description: Interpretability of artificial intelligence (AI) methods, particularly deep neural networks, is of great interest. This heightened focus stems from the widespread use of AI-backed systems. These systems, often relying on intricate neural architectures, can exhibit behavior that is challenging to explain and comprehend. The interpretability of such models is a crucial component of building trusted systems. Many methods exist to approach this problem, but they do not apply straightforwardly to the quantum setting. Here, we explore the interpretability of quantum neural networks using local model-agnostic interpretability measures commonly utilized for classical neural networks. Following this analysis, we generalize a classical technique called LIME, introducing Q-LIME, which produces explanations of quantum neural networks. A feature of our explanations is the delineation of the region in which data samples have been given a random label, likely subjects of inherently random quantum measurements. We view this as a step toward understanding how to build responsible and accountable quantum AI models.

The dawn is quiet here: Rise in [$α$/Fe] is a signature of massive gas accretion that fueled proto-Milky Way

description: The proto-Milky Way epoch forms the earliest stars in our Galaxy and sets the initial conditions for subsequent disk formation. Recent observations from APOGEE and H3 surveys showed that the [$α$/Fe] ratio slowly declined between [Fe/H] $=-3$ and $-1.3$ until it reached the lowest value ($\sim 0.25$) among the selected in situ metal-poor stars that most likely formed during the proto-Galaxy epoch. [$α$/Fe] rose to meet the traditional high value commonly associated with the thick disk population at [Fe/H] $=-1$. It was suggested that the rise in [$α$/Fe] could be caused by an increase in the star formation efficiency (SFE), known as the "simmering" phase scenario. However, gas inflow also plays a vital role in shaping the star formation history and chemical evolution of galaxies. We investigate this unexpected [$α$/Fe]-rise with a statistical experiment involving a galactic chemical evolution (GCE). Our model has five free parameters: the mass of the initial reservoir of the cold interstellar medium (ISM) at birth, the frequency of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), the cooling timescale of the warm ISM, the SFE, and the inflow rate of fresh gas. The last two free parameters were allowed to change after [$α$/Fe] reached its lowest value, dividing the proto-Galaxy epoch into two phases. We find that the rise in [$α$/Fe] is caused by a large inflow of fresh gas and conclude that the [$α$/Fe]-rise is a signature of the cold mode accretion whose materials formed the prototype Milky Way preceding disk formation. Although the SFE is essential in regulating the chemical evolution, it does not necessarily increase to facilitate the [$α$/Fe]-rise.

description: A fundamental question in QCD is the existence of a phase transition at large doping of quarks over antiquarks. We present the first prediction of a QCD critical point (CP) from a Bayesian analysis constrained by first principle results at zero doping. We employ the gauge/gravity duality to map QCD onto a theory of dual black holes. Predictions for the CP location in different realizations of the model overlap at one sigma. Even if many prior samples do not include a CP, one is found in nearly 100\% of posterior samples, indicating a strong preference for a CP.

description: Shape optimization has been playing an important role in a large variety of engineering applications. Existing shape optimization methods are generally mesh-dependent and therefore encounter challenges due to mesh deformation. To overcome this limitation, we present a new adjoint-oriented neural network method, AONN-2, for PDE-constrained shape optimization problems. This method extends the capabilities of the original AONN method [1], which is developed for efficiently solving parametric optimal control problems. AONN-2 inherits the direct-adjoint looping (DAL) framework for computing the extremum of an objective functional and the neural network methods for solving complicated PDEs from AONN. Furthermore, AONN-2 expands the application scope to shape optimization by taking advantage of the shape derivatives to optimize the shape represented by discrete boundary points. AONN-2 is a fully mesh-free shape optimization approach, naturally sidestepping issues related to mesh deformation, with no need for maintaining mesh quality and additional mesh corrections. A series of experimental results are presented, highlighting the flexibility, robustness, and accuracy of AONN-2.

