subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The real world is a rich environment, fraught with complexity. To be robust in this complex environment, computer Vision algorithms that operate in Unstructured Environments (VUE) tend to use large amounts of data or complex modeling. Unfortunately, these algorithms also require significant computational resources. In this thesis, we examine a visual utility framework that we show is used regularly in an ad hoc manner. This framework uses visual utility estimators to speed up VUE algorithms with minimal performance degradation by focusing those higher level algorithms on the most relevant imagery. We formally define this framework, show that it has a submodular structure and discover under what conditions using it is valuable in practice. We find that visual utility approaches are most effective when using fast, task specific visual utility estimators and the VUE task is computationally expensive, We also introduce SCATAT, a cascade building algorithm. SCATAT takes advantage of the submodular structure of the visual utility framework in order to build a near optimal cascade that trades o task performance and processing requirements explicitly. We then validate this algorithm in an experimental case study on object detection. Finally, in theoretical case studies, we prove that two seminal cascade algorithms are special cases of our visual utility framework. We show they optimize a submodular visual utility function, explaining their high observed performance in practice.

Vision-Based Control of a Handheld Micromanipulator for Robot-Assisted Retinal Surgery
Creators: name: Becker, Brian C.
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2012

description: Surgeons increasingly need to perform complex operations on extremely small anatomy. Many existing and promising new surgeries are effective, but difficult or impossible to perform because humans lack the extraordinary control required at sub-millimeter scales. Using micromanipulators, surgeons gain higher positioning accuracy and additional dexterity as the instrument removes tremor and scales hand motions. While these aids are advantageous, they do not actively consider the goals or intentions of the operator and thus cannot provide context-specific behaviors, such as motion scaling around anatomical targets, prevention of unwanted contact with pre-defined tissue areas, compensation for moving anatomy, and other helpful task-dependent actions. This thesis explores the fusion of visual information with micromanipulator control and enforces task-specific behaviors that respond in synergy with the surgeon’s intentions and motions throughout surgical procedures. By exploiting real-time microscope view observations, a-priori knowledge of surgical operations, and pre-operative data prepared before the surgery, we hypothesize that micromanipulators can employ individualized and targeted aids to further help the surgeon. Specifically, we propose a vision-based control framework of virtual fixtures for handheld micromanipulator robots that naturally incorporates tremor suppression and motion scaling. We develop real-time vision systems to track the surgeon and anatomy and design fast, new algorithms for analysis of the retina. Virtual fixtures constructed from visually tracked anatomy allows for complex task-specific behaviors that monitor the surgeon’s actions and react appropriately to cooperatively accomplish the procedure. Particular focus is given to vitreoretinal surgery as a good choice for vision-based control because several new and promising surgical techniques in the eye depend on fine manipulations of tiny and delicate retinal structures. Experiments with Micron, the fully handheld micromanipulator developed in our lab, show that vision-based virtual fixtures significantly increase pointing precision by reducing positioning error during synthetic, but medically relevant hold-still and tracing tasks. To evaluate the proposed framework in realistic environments, we consider three demanding retinal procedures: membrane peeling, laser photocoagulation, and vessel cannulation. Preclinical trials on artificial phantoms, ex vivo, and in vivo animal models demonstrate that vision-based control of a micromanipulator significantly improves surgeon performance (p < 0.05).

description: We reconstruct the two-dimensional (2D) matter distributions in 20 high-mass galaxy clusters selected from the CLASH survey by using the new approach of performing a joint weak lensing analysis of 2D shear and azimuthally averaged magnification measurements. This combination allows for a complete analysis of the field, effectively breaking the mass-sheet degeneracy. In a Bayesian framework, we simultaneously constrain the mass profile and morphology of each individual cluster assuming an elliptical Navarro-Frenk-White halo characterized by the mass, concentration, projected axis ratio, and position angle of the projected major axis.. We find that spherical mass estimates of the clusters from azimuthally averaged weak-lensing measurements in previous work are in excellent agreement with our results from a full 2D analysis. Combining all 20 clusters in our sample, we detect the elliptical shape of weak-lensing halos at the $5σ$ significance level within a scale of 2Mpc$/h$. The median projected axis ratio is $0.67\pm 0.07$ at a virial mass of $M_\mathrm{vir}=(15.2\pm 2.8) \times 10^{14} M_\odot$, which is in agreement with theoretical predictions of the standard collisionless cold dark matter model. We also study misalignment statistics of the brightest cluster galaxy, X-ray, thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect, and strong-lensing morphologies with respect to the weak-lensing signal. Among the three baryonic tracers studied here, we find that the X-ray morphology is best aligned with the weak-lensing mass distribution, with a median misalignment angle of $21\pm 7$ degrees. We also conduct a stacked quadrupole shear analysis assuming that the X-ray major axis is aligned with that of the projected mass distribution. This yields a consistent axis ratio of $0.67\pm 0.10$, suggesting again a tight alignment between the intracluster gas and dark matter.

