer Science - Cryptography and Security
Abstract: Network Intrusion Detection (NID) remains a key area of research within the information security community, while also being relevant to Machine Learning (ML) practitioners. The latter generally aim to detect attacks using network features, which have been extracted from raw network data typically using dimensionality reduction methods, such as principal component analysis (PCA). However, PCA is not able to assess the relevance of features for the task at hand. Consequently, the features available are of varying quality, with some being entirely non-informative. From this, two major drawbacks arise. Firstly, trained and deployed models have to process large amounts of unnecessary data, therefore draining potentially costly resources. Secondly, the noise caused by the presence of irrelevant features can, in some cases, impede a model's ability to detect an attack. In order to deal with these challenges, we present Feature Selection for Network Intrusion Detection (FSNID) a novel information-theoretic method that facilitates the exclusion of non-informative features when detecting network intrusions. The proposed method is based on function approximation using a neural network, which enables a version of our approach that incorporates a recurrent layer. Consequently, this version uniquely enables the integration of temporal dependencies. Through an extensive set of experiments, we demonstrate that the proposed method selects a significantly reduced feature set, while maintaining NID performance. Code will be made available upon publication.

Abstract: The $C\!P$ asymmetry and branching fraction of the CKM-suppressed decay $B^+\!\to J\mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi\,\pi^+$ are precisely measured relative to the favoured decay $B^+\!\to J\mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi\,K^+$, using a sample of proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $5.4~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ recorded at center-of-mass energy of $13~\mathrm{TeV}$ during 2016--2018. The results of the $C\!P$ asymmetry difference and branching fraction ratio are \begin{align*} \Delta\mathcal{A}^{C\!P} &\equiv \mathcal{A}^{C\!P}(B^+ \to J\mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi\,\pi^+) - \mathcal{A}^{C\!P}(B^+ \to J\mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi\,K^+) = (1.29 \pm 0.49 \pm 0.08) \times 10^{-2}, \end{align*} \begin{equation*} \mathcal{R}_{\pi/K} \equiv \frac{\mathcal{B}(B^+ \!\to J\mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi\,\pi^+)}{\mathcal{B}(B^+ \!\to J\mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi\,K^+)} = (3.852 \pm 0.022 \pm 0.018) \times 10^{-2}. \end{equation*} where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. A combination with previous LHCb results based on data collected at $7$ and $8~\mathrm{TeV}$ in 2011 and 2012 yields $\Delta\mathcal{A}^{C\!P} = (1.42 \pm 0.43 \pm 0.08) \times 10^{-2}$ and $\mathcal{R}_{\pi/K} = (3.846 \pm 0.018 \pm 0.018) \times 10^{-2}$. The combined $\Delta\mathcal{A}^{C\!P}$ value deviates from zero by 3.2 standard deviations, providing the first evidence for direct $C\!P$ violation in the amplitudes of beauty decays to charmonium final states., Comment: 18 pages, 2 figures, no conference or journal information 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/1623/ (LHCb public pages)

21. A numerical method for scattering problems with unbounded interfaces

Abstract: We introduce a new class of computationally tractable scattering problems in unbounded domains, which we call decomposable problems. In these decomposable problems, the computational domain can be split into a finite collection of subdomains in which the scatterer has a "simple" structure. A subdomain is simple if the domain Green's function for this subdomain is either available analytically or can be computed numerically with arbitrary accuracy by a tractable method. These domain Green's functions are then used to reformulate the scattering problem as a system of boundary integral equations on the union of the subdomain boundaries. This reformulation gives a practical numerical method, as the resulting integral equations can then be solved, to any desired degree of accuracy, by using coordinate complexification over a finite interval, and standard discretization techniques.

Abstract: We report here on the workflow that we needed to develop in order to integrate the growing range of openly licensed, born-digital and, increasingly, machine actionable publications. Our developmental work focused upon textual data for Ancient Greek, Latin, Old English, Classical Arabic and Classical Persian but the challenges that we have had to address are relevant to sources in a wide range of languages, ancient and modern. Perseus 6 was designed to be a publishing workflow that organizes complementary data into an integrated reading environment. This document focuses on the ways in which we have organized the data and describes the current state of ATLAS (Aligned Text and Linguistic Annotation Server) architecture. While this is the sixth version of the Perseus Digital Library, Perseus 6 represents a major step beyond its predecessors. Where Perseus 5 (described below) can represent and integrate digital versions of print editions (e.g., critical editions with interactive textual notes, links to lexicon and commentary entries), Perseus 6 was designed to bring together an expandable range of born-digital classes of annotation. An online ATLAS server with some initial functionality is now online and public services will expand during the rest of 2024. Most of the ATLAS data is, however, now available on Github and that data will be the focus on this paper in its current version.

