1. Decade‐Long Ozone Profile Record From Suomi NPP OMPS Limb Profiler: Assessment of Version 2.6 Data

Author: N. A. Kramarova, P. Xu, J. Mok, P. K. Bhartia, G. Jaross, L. Moy, Z. Chen, S. Frith, M. DeLand, D. Kahn, G. Labow, J. Li, E. Nyaku, C. Weaver, J. Ziemke, S. Davis, and Y. Jia

Abstract: Abstract We evaluate a decadal ozone profile record derived from the Suomi National Polar‐orbiting Partnership (SNPP) Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) Limb Profiler (LP) satellite instrument. In 2023, the OMPS LP data were re‐processed with the new version 2.6 retrieval algorithm that combines measurements from the ultraviolet (UV) and visible (VIS) parts of the spectra. It employs the second order Tikhonov regularization to retrieve a single vertical ozone profile between 12.5 km (or cloud tops) and 57.5 km with a vertical resolution of about 1.9–2.5 km between 20 and 55 km. The algorithm uses radiances measured at six UV ozone‐sensitive wavelengths (295, 302, 306, 312, 317, and 322 nm) paired with 353 nm, and one VIS wavelength at 606 nm combined with 510 and 675 nm to form a triplet. Each wavelength pair or triplet is used over a limited range of tangent altitudes where the sensitivity to ozone change is strongest. A new aerosol correction scheme was implemented based on a gamma‐function particle size distribution. In addition, numerous calibration changes that affected ozone retrievals were applied to measured LP radiances, including updates in altitude registration, radiometric calibration, stray light, and spectral registration. The key version 2.6 enhancement is the improved stability of the LP ozone record confirmed by the reduction in relative drifts between LP ozone and correlative measurements, linked previously to a drift in the version 2.5 LP altitude registration.

Subjects: cavitation, centrifugal pump, vortex generator, response surface method, cavitation control, Mechanical engineering and machinery, TJ1-1570
Abstract: The performance and life of centrifugal pumps can be severely impacted by cavitation. In this study, a vortex generator was placed on the blades of the first-stage impeller of a BB4 multistage centrifugal pump to investigate its effect on the local flow field. The response surface method was employed to design various solutions based on the vortex generator's arrangement position, height, and rotation angle and the optimum parameters were φ = 20°, θ = 10°, and h = 1.2114 mm. The results showed that a pressure rise occurred at the corresponding position of the vortex generator, and the pressure variation ranges from 1.99%-8.91%, which is closely related to the height parameter of the vortex generator. In the flow field near the vortex generator, the velocity increased and then decreased along the vertical direction of the blade wall, reaching a maximum height of 1.5 mm. Additionally, the low-velocity zone formed at the end of the vortex generator gradually became larger with the downward movement of the arrangement position, and its velocity varies in the range of about 1.5 m/s-15.7 m/s, and the pressure varies in the range of about 14,000 Pa-125,000 Pa. This research is crucial for understanding the cavitation control principle of vortex generators in centrifugal pumps.

3. Distinctive localized corrosion behavior of β-Mg2Si and α-Al(Fe,Mn)Si phases in a 6082 alloy

Abstract: 6xxx series (Al–Mg–Si) alloys are generally known to be greatly susceptible to localized corrosion, which is closely related to the presence of coarse intermetallic compounds (IMCs). In this work, the localized corrosion behaviour of two representative IMCs, namely β-Mg2Si and α-Al(Fe,Mn)Si, were investigated in a 6082 alloy (Al–Mg–Si–Mn-based). For the β-Mg2Si phase, a rapid de-alloying process is primarily observed. Subsequently, their surface will transform to the electric insulating SiO2 layer, which tends to suppress the further corrosion in its periphery. However, it is found that the α-Al(Fe,Mn)Si phase surprisingly tends to be a potentially effective cathode to promote the initiation of stable localized corrosion, which is contrast with its outstanding corrosion-resistance. Careful examinations reveal that such abnormal corrosion behaviour of α-Al(Fe,Mn)Si is most likely to be relevant to the surface aggregation of Cu impurities, which is clarified by a large number of Cu-rich nanoparticles on its surfaces.

4. Upgrading mechanical property and corrosion resistance of a low cost 45 steel by remelting a Cr film of ∼1μm in thickness

Author: W. Zhao, D.J. Cai, X. Wu, Y.J. Liu, P. Xu, Y.H. Gao, W.Q. Lu, Q. Wang, Q. Zhang, and X.C. Liu
Subjects: Steel, Microalloying, Laser melting, Corrosion resistance, Mechanical property, Mining engineering. Metallurgy, TN1-997
Abstract: It is well-known that the overall mechanical or chemical properties of the metallic material could be tailored by introducing either grain size gradient or chemical gradient. In this work, we, taking one of the widely used low cost 45 steel as a model material, demonstrated that both mechanical properties and corrosion resistance can be greatly upgraded by laser remelting a Cr film of ∼1 μm in thickness. The yield strength was increased by ∼110 MPa and the elongation was almost unchanged in contrast to the Cr-free substrate. The corrosion resistance was also enhanced with a higher self-corrosion voltage (increased by 0.1 V) and a lower self-corrosion current (decreased by 80 nA/cm2). The upgraded strength-ductility synergy derives from the laser induced rapid melting and solidification, where the top surface layer incorporates both grain size gradient and chemical gradient. Greatly refined grain size and micro-alloying of Cr in the form of both solid solution and nanoprecipitates contribute to the enhanced strength, while higher concentration of Cr resulting in the formation of passivation film, accounts for the superior corrosion resistance. The findings in this work provide a strategy for optimizing the mechanical and chemical properties through surface medications, making metallic materials multi-functional.

5. A genetic particle filter scheme for univariate snow cover assimilation into Noah-MP model across snow climates

Author: Y. You, C. Huang, Z. Wang, J. Hou, Y. Zhang, and P. Xu
Subjects: Technology, Environmental technology. Sanitary engineering, TD1-1066, Geography. Anthropology. Recreation, Environmental sciences, GE1-350
Abstract: Accurate snowpack simulations are critical for regional hydrological predictions, snow avalanche prevention, water resource management, and agricultural production, particularly during the snow ablation period. Data assimilation methodologies are increasingly being applied for operational purposes to reduce the uncertainty in snowpack simulations and to enhance their predictive capabilities. This study aims to investigate the feasibility of using a genetic particle filter (GPF) as a snow data assimilation scheme designed to assimilate ground-based snow depth (SD) measurements across different snow climates. We employed the default parameterization scheme combination within the Noah-MP (with multi-parameterization) model as the model operator in the snow data assimilation system to evolve snow variables and evaluated the assimilation performance of the GPF using observational data from sites with different snow climates. We also explored the impact of measurement frequency and particle number on the filter updating of the snowpack state at different sites and the results of generic resampling methods compared to the genetic algorithm used in the resampling process. Our results demonstrate that a GPF can be used as a snow data assimilation scheme to assimilate ground-based measurements and obtain satisfactory assimilation performance across different snow climates. We found that particle number is not crucial for the filter's performance, and 100 particles are sufficient to represent the high dimensionality of the point-scale system. The frequency of measurements can significantly affect the filter-updating performance, and dense ground-based snow observational data always dominate the accuracy of assimilation results. Compared to generic resampling methods, the genetic algorithm used to resample particles can significantly enhance the diversity of particles and prevent particle degeneration and impoverishment. Finally, we concluded that the GPF is a suitable candidate approach for snow data assimilation and is appropriate for different snow climates.

