description: We propose observable bounds for Gaussian illumination to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio, which minimizes the discrimination error between the presence and absence of a low-reflectivity target using Gaussian states. The observable bounds are achieved with mode-by-mode measurements. In the quantum regime using a two-mode squeezed vacuum state, our observable receiver outperforms the other feasible receivers whereas it cannot approach the quantum Chernoff bound. The corresponding observable cannot be implemented with heterodyne detections due to the additional vacuum noise. In the classical regime using a thermal state, a receiver implemented with a photon number difference measurement approaches its bound regardless of the signal mean photon number, while it asymptotically approaches the classical bound in the limit of a huge idler mean photon number.

description: Representing various networked data as multiplex networks, networks of networks and other multilayer networks can reveal completely new types of structures in these system. We introduce a general and principled graphlet framework for multilayer networks which allows one to break any multilayer network into small multilayered building blocks. These multilayer graphlets can be either analyzed themselves or used to do tasks such as comparing different systems. The method is flexible in terms of multilayer isomorphism, automorphism orbit definition, and the type of multilayer network. We illustrate our method for multiplex networks and show how it can be used to distinguish networks produced with multiple models from each other in an unsupervised way. In addition, we include an automatic way of generating the hundreds of dependency equations between the orbit counts needed to remove redundant orbit counts. The framework introduced here allows one to analyze multilayer networks with versatile semantics, and these methods can thus be used to analyze the structural building blocks of myriad multilayer networks.

description: With the intense interest in small, noisy quantum computing devices comes the push for larger, more accurate -- and hence more useful -- quantum computers. While fully fault-tolerant quantum computers are, in principle, capable of achieving arbitrarily accurate calculations using devices subjected to general noise, they require immense resources far beyond our current reach. An intermediate step would be to construct quantum computers of limited accuracy enhanced by lower-level, and hence lower-cost, noise-removal techniques. This is the motivation for our work, which looks into fault-tolerant encoded quantum computation targeted at the dominant noise afflicting the quantum device. Specifically, we develop a protocol for fault-tolerant encoded quantum computing components in the presence of amplitude-damping noise, using a 4-qubit code and a recovery procedure tailored to such noise. We describe a universal set of fault-tolerant encoded gadgets and compute the pseudothreshold for the noise, below which our scheme leads to more accurate computation. Our work demonstrates the possibility of applying the ideas of quantum fault tolerance to targeted noise models, generalizing the recent pursuit of biased-noise fault tolerance beyond the usual Pauli noise models. We also illustrate how certain aspects of the standard fault tolerance intuition, largely acquired through Pauli-noise considerations, can fail in the face of more general noise.

description: Modeling complex phenomena typically involves the use of both discrete and continuous variables. Such a setting applies across a wide range of problems, from identifying trends in time-series data to performing effective compositional scene understanding in images. Here, we propose Hybrid Memoised Wake-Sleep (HMWS), an algorithm for effective inference in such hybrid discrete-continuous models. Prior approaches to learning suffer as they need to perform repeated expensive inner-loop discrete inference. We build on a recent approach, Memoised Wake-Sleep (MWS), which alleviates part of the problem by memoising discrete variables, and extend it to allow for a principled and effective way to handle continuous variables by learning a separate recognition model used for importance-sampling based approximate inference and marginalization. We evaluate HMWS in the GP-kernel learning and 3D scene understanding domains, and show that it outperforms current state-of-the-art inference methods.

Riletture visive vn The death of Klinghoffer di John Adams

Year: 2020

description: The death of Klinghoffer debuttò sulla scena teatrale nel 1991; nel 2003 fu riproposto come film televisivo: esiste dunque in almeno due versioni d’autore. Qui studio il mutamento di drammaturgia che si realizza all’atto della rimediazione di un’opera lirica quando passa da un’arte della distanza come è il teatro a un’arte della prossimità come il cinema. Forme musicali pervadono gli stilemi del cinema d’azione e ne mettono in luce risvolti inconsueti; il film d’azione esalta il realismo del dramma su soggetto contemporaneo. Le sequenze visive cambiano la drammaturgia complessiva dello spettacolo musicale, e a sua volta, la musica presta alle immagini strutture organizzative solitamente ad esse estranee in un dialogo proficuo tra i diversi media.

