description: In an earlier work, we introduced dual-Parameterized Quantum Circuit (PQC) Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), an advanced prototype of a quantum GAN. We applied the model on a realistic High-Energy Physics (HEP) use case: the exact theoretical simulation of a calorimeter response with a reduced problem size. This paper explores the dual- PQC GAN for a more practical usage by testing its performance in the presence of different types of quantum noise, which are the major obstacles to overcome for successful deployment using near-term quantum devices. The results propose the possibility of running the model on current real hardware, but improvements are still required in some areas.

description: A complete census of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) is a prerequisite for understanding the growth of supermassive black holes across cosmic time. A significant challenge toward this goal is the whereabouts of heavily obscured AGN that remain uncertain. This paper sets new constraints on the demographics of this population by developing a methodology that combines X-ray spectral information with priors derived from multiwavelength observations. We select X-ray AGN in the Chandra COSMOS Legacy survey and fit their $2.2-500μm$ spectral energy distributions with galaxy and AGN templates to determine the mid-infrared ($6μm$) luminosity of the AGN component. Empirical correlations between X-ray and $6μm$ luminosities are then adopted to infer the intrinsic accretion luminosity at X-rays for individual AGN. This is used as prior information in our Bayesian X-ray spectral analysis to estimate physical properties, such as line-of-sight obscuration. Our approach breaks the degeneracies between accretion luminosity and obscuration that affect X-ray spectral analysis, particularly for the most heavily obscured (Compton-Thick) AGN with low photon counts X-ray spectra. The X-ray spectral results are then combined with the selection function of the Chandra COSMOS Legacy survey to derive the AGN space density and a Compton-Thick fraction of $21.0^{+16.1}_{-9.9}\%$ at redshifts $z<0.5$. At higher redshift, our analysis suggests upper limits to the Compton-Thick AGN fraction of $\le 40\%$. These estimates are at the low end of the range of values determined in the literature and underline the importance of multiwavelength approaches for tackling the challenge of heavily obscured AGN demographics.

Quantifier Acquisition: Presuppositions of “every”
Creators: name: Yatsushiro, Kazuko
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2019

description: Three components of determiner meanings – truth conditions, implicatures, and presuppositions – have been identified. One of the major findings in acquisition, related to the truth conditions of the quantifiers, has been that children go through at least two stages of non-adult interpretation of the quantifier every (Philip, 1995). More recently, researchers (Noveck, 2001; Gualmini et al., 2001; Chierchia, 2001b; Papafragou & Musolino, 2003) have shown that children understand quantifiers logically in a context where adults derive scalar implicatures (for example, some vs. all ). In this paper, I focus on the third component of the determiner meaning, presupposition. Using Felicity Judgment Task, I argue that children acquire the lexical presupposition earlier than the implicated presupposition, and that the acquisition path of implicated presupposition resembles more closely that of scalar implicatures.

Substitution Puzzles and Substitutional Semantics
Creators: name: Wieckowski, Bartosz
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2019

description: Substitution failure is usually said to occur when a change from one co-referential name to another affects the truth value of the sentence. Taking the idea seriously that non-referring names like ‘Superman’ and ‘Clark Kent’ are indeed names and that they do not refer (to anything whatsoever), it is argued that the usual characterization does not only give rise to theories which inflate ontology but that it falls short of capturing substitution puzzles about constructions which involve nonreferring terms. The paper suggests a more general characterization of substitution failure and proposes an account of (ignorant and enlightened) anti-substitution intuitions which does not invoke referents at all. The account is made formally precise in terms of associative substitutional semantics.

description: We present the development of an automated testing system for the VMM hybrid of the RD51 collaboration. The VMM hybrid is a new front-end board for the RD51 common readout system, the Scalable Readout System, and will become the workhorse for the next decade to read out Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detectors. It uses the VMM chip developed for the ATLAS New Small Wheel to convert charge signals from detectors to digital data. Our testing system automatically characterises the quality of the VMM chips on the hybrid after production during multiple tests. Results are evaluated to classify the chips and hybrids and uploaded to a database. We evaluated those results for the first two production batches to measure the production yield. The yield is better than the threshold below which chip testing on a wafer level offers financial benefits. Observations on prominent chip failures were propagated back to the hybrid production process to further increase the yield for future productions.

description: In order to characterize the higher order moments of the particle multiplicity, we implement the linear-sigma model with Polyakov-loop correction. We first studied the critical phenomena and estimated some thermodynamic quantities. Then, we compared all these results with the first--principle lattice QCD calculations. Then, the extensive study of non-normalized four moments is followed by investigating their thermal and density dependence. We repeat this for moments normalized to temperature and chemical potential. The fluctuations of the second order moment is used to estimate the chiral phase--transition. Then, we implement all these in mapping out the chiral phase transition, which shall be compared with the freeze-out parameters estimated from the lattice QCD simulations and the thermal models are compared with the chiral phase--diagram.

