description: We study a radiative neutrino model with a SU(2) septet scalar with hypercharge $Y=2$ where active neutrino mass is induced at a one-loop level. Calculating a one-loop diagram, mass matrices for active neutrino is derived. We also analyze lepton flavor violations, anomalous magnetic moment of muon and the flavor violating Higgs decay $h \to μτ$. Then sizable muon $g-2$ and $\sim 1 \%$ of $BR(h \to μτ)$ could be obtained in our set up. Furthermore, the collider signature of the septet is discussed where we focus on quadratically charged scalar at the LHC 14 TeV. We find that it could be discovered up to $1.5$ TeV mass by searching multi charged lepton signal events.

Towards supervised music structure annotation: a case-based fusion approach
Creators: name: Herrero, Giacomo
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2014

description: Analyzing the structure of a musical piece is a well-known task in any music theory or musicological field. However, in recent years, trying to find a way of performing such task in an automated manner has experienced a considerable increase in interest within the music information retrieval (MIR) field. Nonetheless, up to this day, the task of automatically segmenting and analyzing such structures remains an open challenge, with results that are still far from human performance. This thesis presents a novel approach to the task of automatic segmentation and annotation of musical structure by introducing a supervised approach that can take advantage of the information about the music structure of previously annotated pieces. The approach is tested over three different datasets with varying degrees of success. We show how a supervised approach has the potential to outperform state-of-the-art algorithms assuming a large and varied enough dataset is used. The approach is evaluated by computing standard evaluation metrics in order to compare the obtained results with other approaches. Several case studies that are considered relevant are as well presented, along with future implications.

description: BiSbTeSe2 is a 3D topological insulator (3D-TI) with Dirac type surface states and low bulk carrier density, as donors and acceptors compensate each other. Dominating low-temperature surface transport in this material is heralded by Shubnikov−de Haas oscillations and the quantum Hall effect. Here, we experimentally probe and model the electronic density of states (DOS) in thin layers of BiSbTeSe2 by capacitance experiments both without and in quantizing magnetic fields. By probing the lowest Landau levels, we show that a large fraction of the electrons filled via field effect into the system ends up in (localized) bulk states and appears as a background DOS. The surprisingly strong temperature dependence of such background DOS can be traced back to Coulomb interactions. Our results point at the coexistence and intimate coupling of Dirac surface states with a bulk many-body phase (a Coulomb glass) in 3D-TIs.

description: This work presents an audio-visual interactive chatbot (AVIN-Chat) system that allows users to have face-to-face conversations with 3D avatars in real-time. Compared to the previous chatbot services, which provide text-only or speech-only communications, the proposed AVIN-Chat can offer audio-visual communications providing users with a superior experience quality. In addition, the proposed AVIN-Chat emotionally speaks and expresses according to the user's emotional state. Thus, it enables users to establish a strong bond with the chatbot system, increasing the user's immersion. Through user subjective tests, it is demonstrated that the proposed system provides users with a higher sense of immersion than previous chatbot systems.

Analyzing clickthrough data to evaluate Freesound retrieval quality
Creators: name: Dabiri, Dara
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2013

description: Freesound.org is an online collaborative sound database where people from different disciplines share recorded sound clips under Creative Commons licenses. Freesound’s search functionality is one the feature that is used by thousands of users everyday. Due to the rapid expansion of the sound collection and the variety within sounds, ranking quality of search results has become an important part of the platform. Automatically judging the quality of the ranking algorithms based on user clickthrough data holds promise for analyzing retrieval quality faster and cheaper. We investigate whether certain observable statistics relate to retrieval quality of Freesound. We propose a model that leverages the thousands of clicks received by Freesound to predict the retrieval quality. Six absolute metrics as usage statistics are hypothesized to motonically change with retrieval quality. We design three ranking strategies and expose users to each of these rankings as the default sorting of search results. We show that the change in metrics is correlated with the rank correlation of different rankings.