description: The contactless estimation of the weight of a container and the amount of its content manipulated by a person are key pre-requisites for safe human-to-robot handovers. However, opaqueness and transparencies of the container and the content, and variability of materials, shapes, and sizes, make this estimation difficult. In this paper, we present a range of methods and an open framework to benchmark acoustic and visual perception for the estimation of the capacity of a container, and the type, mass, and amount of its content. The framework includes a dataset, specific tasks and performance measures. We conduct an in-depth comparative analysis of methods that used this framework and audio-only or vision-only baselines designed from related works. Based on this analysis, we can conclude that audio-only and audio-visual classifiers are suitable for the estimation of the type and amount of the content using different types of convolutional neural networks, combined with either recurrent neural networks or a majority voting strategy, whereas computer vision methods are suitable to determine the capacity of the container using regression and geometric approaches. Classifying the content type and level using only audio achieves a weighted average F1-score up to 81% and 97%, respectively. Estimating the container capacity with vision-only approaches and estimating the filling mass with audio-visual multi-stage approaches reach up to 65% weighted average capacity and mass scores. These results show that there is still room for improvement on the design of new methods. These new methods can be ranked and compared on the individual leaderboards provided by our open framework.

description: Cyber defense is reactive and slow. On average, the time-to-remedy is hundreds of times larger than the time-to-compromise. In response to the expanding ever-more-complex threat landscape, Digital Twins (DTs) and particularly Human Digital Twins (HDTs) offer the capability of running massive simulations across multiple knowledge domains. Simulated results may offer insights into adversaries' behaviors and tactics, resulting in better proactive cyber-defense strategies. For the first time, this paper solidifies the vision of DTs and HDTs for cybersecurity via the Cybonto conceptual framework proposal. The paper also contributes the Cybonto ontology, formally documenting 108 constructs and thousands of cognitive-related paths based on 20 time-tested psychology theories. Finally, the paper applied 20 network centrality algorithms in analyzing the 108 constructs. The identified top 10 constructs call for extensions of current digital cognitive architectures in preparation for the DT future.

On the critical editing of electronic and mixed music. Historical matters and new perspectives
Creators: name: Cossettini, Luca
name: Orcalli, Angelo
Publisher: name: Pavia University Press - Edizioni dell'Università degli Studi di Pavia
Year: 2020

description: Today, the sources of electronic and mixed music produced in the XXth century by analog means have entered the digital documentary domain. Therefore, the theoretical reflection on the ethics of preservation, restoration and re-issue of audiovisual documents cannot ignore the models of communication engineering: encodeing and decoding, audio signal processing – also implemented in the World Wide Web today – are of paramount importance. After World War II, a new musical research was born within the context of acoustical and electro-acoustical communication systems and it found a privileged thread in the Theory of Information. In the world of electronic and mixed music the technological system is an integral part of the compositional project, and the audio tracks represent a ‘projection’ of the production project. Audio recordings deliver to the editor an essential evidence for reconstructing the technical and theoretical world of the composers, which is to say their pre-post-history. In this paper, the meta-conceptual role of Information and Communication Theory is historized and it becomes an integral part of a systemic method for the restitution of the electronic musical work. With a wide range of examples (including works by Edgard Varèse, Luigi Nono, Bruno Maderna, Gérard Grisey) we show peculiarities and issues of the critical editing of this repertoire.

The chorale Saint Michel Archanges in Cremona (Lombardy, Italy) between locality and translocality

Year: 2020

description: As part of a larger fieldwork project on music and migration in Cremona (Lombardy, Italy) and its surroundings, I have been studying the musics of migrants’ rituals since 2015. In the kaleidoscopic religious soundscape made up of more than 15 churches and temples – from Sikh, to Orthodox, to Buddhist – a larger part is made up of Christian Africans. Their religious practice is organised by faith and nationality, thus most of them have specific churches and priests. But the chants they sing tell a story of multiple ethnic and local belongings, a richness of musical specificities and languages that comes from the various cultural capitals of the participants who mix nationality with place of origin, ethnicity, nation of reception, Christianity and Africanness. Furthermore, an attempt by the Diocese to create a single transnational community of African Francophone Christian churches is taking place. In my article I concentrate my attention on the role music has in these rituals. Which belongings does it express? Music can tell more than what the actors intend to represent with words.