Article Use Across Languages: an OT Typology
Creators: name: De Swart, Henriëtte
name: Zwarts, Joost
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2019

description: Many languages use definite and indefinite articles to signal the referential status of individuals in conversational space. But articles are not necessary to set up or maintain discourse reference, as witnessed by the fact that languages can also get by with bare nominals. Similarly, we find that many, but not all languages use a morphological singular/plural contrast to distinguish reference to atoms from reference to sums. We assume that an awareness of discourse reference and atomic/sum reference is part of universal human cognition. The balance between economy considerations (favoring bare nominals) and the desire to convey (discourse) referential distinctions determines whether these cognitive operations are reflected in the form nominals take in the language. A range of possible OT grammars is discussed, and exemplified. The cross-linguistic semantics of bare nominals is related to these grammars. Bare nominals have the interpretations that are not blocked by other, more specific forms.

description: In deep reinforcement learning (RL), data augmentation is widely considered as a tool to induce a set of useful priors about semantic consistency and improve sample efficiency and generalization performance. However, even when the prior is useful for generalization, distilling it to RL agent often interferes with RL training and degenerates sample efficiency. Meanwhile, the agent is forgetful of the prior due to the non-stationary nature of RL. These observations suggest two extreme schedules of distillation: (i) over the entire training; or (ii) only at the end. Hence, we devise a stand-alone network distillation method to inject the consistency prior at any time (even after RL), and a simple yet efficient framework to automatically schedule the distillation. Specifically, the proposed framework first focuses on mastering train environments regardless of generalization by adaptively deciding which {\it or no} augmentation to be used for the training. After this, we add the distillation to extract the remaining benefits for generalization from all the augmentations, which requires no additional new samples. In our experiments, we demonstrate the utility of the proposed framework, in particular, that considers postponing the augmentation to the end of RL training.

description: Contrary to what has been widely assumed, this paper argues that quantification into quotations is possible. In particular, it is shown that quantification over expressions, or metalinguistic quantification, is attested in natural language quotations. The empirical evidence comes from Japanese wh-doublets, which only appear in quotations and which are interpreted as indefinites ranging over expressions.

description: We report a detailed study of dc magnetization and ac susceptibility performed on the zero field cooled (ZFC) and field cooled (FC) state of polycrystalline AuFe(11%) alloy. The temperature variation of ZFC and FC dc magnetization at low fields show a distinct peak around Tf = 33 K, which indicates the cooperative freezing of the finite size spin clusters. A weak thermomagnetic irreversibility between ZFC and FC magnetization appears at a temperature Tir, which is slightly below Tf. The ZFC ac susceptibility shows a sharp cusp at Tf, which shifts towards higher temperatures with an increase in the frequency of the ac magnetic field. When ac susceptibility is recorded after cooling the sample from high temperature in the presence of dc bias magnetic field, the susceptibility cusp gets broadened. In this case, no perceptible frequency dependency of the Tf has been observed, but a significant dispersion in the ac susceptibility is present below Tf. This clearly indicates the non-equilibrium nature of the FC state.In addition, the FC state of AuFe(11%) alloy exhibits a pronounced memory effect which further underlines that the FC state is not an equilibrium state. In contrast to the general perception obtained through the meanfield theories of thermodynamic phase transition in spin-glass envisaging the FC state to be an equilibrium state, the present experimental results clearly indicate that the energy landscape of the FC state of AuFe(11%) alloy is a nontrivial one

description: Accessibility percolation is a new type of percolation problem inspired by evolutionary biology: a random number, called its fitness, is assigned to each vertex of a graph, then a path in the graph is accessible if fitnesses are strictly increasing through it. In the Rough Mount Fuji (RMF) model the fitness function is defined on the graph as $ω(v)=η(v)+θ\cdot d(v)$, where $θ$ is a positive number called the drift, $d$ is the distance to the source of the graph and $η(v)$ are i.i.d. random variables. In this paper we determine values of $θ$ for having RMF accessibility percolation on the hypercube and the two-dimensional lattices $\mathbb{L}^2$ and $\mathbb{L}^2_{alt}$.

The strong stationary dual chains are all sharp and have the same state space as original chains.