description: We report on a strong nonlinear behavior of the photogalvanics and photoconductivity under excitation of HgTe quantum wells (QWs) by intense terahertz (THz) radiation. The increasing radiation intensity causes an inversion of the sign of the photocurrent and transition to its superlinear dependence on the intensity. The photoconductivity also shows a superlinear raise with the intensity. We show that the observed photoresponse nonlinearities are caused by the band-to-band light impact ionization under conditions of a photon energy less than the forbidden gap. The signature of this kind of impact ionization is that the angular radiation frequency omega = 2 pi f is much higher than the reciprocal momentum relaxation time. Thus the impact ionization takes place solely because of collisions in the presence of a high-frequency electric field. The effect has been measured on narrow HgTe/CdTe QWs of 5.7 nm width; the nonlinearity is detected for linearly and circularly polarized THz radiation with different frequencies ranging from f = 0.6 to 1.07 THz and intensities up to hundreds of kW/cm(2). We demonstrate that the probability of the impact ionization is proportional to the exponential function, exp(-E-0(2)/E-2), of the radiation electric field amplitude E and the characteristic field parameter E-0. The effect is observable in a wide temperature range from 4.2 to 90 K, with the characteristic field increasing with rising temperature.

description: We demonstrate the world's first hybrid radio platform which combines the strengths of active radio (long range and robustness to interference) and Computational RFIDs (low power consumption). We evaluate the Wireless Identification and Sensing Platform (WISP), an EPC C1G2 standard-based, Computational RFID backscatter radio, against Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and show (theoretically and experimentally) that WISP in high channel attenuation conditions is less energy efficient per received byte than BLE. Exploiting this observation we design a simple switching mechanisms that backs off to BLE when radio conditions for WISP are unfavorable. By a set of laboratory experiments, we show that our proposed hybrid active/backscatter radio obtains higher goodput than WISP and lower energy consumption than BLE as stand-alone platforms, especially when WISP is in range of an RFID interrogator for the majority of the time. Simultaneously, our proposed platform is as energy efficient as BLE when user is mostly out of RFID interrogator range.

Automatic Characterization of Flamenco Singing by Analyzing Audio Recordings
Creators: name: Kroher, Nadine
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2013

description: Flamenco singing is a highly expressive improvisational artform characterized by its deviation from the Western tonal system, freedom in rhythmic interpretation and a high amount of melodic ornamentation. Consequently, a singing performance represents a fusion of style-related constraints and the individual spontaneous interpretation. This study focuses on the description of the characteristics of a particular singer. In order to find suitable feature sets, a genre-specific automatic singer identification is implemented. For Western classical and popular music, related approaches have mainly relied on the extraction of timbre-based features to automatically recognize a singer by analyzing audio recordings. However, a classification solely based on spectral descriptors is prone to errors for low quality audio recordings. In order to obtain a more robust approach, low-level timbre features are combined with vibrato- and performance-related descriptors. Furthermore, differences among interpretations within a style are analyzed: Versions of the same a cappella cante have a common melodic skeleton which is subject to strong, individually determined melodic and rhythmic modifications. Similarity among such performances is modeled by applying dynamic time-warping to align automatic transcriptions and extracting performance-related descriptors. Resulting distances are evaluated by analyzing their correlation to human ratings.

description: We analyze velocity-jump process models of persistent search for a single target on a bounded domain. The searcher proceeds along ballistic trajectories and is absorbed upon collision with the target boundary. When reaching the domain boundary, the searcher chooses a random direction for its new trajectory. For circular domains and targets, we can approximate the mean first passage time (MFPT) using a Markov chain approximation of the search process. Our analysis and numerical simulations reveal that the time to find the target decreases for targets closer to the domain boundary. When there is a small probability of direction-switching within the domain, we find the time to find the target decreases slightly with the turning probability. We also extend our exit time analysis to the case of partitioned domains, where there is a single target within one of multiple disjoint subdomains. Given an average time of transition between domains $\langle T \rangle$, we find that the optimal rate of transition that minimizes the time to find the target obeys $β_{\rm min} \propto 1/ \sqrt{\langle T \rangle}$.

