Sensor Fusion in Neural Networks For Object Detection

description: Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)
description: Object detection is an increasingly popular tool used in many fields, especially in the development of autonomous vehicles. The task of object detections involves the localization of objects in an image, constructing a bounding box to determine the presence and location of the object, and classifying each object into its appropriate class. Object detection applications are commonly implemented using convolutional neural networks along with the construction of feature pyramid networks to extract data. Another commonly used technique in the automotive industry is sensor fusion. Each automotive sensor – camera, radar, and lidar – have their own advantages and disadvantages. Fusing two or more sensors together and using the combined information is a popular method of balancing the strengths and weakness of each independent sensor. Together, using sensor fusion within an object detection network has been found to be an effective method of obtaining accurate models. Accurate detections and classifications of images is a vital step in the development of autonomous vehicles or self-driving cars. Many studies have proposed methods to improve neural networks or object detection networks. Some of these techniques involve data augmentation and hyperparameter optimization. This thesis achieves the goal of improving a camera and radar fusion network by implementing various techniques within these areas. Additionally, a novel idea of integrating a third sensor, the lidar, into an existing camera and radar fusion network is explored in this research work. The models were trained on the Nuscenes dataset, one of the biggest automotive datasets available today. Using the concepts of augmentation, hyperparameter optimization, sensor fusion, and annotation filters, the CRF-Net was trained to achieve an accuracy score that was 69.13% higher than the baseline.

description: The biological turn in computing has influenced the development of algorithmic control and what I call the vital network: a dynamic, relational, and generative assemblage that is self-organizing in response to the heterogeneity of contemporary network processes, connections, and communication. I discuss this biological turn in computation and control for communication alongside historically significant developments in cybernetics that set out the foundation for the development of self-regulating computer systems. Control is shifting away from models that historically relied on the human-animal model of cognition to govern communication and control, as in early cybernetics and computer science, to a decentred, nonhuman model of control by algorithm for communication and networks. To illustrate the rise of contemporary algorithmic control, I outline a particular example, that of the biologically-inspired routing algorithm known as a ‘quorum sensing’ algorithm. The increasing expansion of algorithms as a sense-making apparatus is important in the context of social media, but also in the subsystems that coordinate networked flows of information. In that domain, algorithms are not inferring categories of identity, sociality, and practice associated with Internet consumers, rather, these algorithms are designed to act on information flows as they are transmitted along the network. The development of autonomous control realized through the power of the algorithm to monitor, sort, organize, determine, and transmit communication is the form of control emerging as a postscript to Gilles Deleuze’s ‘postscript on societies of control.’
Kitaev chain in an alternating quantum dot-Andreev bound state array

description: We propose to implement a Kitaev chain based on an array of alternating normal and superconductor hybrid quantum dots embedded in semiconductors. In particular, the orbitals in the dot and the Andreev bound states in the hybrid are now on equal footing and both emerge as low-energy degrees of freedom in the Kitaev chain, with the couplings being induced by direct tunneling. Due to the electron and hole components in the Andreev bound state, this coupling is simultaneously of the normal and Andreev types, with their ratio being tunable by varying one or several of the experimentally accessible physical parameters, e.g., strength and direction of the Zeeman field, as well as changing proximity effect on the normal quantum dots. As such, it becomes feasible to realize a two-site Kitaev chain in a simple setup with only one normal quantum dot and one hybrid segment. Interestingly, when scaling up the system to a three-site Kitaev chain, next-nearest-neighbor couplings emerge as a result of high-order tunneling, lifting the Majorana zero energy at the sweet spot. This energy splitting is mitigated in a longer chain, approaching topological protection. Our proposal has two immediate advantages: obtaining a larger energy gap from direct tunneling and creating a Kitaev chain using a reduced number of quantum dots and hybrid segments.

