description: A well-known route to form primordial black holes in the early universe relies on the existence of unusually large primordial curvature fluctuations, confined to a narrow range of wavelengths that would be too small to be constrained by Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies. This scenario would however boost the generation of $μ$-type spectral distortions in the CMB due to an enhanced dissipation of acoustic waves. Previous studies of $μ$-distortion bounds on the primordial spectrum were based on the assumptions of Gaussian primordial fluctuations. In this work, we push the calculation of $μ$-distortions to one higher order in photon anisotropies. We discuss how to derive bounds on primordial spectrum peaks obeying non-Gaussian statistics under the assumption of local (perturbative or not) non-Gaussianity. We find that, depending on the value of the peak scale, the bounds may either remain stable or get tighter by several orders of magnitude, but only when the departure from Gaussian statistics is very strong. Our results are translated in terms of bounds on primordial supermassive black hole mass in a companion paper.

description: In this paper, we explore the phenomenology of massive Axion-Like Particles (ALPs) coupled to quarks and gluons, dubbed 'QCD ALPs', with an emphasis on the associated low-energy observables. ALPs coupled to gluons and quarks not only induce nuclear interactions at scales below the QCD-scale, relevant for ALP production in supernovae (SNe), but naturally also couple to photons similarly to the QCD-axion. We discuss the link between the high-energy formulation of ALP theories and their effective couplings with nucleons and photons. The induced photon coupling allows ALPs with masses $m_a\gtrsim1$ MeV to efficiently decay into photons, and astrophysical observables severely constrain the ALP parameter space. We show that a combination of arguments related to SN events rule out ALP-nucleon couplings down to $g_{aN}\gtrsim 10^{-11}- 10^{-10}$ for $m_a\gtrsim1$ MeV - a region of the parameter space that was hitherto unconstrained.

Enhancing Cooperation through Selective Interaction and Long-term Experiences in Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

description: The significance of network structures in promoting group cooperation within social dilemmas has been widely recognized. Prior studies attribute this facilitation to the assortment of strategies driven by spatial interactions. Although reinforcement learning has been employed to investigate the impact of dynamic interaction on the evolution of cooperation, there remains a lack of understanding about how agents develop neighbour selection behaviours and the formation of strategic assortment within an explicit interaction structure. To address this, our study introduces a computational framework based on multi-agent reinforcement learning in the spatial Prisoner's Dilemma game. This framework allows agents to select dilemma strategies and interacting neighbours based on their long-term experiences, differing from existing research that relies on preset social norms or external incentives. By modelling each agent using two distinct Q-networks, we disentangle the coevolutionary dynamics between cooperation and interaction. The results indicate that long-term experience enables agents to develop the ability to identify non-cooperative neighbours and exhibit a preference for interaction with cooperative ones. This emergent self-organizing behaviour leads to the clustering of agents with similar strategies, thereby increasing network reciprocity and enhancing group cooperation.

description: Continual learning (CL) has spurred the development of several methods aimed at consolidating previous knowledge across sequential learning. Yet, the evaluations of these methods have primarily focused on the final output, such as changes in the accuracy of predicted classes, overlooking the issue of representational forgetting within the model. In this paper, we propose a novel representation-based evaluation framework for CL models. This approach involves gathering internal representations from throughout the continual learning process and formulating three-dimensional tensors. The tensors are formed by stacking representations, such as layer activations, generated from several inputs and model `snapshots', throughout the learning process. By conducting tensor component analysis (TCA), we aim to uncover meaningful patterns about how the internal representations evolve, expecting to highlight the merits or shortcomings of examined CL strategies. We conduct our analyses across different model architectures and importance-based continual learning strategies, with a curated task selection. While the results of our approach mirror the difference in performance of various CL strategies, we found that our methodology did not directly highlight specialized clusters of neurons, nor provide an immediate understanding the evolution of filters. We believe a scaled down version of our approach will provide insight into the benefits and pitfalls of using TCA to study continual learning dynamics.