6. (Dis)Connection at Work: Racial Isolation, Teachers' Job Experiences, and Teacher Turnover. EdWorkingPaper No. 24-995

Author: Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, Shirley H. Xu, Francisco Arturo Santelli, Jason A. Grissom, Brendan Bartanen, and Susan Kemper Patrick
Abstract: Teachers of color often work in schools with few colleagues from the same racial or ethnic background. This "racial isolation" may affect their work experiences and important job outcomes, including retention. Using longitudinal administrative and survey data, we investigate the degree to which Tennessee teachers who are more racially isolated are more likely to turn over. Accounting for other factors, we find that racially isolated Black teachers are more likely to leave their schools than less isolated teachers. This turnover is driven by transfers to a different district and exiting the profession altogether. Consistent with an explanation that isolated teachers' work experiences differ, they also report less collaboration with colleagues and receive lower observation scores.

Author: MDRC, Betsy Tessler, Kelsey Brown, and Di Xu
Abstract: Across the country, as technology continues to advance rapidly, the labor market exhibits a growing need for workers who receive frequent and ongoing skill development. Employers in many fields struggle to find adequately trained workers to meet their needs. Community college noncredit career and technical education (CTE) programs are an important contributor to skill and workforce development and help to close this "skills gap." This brief summarizes early findings from a study of FastForward, which uses a pay-for-performance model to fund noncredit CTE programs at the 23 colleges in the Virginia Community College System. FastForward aims to increase the supply of workers who receive credentials for high-demand occupations in Virginia. The FastForward study is focused on identifying institutional and programmatic factors that may influence learners' academic and labor market outcomes. This brief presents findings on the different approaches used by colleges and programs to deliver training, student and staff experiences in these CTE programs, and students' academic and labor market outcomes.

8. Application of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography technique to in-process measure hole depth during femtosecond laser drilling in different alloys

Author: P. Xu, Y. Yu, R. J. Liu, K. Zha, L. Zhou, Y. T. Liu, and Z. Xu
Subjects: Physics, QC1-999
Abstract: In this paper, a real-time diagnostic based on the spectral-domain optical coherence technique has been developed to measure the hole depth during femtosecond laser drilling. This diagnostic borrows the idea of a fiber interferometer, and the hole is integrated as a part of the sample arm. By means of investigating the interference fringes detected by the line camera, the hole depth can be extracted. This diagnostic utilizes a broadband small-volume super-luminescent diode as the coherent light source, which has a central wavelength of 833 nm and a full width at half maximum of 24 nm. It has a temporal resolution of 50 µs and a maximal theoretic depth resolution of 12.8 µm. Three kinds of metal samples have been tested, confirming the ability of depth measurement. Copper has been proven to have the best-normalized reflectivity during drilling compared with aluminum alloy and stainless steel.

9. Understanding and Co-designing Photo-based Reminiscence with Older Adults

Author: Zhang, Zhongyue, Xu, Lina, Wang, Xingkai, Zhang, Xu, and Fan, Mingming
Subjects: Computer Science - Human-Computer Interaction
Abstract: Reminiscence, the act of revisiting past memories, is crucial for self-reflection and social interaction, significantly enhancing psychological well-being, life satisfaction, and self-identity among older adults. In HCI and CSCW, there is growing interest in leveraging technology to support reminiscence for older adults. However, understanding how older adults actively use technologies for realistic and practical reminiscence in their daily lives remains limited. This paper addresses this gap by providing an in-depth, empirical understanding of technology-mediated, photo-based reminiscence among older adults. Through a two-part study involving 20 older adults, we conducted semi-structured interviews and co-design sessions to explore their use and vision of digital technologies for photo-based reminiscence activities. Based on these insights, we propose design implications to make future reminiscence technologies more accessible and empowering for older adults., Comment: 30 pages, 7 figures, 1 table

Abstract: Traditional methods for optimizing light source emissions rely on a time-consuming trial-and-error approach. While in-situ optimization of light source gain media emission during growth is ideal, it has yet to be realized. In this work, we integrate in-situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) with machine learning (ML) to correlate the surface reconstruction with the photoluminescence (PL) of InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs), which serve as the active region of lasers. A lightweight ResNet-GLAM model is employed for the real-time processing of RHEED data as input, enabling effective identification of optical performance. This approach guides the dynamic optimization of growth parameters, allowing real-time feedback control to adjust the QDs emission for lasers. We successfully optimized InAs QDs on GaAs substrates, with a 3.2-fold increase in PL intensity and a reduction in full width at half maximum (FWHM) from 36.69 meV to 28.17 meV under initially suboptimal growth conditions. Our automated, in-situ self-optimized lasers with 5-layer InAs QDs achieved electrically pumped continuous-wave operation at 1240 nm with a low threshold current of 150 A/cm2 at room temperature, an excellent performance comparable to samples grown through traditional manual multi-parameter optimization methods. These results mark a significant step toward intelligent, low-cost, and reproductive light emitters production., Comment: 5 figures

Abstract: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have become essential in interpreting relational data across various domains, yet, they often struggle to generalize to unseen graph data that differs markedly from training instances. In this paper, we introduce a novel framework called General Retrieval-Augmented Graph Learning (RAGraph), which brings external graph data into the general graph foundation model to improve model generalization on unseen scenarios. On the top of our framework is a toy graph vector library that we established, which captures key attributes, such as features and task-specific label information. During inference, the RAGraph adeptly retrieves similar toy graphs based on key similarities in downstream tasks, integrating the retrieved data to enrich the learning context via the message-passing prompting mechanism. Our extensive experimental evaluations demonstrate that RAGraph significantly outperforms state-of-the-art graph learning methods in multiple tasks such as node classification, link prediction, and graph classification across both dynamic and static datasets. Furthermore, extensive testing confirms that RAGraph consistently maintains high performance without the need for task-specific fine-tuning, highlighting its adaptability, robustness, and broad applicability., Comment: NeurIPS 2024

12. Long$^2$RAG: Evaluating Long-Context & Long-Form Retrieval-Augmented Generation with Key Point Recall

Author: Qi, Zehan, Xu, Rongwu, Guo, Zhijiang, Wang, Cunxiang, Zhang, Hao, and Xu, Wei
Subjects: Computer Science - Computation and Language
Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is a promising approach to address the limitations of fixed knowledge in large language models (LLMs). However, current benchmarks for evaluating RAG systems suffer from two key deficiencies: (1) they fail to adequately measure LLMs' capability in handling long-context retrieval due to a lack of datasets that reflect the characteristics of retrieved documents, and (2) they lack a comprehensive evaluation method for assessing LLMs' ability to generate long-form responses that effectively exploits retrieved information. To address these shortcomings, we introduce the Long$^2$RAG benchmark and the Key Point Recall (KPR) metric. Long$^2$RAG comprises 280 questions spanning 10 domains and across 8 question categories, each associated with 5 retrieved documents with an average length of 2,444 words. KPR evaluates the extent to which LLMs incorporate key points extracted from the retrieved documents into their generated responses, providing a more nuanced assessment of their ability to exploit retrieved information., Comment: Accepted to EMNLP'24 (Findings).