description: We extend the behaviour of generic sample-based motion planners to support obstacle avoidance during long-range path following by introducing a new edge-cost metric paired with a curvilinear planning space. The resulting planner generates naturally smooth paths that avoid local obstacles while minimizing lateral path deviation to best exploit prior terrain knowledge from the reference path. In this adaptation, we explore the nuances of planning in the curvilinear configuration space and describe a mechanism for natural singularity handling to improve generality. We then shift our focus to the trajectory generation problem, proposing a novel Model Predictive Control (MPC) architecture to best exploit our path planner for improved obstacle avoidance. Through rigorous field robotics trials over 5 km, we compare our approach to the more common direct path-tracking MPC method and discuss the promise of these techniques for reliable long-term autonomous operations.

description: We describe a software package, TomOpt, developed to optimise the geometrical layout and specifications of detectors designed for tomography by scattering of cosmic-ray muons. The software exploits differentiable programming for the modeling of muon interactions with detectors and scanned volumes, the inference of volume properties, and the optimisation cycle performing the loss minimisation. In doing so, we provide the first demonstration of end-to-end-differentiable and inference-aware optimisation of particle physics instruments. We study the performance of the software on a relevant benchmark scenario and discuss its potential applications. Our code is available on Github.

description: In the ventral visual pathway, early visual areas encode light patterns on the retina in terms of image properties, for example, edges and color, whereas higher areas encode visual information in terms of objects and categories. At what point does semantic knowledge, as instantiated in human language, emerge? We examined this question by studying whether semantic similarity in language relates to the brain's organization of object representations in inferior temporal cortex (ITC), an area of the brain at the crux of several proposals describing how the brain might represent conceptual knowledge. Semantic relationships among words can be viewed as a geometrical structure with some pairs of words close in their meaning (e.g., man and boy) and other pairs more distant (e.g., man and tomato). ITC's representation of objects similarly can be viewed as a complex structure with some pairs of stimuli evoking similar patterns of activation (e.g., man and boy) and other pairs evoking very different patterns (e.g., man and tomato). In this study, we examined whether the geometry of visual object representations in ITC bears a correspondence to the geometry of semantic relationships between word labels used to describe the objects. We compared ITC's representation to semantic structure, evaluated by explicit ratings of semantic similarity and by five computational measures of semantic similarity. We show that the representational geometry of ITC—but not of earlier visual areas (V1)—is reflected both in explicit behavioral ratings of semantic similarity and also in measures of semantic similarity derived from word usage patterns in natural language. Our findings show that patterns of brain activity in ITC not only reflect the organization of visual information into objects but also represent objects in a format compatible with conceptual thought and language.
Star Formation And Agn Activity In The Most Luminous Liners In The Local Universe

description: We will present the properties of 42 objects in the group of the most luminous, highest star formation rate LINERs at z= 0.04 - 0.11. We obtained long-slit spectroscopy of the nuclear regions for all sources, and FIR data (Herschel and IRAS) for 13 of them. We measureed emission line intensities, extinction, stellar populations, stellar masses, ages, AGN luminosities, and star-formation rates. We found considerable differences from other low-redshift LINERs, in terms of extinction, and general similarity to star forming galaxies. We confirmed the existence of such luminous LINERs in the local universe, after being previously detected at z ∼0.3 by Tommasin et al. (2012). We found that most of these sources have LAGN ∼ LSF suggesting co-evolution of black hole and stellar mass. In addition, we saw that among local LINERs being on the main-sequence of SF galaxies is related to their AGN luminosity.

description: Earlier attempts at understanding international alignments and alliance structures are often rigid in the sense that they prioritize a specific policy domain or time frame in international politics to present these alignments in easy to comprehend ways. Borrowing from the methodologies of Natural Language Processing, unsupervised machine learning, and social network analysis, I choose the United Nations General Assembly resolutions and voting data as a proxy for diplomatic alignment and show that different issue areas in international politics will yield alliance structures that are often in disagreement with the most widely used frameworks but align with our understanding of the dynamism of modern international politics. Computational approaches can provide a more precise and time-sensitive framework to think about countries’ alliance strategies.