description: In this thesis I show is that it is possible to give modular correctness proofs of interesting higher-order imperative programs using higher-order separation logic. To do this, I develop a model higher-order imperative programming language, and develop a program logic for it. I demonstrate the power of my program logic by verifying a series of examples. This includes both realistic patterns of higher-order imperative programming such as the subject-observer pattern, as well as examples demonstrating the use of higher-order logic to reason modularly about highly aliased data structures such as the union-find disjoint set algorithm.

description: Recent discovery of emergent magnetism in van der Waals magnetic materials (vdWMM) has broadened the material space for developing spintronic devices for energy-efficient computation. While there has been appreciable progress in vdWMM discovery, with strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) and Curie temperatures exceeding room temperature, a solution for non-volatile, deterministic switching of vdWMMs at room temperature has been missing, limiting the prospects of their adoption into commercial spintronic devices. Here, we report the first demonstration of current-controlled non-volatile, deterministic magnetization switching in a vdW magnetic material at room temperature. We have achieved spin-orbit torque (SOT) switching of the PMA vdW magnet Fe3GaTe2 using a Pt spin-Hall layer up to 320 K, with a threshold switching current density as low as $J_{sw} = 1.69\times10^6 A/cm^2$ at room temperature. We have also quantitatively estimated the anti-damping-like SOT efficiency of our Fe3GaTe2/Pt bilayer system to be $ξ_{DL}$ = 0.093, using second harmonic Hall voltage measurement technique. These results mark a crucial step in making vdW magnetic materials a viable choice for the development of scalable, future spintronic devices.

description: Fairness has become increasingly pivotal in medical image recognition. However, without mitigating bias, deploying unfair medical AI systems could harm the interests of underprivileged populations. In this paper, we observe that while features extracted from the deeper layers of neural networks generally offer higher accuracy, fairness conditions deteriorate as we extract features from deeper layers. This phenomenon motivates us to extend the concept of multi-exit frameworks. Unlike existing works mainly focusing on accuracy, our multi-exit framework is fairness-oriented; the internal classifiers are trained to be more accurate and fairer, with high extensibility to apply to most existing fairness-aware frameworks. During inference, any instance with high confidence from an internal classifier is allowed to exit early. Experimental results show that the proposed framework can improve the fairness condition over the state-of-the-art in two dermatological disease datasets.

Observations contradict galaxy size and surface brightness predictions that are based on the expanding universe hypothesis

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: In a non-expanding universe surface brightness is independent of distance or redshift, while in an expanding universe it decreases rapidly with both. Similarly, for objects of the same luminosity, the angular radius of an object in a non-expanding universe declines with redshift, while in an expanding universe this radius increases for redshifts z>1.25. The author and colleagues have previously shown that data for the surface brightness of disk galaxies are compatible with a static universe with redshift linearly proportional to distance at all z (SEU hypothesis). In this paper we examine the more conventional hypothesis that the universe is expanding, but that the actual radii of galaxies of a given luminosity increase with time (decrease with z), as others have proposed. We show that the radii data for both disk and elliptical galaxies are incompatible with any of the published size-evolution predictions based on an expanding universe. We find that all the physical mechanisms proposed for size evolution, such as galaxy mergers, lead to predictions that are in quantitative contradiction with either the radius data or other data sets, such as the observed rate of galaxy mergers. In addition, we find that when the effect of telescope resolution is taken into account, the r-z relationships for disk and elliptical galaxies are identical. Both are excellently fit by SEU predictions. An overall comparison of cosmological models requires examining all available data-sets, but for this data-set there is a clear contradiction of predictions based on an expanding universe hypothesis.

description: We show that, from a topological point of view, 2-tape Büchi automata have the same accepting power than Turing machines equipped with a Büchi acceptance condition. In particular, we show that for every non null recursive ordinal alpha, there exist some Sigma^0_alpha-complete and some Pi^0_alpha-complete infinitary rational relations accepted by 2-tape Büchi automata. This very surprising result gives answers to questions of W.