13. BenchX: A Unified Benchmark Framework for Medical Vision-Language Pretraining on Chest X-Rays

Author: Zhou, Yang, Faith, Tan Li Hui, Xu, Yanyu, Leng, Sicong, Xu, Xinxing, Liu, Yong, and Goh, Rick Siow Mong
Subjects: Computer Science - Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
Abstract: Medical Vision-Language Pretraining (MedVLP) shows promise in learning generalizable and transferable visual representations from paired and unpaired medical images and reports. MedVLP can provide useful features to downstream tasks and facilitate adapting task-specific models to new setups using fewer examples. However, existing MedVLP methods often differ in terms of datasets, preprocessing, and finetuning implementations. This pose great challenges in evaluating how well a MedVLP method generalizes to various clinically-relevant tasks due to the lack of unified, standardized, and comprehensive benchmark. To fill this gap, we propose BenchX, a unified benchmark framework that enables head-to-head comparison and systematical analysis between MedVLP methods using public chest X-ray datasets. Specifically, BenchX is composed of three components: 1) Comprehensive datasets covering nine datasets and four medical tasks; 2) Benchmark suites to standardize data preprocessing, train-test splits, and parameter selection; 3) Unified finetuning protocols that accommodate heterogeneous MedVLP methods for consistent task adaptation in classification, segmentation, and report generation, respectively. Utilizing BenchX, we establish baselines for nine state-of-the-art MedVLP methods and found that the performance of some early MedVLP methods can be enhanced to surpass more recent ones, prompting a revisiting of the developments and conclusions from prior works in MedVLP.

Abstract: Using $(10087\pm44)\times 10^{6}$ $J/\psi$ decays collected by the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we search for baryon number violation via $\Lambda-\bar{\Lambda}$ oscillation in the decay $J/\psi \to \Lambda \bar{\Lambda}$. No evidence for $\Lambda-\bar\Lambda$ oscillation is observed. The upper limit on the time-integrated probability of $\Lambda-\bar{\Lambda}$ oscillation is estimated to be $1.4\times 10^{-6}$, corresponding to an oscillation parameter less than $2.1\times 10^{-18}~\mathrm{GeV}$ at $90\%$ confidence level., Comment: 8 pages, 2 figures

15. Large deviation principle for slow-fast systems with infinite-dimensional mixed fractional Brownian motion

Author: Xu, Wenting, Xu, Yong, Yang, Xiaoyu, and Pei, Bin
Subjects: Mathematics - Probability, 60F10, 60G15, 60H15
Abstract: This work is concerned with the large deviation principle for a family of slow-fast systems perturbed by infinite-dimensional mixed fractional Brownian motion (FBM) with Hurst parameter $H\in(\frac12,1)$. We adopt the weak convergence method which is based on the variational representation formula for infinite-dimensional mixed FBM. To obtain the weak convergence of the controlled systems, we apply the Khasminskii's averaging principle and the time discretization technique. In addition, we drop the boundedness assumption of the drift coefficient of the slow component and the diffusion coefficient of the fast component.

16. Eliminating Incoherent Noise: A Coherent Quantum Approach in Multi-Sensor Dark Matter Detection

Author: Shu, Jing, Xu, Bin, and Xu, Yuan
Subjects: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology, High Energy Physics - Experiment, Quantum Physics
Abstract: We propose a novel dark matter detection scheme by leveraging quantum coherence across a network of multiple quantum sensors. This method effectively eliminates incoherent background noise, thereby significantly enhancing detection sensitivity. This is achieved by performing a series of basis transformation operations, allowing the coherent signal to be expressed as a combination of sensor population measurements without introducing background noise. We present a comprehensive analytical analysis and complement it with practical numerical simulations. These demonstrations reveal that signal strength is enhanced by the square of the number of sensors, while noise, primarily due to operational infidelity rather than background fluctuations, increases only linearly with the number of sensors. Our approach paves the way for next-generation dark matter searches that optimally utilize an advanced network of sensors and quantum technologies., Comment: 16 pages, 4 figures

17. ODRL: A Benchmark for Off-Dynamics Reinforcement Learning

Author: Lyu, Jiafei, Xu, Kang, Xu, Jiacheng, Yan, Mengbei, Yang, Jingwen, Zhang, Zongzhang, Bai, Chenjia, Lu, Zongqing, and Li, Xiu
Subjects: Computer Science - Machine Learning, Computer Science - Artificial Intelligence
Abstract: We consider off-dynamics reinforcement learning (RL) where one needs to transfer policies across different domains with dynamics mismatch. Despite the focus on developing dynamics-aware algorithms, this field is hindered due to the lack of a standard benchmark. To bridge this gap, we introduce ODRL, the first benchmark tailored for evaluating off-dynamics RL methods. ODRL contains four experimental settings where the source and target domains can be either online or offline, and provides diverse tasks and a broad spectrum of dynamics shifts, making it a reliable platform to comprehensively evaluate the agent's adaptation ability to the target domain. Furthermore, ODRL includes recent off-dynamics RL algorithms in a unified framework and introduces some extra baselines for different settings, all implemented in a single-file manner. To unpack the true adaptation capability of existing methods, we conduct extensive benchmarking experiments, which show that no method has universal advantages across varied dynamics shifts. We hope this benchmark can serve as a cornerstone for future research endeavors. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/OffDynamicsRL/off-dynamics-rl., Comment: NeurIPS 2024 D&B Track

Abstract: Online shopping is a complex multi-task, few-shot learning problem with a wide and evolving range of entities, relations, and tasks. However, existing models and benchmarks are commonly tailored to specific tasks, falling short of capturing the full complexity of online shopping. Large Language Models (LLMs), with their multi-task and few-shot learning abilities, have the potential to profoundly transform online shopping by alleviating task-specific engineering efforts and by providing users with interactive conversations. Despite the potential, LLMs face unique challenges in online shopping, such as domain-specific concepts, implicit knowledge, and heterogeneous user behaviors. Motivated by the potential and challenges, we propose Shopping MMLU, a diverse multi-task online shopping benchmark derived from real-world Amazon data. Shopping MMLU consists of 57 tasks covering 4 major shopping skills: concept understanding, knowledge reasoning, user behavior alignment, and multi-linguality, and can thus comprehensively evaluate the abilities of LLMs as general shop assistants. With Shopping MMLU, we benchmark over 20 existing LLMs and uncover valuable insights about practices and prospects of building versatile LLM-based shop assistants. Shopping MMLU can be publicly accessed at https://github.com/KL4805/ShoppingMMLU. In addition, with Shopping MMLU, we host a competition in KDD Cup 2024 with over 500 participating teams. The winning solutions and the associated workshop can be accessed at our website https://amazon-kddcup24.github.io/., Comment: NeurIPS 2024 Datasets and Benchmarks Track Accepted.