This method provides an easy way to find eigenvalues in the Ising model and for a random walk on hypercube.

description: Black hole horizons interact with external fields when matter-energy falls through them. Such non-stationary black hole horizons can be described using viscous fluid equations. This work attempts to describe this process using effective field theory methods. Such a description can provide important insights beyond classical black hole physics. In this work, we construct a low-energy effective field theory description for the horizon fluid of a 4-dimensional, asymptotically flat, Einstein black hole. The effective field theory of the dynamical horizon has two ingredients: degrees of freedom involved in the interaction with external fields and symmetry. The dual requirements of incorporating near-horizon symmetries (${\cal S}1$ diffeomorphism) and possessing length scales due to external perturbations is naturally satisfied if the theory on the non-stationary black hole horizon is a deformed Conformal Field Theory (CFT). For the homogeneous external perturbations, at the lowest order, this leads to $(2 + 1)-$dimensional massive scalar field where the mass is related to the extent of the deformation of the CFT. We determine the mass by obtaining the correlation function corresponding to the effective field and relating it to the bulk viscosity of the horizon fluid. Additionally, we show that the coefficient of bulk viscosity of the horizon fluid determines the time required for black holes to scramble. Furthermore, we argue that matter-field modes with energy less than $m_{\rm eff}$ falling into the horizon thermalize more slowly. Finally, we construct a microscopic toy model for the horizon fluid that reduces to the effective field theory with a single scalar degree of freedom. We then discuss the usefulness of the effective field model in understanding how information escapes from a black hole at late times.

description: This study investigates the different novel forms of the dynamical equations of a particle orbiting a rotating asteroid and the effective potential, the Jacobi integral, etc. on different manifolds. Nine new forms of the dynamical equations of a particle orbiting a rotating asteroid are presented, and the classical form of the dynamical equations has also been found. The dynamical equations with the potential and the effective potential in scalar form in the arbitrary body-fixed frame and the special body-fixed frame are presented and discussed. Moreover, the simplified forms of the effective potential and the Jacobi integral have been derived. The dynamical equation in coefficient-matrix form has been derived. Other forms of the dynamical equations near the asteroid are presented and discussed, including the Lagrange form, the Hamilton form, the symplectic form, the Poisson form, the Poisson-bracket form, the cohomology form, and the dynamical equations on the Kähler manifold and another complex manifold. Novel forms of the effective potential and the Jacobi integral are also presented. The dynamical equations in scalar form and coefficient-matrix form can aid in the study of the dynamical system, the bifurcation, and the chaotic motion of the orbital dynamics of a particle near a rotating asteroid. The dynamical equations of a particle near a rotating asteroid are presented on several manifolds, including the symplectic manifold, the Poisson manifold, and complex manifolds, which may lead to novel methods of studying the motion of a particle in the potential field of a rotating asteroid.

description: Due to the extensive use of information technology and the recent developments in multimedia systems, the amount of multimedia data available to users has increased exponentially. Video is an example of multimedia data as it contains several kinds of data such as text, image, meta-data, visual and audio. Content based video retrieval is an approach for facilitating the searching and browsing of large multimedia collections over WWW. In order to create an effective video retrieval system, visual perception must be taken into account. We conjectured that a technique which employs multiple features for indexing and retrieval would be more effective in the discrimination and search tasks of videos. In order to validate this, content based indexing and retrieval systems were implemented using color histogram, Texture feature (GLCM), edge density and motion..

description: The evidential (reportative) uses of the German modals sollen ‘should’ and wollen ‘want’ are typically given a purely modal analysis that yields correct predictions for unembedded cases, but fails to account for many embedded occurrences. Based on a corpus and a questionnaire study it is argued that these modals can receive three distinct kinds of interpretation when they occur embedded in clausal complements (partly dependent on the embedding predicate). A revised analysis of reportative sollen is offered that involves a reportative presupposition and a conditionally activated assertive component.

description: This paper proposes a new look at the so-called 'present-perfect puzzle'. It suggests that it is in fact part of a bigger problem, concerning all tenses in a language situating an event one step before the moment of utterance. I argue that present perfects compete with simple past tenses, and that the distribution of these tenses shows signs of the impact of this competition. The outcome of the competition is argued to be heavily dependent on which of the two tense-forms is the default. A pragmatic theory is proposed which accounts for the reduced distribution of the present perfect in languages like English and Spanish, and the reduced distribution of the simple past tense in languages like French and German.