description: Thermodynamic analyses of dark energy as a relativistic fluid indicates that this intriguing component of the universe mimics a bulk viscous pressure when the parameter of its barotropic equation of state varies with time. Since in cosmology bulk viscosity and creation or destruction of matter are closely linked processes, we propose in this work a brief thermodynamic study of dark energy considering that particles can be created or destroyed in the fluid. We derive new expressions for quantities such as particle density, entropy density etc. that have been shown to be sensitive to this new ingredient. We also obtain new thermodynamic constraints and compare them with those where the number of particles is conserved. In particular, we found that in the presence of a sink, dark energy tends towards the cosmological constant over time regardless of the sign of its chemical potential and without violating the laws of thermodynamics.

description: The possibility of selecting magnetic space groups by orienting the magnetization direction or tuning magnetic orders offers a vast playground for engineering symmetry protected topological phases in magnetic materials. In this work, we study how selective tuning of symmetry and magnetism can influence and control the resulting topology in a 2D magnetic system, and illustrate such procedure in the ferromagnetic monolayer MnPSe$_3$. Density functional theory calculations reveals a symmetry-protected accidental semimetalic (SM) phase for out-of-plane magnetization which becomes an insulator when the magnetization is tilted in-plane, reaching band gap values close to $100$ meV. We identify an order-two composite antiunitary symmetry and threefold rotational symmetry that induce the band crossing and classify the possible topological phases using symmetry analysis, which we support with tight-binding and $\mathbf{k}\cdot\mathbf{p}$ models. Breaking of inversion symmetry opens a gap in the SM phase, giving rise to a Chern insulator. We demonstrate this explicitly in the isostructural Janus compound Mn$_2$P$_2$S$_3$Se$_3$, which naturally exhibits Rashba spin-orbit coupling that breaks inversion symmetry. Our results map out the phase space of topological properties of ferromagnetic transition metal phosphorus trichalcogenides and demonstrate the potential of the magnetization-dependent metal-to-insulator transition as a spin switch in integrated two-dimensional electronics.

description: This is the sequel of the recent work (Du, Huang, Pu, Commun. Math. Phys, 2023, doi: 10.1007/s00220-023-04651-7) on axially symmetric gravity water waves with general vorticities, which has investigated the singular wave profile of the free boundary near the degenerate points. In this companion paper, we are interested in the regularity of the free surface of the water wave near the non-degenerate point. Precisely, we showed that the free boundary is $C^{1,γ}$ smooth for some $γ\in(0,1)$ near all non-degenerate points. The problem is intrinsically intertwined with the regularity theory of the semilinear Bernoulli-type free boundary problem. Our approach is closely related to the monotonicity formula developed by Weiss in his celebrated work (Weiss, J. Geom. Anal. 9: 317-326, 1999), and to a partial boundary Harnack inequality for the one-phase free boundary problem, which is dedicated to De Silva (De Silva, Interfaces Free Bound. 13, 223-238, 2011). Mathematically, we associate the existence of viscosity solutions with the Weiss boundary-adjusted energy. Compared to the classical approach of Caffarelli (Caffarelli, Ann. Scuola Norm. Sup. Pisa, 15, 583-602, 1988), we provide an alternative proof of the existence of viscosity solutions for a large class of semilinear free boundary problems.

description: We introduce and study online conversion with switching costs, a family of online problems that capture emerging problems at the intersection of energy and sustainability. In this problem, an online player attempts to purchase (alternatively, sell) fractional shares of an asset during a fixed time horizon with length $T$. At each time step, a cost function (alternatively, price function) is revealed, and the player must irrevocably decide an amount of asset to convert. The player also incurs a switching cost whenever their decision changes in consecutive time steps, i.e., when they increase or decrease their purchasing amount. We introduce competitive (robust) threshold-based algorithms for both the minimization and maximization variants of this problem, and show they are optimal among deterministic online algorithms. We then propose learning-augmented algorithms that take advantage of untrusted black-box advice (such as predictions from a machine learning model) to achieve significantly better average-case performance without sacrificing worst-case competitive guarantees. Finally, we empirically evaluate our proposed algorithms using a carbon-aware EV charging case study, showing that our algorithms substantially improve on baseline methods for this problem.