Abstract: We report the discovery of a peculiar X-ray transient, EP240408a, by Einstein Probe (EP) and follow-up studies made with EP, Swift, NICER, GROND, ATCA and other ground-based multi-wavelength telescopes. The new transient was first detected with Wide-field X-ray Telescope (WXT) on board EP on April 8th, 2024, manifested in an intense yet brief X-ray flare lasting for 12 seconds. The flare reached a peak flux of 3.9x10^(-9) erg/cm2/s in 0.5-4 keV, about 300 times brighter than the underlying X-ray emission detected throughout the observation. Rapid and more precise follow-up observations by EP/FXT, Swift and NICER confirmed the finding of this new transient. Its X-ray spectrum is non-thermal in 0.5-10 keV, with a power-law photon index varying within 1.8-2.5. The X-ray light curve shows a plateau lasting for about 4 days, followed by a steep decay till becoming undetectable about 10 days after the initial detection. Based on its temporal property and constraints from previous EP observations, an unusual timescale in the range of 7-23 days is found for EP240408a, which is intermediate between the commonly found fast and long-term transients. No counterparts have been found in optical and near-infrared, with the earliest observation at 17 hours after the initial X-ray detection, suggestive of intrinsically weak emission in these bands. We demonstrate that the remarkable properties of EP240408a are inconsistent with any of the transient types known so far, by comparison with, in particular, jetted tidal disruption events, gamma-ray bursts, X-ray binaries and fast blue optical transients. The nature of EP240408a thus remains an enigma. We suggest that EP240408a may represent a new type of transients with intermediate timescales of the order of about 10 days. The detection and follow-ups of more of such objects are essential for revealing their origin., Comment: 25 pages, 11 figures

20. Energy-Based Diffusion Language Models for Text Generation

Author: Xu, Minkai, Geffner, Tomas, Kreis, Karsten, Nie, Weili, Xu, Yilun, Leskovec, Jure, Ermon, Stefano, and Vahdat, Arash
Subjects: Computer Science - Computation and Language, Computer Science - Machine Learning
Abstract: Despite remarkable progress in autoregressive language models, alternative generative paradigms beyond left-to-right generation are still being actively explored. Discrete diffusion models, with the capacity for parallel generation, have recently emerged as a promising alternative. Unfortunately, these models still underperform the autoregressive counterparts, with the performance gap increasing when reducing the number of sampling steps. Our analysis reveals that this degradation is a consequence of an imperfect approximation used by diffusion models. In this work, we propose Energy-based Diffusion Language Model (EDLM), an energy-based model operating at the full sequence level for each diffusion step, introduced to improve the underlying approximation used by diffusion models. More specifically, we introduce an EBM in a residual form, and show that its parameters can be obtained by leveraging a pretrained autoregressive model or by finetuning a bidirectional transformer via noise contrastive estimation. We also propose an efficient generation algorithm via parallel important sampling. Comprehensive experiments on language modeling benchmarks show that our model can consistently outperform state-of-the-art diffusion models by a significant margin, and approaches autoregressive models' perplexity. We further show that, without any generation performance drop, our framework offers a 1.3$\times$ sampling speedup over existing diffusion models.

Abstract: Measurements of $CP$ observables and the CKM angle $\gamma$ are performed in $B^{\pm} \to D K^*(892)^{\pm}$ decays, where $D$ represents a superposition of $D^0$ and $\overline{D}{}^0$ states, using the LHCb dataset collected during Run 1 (2011-2012) and Run 2 (2015-2018). A comprehensive study of this channel is presented with the $D$ meson reconstructed in two-body final states $K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}$, $K^+K^-$ and $\pi^+\pi^-$; four-body final states $K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}\pi^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}$ and $\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-$; and three-body final states $K^0_{S} \pi^+\pi^-$ and $K^0_{S} K^+ K^-$. This analysis includes the first observation of the suppressed $B^{\pm} \to [\pi^+K^-]_D K^{*\pm}$ and $B^{\pm} \to [\pi^+K^-\pi^+\pi^-]_D K^{*\pm}$ decays. The combined result gives $\gamma=(63\pm 13)^\circ$., 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/3180/ (LHCb public pages)

22. Unimolecular Chemical Kinetics in the Interstellar: Competition of Infrared Radiation and Collision Activation Mechanisms

Abstract: Unimolecular gas phase chemical reactions could be activated by both infrared (IR) radiation and inter-molecular collision in the interstellar environment. Understanding the interplay and competition between the radiation and collision activation mechanisms is crucial for assessing accurate reaction rate constants with an appropriate model. In this work, guided by an extended version of Lindemann theory that considers the contribution of both the radiation-activation and collision-activation to the rate constant of unimolecular reactions, we show that the relative importance of the two mechanisms can be measured by a dimensionless number $PR$ that is the ratio of the collision frequency to the radiation absorption rate of the molecule. The reaction kinetic is dominated by collision-activation or by radiation activation depending on whether $PR$ is larger or smaller than a reference value $PR^*$, which is determined to be $PR^* \approx 10$ based on magnitudes of molecular properties and is verified by detailed calculations of a number of typical interstellar unimolecular reactions. This method of evaluating the relative importance of the two mechanisms is checked against master equation calculations of two interstellar reactions: the dissociation reaction of silicilic acid around the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star and the methyl association in Titan's atmosphere, and the validity is verified. The method can be used in the future to help determine the appropriate and effective modeling approach for chemical reactions in astrophysical environments.

23. Angel or Devil: Discriminating Hard Samples and Anomaly Contaminations for Unsupervised Time Series Anomaly Detection

Author: Zhang, Ruyi, Xu, Hongzuo, Jian, Songlei, Tan, Yusong, Zhou, Haifang, and Xu, Rulin
Subjects: Computer Science - Machine Learning, Computer Science - Artificial Intelligence
Abstract: Training in unsupervised time series anomaly detection is constantly plagued by the discrimination between harmful `anomaly contaminations' and beneficial `hard normal samples'. These two samples exhibit analogous loss behavior that conventional loss-based methodologies struggle to differentiate. To tackle this problem, we propose a novel approach that supplements traditional loss behavior with `parameter behavior', enabling a more granular characterization of anomalous patterns. Parameter behavior is formalized by measuring the parametric response to minute perturbations in input samples. Leveraging the complementary nature of parameter and loss behaviors, we further propose a dual Parameter-Loss Data Augmentation method (termed PLDA), implemented within the reinforcement learning paradigm. During the training phase of anomaly detection, PLDA dynamically augments the training data through an iterative process that simultaneously mitigates anomaly contaminations while amplifying informative hard normal samples. PLDA demonstrates remarkable versatility, which can serve as an additional component that seamlessly integrated with existing anomaly detectors to enhance their detection performance. Extensive experiments on ten datasets show that PLDA significantly improves the performance of four distinct detectors by up to 8\%, outperforming three state-of-the-art data augmentation methods., Comment: 14 pages, 9 figures, 5 tables

Abstract: By analyzing $e^{+}e^{-}$ collision data with an integrated luminosity of 7.9~fb$^{-1}$ collected with the BESIII detector at the center-of-mass energy of 3.773~GeV, the branching fraction of $D^+\to\tau^+\nu_{\tau}$ is determined as $\mathcal{B}=(9.9\pm 1.1_\mathrm{stat}\pm 0.5_\mathrm{syst})\times10^{-4}$. Taking the most precise result $\mathcal{B}(D^+\to\mu^+\nu_{\mu})=(3.981\pm 0.079_\mathrm{stat}\pm0.040_\mathrm{syst})\times10^{-4}$, we determine $R_{\tau/\mu} = \Gamma(D^+\to\tau^+\nu_{\tau})/\Gamma(D^+\to\mu^+\nu_{\mu})= 2.49\pm0.31$, achieving a factor of two improvement in precision compared to the previous BESIII result. This measurement is in agreement with the standard model prediction of lepton flavor universality within one standard deviation.

