Scheduled Sampling for Transformers

Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)

description: Scheduled sampling is a technique for avoiding one of the known problems in sequence-to-sequence generation: exposure bias. It consists of feeding the model a mix of the teacher forced embeddings and the model predictions from the previous step in training time. The technique has been used for improving the model performance with recurrent neural networks (RNN). In the Transformer model, unlike the RNN, the generation of a new word attends to the full sentence generated so far, not only to the last word, and it is not straightforward to apply the scheduled sampling technique. We propose some structural changes to allow scheduled sampling to be applied to Transformer architecture, via a two-pass decoding strategy. Experiments on two language pairs achieve performance close to a teacher-forcing baseline and show that this technique is promising for further exploration.

description: Bohm Mechanics and Nelson Stochastic Mechanics are confronted with Quantum Mechanics in presence of non-interacting subsystems. In both cases, it is shown that correlations at different times of compatible position observables on stationary states agree with Quantum Mechanics only in the case of product wave functions. By appropriate Bell-like inequalities it is shown that no classical theory, in particular no stochastic process, can reproduce the quantum mechanical correlations of position variables of non interacting systems at different times.

description: We report on the discovery of a white dwarf companion to the nearby late G dwarf star, HD 159062. The companion is detected in 14 years of precise radial velocity (RV) data, and in high-resolution imaging observations. RVs of HD 159062 from 2003-2018 reveal an acceleration of $-13.3\pm0.12\ \rm{m s}^{-1}$, indicating that it hosts a companion with a long-period orbit. Subsequent imaging observations with the ShaneAO system on the Lick Observatory 3-meter Shane telescope, the PHARO AO system on the Palomar Observatory 5-meter telescope, and the NIRC2 AO system at the Keck II 10-meter telescope reveal a faint companion 2.7'' from the primary star. We performed relative photometry, finding $ΔJ = 10.09 \pm 0.38$ magnitudes, $ΔK_{S} = 10.06 \pm 0.22$ magnitudes, and $ΔL' = 9.67\pm0.08$ magnitudes for the companion from these observations. Analysis of the radial velocities, astrometry, and photometry reveals that the combined data set can only be reconciled for the scenario where HD 159062 B is a white dwarf. A full Bayesian analysis of the RV and imaging data to obtain the cooling age, mass, and orbital parameters of the white dwarf indicates that the companion is an old $M_{B} = 0.65^{+0.12}_{-0.04} M_{\odot}$ white dwarf with an orbital period of $P = 250^{+130}_{-76}$ years, and a cooling age of $τ= 8.2^{+0.3}_{-0.5}$ Gyr.

description: The exclusive rare radiative B meson decays to orbitally excited axial-vector mesons K_1^*(1270), K_1(1400) and to the tensor meson K_2^*(1430) are investigated in the framework of the relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach in quantum field theory. These decays are considered without employing the heavy quark expansion for the s quark. Instead the s quark is treated to be light and the expansion in inverse powers of the large recoil momentum of the final K^{**} meson is used to simplify calculations. It is found that the ratio of the branching fractions of rare radiative B decays to axial vector K^*_1(1270) and K_1(1400) mesons is significantly influenced by relativistic effects. The obtained results for B decays to the tensor meson K_2^*(1430) agree with recent experimental data from CLEO.

description: Dualities are mathematical mappings that reveal unexpected links between apparently unrelated systems or quantities in virtually every branch of physics. Systems that are mapped onto themselves by a duality transformation are called self-dual and they often exhibit remarkable properties, as exemplified by an Ising magnet at the critical point. In this Letter, we unveil the role of dualities in mechanics by considering a family of so-called twisted Kagome lattices. These are reconfigurable structures that can change shape thanks to a collapse mechanism easily illustrated using LEGO. Surprisingly, pairs of distinct configurations along the mechanism exhibit the same spectrum of vibrational modes. We show that this puzzling property arises from the existence of a duality transformation between pairs of configurations on either side of a mechanical critical point. This critical point corresponds to a self-dual structure whose vibrational spectrum is two-fold degenerate over the entire Brillouin zone. The two-fold degeneracy originates from a general version of Kramers theorem that applies to classical waves in addition to quantum systems with fermionic time-reversal invariance. We show that the vibrational modes of the self-dual mechanical systems exhibit non-Abelian geometric phases that affect the semi-classical propagation of wave packets. Our results apply to linear systems beyond mechanics and illustrate how dualities can be harnessed to design metamaterials with anomalous symmetries and non-commuting responses.

