description: The decoherence of a quantum system $S$ coupled to a quantum environment $E$ is considered. For states chosen uniformly at random from the unit hypersphere in the Hilbert space of the closed system $S+E$ we derive a scaling relationship for the sum of the off-diagonal elements of the reduced density matrix of $S$ as a function of the size $D_E$ of the Hilbert space of $E$. This sum decreases as $1/\sqrt{D_E}$ as long as $D_E\gg 1$. This scaling prediction is tested by performing large-scale simulations which solve the time-dependent Schr{ö}dinger equation for a ring of spin-1/2 particles, four of them belonging to $S$ and the others to $E$. Provided that the time evolution drives the whole system from the initial state toward a state which has similar properties as states belonging to the class of quantum states for which we derived the scaling relationship, the scaling prediction holds. For systems which do not exhibit this feature, it is shown that increasing the complexity (in terms of connections) of the environment or introducing a small amount of randomness in the interactions in the environment suffices to observe the predicted scaling behavior.

description: In this thesis we advance state-of-the-art of the non-metric k-NN search by carrying out an extensive empirical evaluation (both and intrinsic) of generic methods for k-NN search. This work contributes to establishing a collection of strong benchmarks for data sets with generic distances. We start with intrinsic evaluations and demonstrate that non metric k-NN search is a practical and reasonably accurate tool for a wide variety of complex distances. However, somewhat surprisingly, achieving good performance does not require distance mapping/proxying via metric learning or distance symmetrization. Existing search methods can often work directly with non-metric and non-symmetric distances. They outperform the filter-and-refine approach relying on the distance symmetrization in the filtering step. Intrinsic evaluations are complemented with extrinsic evaluations in a realistic text retrieval task. In doing so, we make a step towards replacing/complementing classic term-based retrieval with a generic k-NN search algorithm. To this end we use a similarity function that takes into account subtle term associations, which are learned from a parallel monolingual corpus. An exact brute-force k-NN search using this similarity function is quite slow. We show that an approximate search algorithm can be 100-300 times faster at the expense of only a small loss in accuracy (10%). On one data set, a retrieval pipeline using an approximate k-NN search is twice as efficient as the C++ baseline while being as accurate as the Lucene-based fusion pipeline. We note, however, that it is necessary to compare our methods against more recent ranking algorithms. The thesis is concluded with a summary of learned lessons and open research questions (relevant to this work). We also discuss potential challenges facing a retrieval system designer.
On the data processing theorem in the semi-deterministic setting

description: Data processing lower bounds on the expected distortion are derived in the finite-alphabet semi-deterministic setting, where the source produces a deterministic, individual sequence, but the channel model is probabilistic, and the decoder is subjected to various kinds of limitations, e.g., decoders implementable by finite-state machines, with or without counters, and with or without a restriction of common reconstruction with high probability. Some of our bounds are given in terms of the Lempel-Ziv complexity of the source sequence or the reproduction sequence. We also demonstrate how some analogous results can be obtained for classes of linear encoders and linear decoders in the continuous alphabet case.

description: The number of publicly available Web services (WS) is continuously growing. To perform efficient WS discovery, it is desirable to organize the WS space. Works in this direction propose to group WS according to certain shared properties. Such groups commonly called communities are based either on similarity or on interaction between WS. In this paper we focus on the former, and propose a new network-based approach to extract communities from a WS collection. This process is three-stepped: first we define several similarity functions able to compare WS operations, second we use them to build so-called similarity networks, and third we identify communities under the form of specific structures in these networks. We apply our method on a collection of real-world WS and comment the resulting communities. Finally, we additionally provide an analysis and an interpretation of our similarity networks with a complex networks perspective.

description: We explore non-thermal emission from a shocked interstellar medium, which is identified as an expanding shell, driven by a relativistic jet in active galactic nuclei (AGNs). In this work, we particularly focus on parsec-scale size mini-shells surrounding mini radio lobes. From radio to X-ray band, the mini radio lobe emission dominates the faint emission from the mini-shell. On the other hand, we find that inverse-Compton (IC) emission from the shell can overwhelm the associated lobe emission at very high energy (VHE; E>100 GeV) gamma-ray range, because energy densities of synchrotron photons from the lobe and/or soft photons from the AGN nucleus are large and IC scattering effectively works. The predicted IC emission from nearby mini-shells can be detected with the Cherencov Telescope Array (CTA) and they are potentially a new class of VHE gamma-ray emitters.