description: We present a novel frequency-filtering method for measuring and calculating frequency-filtered photon-correlations. This novel method is a cavity-based system we call the multi-mode array filter, which consists of an array of tunable single-mode cavities that are equally spaced in frequency. By introducing a mode-dependent phase modulation, we produce a near rectangular frequency response, allowing us to increase the filter bandwidth -- and thus the temporal response -- without sacrificing frequency isolation. We model the frequency filtering using a cascaded quantum open systems approach which completely neglects any back-action of the filter onto the source system. This allows us to derive a closed set of operator moment equations for source and filter system operators, thus providing an extremely efficient method to calculate frequency-filtered first- and second-order correlation functions. We demonstrate this novel filtering method by applying it to a resonantly driven two-level atom. We present examples of frequency-filtered power spectra to demonstrate the improved frequency isolation of the multi-mode array filter over the single-mode filter. We then present results for the single-mode and multi-mode-array filtered second-order auto- and cross-correlation functions. These are compared against expressions derived in the secular approximation. The improved frequency isolation of the multi-mode array filter allows us to investigate new regimes of frequency-filtered photon correlations, such as two-photon leapfrog processes, and the effect of vanishing bandwidth on filtered auto-correlation functions.

description: This work presents a dynamic vocabulary adaptation strategy, MEDVOC, for fine-tuning pre-trained language models (PLMs) like BertSumAbs, BART, and PEGASUS for improved medical text summarization. In contrast to existing domain adaptation approaches in summarization, MEDVOC treats vocabulary as an optimizable parameter and optimizes the PLM vocabulary based on fragment score conditioned only on the downstream task's reference summaries. Unlike previous works on vocabulary adaptation (limited only to classification tasks), optimizing vocabulary based on summarization tasks requires an extremely costly intermediate fine-tuning step on large summarization datasets. To that end, our novel fragment score-based hyperparameter search very significantly reduces this fine-tuning time -- from 450 days to less than 2 days on average. Furthermore, while previous works on vocabulary adaptation are often primarily tied to single PLMs, MEDVOC is designed to be deployable across multiple PLMs (with varying model vocabulary sizes, pre-training objectives, and model sizes) -- bridging the limited vocabulary overlap between the biomedical literature domain and PLMs. MEDVOC outperforms baselines by 15.74% in terms of Rouge-L in zero-shot setting and shows gains of 17.29% in high Out-Of-Vocabulary (OOV) concentrations. Our human evaluation shows MEDVOC generates more faithful medical summaries (88% compared to 59% in baselines). We make the codebase publicly available at https://github.com/gb-kgp/MEDVOC.

description: This study aims to determine whether traditional or modern teaching methods better meet the language learning needs of young learners. Specifically, it explores whether communicative, interaction-based methods, such as Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), enhance motivation and engagement in language learning among young students. Through comparative analysis, the research evaluates the effectiveness of both traditional Grammar-Translation and modern communicative approaches on grammar retention and language use. Findings reveal that while traditional methods support grammatical accuracy, communicative methods foster greater engagement and practical fluency, suggesting that a balanced approach may best serve young learners.

description: We present an evolutionary algorithm evo-SMC for the problem of Submodular Maximization under Cost constraints (SMC). Our algorithm achieves $1/2$-approximation with a high probability $1-1/n$ within $\mathcal{O}(n^2K_β)$ iterations, where $K_β$ denotes the maximum size of a feasible solution set with cost constraint $β$. To the best of our knowledge, this is the best approximation guarantee offered by evolutionary algorithms for this problem. We further refine evo-SMC, and develop st-evo-SMC. This stochastic version yields a significantly faster algorithm while maintaining the approximation ratio of $1/2$, with probability $1-ε$. The required number of iterations reduces to $\mathcal{O}(nK_β\log{(1/ε)}/p)$, where the user defined parameters $p \in (0,1]$ represents the stochasticity probability, and $ε\in (0,1]$ denotes the error threshold. Finally, the empirical evaluations carried out through extensive experimentation substantiate the efficiency and effectiveness of our proposed algorithms. Our algorithms consistently outperform existing methods, producing higher-quality solutions.