25. FLiP: Privacy-Preserving Federated Learning based on the Principle of Least Privileg

Author: Xu, ShiMao, Ke, Xiaopeng, Su, Xing, Li, Shucheng, Wu, Hao, Zhong, Sheng, and Xu, Fengyuan
Subjects: Computer Science - Machine Learning
Abstract: Federated Learning (FL) allows users to share knowledge instead of raw data to train a model with high accuracy. Unfortunately, during the training, users lose control over the knowledge shared, which causes serious data privacy issues. We hold that users are only willing and need to share the essential knowledge to the training task to obtain the FL model with high accuracy. However, existing efforts cannot help users minimize the shared knowledge according to the user intention in the FL training procedure. This work proposes FLiP, which aims to bring the principle of least privilege (PoLP) to FL training. The key design of FLiP is applying elaborate information reduction on the training data through a local-global dataset distillation design. We measure the privacy performance through attribute inference and membership inference attacks. Extensive experiments show that FLiP strikes a good balance between model accuracy and privacy protection.

Abstract: Using $(27.12\pm0.14) \times 10^{8}$ $\psi(2S)$ events collected by the BESIII detector operating at BEPCII, we search for the decay $\eta_c(2S)\to p\bar{p}$ via the process $\psi(2S)\to \gamma\eta_c(2S)$, and only find a signal with a significance of $1.7\,\sigma$. The upper limit of the product branching fraction at the 90% confidence level is determined to be $\mathcal{B}(\psi(2S)\to \gamma\eta_c(2S))\times \mathcal{B}(\eta_c(2S)\to p\bar{p})<2.4\times 10^{-7}$. The branching fractions of $\chi_{cJ}\to p\bar{p}~(J=0,1,2)$ are also measured to be $\mathcal{B}(\chi_{c0}\to p\bar{p})=(2.51\pm0.02\pm0.08)\times 10^{-4}$, $\mathcal{B}(\chi_{c1}\to p\bar{p})=(8.16\pm0.09\pm0.25)\times 10^{-4}$, and $\mathcal{B}(\chi_{c2}\to p\bar{p})=(8.33\pm0.09\pm0.22)\times 10^{-4}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic.

Abstract: This paper presents the first measurement of $\psi{(2S)}$ and $\chi_{c1}(3872)$ meson production within fully reconstructed jets. Each quarkonium state (tag) is reconstructed via its decay to the $J/\psi$($\rightarrow\mu^+\mu^-$)$\pi^+\pi^-$ final state in the forward region using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at the center-of-mass-energy of $13 \text{TeV}$ in 2016, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.64 \text{fb}^{-1}$. The fragmentation function, presented as the ratio of the quarkonium-tag transverse momentum to the full jet transverse momentum ($p_{\mathrm{T}}(\text{tag})/p_{\mathrm{T}}(\text{jet})$), is measured differentially in $p_{\mathrm{T}}(\text{jet})$ and $p_{\mathrm{T}}(\text{tag})$ bins. The distributions are separated into promptly produced quarkonia from proton-proton collisions and quarkonia produced from displaced $b$-hadron decays. While the displaced quarkonia fragmentation functions are in general well described by parton-shower predictions, the prompt quarkonium distributions differ significantly from fixed-order non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) predictions followed by a QCD parton shower., 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/1618/ (LHCb public pages)

28. Few-shot NeRF by Adaptive Rendering Loss Regularization

Subjects: Computer Science - Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
Abstract: Novel view synthesis with sparse inputs poses great challenges to Neural Radiance Field (NeRF). Recent works demonstrate that the frequency regularization of Positional Encoding (PE) can achieve promising results for few-shot NeRF. In this work, we reveal that there exists an inconsistency between the frequency regularization of PE and rendering loss. This prevents few-shot NeRF from synthesizing higher-quality novel views. To mitigate this inconsistency, we propose Adaptive Rendering loss regularization for few-shot NeRF, dubbed AR-NeRF. Specifically, we present a two-phase rendering supervision and an adaptive rendering loss weight learning strategy to align the frequency relationship between PE and 2D-pixel supervision. In this way, AR-NeRF can learn global structures better in the early training phase and adaptively learn local details throughout the training process. Extensive experiments show that our AR-NeRF achieves state-of-the-art performance on different datasets, including object-level and complex scenes., Comment: Accepted by ECCV2024

Abstract: Using the B$\rho$-defined isochronous mass spectrometry technique, we report the first determination of the $^{23}$Si, $^{26}$P, $^{27}$S, and $^{31}$Ar masses and improve the precision of the $^{28}$S mass by a factor of 11. Our measurements confirm that these isotopes are bound and fix the location of the proton dripline in P, S, and Ar. We find that the mirror energy differences of the mirror-nuclei pairs $^{26}$P-$^{26}$Na, $^{27}$P-$^{27}$Mg, $^{27}$S-$^{27}$Na, $^{28}$S-$^{28}$Mg, and $^{31}$Ar-$^{31}$Al deviate significantly from the values predicted assuming mirror symmetry. In addition, we observe similar anomalies in the excited states, but not in the ground states, of the mirror-nuclei pairs $^{22}$Al-$^{22}$F and $^{23}$Al-$^{23}$Ne. Using $ab~ initio$ VS-IMSRG and mean field calculations, we show that such a mirror-symmetry breaking phenomeon can be explained by the extended charge distributions of weakly-bound, proton-rich nuclei. When observed, this phenomenon serves as a unique signature that can be valuable for identifying proton-halo candidates.

Abstract: The XLZD collaboration is developing a two-phase xenon time projection chamber with an active mass of 60 to 80 t capable of probing the remaining WIMP-nucleon interaction parameter space down to the so-called neutrino fog. In this work we show that, based on the performance of currently operating detectors using the same technology and a realistic reduction of radioactivity in detector materials, such an experiment will also be able to competitively search for neutrinoless double beta decay in $^{136}$Xe using a natural-abundance xenon target. XLZD can reach a 3$\sigma$ discovery potential half-life of 5.7$\times$10$^{27}$ yr (and a 90% CL exclusion of 1.3$\times$10$^{28}$ yr) with 10 years of data taking, corresponding to a Majorana mass range of 7.3-31.3 meV (4.8-20.5 meV). XLZD will thus exclude the inverted neutrino mass ordering parameter space and will start to probe the normal ordering region for most of the nuclear matrix elements commonly considered by the community., Comment: 29 pages, 7 figures

