Image inpainting using frequency domain priors

description: In this paper, we present a novel image inpainting technique using frequency domain information. Prior works on image inpainting predict the missing pixels by training neural networks using only the spatial domain information. However, these methods still struggle to reconstruct high-frequency details for real complex scenes, leading to a discrepancy in color, boundary artifacts, distorted patterns, and blurry textures. To alleviate these problems, we investigate if it is possible to obtain better performance by training the networks using frequency domain information (Discrete Fourier Transform) along with the spatial domain information. To this end, we propose a frequency-based deconvolution module that enables the network to learn the global context while selectively reconstructing the high-frequency components. We evaluate our proposed method on the publicly available datasets CelebA, Paris Streetview, and DTD texture dataset, and show that our method outperforms current state-of-the-art image inpainting techniques both qualitatively and quantitatively.

description: A framework analogous to path integrals in quantum physics is set up for abstract dynamical systems in a W*-algebraic setting. We consider spaces of evolutions, defined in a specific way, of a W*-algebra A as an analogue of spaces of classical paths, and show how integrals over such spaces, which we call ``evolution integrals'', lead to dynamics in a Hilbert space on a ``higher level'' which is viewed as an analogue of quantum dynamics obtained from path integrals. The measures with respect to which these integrals are performed are projection valued.

description: Finding ground state energies on current quantum processing units (QPUs) using algorithms like the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) continues to pose challenges. Hardware noise severely affects both the expressivity and trainability of parametrized quantum circuits, limiting them to shallow depths in practice. Here, we demonstrate that both issues can be addressed by synergistically integrating VQE with a quantum subspace expansion, allowing for an optimal balance between quantum and classical computing capabilities and costs. We perform a systematic benchmark analysis of the iterative quantum-assisted eigensolver of [K. Bharti and T. Haug, Phys. Rev. A {\bf 104}, L050401 (2021)] in the presence of hardware noise. We determine ground state energies of 1D and 2D mixed-field Ising spin models on noisy simulators and on the IBM QPUs ibmq_quito (5 qubits) and ibmq_guadalupe (16 qubits). To maximize accuracy, we propose a suitable criterion to select the subspace basis vectors according to the trace of the noisy overlap matrix. Finally, we show how to systematically approach the exact solution by performing controlled quantum error mitigation based on probabilistic error reduction on the noisy backend fake_guadalupe.

G026.50$+$0.28. is located at the near end of the Galactic bar, perhaps at the origin of the Norma spiral arm. G020.77$-$0.05 is in the Galactic Center region and is likely associated with a far-side extension of the Scutum arm. G019.60$-$0.23 and G020.08$-$0.13 are likely associated and lie well past the Galactic Center.

Planning from the fringes: women’s organized action and community planning: a case study of the Nicola Valley Women in Action, Merritt, B.C.
Creators: name: Griffith, Lisa Susanne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Women's community organizing for change has the potential to improve many aspects of women's lives, the lives of their families, and community members at large. Yet the role of women's organized action in shaping the social environment is not well understood and is rarely supported by the mainstream institutions of planning. In rural areas, women's contributions to community planning may be even less apparent given the voluntary nature of their work and the lack of sensitivity paid to women's particular needs. The purpose of this study is to contribute to contemporary planning thought by providing some insight in to why, to what extent, and how women successfully organize to meet their social needs in rural communities. Two themes are examined: (1) the motivating factors that led to the development of a women's planning rganization, the Nicola Valley Women in Action, (NVWIA) in Merritt, B.C., and; (2) the dynamic forces in this community that support and/or limit women's abilities to engage in gender-informed community planning. A literature review outlines the need for gender-sensitive approaches to planning and the potential of women's community organizing for change (feminist activism) to serve as a catalyst for gendersensitive planning praxis. To explore the experiences of a particular group of women engaged in community organizing from a feminist perspective, a case study of the NVWIA is described through a review of organizational material and interviews with members. The principal findings are: (1) there was a definite need for gender-sensitive planning to meet the social needs of women in Merritt; (2) factors such as the lack of gender-sensitivity in institutional planning, the existence of barriers to women's involvement, and the dearth of opportunities for women in Merritt to influence decision-making motivated the development of the NVWIA; (3) opportunities, including government incentive, municipal support, inter-agency co-operation, organizing skills and member initiative, enabled the NVWIA to successfully respond to women's needs; and (4) constraints, including the absence of funding, philosophical differences, anti-feminist sentiment, and limits to voluntary time, hinder the ability of the NVWIA to continue its efforts. The study highlights the value of supporting women's community organizing as a means of encouraging planning approaches in rural areas that are gender-sensitive. It concludes by identifying the implications for self-help and professional planners wishing to support women's organized action.