23. Estimating the Cost of Informal Care with a Novel Two-Stage Approach to Individual Synthetic Control

Subjects: Economics - General Economics, Statistics - Methodology
Abstract: Informal carers provide the majority of care for people living with challenges related to older age, long-term illness, or disability. However, the care they provide often results in a significant income penalty for carers, a factor largely overlooked in the economics literature and policy discourse. Leveraging data from the UK Household Longitudinal Study, this paper provides the first robust causal estimates of the caring income penalty using a novel individual synthetic control based method that accounts for unit-level heterogeneity in post-treatment trajectories over time. Our baseline estimates identify an average relative income gap of up to 45%, with an average decrease of {\pounds}162 in monthly income, peaking at {\pounds}192 per month after 4 years, based on the difference between informal carers providing the highest-intensity of care and their synthetic counterparts. We find that the income penalty is more pronounced for women than for men, and varies by ethnicity and age.

24. Chevalley Polytopes and Newton-Okounkov Bodies

Abstract: We construct a family of polytopes, which we call Chevalley polytopes, associated to homogeneous spaces $X=G/P$ in their projective embeddings $X\hookrightarrow \mathbb{P}(V_{\varpi})$ together with a choice of reduced expression for the minimal coset representative $w^P$ of $w_0$ in $W/W_P$. When $X$ is minuscule in its minimal embedding, we describe our construction in terms of order polytopes of minuscule posets and use the associated combinatorics to show that minuscule Chevalley polytopes are Newton-Okounkov bodies for $X$ and that the Pl\"ucker coordinates on $X$ form a Khovanskii basis for $\mathbb{C}[X]$. We conjecture similar properties for general $X$ and general embeddings $X\hookrightarrow\mathbb{P}(V_\varpi)$, along with a remarkable decomposition property which we consider as a polytopal shadow of the Littlewood-Richardson rule. We highlight a connection between Chevalley polytopes and string polytopes and give examples where Chevalley polytopes possess better combinatorial properties than string polytopes. We conclude with several examples further illustrating and supporting our conjectures., Comment: 24 pages

Subjects: Nuclear Experiment
Abstract: We propose to measure the beam normal single spin asymmetry in elastic scattering of transversely polarized electron from target nuclei with 12 $\leq Z \leq$ 90 at Q$^2$ = 0.0092 GeV$^2$ to study its nuclear dependence. While the theoretical calculations based on two-photon exchange suggest no nuclear dependence at this kinematics, the results of 208Pb from Jefferson Lab show a striking disagreement from both theoretical predictions and light nuclei measurements. The proposed measurements will provide new data for intermediate to heavy nuclei where no data exists for $Z \geq$ 20 in the kinematics of previous high-energy experiments. It will allow one to investigate the missing contributions that are not accounted in the current theoretical models., Comment: Submitted to Jefferson Lab PAC52

Abstract: An angular analysis of the $B_s^0 \rightarrow \phi e^+e^-$ decay is performed using the proton-proton collision dataset collected between 2011 and 2018 by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9\,{\rm fb}^{-1}$ at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and $13\,{\rm TeV}$. The analysis is performed in the very low dielectron invariant mass-squared region between $0.0009$ and $0.2615\,{\rm GeV}^2\!/c^4$. The longitudinal polarisation fraction of the $\phi$ meson is measured to be less than $11.5\%$ at $90\%$ confidence level. The $A_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathcal{R}e C\!P}$ observable, which is related to the lepton forward-backward asymmetry, is measured to be $0.116 \pm 0.155 \pm 0.006$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The transverse asymmetries, $A_{\mathrm{T}}^{(2)}$ and $A_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathcal{I}m C\!P}$ , which are sensitive to the virtual photon polarisation, are found to be $-0.045 \pm 0.235 \pm 0.014$ and $0.002 \pm 0.247 \pm 0.016$, respectively. The results are consistent with Standard Model predictions., Comment: 21 pages, 4 figures.

