description: Fracton order describes novel quantum phases of matter that host quasiparticles with restricted mobility, and thus lies beyond the existing paradigm of topological order. In particular, excitations that cannot move without creating multiple excitations are called fractons. Here we address a fundamental open question -- can the notion of self-exchange statistics be naturally defined for fractons, given their complete immobility as isolated excitations? Surprisingly, we demonstrate how fractons can be exchanged, and show that their self-statistics is a key part of the characterization of fracton orders. We derive general constraints satisfied by the fracton self-statistics in a large class of Abelian fracton orders. Finally, we show the existence of nontrivial fracton self-statistics in some twisted variants of the checkerboard model and Haah's code, establishing that these models are in distinct quantum phases as compared to their untwisted cousins.

description: Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have shown impressive ability in biomedical question-answering, but have not been adequately investigated for more specific biomedical applications. This study investigates the performance of LLMs such as the ChatGPT family of models (GPT-3.5s, GPT-4) in biomedical tasks beyond question-answering. Because no patient data can be passed to the OpenAI API public interface, we evaluated model performance with over 10000 samples as proxies for two fundamental tasks in the clinical domain - classification and reasoning. The first task is classifying whether statements of clinical and policy recommendations in scientific literature constitute health advice. The second task is causal relation detection from the biomedical literature. We compared LLMs with simpler models, such as bag-of-words (BoW) with logistic regression, and fine-tuned BioBERT models. Despite the excitement around viral ChatGPT, we found that fine-tuning for two fundamental NLP tasks remained the best strategy. The simple BoW model performed on par with the most complex LLM prompting. Prompt engineering required significant investment.

description: We have recently seen tremendous progress in diffusion advances for generating realistic human motions. Yet, they largely disregard the multi-human interactions. In this paper, we present InterGen, an effective diffusion-based approach that incorporates human-to-human interactions into the motion diffusion process, which enables layman users to customize high-quality two-person interaction motions, with only text guidance. We first contribute a multimodal dataset, named InterHuman. It consists of about 107M frames for diverse two-person interactions, with accurate skeletal motions and 23,337 natural language descriptions. For the algorithm side, we carefully tailor the motion diffusion model to our two-person interaction setting. To handle the symmetry of human identities during interactions, we propose two cooperative transformer-based denoisers that explicitly share weights, with a mutual attention mechanism to further connect the two denoising processes. Then, we propose a novel representation for motion input in our interaction diffusion model, which explicitly formulates the global relations between the two performers in the world frame. We further introduce two novel regularization terms to encode spatial relations, equipped with a corresponding damping scheme during the training of our interaction diffusion model. Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness and generalizability of InterGen. Notably, it can generate more diverse and compelling two-person motions than previous methods and enables various downstream applications for human interactions.

description: Extending Moore's law by augmenting complementary-metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) transistors with emerging nanotechnologies (X) has become increasingly important. One important class of problems involve sampling-based Monte Carlo algorithms used in probabilistic machine learning, optimization, and quantum simulation. Here, we combine stochastic magnetic tunnel junction (sMTJ)-based probabilistic bits (p-bits) with Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) to create an energy-efficient CMOS + X (X = sMTJ) prototype. This setup shows how asynchronously driven CMOS circuits controlled by sMTJs can perform probabilistic inference and learning by leveraging the algorithmic update-order-invariance of Gibbs sampling. We show how the stochasticity of sMTJs can augment low-quality random number generators (RNG). Detailed transistor-level comparisons reveal that sMTJ-based p-bits can replace up to 10,000 CMOS transistors while dissipating two orders of magnitude less energy. Integrated versions of our approach can advance probabilistic computing involving deep Boltzmann machines and other energy-based learning algorithms with extremely high throughput and energy efficiency.