description: Imperfections in the surface of intracavity elements of an optical ring resonator can scatter light from one mode into the counterpropagating mode. The phase-locking of the cavity modes induced by this backscattering is a well-known example that notoriously afflicts laser gyroscopes and similar active systems. We experimentally show how backscattering can be circumvented in a unidirectionally operated ring cavity either by an appropriate choice of the resonant cavity mode or by active feedback control.

Single-qubit operations in the double-donor structure driven by strongly detuned optical pulses
Creators: name: Tsukanov, Alexander V.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study theoretically the quantum dynamics of an electron in the singly-ionized double-donor structure in the semiconductor host under the influence of two strongly detuned laser pulses. This structure can be used as a charge qubit where the logical states are defined by the lowest two energy states of the remaining valence electron localized around one or another donor. The quantum operations are performed via Raman-like transitions between the localized (qubit) states and the manyfold of states delocalized over the structure. The possibility of realization of arbitrary single-qubit rotations, including the phase gate, the NOT gate, and the Hadamard gate, is demonstrated. The advantages of the off-resonant driving scheme for charge qubit manipulations are discussed in comparison with the resonant scheme proposed earlier.

description: This article introduces a new mobile-based application of modern information and communication technology in agriculture based on Internet of Things (IoT), embedded systems and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The proposed agricultural monitoring system was designed and implemented using Arduino microcontroller boards, Wi-Fi modules, water pumps and electronic environmental sensors, namely temperature, humidity and soil moisture. The role of UAV in this study is to collect these environmental data from different regions of the farm. Then, the quantity of water irrigation is automatically computed for each region in the cloud. Moreover, the developed system can monitor the farm conditions including the water requirements remotely on Android mobile application to guide the farmers. The results of this study demonstrated that our proposed IoT-based embedded system can be effective to avoid unnecessary and wasted water irrigation within the framework of smart agriculture.

description: The exploration of intelligent machines has recently spurred the development of physical neural networks, a class of intelligent metamaterials capable of learning, whether in silico or in situ, from observed data. In this study, we introduce a back-propagation framework for lattice-based mechanical neural networks (MNNs) to achieve prescribed static and dynamic performance. This approach leverages the steady states of nodes for back-propagation, efficiently updating the learning degrees of freedom without prior knowledge of input loading. One-dimensional MNNs, trained with back-propagation in silico, can exhibit the desired behaviors on demand function as intelligent mechanical machines. The framework is then employed for the precise morphing control of the two-dimensional MNNs subjected to different static loads. Moreover, the intelligent MNNs are trained to execute classical machine learning tasks such as regression to tackle various deformation control tasks. Finally, the disordered MNNs are constructed and trained to demonstrate pre-programmed wave bandgap control ability, illustrating the versatility of the proposed approach as a platform for physical learning. Our approach presents an efficient pathway for the design of intelligent mechanical metamaterials for a wide range of static and dynamic target functionalities, positioning them as powerful engines for physical learning.

description: We present a comparative study of the application of a recently introduced heuristic algorithm to the optimization of transport on three major types of complex networks. The algorithm balances network traffic iteratively by minimizing the maximum node betweenness with as little path lengthening as possible. We show that by using this optimal routing, a network can sustain significantly higher traffic without jamming than in the case of shortest path routing. A formula is proved that allows quick computation of the average number of hops along the path and of the average travel times once the betweennesses of the nodes are computed. Using this formula, we show that routing optimization preserves the small-world character exhibited by networks under shortest path routing, and that it significantly reduces the average travel time on congested networks with only a negligible increase in the average travel time at low loads. Finally, we study the correlation between the weights of the links in the case of optimal routing and the betweennesses of the nodes connected by them.