description: The goal of this paper is proving the existence and then localizing global fixed points for nilpotent groups generated by homeomorphisms of the plane satisfying a certain Lipschitz condition. The condition is inspired in a classical result of Bonatti for commuting diffeomorphisms of the 2-sphere and in particular it is satisfied by diffeomorphisms, not necessarily of class $C^{1}$, whose linear part at every point is uniformly close to the identity. In this same setting we prove a version of the Cartwright-Littlewood theorem, obtaining fixed points in any continuum preserved by a nilpotent action.

description: The role of fixed degrees of freedom in soft/granular matter systems has broad applicability and theoretical interest. Here we address questions of the geometrical role that a scaffolding of fixed particles plays in tuning the threshold volume fraction and force network in the vicinity of jamming. Our 2d simulated system consists of soft particles and fixed "pins", both of which harmonically repel overlaps. On one hand, we find that many of the critical scalings associated with jamming in the absence of pins continue to hold in the presence of even dense pin latices. On the other hand, the presence of pins lowers the jamming threshold, in a universal way at low pin densities and a geometry-dependent manner at high pin densities, producing packings with lower densities and fewer contacts between particles. The onset of strong lattice dependence coincides with the development of bond-orientational order. Furthermore, the presence of pins dramatically modifies the network of forces, with both unusually weak and unusually strong forces becoming more abundant. The spatial organization of this force network depends on pin geometry and is described in detail. Using persistent homology we demonstrate that pins modify the topology of the network. Finally, we observe clear signatures of this developing bond-orientational order and broad force distribution in the elastic moduli which characterize the linear response of these packings to strain.

description: Compared with the signature of dark matter elastic scattering off nuclei, the absorption of fermionic dark matter by nuclei opens up a new searching channel for light dark matter with a characteristic monoenergetic signal. In this Letter, we explore the $95.0$-day data from the PandaX-4T commissioning run and report the first dedicated searching results of the fermionic dark matter absorption signal through a neutral current process. No significant signal was found, and the lowest limit on the dark matter-nucleon interaction cross section is set to be $1.5\times10^{-50}$ cm$^2$ for a fermionic dark matter mass of $40$ MeV/$c^2$ with 90\% confidence level.

description: The NP-hard problem of optimizing a quadratic form over the unimodular vector set arises in radar code design scenarios as well as other active sensing and communication applications. To tackle this problem (which we call unimodular quadratic programming (UQP)), several computational approaches are devised and studied. A specialized local optimization scheme for UQP is introduced and shown to yield superior results compared to general local optimization methods. Furthermore, a \textbf{m}onotonically \textbf{er}ror-bound \textbf{i}mproving \textbf{t}echnique (MERIT) is proposed to obtain the global optimum or a local optimum of UQP with good sub-optimality guarantees. The provided sub-optimality guarantees are case-dependent and generally outperform the $π/4$ approximation guarantee of semi-definite relaxation. Several numerical examples are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed method. The examples show that for cases including several matrix structures used in radar code design, MERIT can solve UQP efficiently in the sense of sub-optimality guarantee and computational time.

Speech Synthesis from Found Data

description: Text-to-speech synthesis (TTS) has progressed to such a stage that given a large, clean, phonetically balanced dataset from a single speaker, it can produce intelligible, almost natural sounding speech. However, one is severely limited in building such systems for low-resource languages where there is a lack of such data and there is no access to a native speaker. Thus, the goal in this thesis is to use the data that is freely available on the web, a.k.a, “Found Data” to build TTS systems. However, since this data is collected from different sources, it is noisy and contains a lot of variations in terms of speaker, language and channel characteristics as well as prosody and speaking style. Conventional TTS systems on the other hand, require a large collection of clean, phonetically balanced, single-speaker data recorded specifically for the purposes of building TTS systems. This presents us with a number of challenges in using found data for building TTS systems within the current pipeline. In this thesis, we address three of these challenges. First we look at data selection strategies to select good utterances from noisy found data which can produce intelligible speech. Second, we investigate data augmentation techniques from cleaner external sources of data. Specifically, we study cross lingual data augmentation techniques from high resource languages. However, often found audio data is untranscribed. Thus, we also look at methods of using untranscribed audio along with unrelated text data in the same language to build a decoder for transcription. Furthermore, we address the issue of language, speaker, and channel variations, by training multi-language, multi-speaker models, in a grapheme based neural attention framework. Lastly, since most of the speech data available on the web is in the form of audiobooks and podcasts, we explore iterative methods of learning a good prosody labelling for long form audio as well as learning prosody embeddings which mimic metrical structure of utterances in an unsupervised fashion to better match the acoustics of the data. In addition, we investigate methods of learning a set of “prominence weights” in attention based neural models, with the goal of improving prosody as well as overall quality of synthesized speech.