description: In the rapidly evolving FinTech sector, ensuring transaction security while maintaining user convineance remains a paramount challenge. MiraPay addresses this challenge by introducing a novel face-based payment system that leverages the robust capabilities of cloud computing and biometric technology. Utilizing a sophisticated integration of AWS Rekognition for facial recognition, Django as the backend framework, and Post greSQL RDS for comprehensive data management, this paper presents the development and implementation of MiraPay. The system uniquely combines real-time biometric authentication with a seamless payment process, offering an unprecedented level of security and efficiency in financial transactions. Through a RESTful API, MiraPay collects and processes user data, including biometric and financial information, to authorize trans actions in a manner that is both secure and user-friendly. This study details the architectural design, implementation challenges, and solutions, alongside a thorough evaluation of system’s performance in term of authentication accuracy, transaction speed, and user satisfaction. Our findings indicate that MiraPay not only significantly enhances the security and efficiency of online payments but also proposes a scalable model for future advancements in biometrically enables financial services. The integration of cloud services, coupled with the poser of Django and PostgreSQL, provides a robust platform for the secure pro cessing of sensitive financial data, demonstrating the potential of cloud-based biometric authentication in revolutionizing payment systems.

description: This paper presents a novel approach to modeling human driving behavior, designed for use in evaluating autonomous vehicle control systems in a simulation environments. Our methodology leverages a hierarchical forward-looking, risk-aware estimation framework with learned parameters to generate human-like driving trajectories, accommodating multiple driver levels determined by model parameters. This approach is grounded in multimodal trajectory prediction, using a deep neural network with LSTM-based social pooling to predict the trajectories of surrounding vehicles. These trajectories are used to compute forward-looking risk assessments along the ego vehicle's path, guiding its navigation. Our method aims to replicate human driving behaviors by learning parameters that emulate human decision-making during driving. We ensure that our model exhibits robust generalization capabilities by conducting simulations, employing real-world driving data to validate the accuracy of our approach in modeling human behavior. The results reveal that our model effectively captures human behavior, showcasing its versatility in modeling human drivers in diverse highway scenarios.

description: Many galaxies contain supermassive black holes (SMBHs), whose formation and history raise many puzzles. Pulsar timing arrays have recently discovered a low-frequency cosmological "hum" of gravitational waves that may be emitted by SMBH binary systems, and the JWST and other telescopes have discovered an unexpectedly large population of high-redshift SMBHs. We argue that these two discoveries may be linked, and that they may enhance the prospects for measuring gravitational waves emitted during the mergers of massive black holes, thereby opening the way towards resolving many puzzles about SMBHs as well as providing new opportunities to probe general relativity.

description: Using the framework of semi-classical Landau-Lifshitz dynamics (LLD), we conduct a systematic investigation of the temperature-dependent spin dynamics in the S = 1/2 Heisenberg square-lattice antiferromagnet (SqAF). By performing inelastic neutron scattering measurements on Zn2VO(PO4)2 (ZVPO) and corresponding finite-temperature spin dynamics simulations based on LLD, we present a comprehensive analysis that bridges quantum and classical spin dynamics over a broad temperature range. First, a remarkable agreement between experimental data and LLD simulations is found in the paramagnetic phase of ZVPO, demonstrating the capability of LLD in accurately determining the spin Hamiltonian of S = 1/2 systems and capturing the quantum-to-classical crossover of their spin dynamics. Second, by analyzing the discrepancies between the experimental data and the LLD simulations at lower temperatures, we determine the experimental temperature dependence of the quantum effects in the excitation spectrum of the S = 1/2 SqAF: the quantum renormalization factor for the magnon energies and the quantum continuum above the one-magnon bands. Notably, the emergence of each quantum effect is found to correlate with the formation of three-dimensional long-range order. This work demonstrates the utility of LLD in gaining experimental insights into the temperature-induced modifications of quantum spin dynamics and their convergence towards classical expectations at higher temperatures. This motivates further applications to more challenging quantum antiferromagnets dominated by stronger quantum fluctuations.