Abstract: While deep learning has revolutionized computer-aided drug discovery, the AI community has predominantly focused on model innovation and placed less emphasis on establishing best benchmarking practices. We posit that without a sound model evaluation framework, the AI community's efforts cannot reach their full potential, thereby slowing the progress and transfer of innovation into real-world drug discovery. Thus, in this paper, we seek to establish a new gold standard for small molecule drug discovery benchmarking, WelQrate. Specifically, our contributions are threefold: WelQrate Dataset Collection - we introduce a meticulously curated collection of 9 datasets spanning 5 therapeutic target classes. Our hierarchical curation pipelines, designed by drug discovery experts, go beyond the primary high-throughput screen by leveraging additional confirmatory and counter screens along with rigorous domain-driven preprocessing, such as Pan-Assay Interference Compounds (PAINS) filtering, to ensure the high-quality data in the datasets; WelQrate Evaluation Framework - we propose a standardized model evaluation framework considering high-quality datasets, featurization, 3D conformation generation, evaluation metrics, and data splits, which provides a reliable benchmarking for drug discovery experts conducting real-world virtual screening; Benchmarking - we evaluate model performance through various research questions using the WelQrate dataset collection, exploring the effects of different models, dataset quality, featurization methods, and data splitting strategies on the results. In summary, we recommend adopting our proposed WelQrate as the gold standard in small molecule drug discovery benchmarking. The WelQrate dataset collection, along with the curation codes, and experimental scripts are all publicly available at WelQrate.org., Comment: * denotes equal contribution

28. Post-Newtonian expansion of energy and angular momentum fluxes: inclined spherical orbits about a Kerr black hole

Author: Castillo, Jezreel C., Evans, Charles R., Kavanagh, Chris, Neef, Jakob, Ottewill, Adrian, and Wardell, Barry
Subjects: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology
Abstract: We present analytical expressions for the fluxes of energy and angular momentum from a point mass on an inclined spherical orbit about a Kerr black hole. The expressions are obtained using the method of Mano, Suzuki and Takasugi to construct analytical solutions of the Teukolsky equation, and are given as post-Newtonian expansions valid through 12PN, with arbitrary values for the inclination parameter $x$ and black hole spin $a$. We characterize the structure of the PN expansions in terms of their dependence on $x$ and $a$, and we validate our results against numerical calculations.

Abstract: Spectroscopy of Earth-like exoplanets and ultra-faint galaxies are priority science cases for the coming decades. Here, broadband source flux rates are measured in photons per square meter per hour, imposing extreme demands on detector performance, including dark currents lower than \mbox{1 e-/pixel/kilosecond}, read noise less than \mbox{1 e-/pixel/frame}, and large formats. There are currently no infrared detectors that meet these requirements. The University of Hawai'i and industrial partners are developing one promising technology, linear mode avalanche photodiodes (LmAPDs), which is on track to meet the above-mentioned requirements. We present progress towards developing a science-grade, megapixel format linear-mode avalanche photodiode array for low background shortwave (1 - 2.4 um) infrared astronomy. Our latest results show outstanding performance, with dark current \textless 1e-4 electrons/pixel/second and read noise reducing by 30\% per volt of bias, reaching less than 1e-/pixel/frame in correlated double-sampling, and able to average down to $\sim$0.3 e-/pixel/frame when using multiple non-destructive reads. We present some on-sky data as well as comment on prospects for photon number resolving capability., Comment: SPIE Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation 2024, PROC#13103-25. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2208.11834