description: The domain of machine learning is confronted with a crucial research area known as class imbalance learning, which presents considerable hurdles in precise classification of minority classes. This issue can result in biased models where the majority class takes precedence in the training process, leading to the underrepresentation of the minority class. The random vector functional link (RVFL) network is a widely used and effective learning model for classification due to its good generalization performance and efficiency. However, it suffers when dealing with imbalanced datasets. To overcome this limitation, we propose a novel graph embedded intuitionistic fuzzy RVFL for class imbalance learning (GE-IFRVFL-CIL) model incorporating a weighting mechanism to handle imbalanced datasets. The proposed GE-IFRVFL-CIL model offers plethora of benefits: $(i)$ leveraging graph embedding to preserve the inherent topological structure of the datasets, $(ii)$ employing intuitionistic fuzzy theory to handle uncertainty and imprecision in the data, $(iii)$ and the most important, it tackles class imbalance learning. The amalgamation of a weighting scheme, graph embedding, and intuitionistic fuzzy sets leads to the superior performance of the proposed models on KEEL benchmark imbalanced datasets with and without Gaussian noise. Furthermore, we implemented the proposed GE-IFRVFL-CIL on the ADNI dataset and achieved promising results, demonstrating the model's effectiveness in real-world applications. The proposed GE-IFRVFL-CIL model offers a promising solution to address the class imbalance issue, mitigates the detrimental effect of noise and outliers, and preserves the inherent geometrical structures of the dataset.

description: We present a new finite-size scaling method for the random walks (RW) superseeding a previously widely used renormalization group approach, which is shown here to be inconsistent. The method is valid in any dimension and is based on the exact solution for the two-point correlation function and on finite size scaling. As an application, the phase diagram is derived for random walks with a surface-bulk interaction where the system has either a surface or a defect. Possible extensions to disordered systems are also discussed.

description: Satellite communication networks have attracted widespread attention for seamless network coverage and collaborative computing. In satellite-terrestrial networks, ground users can offload computing tasks to visible satellites that with strong computational capabilities. Existing solutions on satellite-assisted task computing generally focused on system performance optimization such as task completion time and energy consumption. However, due to the high-speed mobility pattern and unreliable communication channels, existing methods still suffer from serious privacy leakages. In this paper, we present an integrated satellite-terrestrial network to enable satellite-assisted task offloading under dynamic mobility nature. We also propose a privacy-preserving task offloading scheme to bridge the gap between offloading performance and privacy leakage. In particular, we balance two offloading privacy, called the usage pattern privacy and the location privacy, with different offloading targets (e.g., completion time, energy consumption, and communication reliability). Finally, we formulate it into a joint optimization problem, and introduce a deep reinforcement learning-based privacy-preserving algorithm for an optimal offloading policy. Experimental results show that our proposed algorithm outperforms other benchmark algorithms in terms of completion time, energy consumption, privacy-preserving level, and communication reliability. We hope this work could provide improved solutions for privacy-persevering task offloading in satellite-assisted edge computing.
Measuring the scale dependence of intrinsic alignments using multiple shear estimates

description: We present a new method for measuring the scale dependence of the intrinsic alignment (IA) contamination to the galaxy-galaxy lensing signal, which takes advantage of multiple shear estimation methods applied to the same source galaxy sample. By exploiting the resulting correlation of both shape noise and cosmic variance, our method can provide an increase in the signal-to-noise of the measured IA signal as compared to methods which rely on the difference of the lensing signal from multiple photometric redshift bins. For a galaxy-galaxy lensing measurement which uses LSST sources and DESI lenses, the signal-to-noise on the IA signal from our method is predicted to improve by a factor of $\sim 2$ relative to the method of Blazek et al. 2012, for pairs of shear estimates which yield substantially different measured IA amplitudes and highly correlated shape noise terms. We show that statistical error necessarily dominates the measurement of intrinsic alignments using our method. We also consider a physically motivated extension of the Blazek et al. 2012 method which assumes that all nearby galaxy pairs, rather than only excess pairs, are subject to IA. In this case, the signal-to-noise of the method of Blazek et al. 2012 is improved.

description: When shown a video of a human hand reaching toward one of two objects, eye-tracking technology showed that great apes were later able to predict the goal object of the hand, even when the objects’ locations were switched (Kano & Call, 2014). However, they were not able to make the same predictions when shown a mechanical claw making the same movements and actions. Human infants demonstrate the same pattern of attributing agency to a human hand and not a claw. In this contrast, participants can rely on their familiarity with the agents’ morphology or experience with their actions. It has furthermore been shown that cues of agency, such as self-propelled motion, equifinal variation, and action effects, work together to allow human infants to attribute agency to a morphologically unfamiliar, inanimate object such as a stick or a ball (Biro & Leslie, 2007). In this study, we test whether such cues also allow nonhuman great apes to make the same attribution.