Near-Tight Runtime Guarantees for Many-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Neural and Evolutionary Computing (cs.NE)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Despite significant progress in the field of mathematical runtime analysis of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs), the performance of MOEAs on discrete many-objective problems is little understood. In particular, the few existing bounds for the SEMO, global SEMO, and SMS-EMOA algorithms on classic benchmarks are all roughly quadratic in the size of the Pareto front. In this work, we prove near-tight runtime guarantees for these three algorithms on the four most common benchmark problems OneMinMax, CountingOnesCountingZeros, LeadingOnesTrailingZeros, and OneJumpZeroJump, and this for arbitrary numbers of objectives. Our bounds depend only linearly on the Pareto front size, showing that these MOEAs on these benchmarks cope much better with many objectives than what previous works suggested. Our bounds are tight apart from small polynomial factors in the number of objectives and length of bitstrings. This is the first time that such tight bounds are proven for many-objective uses of these MOEAs. While it is known that such results cannot hold for the NSGA-II, we do show that our bounds, via a recent structural result, transfer to the NSGA-III algorithm.

description: Tungsten ditelluride WTe$_2$ is a type-II Weyl semimetal with electronic properties highly sensitive to external pressure, as demonstrated by the superconductivity emerging under pressure. Here, we study the optical conductivity of the type-II Weyl semimetal WTe$_2$ under external pressure at room temperature. With increasing pressure, a pronounced spectral weight transfer occurs from the high-energy to the low-energy interband transitions, with drastic changes in the profile of the optical conductivity spectrum indicating a high sensitivity of the electronic band structure to external pressure. The detailed analysis of the pressure-dependent optical conductivity furthermore reveals anomalies at the pressures $\sim$2 and $\sim$4.5~GPa, where an electronic and a structural phase transition, respectively, were reported in the literature.

description: We present a fully non-perturbative computation of the mass of the b-quark in the quenched approximation. Our strategy starts from the matching of HQET to QCD in a finite volume and finally relates the quark mass to the spin averaged mass of the Bs meson in HQET. All steps include the terms of order Lambda^2/Mb. Expanding on [1], we discuss the computation and renormalization of correlation functions at order 1/Mb. With the strange quark mass fixed from the Kaon mass and the QCD scale set through r0=0.5 fm, we obtain a renormalization group invariant mass Mb = 6.758(86) GeV or mb(mb)= 4.347(48) GeV in the MS-bar scheme. The uncertainty in the computed Lambda^2/Mb terms contributes little to the total error and Lambda^3/Mb^2 terms are negligible. The strategy is promising for full QCD as well as for other B-physics observables.

Civil litigation, probate and bankruptcy procedures: a diplomatic examination of British Columbia Supreme Court records
Creators: name: Mitchell, Elizabeth Joan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: For centuries, the theory and principles of diplomatics have played a role in the work of European archivists. In North America, however, its relevance is still under scrutiny. This thesis employs diplomatic analysis to test its validity when applied to modern documents and procedures. To investigate the significance of diplomatic methodology and analysis, this thesis first discusses the recent history and structure of the British Columbia court system. It then examines a selection of case files from the civil, probate and bankruptcy registries, and it assigns the documents within to one of the six phases of a procedure: initiative, inquiry, consultation, deliberation, deliberation control, and execution. The study concludes by discussing the diplomatic character of the procedures and its importance in the understanding of modern records. More specifically, it outlines how diplomatics and procedural analysis can assist records professionals in the development of classification systems and retention and disposition schedules; the design of automated records management systems; and archival appraisal, arrangement and description.

We study the topological properties of such MTI/SC heterostructures upon variation of the geometry from wide slabs to quasi-1D nanoribbon systems and as a function of the chemical potential, the magnetic doping, and the induced superconducting pairing potential. To do so, we construct effective symmetry-constrained low-energy Hamiltonians accounting for the real-space confinement. For a nanoribbon geometry with finite width and length, we observe different phases characterized by CMESs, MBSs, as well as coexisting CMESs and MBSs, as the chemical potential, the magnetic doping and/or the width are varied.

description: Spectral variability of radio sources encodes information about the conditions of intervening media, source structure, and emission processes. With new low-frequency radio interferometers observing over wide fractional bandwidths, studies of spectral variability for a large population of extragalactic radio sources are now possible. Using two epochs of observations from the GaLactic and Extragalactic All-sky Murchison Widefield Array (GLEAM) survey that were taken one year apart, we search for spectral variability across 100--230 MHz for 21,558 sources. We present methodologies for detecting variability in the spectrum between epochs and for classifying the type of variability: either as a change in spectral shape or as a uniform change in flux density across the bandwidth. We identify 323 sources with significant spectral variability over a year-long timescale. Of the 323 variable sources, we classify 51 of these as showing a significant change in spectral shape. Variability is more prevalent in peaked-spectrum sources, analogous to gigahertz-peaked spectrum and compact steep-spectrum sources, compared to typical radio galaxies. We discuss the viability of several potential explanations of the observed spectral variability, such as interstellar scintillation and jet evolution. Our results suggest that the radio sky in the megahertz regime is more dynamic than previously suggested.