description: In a two-dimensional conformal field theory with a moving mirror, known as a moving mirror model, the time evolution of the entanglement entropy shows a Page like curve. This implies that the moving mirror model is useful to understand the island formula. In this paper, we study the time evolution of the subregion CV complexity in the moving mirror model for a better understanding of the island formula of the complexity. In contrast to the entanglement entropy, the subregion CV complexity shows a peculiar behaviour. We discuss this behaviour in more detail.

Instabilities of spin-1 Kitaev spin liquid phase in presence of single-ion anisotropies

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: We study the spin-one Kitaev model on the honeycomb lattice in the presence of single-ion anisotropies. We consider two types of single ion anisotropies: A $D_{111}$ anisotropy which preserves the symmetry between $X$, $Y$, and $Z$ bonds but violates flux conservation and a $D_{100}$ anisotropy that breaks the symmetry between $X$, $Y$, and $Z$ bonds but preserves flux conservation. We use series expansion methods, degenerate perturbation theory, and exact diagonalization to study these systems. Large positive $D_{111}$ anisotropy leads to a simple product ground state with conventional magnon-like excitations, while large negative $D_{111}$ leads to a broken symmetry and degenerate ground states. For both signs there is a phase transition at a small $|D_{111}| \approx 0.12$ separating the more conventional phases from the Kitaev spin liquid phase. With large $D_{100}$ anisotropy, the ground state is a simple product state, but the model lacks conventional dispersive excitations due to the large number of conservation laws. Large negative $D_{100}$ leads to decoupled one-dimensional systems and many degenerate ground states. No evidence of a phase transition is seen in our numerical studies at any finite $D_{100}$. Convergence of the series expansion extrapolations all the way to $D_{100}=0$ suggests that the nontrivial Kitaev spin liquid is a singular limit of this type of single-ion anisotropy going to zero, which also restores symmetry between the $X$, $Y$, and $Z$ bonds.

Derivation of a one-dimensional von Kármán theory for viscoelastic ribbons

description: We consider a two-dimensional model of viscoelastic von Kármán plates in the Kelvin's-Voigt's rheology derived from a three-dimensional model at a finite-strain setting. As the width of the plate goes to zero, we perform a dimension-reduction from 2D to 1D and identify an effective one-dimensional model for a viscoelastic ribbon comprising stretching, bending, and twisting both in the elastic and the viscous stress. Our arguments rely on the abstract theory of gradient flows in metric spaces by Sandier and Serfaty and complement the $Γ$-convergence analysis of elastic von Kármán ribbons in [Freddi et al., 2018]. Besides convergence of the gradient flows, we also show convergence of associated time-discrete approximations, and we provide a corresponding commutativity result.

description: For an abelian surface $A$, we explicitly construct two new families of stable vector bundles on the generalized Kummer variety $K_n(A)$ for $n\geqslant 2$. The first is the family of tautological bundles associated to stable bundles on $A$, and the second is the family of the "wrong-way" fibers of a universal family of stable bundles on the dual abelian surface $\widehat{A}$ parametrized by $K_n(A)$. Each family exhibits a smooth connected component in the moduli space of stable bundles on $K_n(A)$, which is holomorphic symplectic but not simply connected, contrary to the case of K3 surfaces.