Abstract: We report the detection of an extreme flux decrease accompanied by clear dispersion measure (DM) and rotation measure (RM) variations for pulsar B1929+10 during the 110-minute radio observation with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). The radio flux decreases by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude within a rapid time scale of about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, the variations of DM and RM are approximately 0.05 pc cm$^{-3}$ and 0.7 rad m$^{-2}$, respectively. Frequency-dependent analysis of DM indicates an extremely weak chromatic DM feature, which does not notably affect the radiative behavior detected. Moreover, the pulsar timing analysis shows an additional time delay from 100 $\mu$s to 400 $\mu$s in the event. These results are speculated to be due to the eclipse and bend for the radio emission of pulsar B1929+10 by a highly dense outflow from the pulsar. This not only impacts the intrinsic radio emission feature but also affects the pulsar timing behavior. Nevertheless, a plasma lens effect lasting around 20 minutes could also be responsible for the event., Comment: 13 pages, 6 figures. Accepted for publication in ApJL

Abstract: This report describes the experimental strategy and technologies for a next-generation xenon observatory sensitive to dark matter and neutrino physics. The detector will have an active liquid xenon target mass of 60-80 tonnes and is proposed by the XENON-LUX-ZEPLIN-DARWIN (XLZD) collaboration. The design is based on the mature liquid xenon time projection chamber technology of the current-generation experiments, LZ and XENONnT. A baseline design and opportunities for further optimization of the individual detector components are discussed. The experiment envisaged here has the capability to explore parameter space for Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) dark matter down to the neutrino fog, with a 3$\sigma$ evidence potential for the spin-independent WIMP-nucleon cross sections as low as $3\times10^{-49}\rm cm^2$ (at 40 GeV/c$^2$ WIMP mass). The observatory is also projected to have a 3$\sigma$ observation potential of neutrinoless double-beta decay of $^{136}$Xe at a half-life of up to $5.7\times 10^{27}$ years. Additionally, it is sensitive to astrophysical neutrinos from the atmosphere, sun, and galactic supernovae., Comment: 32 pages, 14 figures

Abstract: We report results of a search for nuclear recoils induced by weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter using the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) two-phase xenon time projection chamber. This analysis uses a total exposure of $4.2\pm0.1$ tonne-years from 280 live days of LZ operation, of which $3.3\pm0.1$ tonne-years and 220 live days are new. A technique to actively tag background electronic recoils from $^{214}$Pb $\beta$ decays is featured for the first time. Enhanced electron-ion recombination is observed in two-neutrino double electron capture decays of $^{124}$Xe, representing a noteworthy new background. After removal of artificial signal-like events injected into the data set to mitigate analyzer bias, we find no evidence for an excess over expected backgrounds. World-leading constraints are placed on spin-independent (SI) and spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon cross sections for masses $\geq$9 GeV/$c^2$. The strongest SI exclusion set is $2.1\times10^{-48}$ cm$^{2}$ at the 90% confidence level at a mass of 36 GeV/$c^2$, and the best SI median sensitivity achieved is $5.0\times10^{-48}$ cm$^{2}$ for a mass of 40 GeV/$c^2$.

Abstract: Studies are performed of the Cabibbo-favored decay $\Lambda_{c}^{+}\to\Lambda K_{S}^{0}K^+$ and the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decay $\Lambda_{c}^{+}\to\Lambda K_{S}^{0}\pi^+$, based on a sample of $e^{+}e^{-}$ collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.5 fb$^{-1}$, accumulated at center-of-mass energies between $4599.53$ MeV and $4698.82$ MeV with the BESIII detector. The decay $\Lambda_{c}^{+}\to\Lambda K_{S}^{0}\pi^+$ is observed for the first time. The branching fractions of $\Lambda_{c}^{+}\to\Lambda K_{S}^{0}K^+$ and $\Lambda_{c}^{+}\to\Lambda K_{S}^{0}\pi^+$ are measured to be $(3.04\pm0.30\pm0.16)\times 10^{-3}$ and $(1.73\pm0.27\pm0.10)\times 10^{-3}$, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. These results correspond to the most precise measurement of these quantities for both decays. Evidence of a $K^{*+}$ contribution in the $\Lambda_{c}^{+}\to\Lambda K_{S}^{0}\pi^+$ decay is found with a statistical significance of $4.7\sigma$. The branching fraction of $\Lambda_{c}^{+}\to\Lambda K^{*+}$ is calculated under three possible interference scenarios.

Abstract: We present the results of a search for gravitational-wave transients associated with core-collapse supernova SN 2023ixf, which was observed in the galaxy Messier 101 via optical emission on 2023 May 19th, during the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA 15th Engineering Run. We define a five-day on-source window during which an accompanying gravitational-wave signal may have occurred. No gravitational waves have been identified in data when at least two gravitational-wave observatories were operating, which covered $\sim 14\%$ of this five-day window. We report the search detection efficiency for various possible gravitational-wave emission models. Considering the distance to M101 (6.7 Mpc), we derive constraints on the gravitational-wave emission mechanism of core-collapse supernovae across a broad frequency spectrum, ranging from 50 Hz to 2 kHz where we assume the GW emission occurred when coincident data are available in the on-source window. Considering an ellipsoid model for a rotating proto-neutron star, our search is sensitive to gravitational-wave energy $1 \times 10^{-5} M_{\odot} c^2$ and luminosity $4 \times 10^{-5} M_{\odot} c^2/\text{s}$ for a source emitting at 50 Hz. These constraints are around an order of magnitude more stringent than those obtained so far with gravitational-wave data. The constraint on the ellipticity of the proto-neutron star that is formed is as low as $1.04$, at frequencies above $1200$ Hz, surpassing results from SN 2019ejj., Comment: Main paper: 6 pages, 4 figures and 1 table.

36. Absence of Acoustic Phonon Anomaly in a Kagome Metal with Short-ranged Structural Modulation

Abstract: Kagome lattice $A$V$_3$Sb$_5$ ($A$ = K, Rb, and Cs) superconductors without magnetism from vanadium $d$-electrons are intriguing because they have a novel charge density wave (CDW) order around 90 K and display superconductivity at $\sim$3 K that competes with the CDW order. Recently, CsCr$_3$Sb$_5$, isostructural to $A$V$_3$Sb$_5$, was found to have concurrent structural and magnetic phase transition at $T^{\ast}\approx$ 55 K that can be suppressed by pressure to induce superconductivity [Liu \textit{et al.}, \href{https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-024-07761-x}{Nature \textbf{632}, 1032 (2024)}]. Here, we use elastic and inelastic X-ray scattering to study the microscopic origin of the structural transition in CsCr$_3$Sb$_5$. Although our elastic measurements confirm the 4$\times$1$\times$1 superlattice order below $T^{\ast}$, its underlying correlation is rather short-ranged. Moreover, our inelastic measurements at the superlattice wavevectors around (3, 0, 0) find no evidence of a significant acoustic phonon anomaly below $T^{\ast}$, similar to the case of $A$V$_3$Sb$_5$. The absence of acoustic phonon anomaly indicates a weak electron-phonon coupling in CsCr$_3$Sb$_5$, suggesting that the structural transition is likely associated with an unconventional CDW order., Comment: Six pages, four figures