description: Additional file 1 : Figure S1. % Mortality of VK7 (lowly resistant, LR) and VK7 (highly resistant, HR) after 24 hours of 1 hour deltamethrin exposure. Two doses were used , the diagnostic (0.05% deltamethrin), where all VK7 LR were dead and all VK7 HR tested were alive and one lower dose (0.0016%), where almost half VK7 LR survived (LC50) and no mortality was recorded for VK7 HR. Figure S2. Graphical depiction of leg dissections, just on their adhesion to the thorax, in order to isolate whole legs including all their segments (coxa, trochanter, femur, tibia, tarsus). Figure S3. Principal components analysis of the gene expression levels for the An. coluzzii leg and whole body samples. Figure S4. Principal components analysis of the gene expression levels for the four An. coluzzii samples. Replicates N’Gousso_3, VK7-HR_4 and VK7-IN_2 that do not follow the expected pattern were excluded from all downstream analyses. Figure S5. Over-represented GO terms (A) in the 359 up-regulated, and (B) in the 477 down-regulated genes in the An. coluzzii leg compared to whole body. Figure S6. Over-represented GO terms (A) in the 73 commonly up-regulated, and (B) in the 159 commonly down-regulated genes in the two comparisons related to constitutive resistance (VK7-HR vs VK7-LR and VK7-HR vs N’Gousso). Figure S7. Enriched functions in the 348 up-regulated genes, after induction with deltamethrin (VK7-IN versus VK7-HR). Figure S8. Phylogenetic comparison between the An. coluzzii and the C. pipiens pallens opsin genes. This analysis shows that three of the up-regulated An. coluzzii opsin genes after deltamethrin exposure (GPROP1, GPROP3, GPROP4) form a sister clade to that containing NYD-OP7 in C. pipiens pallens. The up-regulated An. gambiae opsin genes after deltamethrin exposure are marked with a red star, while the scale bar refers to substitutions per site. The tree was midpoint-rooted to resolve an existing trifurcation.

description: Learning problems form an important category of computational tasks that generalizes many of the computations researchers apply to large real-life data sets. We ask: what concept classes can be learned privately, namely, by an algorithm whose output does not depend too heavily on any one input or specific training example? More precisely, we investigate learning algorithms that satisfy differential privacy, a notion that provides strong confidentiality guarantees in contexts where aggregate information is released about a database containing sensitive information about individuals. We demonstrate that, ignoring computational constraints, it is possible to privately agnostically learn any concept class using a sample size approximately logarithmic in the cardinality of the concept class. Therefore, almost anything learnable is learnable privately: specifically, if a concept class is learnable by a (non-private) algorithm with polynomial sample complexity and output size, then it can be learned privately using a polynomial number of samples. We also present a computationally efficient private PAC learner for the class of parity functions. Local (or randomized response) algorithms are a practical class of private algorithms that have received extensive investigation. We provide a precise characterization of local private learning algorithms. We show that a concept class is learnable by a local algorithm if and only if it is learnable in the statistical query (SQ) model. Finally, we present a separation between the power of interactive and noninteractive local learning algorithms.

description: Click-through rate (CTR) prediction is crucial for personalized online services. Sample-level retrieval-based models, such as RIM, have demonstrated remarkable performance. However, they face challenges including inference inefficiency and high resource consumption due to the retrieval process, which hinder their practical application in industrial settings. To address this, we propose a universal plug-and-play \underline{r}etrieval-\underline{o}riented \underline{k}nowledge (\textbf{\name}) framework that bypasses the real retrieval process. The framework features a knowledge base that preserves and imitates the retrieved \& aggregated representations using a decomposition-reconstruction paradigm. Knowledge distillation and contrastive learning optimize the knowledge base, enabling the integration of retrieval-enhanced representations with various CTR models. Experiments on three large-scale datasets demonstrate \name's exceptional compatibility and performance, with the neural knowledge base serving as an effective surrogate for the retrieval pool. \name surpasses the teacher model while maintaining superior inference efficiency and demonstrates the feasibility of distilling knowledge from non-parametric methods using a parametric approach. These results highlight \name's strong potential for real-world applications and its ability to transform retrieval-based methods into practical solutions. Our implementation code is available to support reproducibility in \url{https://github.com/HSLiu-Initial/ROK.git}.