description: Marketing is a part of every cattle operation that participates in the sale of an animal to generate income. Feeder cattle are the most widely marketed animals and have traditionally and most commonly been marketed using private treaty and weekly auction markets. These two marketing methods are favored by many cattle producers because they are convenient and have relatively low marketing costs. Other marketing methods available to producers include graded feeder sales, marketing alliances (cooperative marketing), video sales and internet sales. The focus of this publication is educating cattle producers concerning cooperative marketing of feeder cattle. Our purpose is to 1) define cooperative marketing for feeder cattle and discuss factors to consider when establishing a cooperative marketing effort and the different forms it may take; 2) outline the benefits and potential challenges of cooperatively marketing feeder cattle; and 3) quantify the added value cooperative marketing generates utilizing sale results from the Tennessee Beef Alliance, an established feeder cattle marketing alliance in Middle Tennessee.
latentcor: An R Package for estimating latent correlations from mixed data types

description: We present `latentcor`, an R package for correlation estimation from data with mixed variable types. Mixed variables types, including continuous, binary, ordinal, zero-inflated, or truncated data are routinely collected in many areas of science. Accurate estimation of correlations among such variables is often the first critical step in statistical analysis workflows. Pearson correlation as the default choice is not well suited for mixed data types as the underlying normality assumption is violated. The concept of semi-parametric latent Gaussian copula models, on the other hand, provides a unifying way to estimate correlations between mixed data types. The R package `latentcor` comprises a comprehensive list of these models, enabling the estimation of correlations between any of continuous/binary/ternary/zero-inflated (truncated) variable types. The underlying implementation takes advantage of a fast multi-linear interpolation scheme with an efficient choice of interpolation grid points, thus giving the package a small memory footprint without compromising estimation accuracy. This makes latent correlation estimation readily available for modern high-throughput data analysis.

description: Ferromagnetic spin-valves and tunneling junctions are crucial for spintronics applications and are one of the most fundamental spintronics devices. Motivated by the potential unique advantages of antiferromagnets for spintronics, we theoretically study here junctions built out of non-collinear antiferromagnets. We demonstrate a large and robust magnetoresistance and spin-transfer torque capable of ultrafast switching between parallel and anti-parallel states of the junction. In addition, we show that the non-collinear order results in a spin-transfer torque that is in several key aspects different from the spin-transfer torque in ferromagnetic junctions.

description: Tit-for-Tat strategy is a strategy in repeated two-player symmetric games which imitates the previous action of the opponent. We show that the Tit-for-Tat strategy is a zero-determinant strategy, which unilaterally equalizes the expected payoffs of two players, if and only if the stage game is a potential game. Because it has been known that this condition is equivalent to the condition that the Tit-for-Tat strategy is unbeatable, our results suggest some relation between unbeatable property and the concept of zero-determinant strategy.

description: Over the past two decades, complex network theory provided the ideal framework for investigating the intimate relationships between the topological properties characterizing the wiring of connections among a system's unitary components and its emergent synchronized functioning. An increased number of setups from the real world found therefore a representation in term of graphs, while more and more sophisticated methods were developed with the aim of furnishing a realistic description of the connectivity patterns under study. In particular, a significant number of systems in physics, biology and social science features a time-varying nature of the interactions among their units. We here give a comprehensive review of the major results obtained by contemporary studies on the emergence of synchronization in time-varying networks. In particular, two paradigmatic frameworks will be described in details. The first encompasses those systems where the time dependence of the nodes' connections is due to adaptation, external forces, or any other process affecting each of the links of the network. The second framework, instead, corresponds to the case in which the structural evolution of the graph is due to the movement of the nodes, or agents, in physical spaces and to the fact that interactions may be ruled by space-dependent laws in a way that connections are continuously switched on and off in the course of the time. Finally, our report ends with a short discussion on promising directions and open problems for future studies.

description: Testing is widely recognized as an important stage of the software development lifecycle. Effective software testing can provide benefits such as bug finding, preventing regressions, and documentation. In terms of documentation, unit tests express a unit's intended functionality, as conceived by the developer. A test oracle, typically expressed as an condition, documents the intended behavior of a unit under a given test prefix. Synthesizing a functional test oracle is a challenging problem, as it must capture the intended functionality rather than the implemented functionality. In this paper, we propose TOGA (a neural method for Test Oracle GenerAtion), a unified transformer-based neural approach to infer both exceptional and assertion test oracles based on the context of the focal method. Our approach can handle units with ambiguous or missing documentation, and even units with a missing implementation. We evaluate our approach on both oracle inference accuracy and functional bug-finding. Our technique improves accuracy by 33\% over existing oracle inference approaches, achieving 96\% overall accuracy on a held out test dataset. Furthermore, we show that when integrated with a automated test generation tool (EvoSuite), our approach finds 57 real world bugs in large-scale Java programs, including 30 bugs that are not found by any other automated testing method in our evaluation.