description: We investigate the formation of quantum droplets at finite temperature in attractive Bose mixtures subject to a strong transverse harmonic confinement. By means of exact path-integral Monte Carlo methods we determine the equilibrium density of the gas and the liquid as well as the pressure vs. volume dependence along isothermal curves. Results for the equation of state and for the gas-liquid coexistence region in quasi-2D configurations are compared with calculations in strictly two dimensions, finding excellent agreement. Within the pure 2D model we explore the relevance of the quantum scale anomaly and we determine the critical interaction strength for the occurrence of the first-order gas to liquid transition. Furthermore, we find that the superfluid response develops suddenly, following the density jump from the gas to the liquid state.

Bayesian models of children’s belief revision, pupillary-surprise response, and executive function when generating predictions in science learning
Creators: name: Colantonio, Joseph Anthony
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Science learning can be challenging. Children must manage multiple hypotheses and coordinate beliefs with evidence. However, making predictions helps children learn science principles faster compared to peers that only post hoc evaluate outcomes. This “prediction boost” occurs despite children in prediction conditions observing the exact same evidence as comparison groups. In this dissertation, I investigate the “prediction boost” by combining computational Bayesian models with behavioral and physiological results obtained in prior work with elementary school-aged children.First, I develop models that approximate children’s learning about water displacement. Model analyses reveal that belief revision may be explained as unfolding continuously and flexibly over time, and depends on individual differences that in children’s beliefs. Furthermore, children who are prompted to predict show more optimal learning, suggesting that prediction may bolster learning by encouraging engagement with causal mental models. Second, I explore physiological pupillary surprise via two computational models of surprise. The first surprise model examines whether children’s pupil dilation links to heightened arousal; the second surprise model examines whether children’s pupil dilation response links to the effort needed to accommodate new information. Results suggest that when children make predictions, pupil dilation may indicate that learners are leveraging their beliefs and considering how radically beliefs must change to accommodate new information.Third, I perform an investigation of children’s metacognitive capacities that may be linked to executive functions. Using a novel approach in theory-based Bayesian modeling, I fit children’s individual performance (capturing “belief flexibility”), and compare this “flexibility” to behavioral measures to understand the relationship between belief revision, executive function, and prediction. Children making predictions showed near-ceiling “belief flexibility” and had significantly higher “flexibility” than their peers. There was also significant correlation between children’s executive function measures (inhibition and switching) and the “belief flexibility” parameter, but only for children in non-prediction contexts. Results suggest that prediction bolsters flexible belief revision, especially for individuals that might otherwise struggle due to still-developing executive functions. Overall, the modeling results that I present begin to explain how prediction may support learning. Such results may help us better characterize less-explored emotional-physiological and cognitive mechanisms that support belief revision.

description: The weak mixing angle is a fundamental parameter of the electroweak theory of the standard model whose measurement in the low-energy regime is still not precisely determined. Different probes are sensitive to its value, among which atomic parity violation, coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering and parity-violating electron scattering on different nuclei. In this work, we attempt for the first time to combine all these various determinations by performing a global fit that also keeps into account the unavoidable dependence on the experimentally poorly known neutron distribution radius of the nuclei employed, for which a new measurement using proton-cesium elastic scattering became available. By using all present direct determinations of the neutron distribution radius of cesium we find $\sin^2\!\vartheta_{W} =0.2396^{+0.0020}_{-0.0019}$, which should supersede the previous value determined from atomic parity violation on cesium. When including electroweak only, but also indirect, determinations of the neutron distribution radius of cesium the uncertainty reduces to 0.0017 maintaining the same central value, showing an excellent agreement independently of the method used.