description: Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) execute critical control software that drives Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS). PLCs can become easy targets for cyber-adversaries as they are resource-constrained and are usually built using legacy, less-capable security measures. Security attacks can significantly affect system availability, which is an essential requirement for IACS. We propose a method to make PLC applications more security-aware. Based on the well-known IEC 61499 function blocks standard for developing IACS software, our method allows designers to annotate critical parts of an application during design time. On deployment, these parts of the application are automatically secured using appropriate security mechanisms to detect and prevent attacks. We present a summary of availability attacks on distributed IACS applications that can be mitigated by our proposed method. Security mechanisms are achieved using IEC 61499 Service-Interface Function Blocks (SIFBs) embedding Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS), added to the application at compile time. This method is more amenable to providing active security protection from attacks on previously unknown (zero-day) vulnerabilities. We test our solution on an IEC 61499 application executing on Wago PFC200 PLCs. Experiments show that we can successfully log and prevent attacks at the application level as well as help the application to gracefully degrade into safe mode, subsequently improving availability.

Paradigms and the acquisition of agreement morphology in German
Creators: name: Thompson, William Karl
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In this thesis, I present arguments for a model of language acquisition with three characteristics. These are (1) Continuity in the abstract principles of Universal Grammar; (2) Lexical Learning, or the setting of syntactic parameters based upon the acquisition of morphology; and (3) Morpholexical Learning, which is the abstraction of morphological patterns and generalizations from a lexical database. Continuity accounts for what is invariant in language development. Lexical Learning accounts for what is languageparticular, and which therefore must be learned. Morpholexical Learning accounts for the sequence of developmental stages observed in child language data. The main goal of this thesis is to demonstrate that Morpholexical Learning, in conjunction with paradigmatic structure in the lexicon, provides a model for the acquisition of inflectional morphology. I demonstrate this proposal with data on the acquisition of subject-verb agreement morphology in German. In Chapter One, I present an introduction to the concerns and main proposals of this thesis. In Chapter Two, I motivate the existence of paradigmatic structure with three diachronic case studies. In Chapter Three, I return to the acquisitional debates introduced in Chapter One. I argue that the Continuity Hypothesis represents a preferable alternative to the Maturational Hypothesis. Next, I show that Lexical Learning of clausal representations is superior to the Lexical Projection Hypothesis and the Full Competence Hypothesis. I argue that Morpholexical Learning provides an answer to the Developmental Problem which Continuity and Lexical Learning create. In Chapter Four, I provide an extended case study of the acquisition of subjectverb agreement in German. The construction of word-specific paradigms during the stages under examination accounts for the pattern of agreement errors which German children produce. In Chapter Five, I continue the analysis of paradigm mixture begun in Chapter Two. The patterns of paradigm mixture attested Latin, German, and Icelandic are in essence identical to one another, which suggests universal principles of inflectional organization. In Chapter Six, I conclude the thesis with a sketch of how children develop from the "word-specific paradigm" stage to the "general paradigm stage".

description: As Ethereum continues to thrive, the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) has become the cornerstone powering tens of millions of active smart contracts. Intuitively, security issues in EVMs could lead to inconsistent behaviors among smart contracts or even denial-of-service of the entire blockchain network. However, to the best of our knowledge, only a limited number of studies focus on the security of EVMs. Moreover, they suffer from 1) insufficient test input diversity and invalid semantics; and 2) the inability to automatically identify bugs and locate root causes. To bridge this gap, we propose OpDiffer, a differential testing framework for EVM, which takes advantage of LLMs and static analysis methods to address the above two limitations. We conducted the largest-scale evaluation, covering nine EVMs and uncovering 26 previously unknown bugs, 22 of which have been confirmed by developers and three have been assigned CNVD IDs. Compared to state-of-the-art baselines, OpDiffer can improve code coverage by at most 71.06%, 148.40% and 655.56%, respectively. Through an analysis of real-world deployed Ethereum contracts, we estimate that 7.21% of the contracts could trigger our identified EVM bugs under certain environmental settings, potentially resulting in severe negative impact on the Ethereum ecosystem.