The entire right-of-way was 200 ft. wide and included 4390 linear feet. The field work was conducted between June 9-16, 1986 by personnel from the Institute for American Research and Archaeological Graphics Service under Purchase Order No. 6-11-G 1-30644. In addition, John Madsen of the Arizona State Museum, who has worked at AZ AA:11:12 as part of the Northern Tucson Basin Survey, volunteered several hours of his time to show the mapping team around the site. During this initial walkover of the site, Madsen pointed out the location of a ballcourt and a capped mound as well as several exposed roasting pit features and dense concentrations of surface artifacts. Although both the ballcourt and the capped mound are located outside of the present project boundaries, their documentation aids in the evaluation of the site as a whole which is a prerequisite to evaluating the significance of the portions of the site situated within the bounds of the present project.

description: High-fidelity universal quantum gates are widely acknowledged as essential for scalable quantum computation. However, in solid-state quantum systems, which hold promise as physical implementation platforms for quantum computation, the inevitable $ZZ$ crosstalk resulting from interqubit interactions significantly impairs quantum operation performance. Here we propose a scalable protocol to achieve $ZZ$-crosstalk mitigation in universal quantum gates. This method converts the noisy Hamiltonian with $ZZ$ crosstalk into a framework that efficiently suppresses all $ZZ$-crosstalk effects, leading to ideal target quantum operations. Specifically, we first analytically derive the $ZZ$-crosstalk mitigation conditions and then apply them to enhance the performance of target universal quantum gates. Moreover, numerical simulations validate the effectiveness of $ZZ$-crosstalk mitigation when multiple qubit gates operate concurrently. As a result, our protocol presents a promising approach for implementing practical parallel quantum gates in large-scale quantum computation scenarios.

description: We examine the two-dimensional spacetimes that emerge from string theory. We find all the solutions with no tachyons, and show that the only non-trivial solution is the black hole spacetime. We examine the role of duality in this picture. We then explore the thermodynamics of these solutions which is complicated by the fact that only in two spacetime dimensions is it impossible to redefine the dilaton field in terms of a canonical scalar field. Finally, we extend our analysis to the heterotic string, and briefly comment on exact, as opposed to perturbative, solutions.
Vector Map-Based, Non-Markov Localization for Long-Term Deployment of Autonomous Mobile Robots

description: As robots become increasingly available and capable, there has been an increased interest in having robots continue to perform autonomously over time despite changes in their environment. This thesis introduces several algorithms for localization of autonomous mobile robots in real human environments with the goal of having them autonomously deployed over extended periods of time. Monte Carlo Localization with Sampling-Importance Resampling (MCL-SIR) is commonly used for indoor mobile robot localization, with the frequently prescribed suggestion of increasing the number of particles to increase accuracy or robustness. Furthermore, most variants of MCL-SIR sample from the odometry model of a robot, which are far less accurate than modern range sensors. We address both these challenges by introducing Corrective Gradient Refinement (CGR), which, instead of relying on more particles, does more with fewer particles. In particular, it uses the analytically computed state space derivatives of the observation likelihood function to refine the proposal distribution, thus improving the accuracy as well as robustness while requiring fewer particles than MCL-SIR. For robots equipped only with inexpensive depth cameras, we introduce the Fast Sampling Plane Filtering algorithm to extract dominant planar features from observed depth images, to use with CGR. Going beyond MCL, we recognize that human environments have objects that are either permanent, like walls, movable, like tables and chairs, or moving, like humans. We introduce Episodic non-Markov Localization, which reasons about the nature of such observations, and accounts for correlations between observations even if they are of unmapped objects, to provide location estimates that are accurate globally with respect to the long-term features, as well as locally, with respect to the short-term features. By examining the short-term features detected by the robot over multiple deployments, the robot is further able to build a Model-Instance map of its environment, reasoning about the shapes or models of common movable objects separately from the specific occurrences or instances. We extensively demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of the localization algorithms introduced in this thesis over a “1000km Challenge”: to deploy a team of robots, over multiple floors of multiple buildings, spanning a duration of a few years. We present quantitative and qualitative results from the 1000km Challenge, and the data collected in the process.