Abstract: Metasurfaces -- ultrathin structures composed of subwavelength optical elements -- have revolutionized light manipulation by enabling precise control over electromagnetic waves' amplitude, phase, polarization, and spectral properties. Concurrently, computational imaging leverages algorithms to reconstruct images from optically processed signals, overcoming limitations of traditional imaging systems. This review explores the synergistic integration of metaoptics and computational imaging, "computational metaoptics," which combines the physical wavefront shaping ability of metasurfaces with advanced computational algorithms to enhance imaging performance beyond conventional limits. We discuss how computational metaoptics addresses the inherent limitations of single-layer metasurfaces in achieving multifunctionality without compromising efficiency. By treating metasurfaces as physical preconditioners and co-designing them with reconstruction algorithms through end-to-end (inverse) design, it is possible to jointly optimize the optical hardware and computational software. This holistic approach allows for the automatic discovery of optimal metasurface designs and reconstruction methods that significantly improve imaging capabilities. Advanced applications enabled by computational metaoptics are highlighted, including phase imaging and quantum state measurement, which benefit from the metasurfaces' ability to manipulate complex light fields and the computational algorithms' capacity to reconstruct high-dimensional information. We also examine performance evaluation challenges, emphasizing the need for new metrics that account for the combined optical and computational nature of these systems. Finally, we identify new frontiers in computational metaoptics which point toward a future where computational metaoptics may play a central role in advancing imaging science and technology.

32. Debiased machine learning for counterfactual survival functionals based on left-truncated right-censored data

Author: Morenz, Eric R., Wolock, Charles J., and Carone, Marco
Subjects: Statistics - Methodology, Mathematics - Statistics Theory
Abstract: Learning causal effects of a binary exposure on time-to-event endpoints can be challenging because survival times may be partially observed due to censoring and systematically biased due to truncation. In this work, we present debiased machine learning-based nonparametric estimators of the joint distribution of a counterfactual survival time and baseline covariates for use when the observed data are subject to covariate-dependent left truncation and right censoring and when baseline covariates suffice to deconfound the relationship between exposure and survival time. Our inferential procedures explicitly allow the integration of flexible machine learning tools for nuisance estimation, and enjoy certain robustness properties. The approach we propose can be directly used to make pointwise or uniform inference on smooth summaries of the joint counterfactual survival time and covariate distribution, and can be valuable even in the absence of interventions, when summaries of a marginal survival distribution are of interest. We showcase how our procedures can be used to learn a variety of inferential targets and illustrate their performance in simulation studies., Comment: The first two authors contributed equally to this work. 61 pages (36 main text, 25 supplement). 6 figures (6 main text, 0 supplement)

Abstract: We present a comprehensive set of harmonic resistance measurements of the dampinglike (DL) and fieldlike (FL) torques in Pt/CoFeB, Pt/Co, W/CoFeB, W/Co, and YIG/Pt bilayers complemented by measurements of the DL torque using the magneto-optical Kerr effect and calibrated by nitrogen vacancy magnetometry on the same devices. The magnon creation-annihilation magnetoresistances depend strongly on temperature and on the magnetic and transport properties of each bilayer, affecting the estimate of both the DL and FL torque. The DL torque, the most important parameter for applications, is overestimated by a factor of 2 in W/CoFeB and by one order of magnitude in YIG/Pt when not accounting for the magnonic contribution to the planar Hall resistance. We further show that the magnonic contribution can be quantified by combining measurements of the nonlinear longitudinal and transverse magnetoresistances, thus providing a reliable method to measure the spin-orbit torques in different material systems.

34. Nonlinear longitudinal and transverse magnetoresistances due to current-induced magnon creation-annihilation processes

Subjects: Condensed Matter - Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics
Abstract: Charge-spin conversion phenomena such as the spin Hall effect allow for the excitation of magnons in a magnetic layer by passing an electric current in an adjacent nonmagnetic conductor. We demonstrate that this current-induced modification of the magnon density generates an additional nonlinear longitudinal and transverse magnetoresistance for every magnetoresistance that depends on the magnetization. Using harmonic measurements, we evidence that these magnon creation-annihilation magnetoresistances dominate the second harmonic longitudinal and transverse resistance of thin Y$_{3}$Fe$_{5}$O$_{12}$/Pt bilayers. Our results apply to both insulating and metallic magnetic layers, elucidating the dependence of the magnetoresistance on applied current and magnetic field for a broad variety of systems excited by spin currents.