description: The paper presents an additional argument for a specific account of semantic binding: the flat-binding analysis. The argument is based on observations concerning sloppy interpretations in verb phrase ellipsis when the binder is not the subject of the elided VP. In one such case, it is important that one of the binders belong to the domain of the other. This case can be derived from the flat-binding analysis as is shown in the paper, while it is unclear how to account for it within other analyses of semantic binding.

description: We present the Chasing the Identification of ASCA Galactic Objects (ChIcAGO) survey, which is designed to identify the unknown X-ray sources discovered during the ASCA Galactic Plane Survey (AGPS). Little is known about most of the AGPS sources, especially those that emit primarily in hard X-rays (2-10 keV) within the F_x ~ 10^-13 to 10^-11 erg cm^-2 s^-1 X-ray flux range. In ChIcAGO, the subarcsecond localization capabilities of Chandra have been combined with a detailed multi-wavelength follow-up program, with the ultimate goal of classifying the >100 unidentified sources in the AGPS. Overall to date, 93 unidentified AGPS sources have been observed with Chandra as part of the ChIcAGO survey. A total of 253 X-ray point sources have been detected in these Chandra observations within 3' of the original ASCA positions. We have identified infrared and optical counterparts to the majority of these sources, using both new observations and catalogs from existing Galactic plane surveys. X-ray and infrared population statistics for the X-ray point sources detected in the Chandra observations reveal that the primary populations of Galactic plane X-ray sources that emit in the F_x ~ 10^-13 to 10^-11 erg cm^-2 s^-1 flux range are active stellar coronae, massive stars with strong stellar winds that are possibly in colliding-wind binaries, X-ray binaries, and magnetars. There is also a fifth population that is still unidentified but, based on its X-ray and infrared properties, likely comprise partly of Galactic sources and partly of active galactic nuclei.

This also includes maximally twisted mass QCD relying on automatic O$(a)$ improvement. At O$(a^2)$, all cases considered have $\min_i\hatΓ_i\gtrsim -0.3$ if $N_\mathrm{f}\leq 4$, which ensures that the leading order lattice artifacts are not severely logarithmically enhanced in contrast to the O$(3)$ non-linear sigma model [1,2]. However, we find a very dense spectrum of these leading powers, which may result in major pile-ups and cancellations. We present in detail the computational strategy employed to obtain the 1-loop anomalous dimensions already used in [3].

Not 'Nearly' Synonymous. Similarities and Differences between 'almost' and 'nearly'
Creators: name: Pozzan, Lucia
name: Schweitzer, Susan
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2019

description: In this paper we look at the difference in distribution and meaning between almost and nearly. Nearly has to do with expectations and is in general uneasy as a modifier of negative quantifiers, while it is grammatical in the scope of negation. On the other hand, almost is at best marginal in the scope of negation (unless an echo context is provided) and in combination with the NPI any. We propose that, when nearly is in the scope of negation, it loses its scalar component and its literal meaning of physical proximity can be accessed by negation and modified by it. This accounts for the particular interpretation of nearly under negation. To account for the contextual expectations raised by nearly, we suggest that the operator EVEN is instantiated by the presence of nearly and that EVEN does not interfere with the alternatives made salient by scalar operators like almost and nearly (contra Penka, 2005). We then propose an alternative explanation for the ungrammaticality of the combination between almost- NPI any and the acceptability of nearly-NPI any.

description: We perform molecular dynamics simulations to compress binary hard spheres into jammed packings as a function of the compression rate $R$, size ratio $α$, and number fraction $x_S$ of small particles to determine the connection between the glass-forming ability (GFA) and packing efficiency in bulk metallic glasses (BMGs). We define the GFA by measuring the critical compression rate $R_c$, below which jammed hard-sphere packings begin to form "random crystal" structures with defects. We find that for systems with $α\gtrsim 0.8$ that do not de-mix, $R_c$ decreases strongly with $Δϕ_J$, as $R_c \sim \exp(-1/Δϕ_J^2)$, where $Δϕ_J$ is the difference between the average packing fraction of the amorphous packings and random crystal structures at $R_c$. Systems with $α\lesssim 0.8$ partially de-mix, which promotes crystallization, but we still find a strong correlation between $R_c$ and $Δϕ_J$. We show that known metal-metal BMGs occur in the regions of the $α$ and $x_S$ parameter space with the lowest values of $R_c$ for binary hard spheres. Our results emphasize that maximizing GFA in binary systems involves two competing effects: minimizing $α$ to increase packing efficiency, while maximizing $α$ to prevent de-mixing.