37. Mitigating Hallucinations of Large Language Models in Medical Information Extraction via Contrastive Decoding

Abstract: The impressive capabilities of large language models (LLMs) have attracted extensive interests of applying LLMs to medical field. However, the complex nature of clinical environments presents significant hallucination challenges for LLMs, hindering their widespread adoption. In this paper, we address these hallucination issues in the context of Medical Information Extraction (MIE) tasks by introducing ALternate Contrastive Decoding (ALCD). We begin by redefining MIE tasks as an identify-and-classify process. We then separate the identification and classification functions of LLMs by selectively masking the optimization of tokens during fine-tuning. During the inference stage, we alternately contrast output distributions derived from sub-task models. This approach aims to selectively enhance the identification and classification capabilities while minimizing the influence of other inherent abilities in LLMs. Additionally, we propose an alternate adaptive constraint strategy to more effectively adjust the scale and scope of contrastive tokens. Through comprehensive experiments on two different backbones and six diverse medical information extraction tasks, ALCD demonstrates significant improvements in resolving hallucination issues compared to conventional decoding methods., Comment: Accepted by EMNLP 2024 Findings

38. CA*: Addressing Evaluation Pitfalls in Computation-Aware Latency for Simultaneous Speech Translation

Author: Xu, Xi, Xu, Wenda, Ouyang, Siqi, and Li, Lei
Subjects: Computer Science - Computation and Language, Computer Science - Artificial Intelligence
Abstract: Simultaneous speech translation (SimulST) systems must balance translation quality with response time, making latency measurement crucial for evaluating their real-world performance. However, there has been a longstanding belief that current metrics yield unrealistically high latency measurements in unsegmented streaming settings. In this paper, we investigate this phenomenon, revealing its root cause in a fundamental misconception underlying existing latency evaluation approaches. We demonstrate that this issue affects not only streaming but also segment-level latency evaluation across different metrics. Furthermore, we propose a modification to correctly measure computation-aware latency for SimulST systems, addressing the limitations present in existing metrics.

39. Incorporating Group Prior into Variational Inference for Tail-User Behavior Modeling in CTR Prediction

Author: Xu, Han, Pan, Taoxing, Liu, Zhiqiang, Xu, Xiaoxiao, and Hu, Lantao
Subjects: Computer Science - Information Retrieval, Computer Science - Artificial Intelligence
Abstract: User behavior modeling -- which aims to extract user interests from behavioral data -- has shown great power in Click-through rate (CTR) prediction, a key component in recommendation systems. Recently, attention-based algorithms have become a promising direction, as attention mechanisms emphasize the relevant interactions from rich behaviors. However, the methods struggle to capture the preferences of tail users with sparse interaction histories. To address the problem, we propose a novel variational inference approach, namely Group Prior Sampler Variational Inference (GPSVI), which introduces group preferences as priors to refine latent user interests for tail users. In GPSVI, the extent of adjustments depends on the estimated uncertainty of individual preference modeling. In addition, We further enhance the expressive power of variational inference by a volume-preserving flow. An appealing property of the GPSVI method is its ability to revert to traditional attention for head users with rich behavioral data while consistently enhancing performance for long-tail users with sparse behaviors. Rigorous analysis and extensive experiments demonstrate that GPSVI consistently improves the performance of tail users. Moreover, online A/B testing on a large-scale real-world recommender system further confirms the effectiveness of our proposed approach.

Abstract: For superconducting quantum processors, stable high-fidelity two-qubit operations depend on precise flux control of the tunable coupler. However, the pulse distortion poses a significant challenge to the control precision. Current calibration methods, which often rely on microwave crosstalk or additional readout resonators for coupler excitation and readout, tend to be cumbersome and inefficient, especially when couplers only have flux control. Here, we introduce and experimentally validate a novel pulse calibration scheme that exploits the strong coupling between qubits and couplers, eliminating the need for extra coupler readout and excitation. Our method directly measures the short-time and long-time step responses of the coupler flux pulse transient, enabling us to apply predistortion to subsequent signals using fast Fourier transformation and deconvolution. This approach not only simplifies the calibration process but also significantly improves the precision and stability of the flux control. We demonstrate the efficacy of our method through the implementation of diabatic CZ and iSWAP gates with fidelities of $99.61\pm0.04\%$ and $99.82\pm0.02\%$, respectively, as well as a series of diabatic CPhase gates with high fidelities characterized by cross-entropy benchmarking. The consistency and robustness of our technique are further validated by the reduction in pulse distortion and phase error observed across multilayer CZ gates. These results underscore the potential of our calibration and predistortion method to enhance the performance of two-qubit gates in superconducting quantum processors., Comment: 16 pages, 11 figures, 7 tables

Abstract: Visual deep reinforcement learning (RL) enables robots to acquire skills from visual input for unstructured tasks. However, current algorithms suffer from low sample efficiency, limiting their practical applicability. In this work, we present MENTOR, a method that improves both the architecture and optimization of RL agents. Specifically, MENTOR replaces the standard multi-layer perceptron (MLP) with a mixture-of-experts (MoE) backbone, enhancing the agent's ability to handle complex tasks by leveraging modular expert learning to avoid gradient conflicts. Furthermore, MENTOR introduces a task-oriented perturbation mechanism, which heuristically samples perturbation candidates containing task-relevant information, leading to more targeted and effective optimization. MENTOR outperforms state-of-the-art methods across three simulation domains -- DeepMind Control Suite, Meta-World, and Adroit. Additionally, MENTOR achieves an average of 83% success rate on three challenging real-world robotic manipulation tasks including peg insertion, cable routing, and tabletop golf, which significantly surpasses the success rate of 32% from the current strongest model-free visual RL algorithm. These results underscore the importance of sample efficiency in advancing visual RL for real-world robotics. Experimental videos are available at https://suninghuang19.github.io/mentor_page.

Abstract: Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search (ANNS) is now widely used in various applications, ranging from information retrieval, question answering, and recommendation, to search for similar high-dimensional vectors. As the amount of vector data grows continuously, it becomes important to support updates to vector index, the enabling technique that allows for efficient and accurate ANNS on vectors. Because of the curse of high dimensionality, it is often costly to identify the right neighbors of a single new vector, a necessary process for index update. To amortize update costs, existing systems maintain a secondary index to accumulate updates, which are merged by the main index by global rebuilding the entire index periodically. However, this approach has high fluctuations of search latency and accuracy, not even to mention that it requires substantial resources and is extremely time-consuming for rebuilds. We introduce SPFresh, a system that supports in-place vector updates. At the heart of SPFresh is LIRE, a lightweight incremental rebalancing protocol to split vector partitions and reassign vectors in the nearby partitions to adapt to data distribution shift. LIRE achieves low-overhead vector updates by only reassigning vectors at the boundary between partitions, where in a high-quality vector index the amount of such vectors are deemed small. With LIRE, SPFresh provides superior query latency and accuracy to solutions based on global rebuild, with only 1% of DRAM and less than 10% cores needed at the peak compared to the state-of-the-art, in a billion scale vector index with 1% of daily vector update rate., Comment: SOSP 23