35. Transparent and Electrically Switchable Thin Film Tactile Actuators Based on Molecular Orientation

Author: Nolin, Abigail, Lo, Chun-Yuan, Kayser, Laure V., and Dhong, Charles B.
Subjects: Condensed Matter - Soft Condensed Matter, Physics - Applied Physics
Abstract: Most tactile actuators create tactile sensations through vibrations or the mechanical and electrochemical formation of bumps. However, tactile sensations of real objects arise from friction which is derived not only from physical topography, but also surface chemistry. Here, we show that molecular rearrangement can be leveraged to create new classes of tactile actuators based on the phases of liquid crystals embedded in a solid and transparent polymer film. We found that humans can feel differences by touch, especially between planar alignment and its disrupted phase, as actuated by a DC electrical field. In subjective terms, the sensation was described as a tacky to polished-like feeling. We attribute the mechanism of tactile contrast to microscale phase separation and changes in molecular orientation, as the nanoscale differences in topography are too small to be detected on their own by humans. This molecular rearrangement occurs quicker (<17 ms) than actuation through ionic or fluid movement. This enables a new class of tactile actuators based on molecular orientation (TAMO) for haptic interfaces.

36. Automatic dataset shift identification to support root cause analysis of AI performance drift

Author: Roschewitz, Mélanie, Mehta, Raghav, Jones, Charles, and Glocker, Ben
Subjects: Computer Science - Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science - Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
Abstract: Shifts in data distribution can substantially harm the performance of clinical AI models. Hence, various methods have been developed to detect the presence of such shifts at deployment time. However, root causes of dataset shifts are varied, and the choice of shift mitigation strategies is highly dependent on the precise type of shift encountered at test time. As such, detecting test-time dataset shift is not sufficient: precisely identifying which type of shift has occurred is critical. In this work, we propose the first unsupervised dataset shift identification framework, effectively distinguishing between prevalence shift (caused by a change in the label distribution), covariate shift (caused by a change in input characteristics) and mixed shifts (simultaneous prevalence and covariate shifts). We discuss the importance of self-supervised encoders for detecting subtle covariate shifts and propose a novel shift detector leveraging both self-supervised encoders and task model outputs for improved shift detection. We report promising results for the proposed shift identification framework across three different imaging modalities (chest radiography, digital mammography, and retinal fundus images) on five types of real-world dataset shifts, using four large publicly available datasets., Comment: Code available at https://github.com/biomedia-mira/shift_identification

Author: McKnight, Shaun, Tunukovic, Vedran, Hifi, Amine, Pierce, Gareth, Mohseni, Ehsan, MacLeod, Charles, and OHare, Tom
Subjects: Electrical Engineering and Systems Science - Signal Processing
Abstract: This study introduces a novel self-supervised learning approach for volumetric segmentation of defect indications captured by phased array ultrasonic testing data from Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRPs). By employing this self-supervised method, defect segmentation is achieved automatically without the need for labelled training data or examples of defects. The approach has been tested using artificially induced defects, including back-drilled holes and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) inserts, to mimic different defect responses. Additionally, it has been evaluated on stepped geometries with varying thickness, demonstrating impressive generalization across various test scenarios. Minimal preprocessing requirements are needed, with no removal of geometric features or Time-Compensated Gain (TCG) necessary for applying the methodology. The model's performance was evaluated for defect detection, in-plane and through-thickness localisation, as well as defect sizing. All defects were consistently detected with thresholding and different processing steps able to remove false positive indications for a 100% detection accuracy. Defect sizing aligns with the industrial standard 6 dB amplitude drop method, with a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 1.41 mm. In-plane and through-thickness localisation yielded comparable results, with MAEs of 0.37 and 0.26 mm, respectively. Visualisations are provided to illustrate how this approach can be utilised to generate digital twins of components., Comment: 20 pages