description: Primordial magnetic fields could explain the large-scale magnetic fields present in the Universe. Inflation and phase transitions in the early Universe could give rise to such fields with unique characteristics. We investigate the magneto-hydrodynamic evolution of these magnetogenesis scenarios with cosmological simulations. We evolve inflation-generated magnetic fields either as (i) uniform (homogeneous) or as (ii) scale-invariant stochastic fields, and phase transition-generated ones either as (iii) helical or as (iv) non-helical fields from the radiation-dominated epoch. We find that the final distribution of magnetic fields in the simulated cosmic web shows a dependence on the initial strength and the topology of the seed field. Thus, the observed field configuration retains information on the initial conditions at the moment of the field generation. If detected, primordial magnetic field observations would open a new window for indirect probes of the early universe. The differences between the competing models are revealed on the scale of galaxy clusters, bridges, as well as filaments and voids. The distinctive spectral evolution of different seed fields produces imprints on the correlation length today. We discuss how the differences between rotation measures from highly ionized regions can potentially be probed with forthcoming surveys.

Cavity-Altered Thermal Isomerization Rates and Dynamical Resonant Localization in Vibro-Polaritonic Chemistry

description: It has been experimentally demonstrated that reaction rates for molecules embedded in microfluidic optical cavities are altered when compared to rates observed under "ordinary" reaction conditions. However, precise mechanisms of how strong coupling of an optical cavity mode to molecular vibrations affect the reactivity and how resonance behavior emerges are still under dispute. In the present work, we approach these mechanistic issues from the perspective of a thermal model reaction, the inversion of ammonia along the umbrella mode, in presence of a single cavity mode of varying frequency and coupling strength. A topological analysis of the related cavity Born-Oppenheimer potential energy surface in combination with quantum mechanical and transition state theory rate calculations reveals two quantum effects, leading to decelerated reaction rates in qualitative agreement with experiments: The stiffening of quantized modes perpendicular to the reaction path at the transition state, which reduces the number of thermally accessible reaction channels, and the broadening of the barrier region which attenuates tunneling. We find these two effects to be very robust in a fluctuating environment, causing statistical variations of potential parameters such as the barrier height. Further, by solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation in the vibrational strong coupling regime, we identify a resonance behavior, in qualitative agreement with experimental and earlier theoretical work. The latter manifests as reduced reaction probability, when the cavity frequency $ω_c$ is tuned resonant to a molecular reactant frequency. We find this effect to be based on the dynamical localization of the vibro-polaritonic wavepacket in the reactant well.

description: We present an analysis of 991 heartbeat stars (HBSs) from the OGLE Collection of Variable Stars (OCVS). The sample consists of 512 objects located toward the Galactic bulge (GB), 439 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and 40 in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). We model the $I$-band OGLE light curves using an analytical model of flux variations, reflecting tidal deformations between stars. We present distributions of the model parameters that include the eccentricity, orbital inclination, and argument of the periastron, but also the period-amplitude diagrams. On the Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram, our HBS sample forms two separate groups of different evolutionary status. The first group of about 90 systems, with short orbital periods ($P\lesssim50$~days), consists of an early-type primary star lying on (or close to) the main sequence (MS). The second group of about 900 systems, with long orbital periods ($P\gtrsim100$~days), contains a red giant (RG). The position of RG HBSs on the period-luminosity diagram strongly indicates their binary nature. They appear to be a natural extension of confirmed binary systems that include the OGLE ellipsoidal and Long Secondary Period (LSP) variables. We also present a time-series analysis leading to detection of tidally-excited oscillations (TEOs). We identify such pulsations in about 5\% of stars in the sample with a total number of 78 different modes. This first relatively large homogeneous sample of TEOs allowed us to construct a diagram revealing the correlation between the TEO's orbital harmonic number and the eccentricity of the host binary system.