description: The main goal of this thesis is to develop tools that enable us to study the convergence of minimizers of functionals defined on point clouds towards minimizers of equivalent functionals in the continuum; the point clouds we consider are samples of a ground-truth distribution. In particular, we investigate approaches to clustering based on minimizing objective functionals defined on proximity graphs of the given sample. Our focus is on functionals based on graph cuts like the Cheeger and ratio cuts. We show that minimizers of these cuts converge as the sample size increases to a minimizer of a corresponding continuum cut (which partitions the ground-truth distribution). Moreover, we obtain sharp conditions on how the connectivity radius can be scaled with respect to the number of sample points for the consistency to hold. We provide results for two-way and for multi-way cuts. The results are obtained by using the notion of Γ-convergence and an appropriate choice of metric which allows us to compare functions defined on point clouds with functions defined on continuous domains.

description: We consider charge pumping in a system of parafermions, implemented at fractional quantum Hall edges. Our pumping protocol leads to a noisy behavior of the pumped current. As the adiabatic limit is approached, not only does the noisy behavior persist but the counting statistics of the pumped current becomes robust and universal. In particular, the resulting Fano factor is given in terms of the system's topological degeneracy and the pumped quasiparticle charge. Our results are also applicable to the more conventional Majorana fermions.

Performance and calibration of quark/gluon-jet taggers using 140 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector

description: The identification of jets originating from quarks and gluons, often referred to as quark/gluon tagging, plays an important role in various analyses performed at the Large Hadron Collider, as Standard Model measurements and searches for new particles decaying to quarks often rely on suppressing a large gluon-induced background. This paper describes the measurement of the efficiencies of quark/gluon taggers developed within the ATLAS Collaboration, using $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV proton-proton collision data with an integrated luminosity of 140 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the ATLAS experiment. Two taggers with high performances in rejecting jets from gluon over jets from quarks are studied: one tagger is based on requirements on the number of inner-detector tracks associated with the jet, and the other combines several jet substructure observables using a boosted decision tree. A method is established to determine the quark/gluon fraction in data, by using quark/gluon-enriched subsamples defined by the jet pseudorapidity. Differences in tagging efficiency between data and simulation are provided for jets with transverse momentum between 500 GeV and 2 TeV and for multiple tagger working points.

description: We find solutions of Einstein's field equation for topologically stable strings associated with the breaking of a U(1) symmetry. Strings form in many GUTs and are expected whenever the homotopy group $Π_1(M_0)$ is non-trivial. The behavior of the fields making up the string is described by the Euler-Lagrange equations. These fields appear in the energy-momentum tensor so we must solve simultaneously for the coupled Einstein-scalar-gauge field equations. Numerical results are obtained using a Taylor-series method. We obtain a 5-parameter family of solutions and discuss their physical characteristics. Significant gravitational lensing can occur due to strings based on this model and are shown for different solutions. Finally, we prove that the assumption of regularity at the string axis is not necessary by looking at the physical properties of the string solutions.

description: In this paper we reexamine the problem of the separation of spin and charge degrees of freedom in two dimensional strongly correlated systems. We establish a set of sufficient conditions for the occurence of spin and charge separation. Specifically, we discuss this issue in the context of the Heisenberg model for spin-1/2 on a square lattice with nearest ($J_1$) and next-nearest ($J_2$) neighbor antiferromagnetic couplings. Our formulation makes explicit the existence of a local SU(2) gauge symmetry once the spin-1/2 operators are replaced by bound states of spinons. The mean-field theory for the spinons is solved numerically as a function of the ratio $J_2/J_1$ for the so-called s-RVB Ansatz. A second order phase transition exists into a novel flux state for $J_2/J_1>(J_2/J_1)_{\rm cr}$. We identify the range $0

description: Asteroseismology has the potential to provide new insights into the physics of stellar interiors. We have obtained UVES high time resolution observations of the delta Scuti star HD21190 and of the Ap Sr star HD218994 to search for pulsational line profile variations. We report the discovery of a new roAp star, HD218994, with a pulsation period of 14.2 min. This is one of the most evolved roAp stars. No rapid pulsations have been found in the spectra of the cool Ap star - delta Scuti star HD21190. However, we detect with unprecedented clarity for a delta Sct star moving peaks in the cores of spectral lines that indicate the presence of high degree non-radial pulsations in this star.