description: We use a combination of effective field theory and the renormalization group to determine the impact of radiative corrections on the nucleon-nucleon potential and the binding energy of the deuteron. In order to do so, we present a modified version of pionless effective field theory inspired by earlier work in nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics. The renormalization group improvement of the deuteron binding energy leads to a shift on the order of a few percent and is consistent with the experimental value. This work serves as a starting point for a dedicated study of radiative corrections in few-body systems relevant for precision tests of the Standard Model in an effective field theory framework.

description: With the explosion of multimedia content, video moment retrieval (VMR), which aims to detect a video moment that matches a given text query from a video, has been studied intensively as a critical problem. However, the existing VMR framework evaluates video moment retrieval performance, assuming that a video is given, which may not reveal whether the models exhibit overconfidence in the falsely given video. In this paper, we propose the MVMR (Massive Videos Moment Retrieval for Faithfulness Evaluation) task that aims to retrieve video moments within a massive video set, including multiple distractors, to evaluate the faithfulness of VMR models. For this task, we suggest an automated massive video pool construction framework to categorize negative (distractors) and positive (false-negative) video sets using textual and visual semantic distance verification methods. We extend existing VMR datasets using these methods and newly construct three practical MVMR datasets. To solve the task, we further propose a strong informative sample-weighted learning method, CroCs, which employs two contrastive learning mechanisms: (1) weakly-supervised potential negative learning and (2) cross-directional hard-negative learning. Experimental results on the MVMR datasets reveal that existing VMR models are easily distracted by the misinformation (distractors), whereas our model shows significantly robust performance, demonstrating that CroCs is essential to distinguishing positive moments against distractors. Our code and datasets are publicly available: https://github.com/yny0506/Massive-Videos-Moment-Retrieval.

description: We provide the analytic waveform in time domain for the scattering of two Kerr black holes at leading order in the post-Minkowskian expansion and up to fourth order in both spins. The result is obtained by the generalization of the KMOC formalism to radiative observables, combined with the analytic continuation of the five-point scattering amplitude to complex kinematics. We use analyticity arguments to express the waveform directly in terms of the three-point coupling of the graviton to the spinning particles and the gravitational Compton amplitudes, completely bypassing the need to compute and integrate the five-point amplitude. In particular, this allows to easily include higher-order spin contributions for any spinning compact body. Finally, in the spinless case we find a new compact and gauge-invariant representation of the Kovacs-Thorne waveform.

description: In general, robotic dexterous hands are equipped with various sensors for acquiring multimodal contact information such as position, force, and pose of the grasped object. This multi-sensor-based design adds complexity to the robotic system. In contrast, vision-based tactile sensors employ specialized optical designs to enable the extraction of tactile information across different modalities within a single system. Nonetheless, the decoupling design for different modalities in common systems is often independent. Therefore, as the dimensionality of tactile modalities increases, it poses more complex challenges in data processing and decoupling, thereby limiting its application to some extent. Here, we developed a multimodal sensing system based on a vision-based tactile sensor, which utilizes visual representations of tactile information to perceive the multimodal contact information of the grasped object. The visual representations contain extensive content that can be decoupled by a deep neural network to obtain multimodal contact information such as classification, position, posture, and force of the grasped object. The results show that the tactile sensing system can perceive multimodal tactile information using only one single sensor and without different data decoupling designs for different modal tactile information, which reduces the complexity of the tactile system and demonstrates the potential for multimodal tactile integration in various fields such as biomedicine, biology, and robotics.

description: Hyperbolic graph convolutional networks (HGCNs) have demonstrated significant potential in extracting information from hierarchical graphs. However, existing HGCNs are limited to shallow architectures due to the computational expense of hyperbolic operations and the issue of over-smoothing as depth increases. Although treatments have been applied to alleviate over-smoothing in GCNs, developing a hyperbolic solution presents distinct challenges since operations must be carefully designed to fit the hyperbolic nature. Addressing these challenges, we propose DeepHGCN, the first deep multi-layer HGCN architecture with dramatically improved computational efficiency and substantially reduced over-smoothing. DeepHGCN features two key innovations: (1) a novel hyperbolic feature transformation layer that enables fast and accurate linear mappings, and (2) techniques such as hyperbolic residual connections and regularization for both weights and features, facilitated by an efficient hyperbolic midpoint method. Extensive experiments demonstrate that DeepHGCN achieves significant improvements in link prediction and node classification tasks compared to both Euclidean and shallow hyperbolic GCN variants.