description: This research presents a field survey of 328 individuals’ perceptions of their work from home (WFH) during Covid-19. This study challenges prior research that assumed most people were not suited for WFH and addresses a gap by looking at technology and support for WFH. The results led to a new model of technology resources and individuals’ satisfaction with the resources as they relate to WFH success.

description: The one-particle reduced density-matrix (1-RDM) functional theory is a promising alternative to density-functional theory (DFT) that uses the 1-RDM rather than the electronic density as a basic variable. However, long-standing challenges such as the lack of Kohn--Sham scheme and the complexity of the pure $N$-representability conditions are still impeding its wild utilization. Fortunately, ensemble $N$-representability conditions derived in the natural orbital basis are known and trivial, such that almost every functionals of the 1-RDM are actually natural orbital functionals which do not perform well for all the correlation regimes. In this work, we propose a variational minimization scheme in the ensemble $N$-representable domain that is not restricted to the natural orbital representation of the 1-RDM. We show that splitting the minimization into the diagonal and off-diagonal part of the 1-RDM can open the way toward the development of functionals of the orbital occupations, which remains a challenge for the generalization of site-occupation functional theory in chemistry. Our approach is tested on the uniform Hubbard model using the Müller and the Töws--Pastor functionals, as well as on the dihydrogen molecule using the Müller functional.

description: The alcoholism among women is a very current topic. Day by day the number of alcoholic dependent women is increasing. Centralizing the problem to the academical world, research shows that alcohol consumption is widespread between the female college students, the demand for ways to socialize, have fun or to get approved for a particular group, make them do it each day earlier and more often. When you drink a lot of alcohol, changes in biochemical and metabolic happen , which are of very important for the perfect function of the body, and also cause changes in the nutritional status of the individual. The person nutritional status of alcoholics is still uncertain for the literature, and this motivated the interest of the author to research about this topic, because there is no research in this area in the city of Imperatriz - MA. Agains this context, the objective was to identify the level of consumption of alcohol among academic and identify if they had some sort of nutritional risk. This is a reserach quantitative, descriptive kind, which was used as a sample universe, 400 academic, which were chosen randomly from a private institution of higher education in the city of Imperatriz - MA, as a data collection procedure was used the questionnaire AUDIT, proposed by the World Health Organization. Was noticed that a big part (53%) of academic of that institution, usually have alcoholic drinks moderately, and possibly the same are at nutritional risk, motivated by alteration of the bioavailability of the nutrients caused by alcohol. It was concluded that the level of alcohol consumption undertaken by the researched academic of the high education institution it is of in a big risk, because in the future this may bring harm to their health, such as diseases caused by nutritional deficiencies.

description: Magnetars are young, highly magnetized neutron stars that are associated with magnetar short bursts (MSBs), magnetar giant flares (MGFs), and at least some fast radio bursts (FRBs). In this work, we consider a magnetar and a main sequence star in a binary system and analyze the properties of the electromagnetic signals generated by the interaction between the magnetar bursts and the companion star. During the preburst period, persistent radiation could be generated by the interaction between the $e^+e^-$-pair wind from the magnetar and the companion or its stellar wind. We find that for a newborn magnetar, the persistent preburst radiation from the strong magnetar wind can be dominant, and it is mainly at the optical and ultraviolet (UV) bands. For relatively old magnetars, the re-emission from a burst interacting with the companion is larger than the persistent preburst radiation and the luminosity of the companion itself. The transient re-emission produced by the heating process has a duration of $0.1 - 10^5 {\rm~s}$ at the optical, UV, and X-ray bands. Additionally, we find that if these phenomena occur in nearby galaxies within a few hundred kiloparsecs, they could be detected by current or future optical telescopes.