Abstract: We extend the methodology introduced by Jahandar et al. (2024) to determine the effective temperature and chemical abundances of 31 slowly-rotating solar neighborhood M dwarfs (M1-M5) using high-resolution spectra from CFHT/SPIRou. This group includes 10 M dwarfs in binary systems with FGK primaries of known metallicity from optical measurements. By testing our $T_{\rm eff}$ method on various synthetic models, we find a consistent inherent synthetic uncertainty of $\sim$10 K at a signal-to-noise ratio greater than 100. Additionally, we find that our results align with interferometric measurements, showing a consistent residual of $-$29 $\pm$ 31 K. Taking the inherent uncertainties into account, we infer the $T_{\rm eff}$ values of our targets and find an excellent agreement with previous optical and NIR studies. Our high-resolution chemical analysis examines hundreds of absorption lines using $\chi^2$ minimization using PHOENIX-ACES stellar atmosphere models. We present elemental abundances for up to 10 different elements, including refractory elements such as Si, Mg, and Fe, which are important for modelling the interior structure of exoplanets. In binary systems, we find an average [Fe/H] of $-$0.15 $\pm$ 0.08 for M dwarfs, marginally lower than the reported metallicity of $-$0.06 $\pm$ 0.18 for the FGK primaries from Mann et al. (2013a). We also observe slightly sub-solar chemistry for various elements in our non-binary M dwarfs, most notably for O, C, and K abundances. In particular, we find an average metallicity of $-$0.11 $\pm$ 0.16 lower but still consistent with the typical solar metallicity of FGK stars (e.g. [Fe/H] = 0.04 $\pm$ 0.20 from Brewer et al. 2016). This study highlights significant discrepancies in various major M dwarf surveys likely related to differences in the methodologies employed., Comment: 24 pages, 9 figures, accepted for publication in ApJ

39. Annotative Indexing

Author: Clarke, Charles L. A.
Subjects: Computer Science - Information Retrieval
Abstract: This paper introduces annotative indexing, a novel framework that unifies and generalizes traditional inverted indexes, column stores, object stores, and graph databases. As a result, annotative indexing can provide the underlying indexing framework for databases that support knowledge graphs, entity retrieval, semi-structured data, and ranked retrieval. While we primarily focus on human language data in the form of text, annotative indexing is sufficiently general to support a range of other datatypes, and we provide examples of SQL-like queries over a JSON store that includes numbers and dates. Taking advantage of the flexibility of annotative indexing, we also demonstrate a fully dynamic annotative index incorporating support for ACID properties of transactions with hundreds of multiple concurrent readers and writers., Comment: Code at https://github.com/claclark/Cottontail

Abstract: North Atlantic right whales are an endangered species; their entire population numbers approximately 372 individuals, and they are subject to major anthropogenic threats. They feed on zooplankton species whose distribution shifts in a dynamic and warming oceanic environment. Because right whales in turn follow their shifting food resource, it is necessary to jointly study the distribution of whales and their prey. The innovative joint species distribution modeling (JSDM) contribution here is different from anything in the large JDSM literature, reflecting the processes and data we have to work with. Specifically, our JSDM supplies a geostatistical model for expected amount of zooplankton collected at a site. We require a point pattern model for the intensity of right whale abundance. The two process models are joined through a latent conditional-marginal specification. Further, each species has two data sources to inform their respective distributions and these sources require novel data fusion. What emerges is a complex multi-level model. Through simulation we demonstrate the ability of our joint specification to identify model unknowns and learn better about the species distributions than modeling them individually. We then apply our modeling to real data from Cape Cod Bay, Massachusetts in the U.S.

41. The Footprint of Laminar Separation on a Wall-Bounded Wing Section at Transitional Reynolds Numbers

Subjects: Physics - Fluid Dynamics
Abstract: When a chordwise Reynolds number (Re) falls below about $10^5$ the performance of wings and aerodynamic sections become sensitive to viscous phenomena, including boundary layer separation and possible reattachment. Here, detailed measurements of the flow inside the boundary layer on the suction surface are shown for an aspect ratio 3 wing with wall boundaries. The separation lines and recirculation zones are shown on the wing and on the wall junction as Re and angle of incidence, ($\alpha$) are varied. There is good agreement on the lowest Re case which has also been computed in direct numerical simulation. Though the flow at midspan may sometimes be described as two-dimensional, at $\alpha \leq 6^\circ$ it is unrepresentative of the remainder of the wing, and the influence of the wall is seen in strong spanwise flows aft of the separation line. The geometry of the NACA 65(1)-412 section, used here, promotes a substantial chord length for the development of the recirculating regions behind separation making it apt for their study. However, the phenomena themselves are likely to be found over a wide range of wings with moderate thickness at moderate $\alpha$., Comment: 14 pages, 30 figures