description: A connected matching in a graph G consists of a set of pairwise disjoint edges whose covered vertices induce a connected subgraph of G. While finding a connected matching of maximum cardinality is a well-solved problem, it is NP-hard to determine an optimal connected matching in an edge-weighted graph, even in the planar bipartite case. We present two mixed integer programming formulations and a sophisticated branch-and-cut scheme to find weighted connected matchings in general graphs. The formulations explore different polyhedra associated to this problem, including strong valid inequalities both from the matching polytope and from the connected subgraph polytope. We conjecture that one attains a tight approximation of the convex hull of connected matchings using our strongest formulation, and report encouraging computational results over DIMACS Implementation Challenge benchmark instances. The source code of the complete implementation is also made available.

description: With the advent of spoken dialogue systems (SDS), communication can no longer be considered a human-to-human transaction. It now involves machines. These mechanisms are not just a medium through which human messages pass, but now occupy the position of the other in social interactions. But the development of robust and efficient conversational agents is not just an engineering challenge. It also depends on research in human conversational behavior. It is the thesis of this paper that communication studies is best situated to respond to this need. The paper argues: 1) that research in communication can supply the information necessary to respond to and resolve many of the open problems in SDS engineering, and 2) that the development of SDS applications can provide the discipline of communication with unique opportunities to test extant theory and verify experimental results. We call this new area of interdisciplinary collaboration “computational interpersonal communication” (CIC).

description: When facing a new motion-planning problem, most motion planners solve it from scratch, e.g., via sampling and exploration or starting optimization from a straight-line path. However, most motion planners have to experience a variety of planning problems throughout their lifetimes, which are yet to be leveraged for future planning. In this paper, we present a simple but efficient method called Motion Memory, which allows different motion planners to accelerate future planning using past experiences. Treating existing motion planners as either a closed or open box, we present a variety of ways that Motion Memory can contribute to reduce the planning time when facing a new planning problem. We provide extensive experiment results with three different motion planners on three classes of planning problems with over 30,000 problem instances and show that planning speed can be significantly reduced by up to 89% with the proposed Motion Memory technique and with increasing past planning experiences.

description: We investigate the intra-waveguide statistics manipulation of broadband light by combining semiconductor quantum dot physics with quantum optics. By cooling a quantum dot superluminescent diode to liquid nitrogen temperature of $77K$, Blazek et al. [Phys. Rev. A 84, 63840 (2011)] have demonstrated a temperature-dependent reduction of the second-order intensity correlation coefficient from two for thermal amplified spontaneous emission light to $g^{(2)}(T=190 K)\approx 1.33$. Here, we model the broadband photon statistics assuming amplified spontaneous emission radiation in a pumped, saturable quantum dot gain medium. We demonstrate that, by an intensity increase due to the quantum dot occupation dynamics via the temperature-tuned quasi Fermi levels, together with the saturation nonlinearity, a statistics manipulation from thermal Bose-Einstein statistics towards Poissonian statistics can be realized, thus producing "silent white light". Such intensity-noise reduced broadband radiation is relevant for many applications like optical coherence tomography, optical communication or optical tweezers.