description: The electronic structure of the kagome staircase compounds, Ni3V2O8 and Co3V2O8, has been investigated using soft x-ray absorption, soft x-ray emission, and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS). Comparison between the two compounds, and with first principles band structure calculations and crystal-field multiplet models, provide unique insight into the electronic structure of the two materials. Whereas the location of the narrow (Ni,Co) d bands is predicted to be close to EF, we experimentally find they lie deeper in the occupied O 2p and unoccupied V 3d manifolds, and determine their energy via measured charge-transfer excitations. Additionally, we find evidence for a dd excitation at 1.5 eV in Ni3V2O8, suggesting the V d states may be weakly occupied in this compound, contrary to Co3V2O8. Good agreement is found between the crystal-field dd excitations observed in the experiment and predicted by atomic multiplet theory.

description: The stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds (SGWBs) from the cosmological first-order phase transitions (FOPTs) serve as a promising probe for the new physics beyond the standard model of particle physics. When most of the bubble walls collide with each other long after they had reached the terminal wall velocity, the dominated contribution to the SGWBs comes from the sound waves characterized by the efficiency factor of inserting the released vacuum energy into the bulk fluid motions. However, the previous works of estimating this efficiency factor have only considered the simplified case of the constant sound velocities in both symmetric and broken phases, either for the bag model with equal sound velocities or $ν$-model with different sound velocities in the symmetric and broken phases, which is unrealistic from a viewpoint of particle physics. In this paper, we propose to solve the fluid EoM with an iteration method when taking into account the sound-velocity variation across the bubble wall for a general and realistic equation of state (EoS) beyond the simple bag model and $ν$-model. We have found a suppression effect for the efficiency factor of bulk fluid motions, though such a suppression effect could be negligible for the strong FOPT, in which case the previous estimation from a bag EoS on the efficiency factor of bulk fluid motions still works as a good approximation.

description: The Askey-Wilson polynomials are orthogonal polynomials in $x = \cos θ$, which are given as a terminating $_4ϕ_3$ basic hypergeometric series. The non-symmetric Askey-Wilson polynomials are Laurent polynomials in $z=e^{iθ}$, which are given as a sum of two terminating $_4ϕ_3$'s. They satisfy a biorthogonality relation. In this paper new orthogonality relations for single $_4ϕ_3$'s which are Laurent polynomials in $z$ are given, which imply the non-symmetric Askey-Wilson biorthogonality. These results include discrete orthogonality relations. They can be considered as a classical analytic study of the results for non-symmetric Askey-Wilson polynomials which were previously obtained by affine Hecke algebra techniques.

description: We have analysed some structural properties of scale-free networks with the same degree distribution. Departing from a degree distribution obtained from the Barabási-Albert (BA) algorithm, networks were generated using four additional different algorithms a (Molloy-Reed, Kalisky, and two new models named A and B) besides the BA algorithm itself. For each network, we have calculated the following structural measures: average degree of the nearest neighbours, central point dominance, clustering coefficient, the Pearson correlation coefficient, and global efficiency. We found that different networks with the same degree distribution may have distinct structural properties. In particular, model B generates decentralized networks with a larger number of components, a smaller giant component size, and a low global efficiency when compared to the other algorithms, especially compared to the centralized BA networks that have all vertices in a single component, with a medium to high global efficiency. The other three models generate networks with intermediate characteristics between B and BA models. A consequence of this finding is that the dynamics of different phenomena on these networks may differ considerably.

title: Comprehensive analysis of design storm formulation across Newfoundland and under climate change with scarce data
Creators: name: Amponsah, Abena Owusua
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2023