44. Towards High-Speed Passive Visible Light Communication with Event Cameras and Digital Micro-Mirrors

Author: Wang, Yanxiang, Shen, Yiran, Xu, Kenuo, Zhao, Guangrong, Hassan, Mahbub, Xu, Chenren, and Hu, Wen
Subjects: Computer Science - Networking and Internet Architecture
Abstract: Passive visible light communication (VLC) modulates light propagation or reflection to transmit data without directly modulating the light source. Thus, passive VLC provides an alternative to conventional VLC, enabling communication where the light source cannot be directly controlled. There have been ongoing efforts to explore new methods and devices for modulating light propagation or reflection. The state-of-the-art has broken the 100 kbps data rate barrier for passive VLC by using a digital micro-mirror device (DMD) as the light modulating platform, or transmitter, and a photo-diode as the receiver. We significantly extend this work by proposing a massive spatial data channel framework for DMDs, where individual channels can be decoded in parallel using an event camera at the receiver. For the event camera, we introduce event processing algorithms to detect numerous channels and decode bits from individual channels with high reliability. Our prototype, built with off-the-shelf event cameras and DMDs, can decode up to $\sim$2,000 parallel channels, achieving a data transmission rate of 1.6 Mbps, markedly surpassing current benchmarks by 16x., Comment: 14 pages, 21 figures, nonacm

Abstract: Lepton flavour universality in rare $b\rightarrow s$ transitions is tested for the first time using $B_s^0$ meson decays. The measurements are performed using $pp$ collision data collected by the LHCb experiment between 2011 and 2018, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 9$\,{\rm fb}^{-1}$. Branching fraction ratios between the $B_s^0 \rightarrow \phi e^+e^-$ and $B_s^0 \rightarrow \phi \mu^+\mu^-$ decays are measured in three regions of dilepton mass squared, $q^2$, with $0.1 < q^2 < 1.1$, $1.1 < q^2 < 6.0$, and $15 < q^2 < 19\,{\rm GeV}^2/c^4$. The results agree with the Standard Model expectation of lepton flavour universality., 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/3513/ (LHCb public pages)

Abstract: We present Movie Gen, a cast of foundation models that generates high-quality, 1080p HD videos with different aspect ratios and synchronized audio. We also show additional capabilities such as precise instruction-based video editing and generation of personalized videos based on a user's image. Our models set a new state-of-the-art on multiple tasks: text-to-video synthesis, video personalization, video editing, video-to-audio generation, and text-to-audio generation. Our largest video generation model is a 30B parameter transformer trained with a maximum context length of 73K video tokens, corresponding to a generated video of 16 seconds at 16 frames-per-second. We show multiple technical innovations and simplifications on the architecture, latent spaces, training objectives and recipes, data curation, evaluation protocols, parallelization techniques, and inference optimizations that allow us to reap the benefits of scaling pre-training data, model size, and training compute for training large scale media generation models. We hope this paper helps the research community to accelerate progress and innovation in media generation models. All videos from this paper are available at https://go.fb.me/MovieGenResearchVideos.

Abstract: The study of beta decay of the charmed baryon provides unique insights into the fundamental mechanism of the strong and electro-weak interactions. The $\Lambda_c^+$, being the lightest charmed baryon, undergoes disintegration solely through the charm quark weak decay. Its beta decay provides an ideal laboratory for investigating non-perturbative effects in quantum chromodynamics and for constraining the fundamental parameters of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix in weak interaction theory. This article presents the first observation of the Cabibbo-suppressed $\Lambda_c^+$ beta decay into a neutron $\Lambda_c^+ \rightarrow n e^+ \nu_{e}$, based on $4.5~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of electron-positron annihilation data collected with the BESIII detector in the energy region above the $\Lambda^+_c\bar{\Lambda}^-_c$ threshold. A novel machine learning technique, leveraging Graph Neural Networks, has been utilized to effectively separate signals from dominant backgrounds, particularly $\Lambda_c^+ \rightarrow \Lambda e^+ \nu_{e}$. This approach has yielded a statistical significance of more than $10\sigma$. The absolute branching fraction of $\Lambda_c^+ \rightarrow n e^+ \nu_{e}$ is measured to be $(3.57\pm0.34_{\mathrm{stat}}\pm0.14_{\mathrm{syst}})\times 10^{-3}$. For the first time, the CKM matrix element $\left|V_{cd}\right|$ is extracted via a charmed baryon decay to be $0.208\pm0.011_{\rm exp.}\pm0.007_{\rm LQCD}\pm0.001_{\tau_{\Lambda_c^+}}$. This study provides a new probe to further understand fundamental interactions in the charmed baryon sector, and demonstrates the power of modern machine learning techniques in enhancing experimental capability in high energy physics research., Comment: 28 pages, 6 figures

Abstract: Using $(27.12\pm 0.14)\times10^{8}$ $\psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, the decay $\chi_{c0}\to\Sigma^{+}\bar{\Sigma}^{-}\eta$ is observed for the first time with a statistical significance of $7.0\sigma$, and evidence for $\chi_{c1}\to\Sigma^{+}\bar{\Sigma}^{-}\eta$ and $\chi_{c2}\to\Sigma^{+}\bar{\Sigma}^{-}\eta$ is found with statistical significances of $4.3\sigma$ and $4.6\sigma$, respectively. The branching fractions are determined to be $\mathcal{B}(\chi_{c0}\to\Sigma^{+}\bar{\Sigma}^{-}\eta)=({1.26 \pm 0.20 \pm 0.13}) \times 10^{-4}, ~\mathcal{B}(\chi_{c1}\to\Sigma^{+}\bar{\Sigma}^{-}\eta)=({5.10 \pm 1.21 \pm 0.67}) \times 10^{-5}$, and $\mathcal{B}(\chi_{c2}\to\Sigma^{+}\bar{\Sigma}^{-}\eta)=({5.46 \pm 1.18 \pm 0.50}) \times 10^{-5}$, where the first uncertainties are statistical, and the second ones are systematic.

The ratio of the branching fractions of $\Lambda_c^{+}\to p\pi^0$ and $\Lambda_c^{+}\to p\eta$ is measured as $\mathcal{B}(\Lambda_c^{+}\to p\pi^0)/\mathcal{B}(\Lambda_c^{+}\to p\eta)=(0.120\pm0.026_{\rm stat.}\pm0.007_{\rm syst.})$. This result resolves the longstanding discrepancy between earlier experimental searches, providing both a decisive conclusion and valuable input for QCD-inspired theoretical models. A sophisticated deep learning approach using a Transformer-based architecture is employed to distinguish the signal from the prevalent hadronic backgrounds, complemented by thorough validation and systematic uncertainty quantification., Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures

Abstract: Referring 3D Segmentation is a visual-language task that segments all points of the specified object from a 3D point cloud described by a sentence of query. Previous works perform a two-stage paradigm, first conducting language-agnostic instance segmentation then matching with given text query. However, the semantic concepts from text query and visual cues are separately interacted during the training, and both instance and semantic labels for each object are required, which is time consuming and human-labor intensive. To mitigate these issues, we propose a novel Referring 3D Segmentation pipeline, Label-Efficient and Single-Stage, dubbed LESS, which is only under the supervision of efficient binary mask. Specifically, we design a Point-Word Cross-Modal Alignment module for aligning the fine-grained features of points and textual embedding. Query Mask Predictor module and Query-Sentence Alignment module are introduced for coarse-grained alignment between masks and query. Furthermore, we propose an area regularization loss, which coarsely reduces irrelevant background predictions on a large scale. Besides, a point-to-point contrastive loss is proposed concentrating on distinguishing points with subtly similar features. Through extensive experiments, we achieve state-of-the-art performance on ScanRefer dataset by surpassing the previous methods about 3.7% mIoU using only binary labels.