Hybrid Digital and Analog Beamforming Design for Large-Scale Antenna Arrays
Creators: name: Sohrabi, Foad

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Information Theory (cs.IT)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The potential of using of millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency for future wireless cellular communication systems has motivated the study of large-scale antenna arrays for achieving highly directional beamforming. However, the conventional fully digital beamforming methods which require one radio frequency (RF) chain per antenna element is not viable for large-scale antenna arrays due to the high cost and high power consumption of RF chain components in high frequencies. To address the challenge of this hardware limitation, this paper considers a hybrid beamforming architecture in which the overall beamformer consists of a low-dimensional digital beamformer followed by an RF beamformer implemented using analog phase shifters. Our aim is to show that such an architecture can approach the performance of a fully digital scheme with much fewer number of RF chains. Specifically, this paper establishes that if the number of RF chains is twice the total number of data streams, the hybrid beamforming structure can realize any fully digital beamformer exactly, regardless of the number of antenna elements. For cases with fewer number of RF chains, this paper further considers the hybrid beamforming design problem for both the transmission scenario of a point-to-point multipleinput multiple-output (MIMO) system and a downlink multiuser multiple-input single-output (MU-MISO) system. For each scenario, we propose a heuristic hybrid beamforming design that achieves a performance close to the performance of the fully digital beamforming baseline. Finally, the proposed algorithms are modified for the more practical setting in which only finite resolution phase shifters are available. Numerical simulations show that the proposed schemes are effective even when phase shifters with very low resolution are used.

description: The mechanism of radio emission in radio-quiet (RQ) active galactic nuclei (AGN) is still debated and might arise from the central AGN, from star formation activity in the host, or from either of these sources. A direct detection of compact and bright radio cores embedded in sources that are classified as RQ can unambiguously determine whether a central AGN significantly contributes to the radio emission. We search for compact, high-surface-brightness radio cores in RQ AGNs that are caused unambiguously by AGN activity. We used the Australian Long Baseline Array to search for compact radio cores in four RQ AGNs located in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDFS). We also targeted four radio-loud (RL) AGNs as a control sample. We detected compact and bright radio cores in two AGNs that are classified as RQ and in one that is classified as RL. Two RL AGNs were not imaged because the quality of the observations was too poor. We report on a first direct evidence of radio cores in RQ AGNs at cosmological redshifts. Our detections show that some of the sources that are classified as RQ contain an active AGN that can contribute significantly (about 50% or more) to the total radio emission.

Characterization of Pitch Intonation of Beijing Opera Publication Type Master Thesis
Creators: name: Chen, Kainan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2013

description: Beijing Opera is a Chinese traditional art that has been developing for several hundred years. The music of the Beijing Opera is quite distinct, without much influence from the west. One of its distinct characteristics is the pitch intonation that the singers do and in this thesis we have developed an analysis methodology for studying it. From a collection of audio recordings of sung arias we extracted the vocal pitch contours of the automatically detected vocal segments of the recordings and computed a pitch histogram for each aria. From these pitch histograms we studied the intonation by analyzing the peak distributions. Since all the melodies are organized in reference to a tonic, or keynote, we also had to identify the tonic in each aria and normalize the histograms to it in order to compare all the histograms. We were able to study the distinct intonation of the notes fa and si, comparing it with the western equal tempered intonations. We also studied how the pitch histograms can be used to characterize the different role types of the Beijing Opera.
An EEG-based Emotion-driven Music Control System
Creators: name: Forteza, Macià
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2013

description: Brain-Computer Music Interfaces (BCMIs) aim to allow users to control music using their brain activity information. In this thesis the design and implementation of a BCMI for controlling the expressive content of musical pieces using emotions is presented. These emotions are obtained using encephalography (EEG) techniques. Human emotions can be characterized as a combination of arousal and valence values. However, the variability of these values across different subjects complicates the use of emotions for controlling music expression. Two experiments are presented to study the best approach for calculating arousal and valence value boundaries. The obtained results indicate that using images with emotional content in the process of calibrating the BCMI is less reliable than instructing the subjects to consciously modulate their excitation/relaxation state. Another conclusion is that the computed valence value is less reliable than the arousal value for controlling the BCMI. The impact of using both music and visual feedback in the BCMI is investigated and the main conclusion is that most of the users participating in the experiment are able to control better the BCMI when receiving only musical feedback compared to both music and visual feedback.

description: The search for a rational design subspace of aircraft configurations can be addressed by using the advanced morphological approach (AMA). It allows the decomposition of design problems into functional and/or characteristic attributes and their technological implementation options. These are systemized in a morphological matrix (MM). Based on expert evaluations of each option, an exhaustive space is generated containing option combinations as possible solutions. Therefore, extensive MMs lead to immense solution spaces that are hard to analyze. However, removing attributes without justification might leave potential rational solutions out of scope. In this context, a sensitivity analysis technique is suggested based on analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests for use with the AMA. It can be applied to assess the sensitivity of solution scores against the attribute options and their importance. As a result, optimization of the MM and solution space can be achieved and improvement proposals can be drawn for future problem statements with the AMA. This is demonstrated on the data from a previously conducted AMA workshop on the conceptual design of a search and rescue aircraft.
Expressive speech synthesis for a Radio DJ using Vocaloid and HMM's