description: Bulk PbSnSe has a two-phase region or miscibility gap as the crystal changes from a Van der Waals-bonded orthorhombic 2D layered structure in SnSe-rich compositions to the related 3D-bonded rocksalt structure in PbSe-rich compositions with large contrast in the electrical, optical, and thermal properties across this transition. With an aim to understand and harness this transition in thin films devices, we epitaxially integrate PbSnSe on GaAs by molecular beam epitaxy using an in-situ PbSe surface treatment and show a significantly reduced two-phase region by stabilizing the Pnma layered structure out to Pb$_{0.45}$Sn$_{0.55}$Se, beyond the bulk-limit of Pb$_{0.25}$Sn$_{0.75}$Se. Pushing further, we directly access metastable two-phase epitaxial films of layered and rocksalt grains that are nearly identical in composition around Pb$_{0.5}$Sn$_{0.5}$Se and entirely circumvent the miscibility gap. We present microstructural evidence for an incomplete displacive transformation from rocksalt to layered structure in these films that we speculate occurs during the sample cool down to room temperature after synthesis. In situ temperature-cycling experiments on a Pb$_{0.58}$Sn$_{0.42}$Se rocksalt film reproduce characteristic attributes of a displacive transition and show a modulation in electronic properties. We find well-defined orientation relationships between the phases formed and reveal unconventional strain relief mechanisms involved in the crystal structure transformation, using transmission electron microscopy. Overall, our work adds a scalable thin film integration route to harnessing the dramatic contrast in material properties in PbSnSe across a potentially ultrafast structural transition.

description: Over the past decade, deep neural networks have demonstrated significant success using the training scheme that involves mini-batch stochastic gradient descent on extensive datasets. Expanding upon this accomplishment, there has been a surge in research exploring the application of neural networks in other learning scenarios. One notable framework that has garnered significant attention is meta-learning. Often described as "learning to learn," meta-learning is a data-driven approach to optimize the learning algorithm. Other branches of interest are continual learning and online learning, both of which involve incrementally updating a model with streaming data. While these frameworks were initially developed independently, recent works have started investigating their combinations, proposing novel problem settings and learning algorithms. However, due to the elevated complexity and lack of unified terminology, discerning differences between the learning frameworks can be challenging even for experienced researchers. To facilitate a clear understanding, this paper provides a comprehensive survey that organizes various problem settings using consistent terminology and formal descriptions. By offering an overview of these learning paradigms, our work aims to foster further advancements in this promising area of research.

description: In this paper, we study degenerate or singular elliptic equations in divergence form $$-\text{div}(x_n^αA\nabla u)=\text{div}(x_n^α\mathbf{g})\quad\text{in }B_1\cap\{x_n>0\}.$$ When $α>-1$, we establish boundary Schauder type estimates under the conormal boundary condition on the flat boundary, provided that the coefficients satisfy Dini mean oscillation (DMO) type conditions. Additionally, as an application, we derive higher-order boundary Harnack principles for uniformly elliptic equations in divergence form with DMO coefficients.

description: Quantum devices such as spin qubits have been extensively investigated in electrostatically confined quantum dots using high-quality semiconductor heterostructures like GaAs and Si. Here, we present the first demonstration of electrostatically forming the quantum dots in ZnO heterostructures. Through the transport measurement, we uncover the distinctive signature of the Kondo effect independent of the even-odd electron number parity, which contrasts with the typical behavior of the Kondo effect in GaAs. By analyzing temperature and magnetic field dependences, we find that the absence of the even-odd parity in the Kondo effect is not straightforwardly interpreted by the considerations developed for conventional semiconductors. We propose that, based on the unique parameters of ZnO, electron correlation likely plays a fundamental role in this observation. Our study not only clarifies the physics of correlated electrons in the quantum dot but also holds promise for applications in quantum devices, leveraging the unique features of ZnO.

description: It is a fundamental question that why quantum mechanics uses complex numbers instead of only real numbers. To address this topic, recently, a rigorous resource theory for the imaginarity of quantum states were established, and several imaginarity measures were proposed. In this work, we propose a new imaginarity measure based on the Tsallis relative entropy. This imaginarity measure has explicit expression, and also, it is computable for bosonic Gaussian states.