Abstract: The dissociation of quarkonium states with different binding energies produced in heavy-ion collisions is a powerful probe for investigating the formation and properties of the quark-gluon plasma. The ratio of production cross-sections of $\psi(2S)$ and $J/\psi$ mesons times the ratio of their branching fractions into the dimuon final state is measured as a function of centrality using data collected by the LHCb detector in PbPb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\text{NN}}}$ = 5.02 TeV. The measured ratio shows no dependence on the collision centrality, and is compared to the latest theory predictions and to the recent measurements in literature., Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/LHCb-PAPER-2024-041.html (LHCb public pages)

43. An evolving surface finite element method for the Cahn-Hilliard equation with a logarithmic potential

Author: Elliott, Charles M. and Sales, Thomas
Subjects: Mathematics - Numerical Analysis, 65M60 (Primary) 65M16, 35K67 (Secondary)
Abstract: In this paper we study semi-discrete and fully discrete evolving surface finite element schemes for the Cahn-Hilliard equation with a logarithmic potential. Specifically we consider linear finite elements discretising space and backward Euler time discretisation. Our analysis relies on a specific geometric assumption on the evolution of the surface. Our main results are $L^2_{H^1}$ error bounds for both the semi-discrete and fully discrete schemes, and we provide some numerical results., Comment: 60 pages, 4 figures, 1 table

44. Asymptotic error analysis for stochastic gradient optimization schemes with first and second order modified equations

Author: Bréhier, Charles-Edouard, Dambrine, Marc, and En-Nebbazi, Nassim
Subjects: Mathematics - Numerical Analysis, Mathematics - Optimization and Control, Mathematics - Probability
Abstract: We consider a class of stochastic gradient optimization schemes. Assuming that the objective function is strongly convex, we prove weak error estimates which are uniform in time for the error between the solution of the numerical scheme, and the solutions of continuous-time modified (or high-resolution) differential equations at first and second orders, with respect to the time-step size. At first order, the modified equation is deterministic, whereas at second order the modified equation is stochastic and depends on a modified objective function. We go beyond existing results where the error estimates have been considered only on finite time intervals and were not uniform in time. This allows us to then provide a rigorous complexity analysis of the method in the large time and small time step size regimes.

45. Word reuse and combination support efficient communication of emerging concepts

Author: Xu, Aotao, Kemp, Charles, Frermann, Lea, and Xu, Yang
Subjects: Computer Science - Computation and Language
Abstract: A key function of the lexicon is to express novel concepts as they emerge over time through a process known as lexicalization. The most common lexicalization strategies are the reuse and combination of existing words, but they have typically been studied separately in the areas of word meaning extension and word formation. Here we offer an information-theoretic account of how both strategies are constrained by a fundamental tradeoff between competing communicative pressures: word reuse tends to preserve the average length of word forms at the cost of less precision, while word combination tends to produce more informative words at the expense of greater word length. We test our proposal against a large dataset of reuse items and compounds that appeared in English, French and Finnish over the past century. We find that these historically emerging items achieve higher levels of communicative efficiency than hypothetical ways of constructing the lexicon, and both literal reuse items and compounds tend to be more efficient than their non-literal counterparts. These results suggest that reuse and combination are both consistent with a unified account of lexicalization grounded in the theory of efficient communication., Comment: Published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

46. Projective Rigidity of Once-Punctured Torus Bundles via the Twisted Alexander Polynomial

Author: Daly, Charles
Subjects: Mathematics - Geometric Topology, Mathematics - Representation Theory
Abstract: In this paper we provide a means of certifying infinitesimal projective rigidity relative to the cusp for hyperbolic once punctured torus bundles in terms of twisted Alexander polynomials of representations associated to the holonomy. We also relate this polynomial to an induced action on the tangent space of the character variety of the free group of rank 2 into PGL(4,R) that arises from the holonomy of a hyperbolic once-punctured torus bundle. We prove the induced action on the tangent space of the character variety is the same as the group theoretic action that arises in the Lyndon Hochschild Serre spectral sequence on cohomology., Comment: 25 pages

47. From Word Vectors to Multimodal Embeddings: Techniques, Applications, and Future Directions For Large Language Models