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2013

description: This master thesis deals with the modeling the speaking style of a Radio DJ speaker. In the context of the radio DJ speaker we designed a corpus that represents how radio DJs use to present songs being played on a radio show. A professional speaker has been recorded reading these radio shows into two different expressive styles. Style dependant models are trained with the recorded data. These can then be used to generate the expression parameters (syllable duration, pitch and dynamics) for any message to synthesize. The system is then modified by adding contextual information which is taken into account to train the models. The system is evaluatued to show whether this modification of the models helps to improve the speaking style models.

description: We demonstrate ultrabroadband electro-optic detection of multi-THz transients using mechanically exfoliated flakes of gallium selenide of a thickness of less than 10 mu m, contacted to a diamond substrate by van-der-Waals bonding. While the low crystal thickness allows for extremely broadband phase matching, the excellent optical contact with the index-matched substrate suppresses multiple optical reflections. The high quality of our structure makes our scheme suitable for the undistorted and artifact-free observation of electromagnetic waveforms covering the entire THz spectral range up to the near-infrared regime without the need for correction for the electro-optic response function. With the current revolution of chemically inert quasi-two-dimensional layered materials, we anticipate that exfoliated vander-Waals materials on index-matched substrates will open new flexible ways of ultrabroadband electro-optic detection at unprecedented frequencies.

description: The landscape of social media content has evolved significantly, extending from text to multimodal formats. This evolution presents a significant challenge in combating misinformation. Previous research has primarily focused on single modalities or text-image combinations, leaving a gap in detecting multimodal misinformation. While the concept of entity consistency holds promise in detecting multimodal misinformation, simplifying the representation to a scalar value overlooks the inherent complexities of high-dimensional representations across different modalities. To address these limitations, we propose a Multimedia Misinformation Detection (MultiMD) framework for detecting misinformation from video content by leveraging cross-modal entity consistency. The proposed dual learning approach allows for not only enhancing misinformation detection performance but also improving representation learning of entity consistency across different modalities. Our results demonstrate that MultiMD outperforms state-of-the-art baseline models and underscore the importance of each modality in misinformation detection. Our research provides novel methodological and technical insights into multimodal misinformation detection.

Informed Source Separation for Multiple Instruments of Similar Timbre
Creators: name: López, Jakue
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2013

description: This Master’s thesis focuses on the challenging task of separating the musical audio sources with instruments of similar timbre. We address the case in which external pitch information to assist the separation process is available. This information is provided to the source / filter model, which is embedded in a Non-Negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) framework that processes the audio input spectrogram. Different state of the art literature methods are inspected and extended. As an extension to these, two new separation methods are proposed, the Multi-Excitation and Single Filter Instantaneous Mixture Model and the Multi-Excitation and Multi-Filter Instantaneous Mixture Model. The use of dedicated source and filter decomposition for each instrument is proposed. In addition, we introduce the use of timbre models in the separation process. Timbre models are previously trained on isolated instrument recordings. The methods are compared with the BSS Eval and PEASS evaluation toolkits over an existing dataset. Promising results obtained in the conducted experiments, which shows that this is a path to be further investigated.

Integrating an Automatic Tonal Expert Agent into a Real-time Music Environment
Creators: name: Pilaszanovich, Jakab
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2013

description: The idea of connecting the realm of symbolic music making and the direct use of audio is a relevant problem in today’s music production technologies. In an effort to overcome these issues two different versions of musical expert agents were implemented for a real-time environment. These served as a basis for providing musical knowledge to the instrument player by suggesting multiple sets of symbolic tonal material. The focus was on the generative methods in which the link between the suggested notes and the simultaneously played sound files was made. After conducting a qualitative user test, the overall observation was that players preferred using the automatic expert agents to the manual scenario. In addition, it was concluded that people with less musical knowledge found the automatic tools more useful than people with more musical background.