description: Unitary Designs have become a vital tool for investigating pseudorandomness since they approximate the statistics of the uniform Haar ensemble. Despite their central role in quantum information, their relation to quantum chaotic evolution and in particular to the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH) are still largely debated issues. This work provides a bridge between the latter and $k$-designs through Free Probability theory. First, by introducing the more general notion of $k$-freeness, we show that it can be used as an alternative probe to designs. In turn, free probability theory comes with several tools, useful for instance for the calculation of mixed moments or the so-called $k$-fold quantum channels. Our second result is the connection to quantum dynamics. Quantum ergodicity, and correspondingly ETH, apply to a restricted class of physical observables, as already discussed in the literature. In this spirit, we show that unitary evolution with generic Hamiltonians always leads to freeness at sufficiently long times, but only when the operators considered are restricted within the ETH class. Our results provide a direct link between unitary designs, quantum chaos and the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis, and shed new light on the universality of late-time quantum dynamics.

 TYPE SPECIES: GYMNELEOTRIS SEMINUDUS (G UNTHER €, 1864: 304, DESCRIBED AS ELEOTRIS SEMINUDUS G UNTHER €, 1864, BY ORIGINAL DESIGNATION)
 Diagnosis
 Possesses all taxonomic characters present in most members of Gobiosomatini and the Gobiosoma group (first dorsal-fin spines VII, pterygiophore insertion pattern of 3 – 221110, 27 vertebrae – 11 precaudal and 16 caudal, hypurals 1 and 2 fused to some extent with hypurals 3 and 4 and the terminal vertebral element, one epural); pelvic fins well separated, lacking both anterior frenum and well-developed membrane connecting innermost rays; pelvic-fin rays 1 – 5 branched and never with flattened or fleshy tips; pelvic-fin rays extending posteriorly to anus, never reaching origin of anterior anal-fin rays; side of body with scales (modified basicaudal scales absent), scales embedded anteriorly; two anal-fin pterygiophores inserted before first haemal spine; papillae rows 5i and 5s separate; cephalic sensory canals present, pores B  0 , F, and H  0  present; second dorsal-fin rays I,10; anal-fin rays I,9; body dark brown to black with prominent narrow white vertical or diagonal bars on head, body, and dorsal fins. The one known species occurs in the eastern Pacific Ocean.
 Remarks
 The monotypic Gymneleotris was recovered in a clade with the genera Chriolepis, Pycnomma (now as Chriolepis), and Varicus imswe (now as Paedovaricus gen. nov.). Its position within this clade is unclear, as the sister relationship between Gymneleotris and Paedovaricus is weakly supported (Bayesian posterior probability of 0.69). Morphologically there is little evidence for a sister relationship between the two genera. At present, the only character distinguishing Gymneleotris from Chriolepis (as circumscribed herein) is the absence of modified basicaudal scales in Gymneleotris. The inclusion of additional eastern Pacific taxa and or phylogenetically informative characters may help resolve the position of this taxon and ultimately support a closer relationship (or nested relationship) with Chriolepis. Pending further investigation Gymneleotris is maintained here as a valid genus.

Creators: name: Pandey, Kritika
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2020

The protagonists of the novel, Vedantika Ojha (12) and Cyka Ho (13), meet when the latter starts working as a domestic help in the former’s house. They live in a conflict-ridden town in India which is the site of one of the world’s longest ongoing guerilla rebellions, the Naxalite-Maoist insurgency. The girls seem to have little in common. Vedantika resides in a big house with razor spikes on the boundary walls. She is a queer neurodivergent 7th grader who has unstable relationships with everyone, including the reader. Cyka, who lives in the slums, is confident and charming. She stands up for herself because she knows that no one else will. She is all too familiar with the violent streets that Vedantika has so far been sheltered from. However, a closer look reveals that the girls share an absence. Cyka’s family was displaced from their village due to coal mining. She belongs to one of the indigenous tribes who have historically co-existed with nature without capitalizing on its resources. But their lands are now being taken over by the neoliberal government. Her people must revolt to survive. On the other hand, Vedantika’s mother has left her family to take up a job in Delhi. While Cyka pines for her village, Vedantika pines for her mother. Their respective losses become the basis of the bond that develops between them despite their dissimilar contexts.

description: Self-consistent calculations within the relativistic mean field theory (RMFT) were performed for 150 spherical even-even nuclei. The macroscopic part of the binding energy was evaluated by subtracting the Strutinsky shell corrections from the RMFT energy. The parameters of a liquid-drop (LD), like mass formula which approximates the RMFT results, were determined. The mass and isospin dependence of the RMFT mean-square radii constant for the neutron, proton, charge and total density distributions were estimated. The RMFT liquid-drop parameters and the radii constants are compared with similar results obtained with the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculations with the Gogny force (HFB+Gogny) and phenomenological models.