description: Semiconductor transistors are essential elements of electronic circuits as they enable, for example, the isolation or amplification of voltage signals. While conventional transistors are point-type (lumped-element) devices, it may be highly interesting to realize a distributed transistor-type optical response in a bulk material. Here, we show that low-symmetry two-dimensional metallic systems may be the ideal solution to implement such a distributed-transistor response. To this end, using the semiclassical Boltzmann equation approach, we characterize the optical conductivity of a two-dimensional material under a static electric bias. It is found that similar to the nonlinear Hall effect, the electron transport depends on the Berry curvature dipole. Our analysis reveals that the electro-optic effect modifies the optical conductivity of the material, breaking the electromagnetic reciprocity and yielding a dynamical response that imitates that of a transistor but in a distributed volume. Furthermore, the effective conductivity tensor can be non-Hermitian, opening the possibility of optical gain. To maximize the non-Hermitian response, we explore the specific case of strained twisted bilayer graphene. Our analysis reveals that the optical gain for incident light transmitted through the biased system depends on the light polarization, and can be quite large, especially for multilayer configurations.

description: As the information contained within the web is increasing day by day, organizing this information could be a necessary requirement.The data mining process is to extract information from a data set and transform it into an understandable structure for further use. Classification of web page content is essential to many tasks in web information retrieval such as maintaining web directories and focused crawling.The uncontrolled type of nature of web content presents additional challenges to web page classification as compared to the traditional text classification, but the interconnected nature of hypertext also provides features that can assist the process. In this paper the web classification is discussed in detail and its importance in field of data mining is explored.

description: Optical properties and sensing capabilities of fused silica microbubbles were studied numerically using a finite element method. Mode characteristics, such as quality factor (Q) and effective refractive index, were determined for different bubble diameters and shell thicknesses. For sensing applications with whispering gallery modes (WGMs), thinner shells yield improved sensitivity. However, the Q-factor decreases with reduced thickness and this limits the final resolution. Three types of sensing applications with microbubbles, based on their optimized geometrical parameters, were studied. Herein the so-called quasi-droplet regime is defined and discussed. It is shown that best resolution can be achieved when microbubbles act as quasi-droplets, even for water-filled cavities at the telecommunications C-band.
Stereotypes, Desires, and Constructions

description: This paper develops a semantic analysis of the three constructions: (i) the subjectoriented adverb construction (Wisely, John left early), (ii) the 'Adj. + to Inf.' construction (John was wise to leave early), and (iii) the 'Adj. + of NP' construction (It was wise of John to leave early), which all involve three semantic components: (i) an individual a (John), (ii) a property P1 that describes a mental/behavioral propensity (wise), and (iii) another property P2 which typically describes an action (leave early). I argue that the three constructions share the meaning along the lines of: 'P2(a), and P2 is one of the properties that are expected to be true of any x such that P1(x)', while they differ as to which component they assert/pressupose. I further demonstrate that this analysis allows us to solve two known semantic puzzles concerning these constructions, the "entailement puzzle" and the "embeddability puzzle".

description: We report on the observation of magnetic quantum ratchet effect in metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistors on silicon surface (Si-MOSFETs). We show that the excitation of an unbiased transistor by ac electric field of terahertz radiation at normal incidence leads to a direct electric current between the source and drain contacts if the transistor is subjected to an in-plane magnetic field. The current rises linearly with the magnetic field strength and quadratically with the ac electric field amplitude. It depends on the polarization state of the ac field and can be induced by both linearly and circularly polarized radiation. We present the quasi-classical and quantum theories of the observed effect and show that the current originates from the Lorentz force acting upon carriers in asymmetric inversion channels of the transistors.

description: Medical images are widely used in clinical practice for diagnosis. Automatically generating interpretable medical reports can reduce radiologists' burden and facilitate timely care. However, most existing approaches to automatic report generation require sufficient labeled data for training. In addition, the learned model can only generate reports for the training classes, lacking the ability to adapt to previously unseen novel diseases. To this end, we propose a lesion guided explainable few weak-shot medical report generation framework that learns correlation between seen and novel classes through visual and semantic feature alignment, aiming to generate medical reports for diseases not observed in training. It integrates a lesion-centric feature extractor and a Transformer-based report generation module. Concretely, the lesion-centric feature extractor detects the abnormal regions and learns correlations between seen and novel classes with multi-view (visual and lexical) embeddings. Then, features of the detected regions and corresponding embeddings are concatenated as multi-view input to the report generation module for explainable report generation, including text descriptions and corresponding abnormal regions detected in the images. We conduct experiments on FFA-IR, a dataset providing explainable annotations, showing that our framework outperforms others on report generation for novel diseases.