description: Image classification, a pivotal task in multiple industries, faces computational challenges due to the burgeoning volume of visual data. This research addresses these challenges by introducing two quantum machine learning models that leverage the principles of quantum mechanics for effective computations. Our first model, a hybrid quantum neural network with parallel quantum circuits, enables the execution of computations even in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum era, where circuits with a large number of qubits are currently infeasible. This model demonstrated a record-breaking classification accuracy of 99.21% on the full MNIST dataset, surpassing the performance of known quantum-classical models, while having eight times fewer parameters than its classical counterpart. Also, the results of testing this hybrid model on a Medical MNIST (classification accuracy over 99%), and on CIFAR-10 (classification accuracy over 82%), can serve as evidence of the generalizability of the model and highlights the efficiency of quantum layers in distinguishing common features of input data. Our second model introduces a hybrid quantum neural network with a Quanvolutional layer, reducing image resolution via a convolution process. The model matches the performance of its classical counterpart, having four times fewer trainable parameters, and outperforms a classical model with equal weight parameters. These models represent advancements in quantum machine learning research and illuminate the path towards more accurate image classification systems.

description: We describe transposed Poisson structures on the upper triangular matrix Lie algebra $T_n(F)$, $n>1$, over a field $F$ of characteristic zero. We prove that, for $n>2$, any such structure is either of Poisson type or the orthogonal sum of a fixed non-Poisson structure with a structure of Poisson type, and for $n=2$, there is one more class of transposed Poisson structures on $T_n(F)$. We also show that, up to isomorphism, the full matrix Lie algebra $M_n(F)$ admits only one non-trivial transposed Poisson structure, and it is of Poisson type.

The Protected Areas and Place Making Conference - PAPM2013 took place from 21-26 April 2013 in the Brazilian city of Foz do Iguaçu and was co-sponsored by the IUFRO Research Group 6.04.00. Presentations mainly focused on social aspects of conservation and aimed to stimulate discussions how to improve the management of protected areas mainly in Brazil. The 2013 FORSYS Conference from 24-26 April 2013 in Umeå, Sweden involved IUFRO Division 4 and presented an original synthesis of multidisciplinary research efforts - developed under the COST Action FP0804 (FORSYS Forest Management Decision Support Systems DSS) – to provide an innovative worldwide quality reference for development and application of advanced computerized tools to support forest management and policy analysis. The discussions at the research workshop on "Lidar Applications in Forest Inventory and Related Statistical Issues" that was held on 8 May 2013 and hosted by the University of Tuscia, Viterbo, Italy, co-sponsored by IUFRO Working Parties 4.02.04 and 4.02.06, suggest that air-borne lidar-based information widely proves to be well correlated to forest attributes and can be used to support the estimation of various quantitative variables.

description: Identification of attractors, that is, stable states and sustained oscillations, is an important step in the analysis of Boolean models and exploration of potential variants. We describe an approach to the search for asynchronous cyclic attractors of Boolean networks that exploits, in a novel way, the established technique of elimination of components. Computation of attractors of simplified networks allows the identification of a limited number of candidate attractor states, which are then screened with techniques of reachability analysis combined with trap space computation. An implementation that brings together recently developed Boolean network analysis tools, tested on biological models and random benchmark networks, shows the potential to significantly reduce running times.

A thermodynamic approach to optimization in complex quantum systems

description: We consider the problem of finding the energy minimum of a complex quantum Hamiltonian by employing a non-Markovian bath prepared in a low energy state. The energy minimization problem is thus turned into a thermodynamic cooling protocol in which we repeatedly put the system of interest in contact with a colder auxiliary system. By tuning the internal parameters of the bath, we show that the optimal cooling is obtained in a regime where the bath exhibits a quantum phase transition in the thermodynamic limit. This result highlights the importance of collective effects in thermodynamic devices. We furthermore introduce a two-step protocol that combines the interaction with the bath with a measure of its energy. While this protocol does not destroy coherence in the system of interest, we show that it can further enhance the cooling effect.

Taking into account the Pomeron and Reggeon exchange, which are described by the Reggeized spin-2 glueball and vector meson propagator respectively, those cross sections are obtained. It is presented that the currently available experimental data of the total cross sections can be well described within the model. Once a single adjustable parameter is determined with the total cross section data, the differential cross sections can be calculated without any additional parameters. Although the available differential cross section data are limited, it is found that our predictions are consistent with those.