description: In 1975 Voronin proved the universality theorem for the Riemann zeta-function $ζ(s)$ which roughly says that any admissible function $f(s)$ is approximated by $ζ(s)$. A few years later Reich proved a discrete analogue of this result. The proofs of these theorems are almost identical but it is not known whether one of them implies the other. We will see that if we translate the question in the language of linear dynamics then there is a link which we exploit to obtain in a straightforward way a big variety of discrete universality results appearing in the literature.

description: We generalize the entanglement swapping scheme originally proposed for two pairs of qubits to an arbitrary number $q$ of systems composed from an arbitrary number $m_j$ of qudits. Each of the system is supposed to be prepared in a maximally entangled state of $m_j$ qudits, while different systems are not correlated at all. We show that when a set $\sum_{j=1}^q a_j$ particles (from each of the $q$ systems $a_j$ particles are measured) are subjected to a generalized Bell-type measurement, the resulting set of $\sum_{j=1}^q (m_j-a_j)$ particles will collapse into a maximally entangled state.

description: Understanding thermodynamical measurement noise is of central importance for electrical and optical precision measurements from mass-fabricated semiconductor sensors, where the Brownian motion of charge carriers poses limits, to optical reference cavities for atomic clocks or gravitational wave detection, which are limited by thermorefractive and thermoelastic noise due to the transduction of temperature fluctuations to the refractive index and length fluctuations. Here, we discover that unexpectedly charge carrier density fluctuations give rise to a novel noise process in recently emerged electro-optic photonic integrated circuits. We show that Lithium Niobate and Lithium Tantalate photonic integrated microresonators exhibit an unexpected Flicker type (i.e. $1/f^{1.2}$) scaling in their noise properties, significantly deviating from the well-established thermorefractive noise theory. We show that this noise is consistent with thermodynamical charge noise, which leads to electrical field fluctuations that are transduced via the strong Pockels effects of electro-optic materials. Our results establish electrical Johnson-Nyquist noise as the fundamental limitation for Pockels integrated photonics, crucial for determining performance limits for both classical and quantum devices, ranging from ultra-fast tunable and low-noise lasers, Pockels soliton microcombs, to quantum transduction, squeezed light or entangled photon-pair generation. Equally, this observation offers optical methods to probe mesoscopic charge fluctuations with exceptional precision.

description: Extragalactic background light (EBL) plays an important role in cosmology since it traces the history of galaxy formation and evolution. Such diffuse radiation from near-UV to far-infrared wavelengths can interact with $γ$-rays from distant sources such as active galactic nuclei (AGNs), and is responsible for the high-energy absorption observed in their spectra. However, probing the EBL from $γ$-ray spectra of AGNs is not trivial due to internal processes that can mimic its effect. Such processes are usually taken into account in terms of curvature of the intrinsic spectrum. Hence, an improper choice of parametrization for the latter can seriously affect EBL reconstruction. In this paper, we propose a statistical approach that avoids a priori assumptions on the intrinsic spectral curvature and that, for each source, selects the best-fit model on a solid statistical basis. By combining the ${\it Fermi}$-LAT observations of 490 blazars, we determine the $γ$-ray-inferred level of EBL for various state-of-the-art EBL models. We discuss the EBL level obtained from the spectra of both BL Lacs and flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQ) in order to investigate the impact of internal absorption in different classes of objects. We further scrutinize constraints on the EBL evolution from $γ$-ray observations by reconstructing the EBL level in four redshift ranges, up to $z\sim2.5$. The approach implemented in this paper, carefully addressing the question of the modeling of the intrinsic emission at the source, can serve as a solid stepping stone for studies of hundreds of high-quality spectra acquired by next-generation $γ$-ray instruments.