Optical fingerprint of dark 2p-states in transition metal dichalcogenides

description: We present a microscopic study on higher excitonic states in transition metal dichalcogenides in the presence of disorder. We show that the geometric phase cancels the degeneration of 2s and 2p states and that a significant disorder-induced coupling of bright and dark states offers a strategy to circumvent optical selection rules. As a prove, we show a direct fingerprint of dark 2p states in absorption spectra of WS$_2$. The predicted softening of optical selection rules through exciton-disorder coupling is of general nature and therefore applicable to related two-dimensional semiconductors.
Heart and diamond Fermi arcs in Pd and Pt oxide topological Dirac semimetals

description: Topological Dirac semimetals (DSMs) exhibit nodal points through which energy bands disperse linearly in three-dimensional (3D) momentum space, a 3D analogue of graphene. The first experimentally confirmed DSMs with a pair of Dirac points (DPs), Na$_{3}$Bi and Cd$_{3}$As$_{2}$, show topological surface Fermi arc states and exotic magneto-transport properties, boosting the interest in the search for stable and nontoxic DSM materials. Here, based on the {\it ab-initio} band structure calculations we predict a family of palladium and platinum oxides as robust 3D DSMs. The novel topological properties of these compounds are distinct from all other previously reported DSMs, they are rendered by the multiple number of DPs in the compounds. We show that along three unit axes of the cubic lattice there exist three pairs of DPs, which are linked by Fermi arcs on the surface. The Fermi arcs display a Lifshitz transition from a heart- to a diamond-shape upon varying the chemical potential. Corresponding oxides are already available as high-quality single crystals, which is an excellent precondition for the verification of our prediction by photoemission and magneto-transport experiments. Our findings not only predict a number of much robust 3D DSM candidates but also extend DSMs to transition metal oxides, a versatile family of materials, which opens the door to investigate the interplay between DSMs and electronic correlations that is not possible in the previously discovered DSM materials.

Human resilience to forward falls: adaptation and transfer of stability control
Creators: name: Werth, Julian
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 2023

description: Scoping fall resilience requires knowledge of factors enabling the neuromotor system to transfer stability control between different postural perturbations. This thesis addressed this objective in comprising three different studies on adults across
the lifespan. The first study examined the intra- and inter-session reliability of recovery performance across 97 participants at several research centres using two different protocols of a clinical assessment method (lean-and-release task) simulating sudden anterior stability loss, i.e. gradual increase to maximal forward-lean angle vs. predefined lean angle. Independent of the protocol used and participants’ age, reliable assessment of common stability recovery performance
parameters using the lean-and-release task could be confirmed. The second study used single exposures to both lean-and-release and a treadmill-based gait trip to investigate the association of recovery performance between unpractised perturbations. We revealed that recovery performance in one task could not significantly explain performance in the other task, indicating limited transfer of fall-resisting skills for anterior perturbations. The third study examined factors (particularly practising stability recovery responses with different perturbation magnitudes) that could elicit or limit transfer to unpractised perturbations.
Participants walking on a treadmill were exposed to eight trip perturbations of either low or high magnitude or walked unperturbed (control group). To investigate transfer to unpractised anterior perturbations following walking tasks, all participants underwent a lean-and-release task and an overground trip. Adaptation in stability to repeated gait-perturbations did not lead to enhanced stability recovery in the lean-and-release task but did improve overground trip performance, independent of the practised perturbation magnitude. Lower limb joint angle differences between treadmill- and lean-and-release perturbations for the swing phase of recovery steps were more prolonged and greater as opposed to the comparison of the two gait perturbation tasks. In conclusion, the current work indicates that practising stability control enhances human resilience to unpractised perturbations which is not necessarily dependent on the perturbation magnitude but may partly be subject to similarity in motor response patterns between tasks.
A methodology for audio ingestion, restoration and analysis in the sound archiving field
Creators: name: Giné, Enric
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2013

description: The goal of this master thesis is to propose a practical methodology for audio ingestion, restoration and analysis, focusing on the reproduction, signal extraction and restoration of obsolete mechanical formats (discs of the pre-vinyl era) and reproduction artefacts, from the point of view of patrimonial institutions and sound archives. It also aims at evaluating some current tools available for the analysis and restoration of degraded audio signals. Reviewed knowledge has been applied to a specific patrimonial collection, allowing thorough documentation, mechanical restoration and preservation, signal extraction and digital processing for relevant recordings of the first half of the XX century.