Then we study states in super Hilbert spaces using super-bra/super-ket formalism in details. The qubit (qudit) and superqubit (superqudit) are defined as linear spans in the corresponding Hilbert subspaces. A new kind of superqubit carring the odd parity is introduced. The multi-superqubit states are studied, and the superconcurrence which distinguishes separable states is proposed.

description: Bound states in the continuum (BICs) defy conventional wisdom that assumes a spectral separation between propagating waves, that carry energy away, and spatially localized waves corresponding to discrete frequencies. They can be described as resonance states with infinite lifetime, i.e., leaky modes with zero leakage. The advent of metamaterials and nanophotonics allowed the creation of BICs in a variety of systems. Mainly, BICs have been realized by destructive interference between outgoing resonant modes or exploiting engineered global symmetries that enforce the decoupling of a symmetry-incompatible bound mode from the surrounding radiation modes. Here, we introduce theoretically BICs relying on a different mechanism, namely local symmetries that enforce a field concentration on a part of a complex system without implying any global symmetry. We experimentally implement such BICs using microwaves in a compact one-dimensional photonic network and show that they emerge from the annihilation of two topological singularities, a zero and a pole, of the measured scattering matrix. Our alternative for achieving BICs in complex wave systems may be useful for applications like sensing, lasing, and enhancement of nonlinear interactions that require high-$Q$ modes.

description: In graphene devices, the electronic drift velocity can easily exceed the speed of sound in the material at moderate current biases. Under this condition, the electronic system can efficiently amplify acoustic phonons, leading to the exponential growth of sound waves in the direction of the carrier flow. Here, we demonstrate that such phonon amplification can significantly modify the electrical properties of graphene devices. We observe a super-linear growth of the resistivity in the direction of the carrier flow when the drift velocity exceeds the speed of sound, causing up to a 7 times increase over 8 micrometers. The resistance growth is observable for carrier densities away from the Dirac point and is enhanced at cryogenic temperatures. These observations are explained by a theoretical model for the electrical-amplification of acoustic phonons, which reach frequencies up to 2.2 terahertz with the nanoscale wavelength set by gate-tunable ~kF transitions across the Fermi surface. These findings offer a route to high-frequency on-chip sound generation and detection, which can be used to modulate and probe electronic physics in van der Waals heterostructures in the terahertz frequency range.

Where is the Digital Divide? Examining the Impact of Socioeconomics on Security and Privacy Outcomes

description: The behavior of the least-secure user can influence security and privacy outcomes for everyone else. Thus, it is important to understand the factors that influence these outcomes across a broad variety of people. Prior work has suggested that users with differing socioeconomic status (SES) may behave differently; however, no research has examined how people's SES, advice sources, and the resources available to them interact to affect their actual security and privacy outcomes. To address this question, we analyze a 3,000 respondent, census-representative telephone survey. We find that, contrary to prior assumptions, low-SES people have equal or better outcomes than those with higher SES, and that users' outcomes are most significantly related to their advice sources, regardless of SES or resources. We make recommendations for rethinking the development and provisioning of advice, as well as for reconsidering how we think about the digital divide with respect to security and privacy.

description: Tailoring light-matter interaction is essential to realize nanophotonic components. It can be achieved with surface phonon polaritons (SPhPs), an excitation of photons coupled with phonons of polar crystals, which also occur in 2d materials such as hexagonal boron nitride or anisotropic crystals. Ultra-confined resonances are observed by restricting the SPhPs to cavities. Phase-change materials (PCMs) enable non-volatile programming of these cavities based on a change in the refractive index. Recently, the new plasmonic PCM In$_3$SbTe$_2$ (IST) was introduced which can be reversibly switched from an amorphous dielectric state to a crystalline metallic one in the entire infrared to realize numerous nanoantenna geometries. However, reconfiguring SPhP resonators to modify the confined polaritons modes remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate direct programming of confined SPhP resonators by phase-switching IST on top of a polar silicon carbide crystal and investigate the strongly confined resonance modes with scanning near-field optical microscopy. Reconfiguring the size of the resonators themselves result in enhanced mode confinements up to a value of $λ/35$. Finally, unconventional cavity shapes with complex field patterns are explored as well. This study is a first step towards rapid prototyping of reconfigurable SPhP resonators that can be easily transferred to hyperbolic and anisotropic 2d materials.