Author: Zhang, Charles, Peng, Benji, Sun, Xintian, Niu, Qian, Liu, Junyu, Chen, Keyu, Li, Ming, Feng, Pohsun, Bi, Ziqian, Liu, Ming, Zhang, Yichao, Fei, Cheng, Yin, Caitlyn Heqi, Yan, Lawrence KQ, and Wang, Tianyang
Subjects: Computer Science - Computation and Language
Abstract: Word embeddings and language models have transformed natural language processing (NLP) by facilitating the representation of linguistic elements in continuous vector spaces. This review visits foundational concepts such as the distributional hypothesis and contextual similarity, tracing the evolution from sparse representations like one-hot encoding to dense embeddings including Word2Vec, GloVe, and fastText. We examine both static and contextualized embeddings, underscoring advancements in models such as ELMo, BERT, and GPT and their adaptations for cross-lingual and personalized applications. The discussion extends to sentence and document embeddings, covering aggregation methods and generative topic models, along with the application of embeddings in multimodal domains, including vision, robotics, and cognitive science. Advanced topics such as model compression, interpretability, numerical encoding, and bias mitigation are analyzed, addressing both technical challenges and ethical implications. Additionally, we identify future research directions, emphasizing the need for scalable training techniques, enhanced interpretability, and robust grounding in non-textual modalities. By synthesizing current methodologies and emerging trends, this survey offers researchers and practitioners an in-depth resource to push the boundaries of embedding-based language models., Comment: 21 pages

48. Classification with Conceptual Safeguards

Author: Joren, Hailey, Marx, Charles, and Ustun, Berk
Subjects: Computer Science - Machine Learning
Abstract: We propose a new approach to promote safety in classification tasks with established concepts. Our approach -- called a conceptual safeguard -- acts as a verification layer for models that predict a target outcome by first predicting the presence of intermediate concepts. Given this architecture, a safeguard ensures that a model meets a minimal level of accuracy by abstaining from uncertain predictions. In contrast to a standard selective classifier, a safeguard provides an avenue to improve coverage by allowing a human to confirm the presence of uncertain concepts on instances on which it abstains. We develop methods to build safeguards that maximize coverage without compromising safety, namely techniques to propagate the uncertainty in concept predictions and to flag salient concepts for human review. We benchmark our approach on a collection of real-world and synthetic datasets, showing that it can improve performance and coverage in deep learning tasks.

49. Prototyping O-RAN Enabled UAV Experimentation for the AERPAW Testbed

Author: Moore, Joshua, Abdalla, Aly Sabri, Ueltschey, Charles, and Marojevic, Vuk
Subjects: Computer Science - Networking and Internet Architecture, Computer Science - Hardware Architecture, Electrical Engineering and Systems Science - Systems and Control
Abstract: The Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) architecture is reshaping the telecommunications landscape by enhancing network flexibility, openness, and intelligence. This paper establishes the requirements, evaluates the design tradeoffs, and introduces a scalable architecture and prototype of an open-source O-RAN experimentation platform within the Aerial Experimentation and Research Platform for Advanced Wireless (AERPAW), an at scale testbed that integrates unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with advanced wireless network technologies, offering experimentation in both outdoor testbed and emulation via a custom digital twin (DT). Through a series of aerial experiments, we evaluate FlexRIC, an open-source RAN Intelligent Controller, within the AERPAW hardware-software platform for network data monitoring, providing valuable insights into the proposed integration and revealing opportunities for leveraging O-RAN to create custom service based optimizations for cellular connected UAVs. We discuss the challenges and potential use cases of this integration and demonstrate the use of a generative artificial intelligence model for generating realistic data based on collected real-world data to support AERPAW's DT., Comment: This article has been accepted for publication in the IEEE Communications Magazine

50. Crystalline and polycrystalline regimes in a periodically sheared 2-dimensional system of disks

Author: Su, Siyuan, Zhang, Jie, Radin, Charles, and Swinney, Harry L.
Subjects: Condensed Matter - Soft Condensed Matter
Abstract: A layer of monodisperse circular steel disks in a nearly square horizontal cell forms, for shear amplitudes SA $\le$ 0.08, hexagonal close-packed crystallites that grow and merge until a single crystal fills the container. Increasing the shear amplitude leads to another reproducible regime, 0.21 $\le$ SA $\le$ 0.27, where a few large polycrystallites grow, shrink, and rotate with shear cycling, but do not evolve into a single crystal that fills the container. These results are robust within certain ranges of applied pressure and shear frequency.