An intelligent document analysis system for evaluating corporate governance practices based on SEC required filing
Creators: name: Zheng, Ying

description: (D. Sc.) -- Towson University, 2016
description: An IDA is an Intelligent Document Analysis System for Evaluating Corporate Governance Practices capable of retrieving required documentation of public companies from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and performing analysis and rating in terms of recommended corporate governance practices .

A desired IDA system must be loose coupling, cost-effective, efficient, accurate, as well as operate in real-time. Such a sophisticated system can help individual and institutional investors with evaluating individual companies’ corporate governance practices. With the techniques of analogical learning, local knowledge bases, databases, and question-dependent semantic networks, the IDA system is able to automatically evaluate the strengths, deficiencies, and risks of a company's corporate governance practices based on the documents stored in the SEC EDGAR database. (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 2013) A produced score reduces a complex corporate governance process and related policies into a single number which enables concerned government agencies, investors and legislators to easily review the governance characteristics of individual companies .

The present manual process not only incurs huge overhead costs, it also has the risk associated with human error and bias in their ratings. To reduce the cost, some companies outsource the job to other countries with a low labor cost. But the problems of how to timely respond to a changing world and constantly updating information remains unanswered. To address those challenges and corresponding issues, first, we developed a system with a user friendly interface and a collection of knowledge bases, databases and semantic networks, a rating engine and web portal. Then, we ran iterative tests and experiments to identify the drawbacks. Subsequently, we developed effective techniques to address the uncertainty of finding the correct answers, with the purpose of improving the system's performance and ensuring accuracy. Lastly, we investigated and implemented machine learning techniques to efficiently improve the process of the IDA System by using different methods of evaluating similarity.

description: This paper is a comprehensive literature review of Biased Random-Key Genetic Algorithms (BRKGA). BRKGA is a metaheuristic that employs random-key-based chromosomes with biased, uniform, and elitist mating strategies in a genetic algorithm framework. The review encompasses over 150 papers with a wide range of applications, including classical combinatorial optimization problems, real-world industrial use cases, and non-orthodox applications such as neural network hyperparameter tuning in machine learning. Scheduling is by far the most prevalent application area in this review, followed by network design and location problems. The most frequent hybridization method employed is local search, and new features aim to increase population diversity. Overall, this survey provides a comprehensive overview of the BRKGA metaheuristic and its applications and highlights important areas for future research.

Business Cycle Analysis of China 1980-2019
Creators: name: Zhang, Chenming
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Business Cycle
subject: Chinese Economy

description: This research analyzes the business cycle of China’s economy from 1980 to 2019. The main finding is that before the global financial crisis, shocks to efficiency, capital, and government expenditure can all contribute to the fluctuation of the business cycle but after the crisis, these relations suddenly disappear. This change may reflect the changes in the logic of China’s economic development that before the crisis, the economy was mainly influenced by the economic reforms pushed forward by the central government, while the global financial crisis changed this pattern, and the new pattern has not been observed by this research.

description: Endowed with the binary operation of set addition, the family $\mathcal P_{{\rm fin},0}(\mathbb N)$ of all finite subsets of $\mathbb N$ containing $0$ forms a monoid, with the singleton $\{0\}$ as its neutral element.
 We show that the only non-trivial automorphism of $\mathcal P_{{\rm fin},0}(\mathbb N)$ is the involution $X \mapsto \max X - X$. The proof leverages ideas from additive number theory and proceeds through an unconventional induction on what we call the boxing dimension of a finite set of integers, that is, the smallest number of (discrete) intervals whose union is the set itself.