The Choice Is Real
Creators: name: Weingarten, Jay
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2021

A collection of poems engaging themes of: the concept of choice in queerness; heteronormative familial socialization; the metaphorical and literal loss of motherhood from a transmasculine subjectivity; how people socialized into cis-normative feminity learn methods of self-protection that are dependent upon womens’ collectivity; and how media representations shape a child’s perspective of identity-building options. In queerness, our lack of choice operates as a source of empowerment—or, rather, a shield against doubts. To insist on having no choice is to ask the hegemon for a form of parental protection. Innocent. I was born this way. You birthed me this way. The least you can do is love the monster you made. These poems reject this parental protection. Born this way. Transexuals are expected to perform a linear narrative in order to substantiate their claim. I knew I was a boy from a young age. I want to have heterosexual sex with women. Now, I am a man. However, this demand for a linear narrative has scarcely gone uncontested. Lou Sullivan, cited in the epigraph, famously rebelled against his rejection from the Stanford Gender Dysphoria Program, a rejection rooted in the belief that transsexuals cannot also be homosexuals. “I love being a girl,” he writes in his childhood diaries. “So delicate.” These poems ask: If a transmasculine person can be a homosexual, then can a transmasculine person love being a girl?

description: Despite its theoretical and practical significance, urban social sustainability research lacks robust definition, conceptualisation and measurement. In addition, the factors influencing people’s perceived feelings about their neighbourhood are underexplored. The aim of this study is two-fold: First, to develop and empirically test the urban social sustainability (USS) measurement model at the neighbourhood scale that captures the multifaceted nature of this complex phenomenon. Second, to use the proposed USS model to examine the role of different physical (urban form) and personal (socio-economic) factors in promoting or weakening various aspects of neighbourhood social sustainability. We conducted factor analysis for testing the dimensionality, validity, and reliability of the USS model. Multiple regression analysis was also used to test the practical implications of the model. Our findings from 251 respondents in five case study neighbourhoods of Dunedin city, New Zealand, provide evidence that the effects of physical and personal factors can differ according to distinct USS dimensions. We found that out of the four physical factors, quality of urban design is the most influential factor, having a significant positive influence on three USS dimensions and the overall urban social sustainability. Among the personal factors, length of residence in a neighbourhood has the most influence on different USS dimensions.

description: We analyze the symmetry and topological features of a family of materials closely related to penta-graphene, derived from it by adsorption or substitution of different atoms. Our description is based on a novel approach, called topological quantum chemistry, that allows to characterize the topology of the electronic bands, based on the mapping between real and reciprocal space. In particular, by adsorption of alkaline (Li or Na) atoms we obtain a nodal line metal at room temperature, with a continuum of Dirac points around the perimeter of the Brillouin zone. This behavior is also observed in some substitutional derivatives of penta-graphene, such as penta-PC$_2$. Breaking of time-reversal symmetry can be achieved by the use of magnetic atoms; we study penta-MnC$_2$, which also presents spin-orbit coupling and reveals a topological insulator phase. We find that for this family of materials, symmetry is the source of protection for metallic and nontrivial topological phases that can be associated to the presence of fractional band filling, spin-orbit coupling and time-reversal symmetry breaking.

description: Bainguidae Borsuk-Białynicka, 1984  (figs. 54B, 55B, 56B)   DEFINITION: All taxa sharing a more recent common ancestor with Bainguis parvus than with Lacerta viridis, Scincus scincus, or Varanus varius.
DIAGNOSIS: Bainguids, as defined here, are united by five unambiguous synapomorphies, including 53(1) presence of a jugal-squamosal contact, 96(2) postorbital extending posteriorly for more than 3/4 the length of the supratemporal fenestra, 121(1) midline contact of the palatines, 193(1) coronoid labial flange present, but not greatly developed posteriorly, and 203(1) presence of a prearticular crest.
 COMMENTS: Bainguidae was originally erected as a monospecific ‘‘family’’ described as possessing both scincomorph and anguimorph affinities, but conservatively placed as a member of a ‘‘preanguimorphan grade’’ (Borsuk-Białynicka, 1984). Later, Bainguis parvus was shown to have affinities with Anguidae (Borsuk-Białynicka, 1991; Gao and Hou, 1996; Gao and Norell, 1998) and Bainguidae was synonymized with Anguidae (Alifanov, 2000). Gao and Norell (1998) alone have cladistically analyzed the position of Bainguis parvus. They provided evidence of anguine affinities for Bainguis, but cautioned that this poorly known taxon could not be scored for many of the anguid characters (Gao and Norell, 1998).
 The current analysis is the first to include Bainguis parvus in a cladistic analysis with non-anguimorph fossils such as Myrmecodaptria and Eoxanta lacertifrons. Thus, this is the first analysis in which Bainguidae, as it is currently used, had the potential to be discovered. Given the relative completeness of our knowledge of B. parvus, prudence is exercised in the current definition of Bainguidae.
Note that the phylogenetic position of Bainguidae within Autarchoglossa is not strongly supported. A secondary analysis of only osteological characters (see below) suggested that bainguids are lacertoids. Further analysis of the position of Bainguidae is appropriate given this result and the convergences between this clade and the plesiomorphic condition for Scincomorpha and some of its constituent clades.