description: The three observational runs of advanced LIGO and Virgo detectors have detected $\sim$ 90 compact binary coalescence events with most of them being quasicircular compact binary merger events. Astrophysical models predict compact binary mergers with appreciable nonzero eccentricity if in dense stellar environments like globular clusters, active galactic nuclei discs. Gravitational wave searches from eccentric systems are either limited to very low eccentricities or rely on model-agnostic time-frequency-based searches. Typically, gravitational waves from eccentric systems with moderate eccentricities carry non-negligible energy in the eccentric higher-order modes. In this work, using the effective chirp mass model [N. Bose and A. Pai, Phys. Rev. D 104, 124021 (2021)] developed using EccentricTD waveform, we develop a phenomenological scaling relation for the eccentric higher-order mode time-frequency track. Further, we incorporate this additional information from the higher-order eccentric mode for nonspinning, stellar mass eccentric binaries to improve the constraint on eccentricity.

description: Layered cuprates offer a preferential playground for optical non-linearity thanks to the emergence, below Tc, of soft out-of-plane Josephson plasmons. The hallmark of such a non-linearity is the observation of Third Harmonic Generation, that has been theoretically understood as a sum-frequency process involving a two-plasmon excitation. However, recent experiments in cuprates with two planes per unit cell challenge this interpretation, due to the lack of resonant response at the temperature where the driving frequency matches the plasma energy scale, as observed instead in single-layer cuprates. Here we show that such an apparent discrepancy in bilayer systems can be resolved by taking into account the combined effect of light polarization and Josephson-coupling anisotropy on setting the energy range where three-dimensional layered plasma modes can be resonantly excited. Our results offer a novel perspective on the possibility to tune on demand high-harmonic generation by artificially designing Josephson heterostructures.

description: Let X be the blow-up of the projective plane in a finite set of very general points. We deduce from the work of Uehara that X has only standard autoequivalences, no nontrivial Fourier-Mukai partners, and admits no spherical objects. If X is the blow-up of the projective plane in 9 very general points, we provide an alternate and direct proof of the corresponding statement. Further, we show that the same result holds if X is a blow-up of finitely many points in a minimal surface of nonnegative Kodaira dimension which contains no (-2)-curves. Independently, we characterize spherical objects on blow-ups of minimal surfaces of positive Kodaira dimension.

description: This paper addresses the Graph Matching problem, which consists of finding the best possible alignment between two input graphs, and has many applications in computer vision, network deanonymization and protein alignment. A common approach to tackle this problem is through convex relaxations of the NP-hard \emph{Quadratic Assignment Problem} (QAP).
 Here, we introduce a new convex relaxation onto the unit simplex and develop an efficient mirror descent scheme with closed-form iterations for solving this problem. Under the correlated Gaussian Wigner model, we show that the simplex relaxation admits a unique solution with high probability. In the noiseless case, this is shown to imply exact recovery of the ground truth permutation. Additionally, we establish a novel sufficiency condition for the input matrix in standard greedy rounding methods, which is less restrictive than the commonly used `diagonal dominance' condition. We use this condition to show exact one-step recovery of the ground truth (holding almost surely) via the mirror descent scheme, in the noiseless setting. We also use this condition to obtain significantly improved conditions for the GRAMPA algorithm [Fan et al. 2019] in the noiseless setting.

description: We study many-body phase transitions in a one-dimensional ferromagnetic transversed field Ising model with an imaginary field and show that the system exhibits three phase transitions: one second-order phase transition and two $\mathcal{PT}$ phase transitions. The second-order phase transition occurring in the ground state is investigated via biorthogonal and self-normal entanglement entropy, for which we develop an approach to perform finite-size scaling theory to extract the central charge for small systems. Compared with the second-order phase transition, the first $\mathcal{PT}$ transition is characterized by the appearance of an exceptional point in the full energy spectrum, while the second $\mathcal{PT}$ transition only occurs in specific excited states. Furthermore, we interestingly show that both of exceptional points are second-order in terms of scalings of imaginary parts of the energy. This work provides an exact solution for many-body phase transitions in non-Hermitian systems.