First detection probability in quantum resetting via random projective measurements

description: We provide a general framework to compute the probability distribution $F_r(t)$ of the first detection time of a 'state of interest' in a generic quantum system subjected to random projective measurements. In our 'quantum resetting' protocol, resetting of a state is not implemented by an additional classical stochastic move, but rather by the random projective measurement. We then apply this general framework to Poissoinian measurement protocol with a constant rate $r$ and demonstrate that exact results for $F_r(t)$ can be obtained for a generic two level system. Interestingly, the result depends crucially on the detection schemes involved and we have studied two complementary schemes, where the state of interest either coincides or differs from the initial state. We show that $F_r(t)$ at short times vanishes universally as $F_r(t)\sim t^2$ as $t\to 0$ in the first scheme, while it approaches a constant as $t\to 0$ in the second scheme. The mean first detection time, as a function of the measurement rate $r$, also shows rather different behaviors in the two schemes. In the former, the mean detection time is a nonmonotonic function of $r$ with a single minimum at an optimal value $r^*$, while in the later, it is a monotonically decreasing function of $r$, signalling the absence of a finite optimal value. These general predictions for arbitrary two level systems are then verified via explicit computation in the Jaynes-Cummings model of light-matter interaction. We also generalise our results to non-Poissonian measurement protocols with a renewal structure where the intervals between successive independent measurements are distributed via a general distribution $p(τ)$ and show that the short time behavior of $F_r(t)\sim p(0)\, t^2$ is universal as long as $p(0)\ne 0$. This universal $t^2$ law emerges from purely quantum dynamics that dominates at early times.

Given two probability distributions $P$ (null) and $Q$ (alternative), we study the problem of detecting weak distribution shift deviating from the null $P$ toward the alternative $Q$, where the level of deviation vanishes as a function of $n$, the sample size. We propose a model for weak distribution shifts via displacement interpolation between $P$ and $Q$, drawing from the optimal transport theory. We study a hypothesis testing procedure based on the Wasserstein distance, derive sharp conditions under which detection is possible, and provide the exact characterization of the asymptotic Type I and Type II errors at the detection boundary using empirical processes. We demonstrate how the proposed testing procedure works in modeling and detecting weak distribution shifts in real data sets using two empirical examples: distribution shifts in consumer spending after COVID-19, and heterogeneity in the published p-values of statistical tests in journals across different disciplines.

description: We present a calculation of the master integrals (MI's) required for the calculation of the Electroweak corrections to $gg\rightarrow γγ$ production in which the process contains a light quark loop. The integrals can be broken down into five categories based on the flow of the heavy vector bosons throughout the loop. Three of the families are planar, and two are non-planar. We determine a canonical basis for each family which allows an efficient solution of the resulting differential equations via iterated integrals. We calculate the families in relevant physical kinematics and obtain an efficient numerical evaluation based on an implementation of Chen-iterated integrals.

description: The utilization of discrete speech tokens, divided into semantic tokens and acoustic tokens, has been proven superior to traditional acoustic feature mel-spectrograms in terms of naturalness and robustness for text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis. Recent popular models, such as VALL-E and SPEAR-TTS, allow zero-shot speaker adaptation through auto-regressive (AR) continuation of acoustic tokens extracted from a short speech prompt. However, these AR models are restricted to generate speech only in a left-to-right direction, making them unsuitable for speech editing where both preceding and following contexts are provided. Furthermore, these models rely on acoustic tokens, which have audio quality limitations imposed by the performance of audio codec models. In this study, we propose a unified context-aware TTS framework called UniCATS, which is capable of both speech continuation and editing. UniCATS comprises two components, an acoustic model CTX-txt2vec and a vocoder CTX-vec2wav. CTX-txt2vec employs contextual VQ-diffusion to predict semantic tokens from the input text, enabling it to incorporate the semantic context and maintain seamless concatenation with the surrounding context. Following that, CTX-vec2wav utilizes contextual vocoding to convert these semantic tokens into waveforms, taking into consideration the acoustic context. Our experimental results demonstrate that CTX-vec2wav outperforms HifiGAN and AudioLM in terms of speech resynthesis from semantic tokens. Moreover, we show that UniCATS achieves state-of-the-art performance in both speech continuation and editing.