description: One primary objective in submanifold geometry is to discover fascinating and significant classical examples of $H_1$. In this paper which relies on the theory we established in [Adv. Math. 405 (2022), 08514, 50 pages, arXiv:2101.11780] and utilizing the approach we provided for constructing constant $p$-mean curvature surfaces, we have identified intriguing examples of such surfaces. Notably, we present a complete description of rotationally invariant surfaces of constant $p$-mean curvature and shed light on the geometric interpretation of the energy $E$ with a lower bound.

description: Infrastructure is crucial to the functioning of society and the economy. Yet, to avoid precipitating environmental breakdown, it must undergo transformation. We argue that citizens who rely on infrastructure’s services should have a say in how transformation is managed. However, the complex nature of infrastructure means that public dialogue is difficult and rarely done well. Infrastructure has several characteristics, which make elicitation of perceptions challenging: it is connective, relational, obdurate, collective and subject to fragmented governance. We held a series of deliberative workshops in a city in the UK, to examine how public perceptions of infrastructure are shaped by these characteristics. We found that using infrastructure’s characteristics as a framework for deliberation built participants’ capabilities to articulate perceptions of infrastructure. We argue that using these characteristics also placed more emphasis on the socio-materiality of infrastructure and can address the disconnect between scales of participation and scales of decision making. This offers an alternative way to debate the desirable attributes of infrastructure, which we argue is more productive and inclusive.
The topological susceptibility and f_pi from lattice QCD

description: We study the topological susceptibility, chi, in QCD with two quark flavours using lattice field configurations that have been produced with an O(a) improved quark action. We find clear evidence for the expected suppression at small quark mass, and examine the variation of chi with this mass. The resulting estimate of the pion decay constant, f_pi = 105 +/- 6 ^{+18}_{-10} MeV, is consistent with the experimental value of ~93 MeV. We compare chi to the large-N_c prediction and find consistency over a large range of quark masses. We discuss the benefits of the non-perturbative action improvement scheme and of the stategy of keeping the lattice spacing (nearly) fixed as the quark mass is varied. We compare our results with other studies and suggest why such a quark mass dependence has not always been seen.

description: In this article, we conduct a governmentality analysis of Swedish public procurement in order to show how the notion of sustainability is constructed in this circumstance. We argue that the mainstream approach to sustainability policy in most countries lies within capitalist market rationalities, thus making it crucial to study how such rationalities shape and represent the problems of unsustainability and how these “problems” limit the possibilities for politics and policy in practice. Furthermore, public procurement is a central instrument through which these rationalities are realised and maintained. Thus, the purpose is to examine how problems of unsustainability are represented through public procurement policy and the effects they constitute for the politics of sustainability. To this end we mobilise the Foucauldian based “what’s the problem represented to be” approach. As data, we use policy documents published with respect to public procurement in Sweden. Our findings show that the dominant problem representation constructs unsustainability as a market failure, limiting the possibilities for politics and policies of sustainability in several ways. This includes premising sustainability upon the continued expansion of capitalism; constituting the agents of change as apolitical actors; making sustainability a voluntary ambition for the procuring organisations; and constructing the legitimate claim to earth’s resources and sinks as a matter of purchasing power, with important implications for environmental justice. However, our analysis also shows a tension in the material creating openings for a politicisation of the representations of sustainability.

description: The Carbon Farming Initiative (CFI) and other carbon trading programs have been promoted as alternative sources of income for agricultural producers, particularly those on marginal land. This paper presents the results of a bioeconomic model developed to compare the relative returns from a beef enterprise against changing regrowth management practices to sequester additional carbon and sell carbon offsets. The model is constructed based on a 1000 hectare parcel of land in Central Queensland and is calculated for two landtypes; Brigalow and Eucalypt. Assuming zero transaction costs and a 20 year contract period, a carbon-cattle enterprise has higher returns that a cattle-only enterprise at relatively low carbon prices for both land types. However, results are highly dependent on the underlying assumptions regarding transaction costs, previous clearing methods and opportunity costs of cattle production. The impact of these variables and alternative policy settings were evaluated using an optimization model which identifies the optimal allocation between the two enterprises at different carbon prices. Whilst the model indicates that some beef producers could increase returns by supplying carbon offsets, the results are highly variable and do not account for the risk and uncertainty associated with long term contracts to supply a non-market good into a new market.