description: Urban and rural watersheds are becoming increasingly vulnerable to extreme weather events and their consequences. One such consequence is flooding. Stormwater management systems need to be efficiently designed to handle both the quantity and quality of floodwaters. Efficient stormwater systems can be achieved when design parameters are set to their optimum. The design parameters for proper sizing of stormwater infrastructure are obtained from design storms, a combination of Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) curves and a rainfall temporal distribution. IDF curves are developed using rainfall data; as such, changes to the climate will affect these curves. There is a need to re-evaluate the current design storms to determine how they will be affected by the changing climate. Evaluating a design storm from a chaotic variable such as precipitation is complex, and the variation in climate makes it more complicated. Information on IDF curves is challenging to obtain, especially at locations where precipitation data is lacking or for which there is little data. The focus of this study is the use of models for data generation and analysis of data for appropriate temporal distribution identification. The application of the work in this thesis provides information to guide engineering design and other hydrological studies under climate change. This thesis presents a series of studies that: assess the impact of climate variations on temporal distributions used in design storm analysis; analyzes how these temporal distribution patterns - when combined with other hydrologic factors - can impact mapping for risk of floods, especially under climate change projections, and develops a precipitation disaggregation model. The assessment of temporal distribution variation with climate shows that current temporal distributions being used may result in under- or over-design based on the location of interest and climate condition used, either current climate or future climate projections. It highlights the importance of using the appropriate temporal distribution to justify the conservative design. The temporal distributions identified are taken a step further to determine their interplay with hydrologic loss methods and their impact on mapping for the risk of floods. The outcome shows that the extent of a flooded area is highly sensitive to the temporal distribution and loss method used. A precipitation disaggregation model is also developed by coupling a method-of-fragments model with a crossover operator and applied to meteorological stations at Ruby Line, St. John’s and Corner Brook to generate hourly data from daily data. These stations were chosen to mainly draw attention to the lack of precipitation data across most locations in the province. The results show that the model can generate hourly data statistics similar to that observed.

description: Very recently, as an important step in the development of layered Fe-free pnictide-oxide superconductors, the new phase BaTi2Bi2O was discovered which has the highest TC (about 4.6 K) among all related non-doped systems. In this Letter, we report for the first time the electronic bands, Fermi surface topology, total and partial densities of electronic states for BaTi2Bi2O obtained by means of the first-principles FLAPW-GGA calculations. The inter-atomic bonding picture is described as a high-anisotropic mixture of metallic, covalent, and ionic contributions. Besides, the structural and electronic factors, which can be responsible for the increased transition temperature for BaTi2Bi2O (as compared with related pnictide-oxides BaTi2As2O and BaTi2Sb2O), are discussed.

description: Understanding images requires rich background knowledge that is not often written down and hard for current computers to acquire. Traditional approach to overcoming this lack of knowledge in computer vision has been to manually summarize them in the form of labels or annotations. While such efforts are impressive, they suffer two critical issues when applied to recognition tasks: Scalability and Usefulness. This Ph.D. thesis has made progress toward solving both issues. Instead of manually labeling everything, we develop systems and approaches that can teach computers visual knowledge in a more automatic and scalable way. Specifically, we let them learn by looking at images returned by web search engines. We show that even with traditional, imperfect computer vision and natural language technologies, it is nevertheless possible to acquire various types of explicit visual knowledge at a large scale, and potentially become better as the system builds up from previous iterations. Moreover, by adapting end-to-end methods that train deep convolutional networks directly on Internet images, we verify that the intermediate vectorized layers can be convenient and generalizable implicit knowledge representations for visual recognition, even with noisy supervision signals. Such representation, while simple, can not only be transformed to discrete relationships as explicit knowledge, but also be exploited to accomplish complex-structured tasks like caption generation. Finally, we develop reasoning frameworks to use visual knowledge. To this end, we combine both implicit and explicit knowledge into a single pipeline – since the former is effective especially when abundant data is available; and the latter offers supervision, model explainability and alternative ways to help when few examples exist. As one building block, we present a local, spatial memory to store instances while preserving the intrinsic layout of the image. To leverage explicit knowledge, we additionally introduce a graph-based module for global reasoning. Both are tested to be helpful for enhancing the reasoning ability of current vision systems.
Do Mergers and Acquisitions Activities of Large-Cap Companies Affect Private Equity Firms’ Investment Strategies?

description: Almost all mergers and acquisitions deals were done by private equity firms and strategic investors, which are incumbent companies that purchase another company to achieve synergies. Private equity firms and strategic investors can be competitors when they are bidding on the same target company, but strategic investors can also become potential buyers of private equity fund’s portfolio companies. Given their unique relationship, I selected the largest 20 strategic investors from 10 sectors and used logistic regression and panel data analysis to answer the question: Do mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activities of large-cap corporations in the previous year affect private equity firms’ investment decisions on similar companies? The logistic regression showed that if the target company has the same SIC code as the companies acquired by big-cap corporations in the previous year, this deal has 65.7% lower odds to be PE funded. The panel data analysis tells us for every 1% increase in the percentage of companies acquired by big-cap companies in a particular sector in the previous year, PE firms would acquire 0.159% more companies in that sector. These results jointly showed that if the big-cap companies made more acquisitions in a particular sector in the previous year, in the current year, private equity firms would acquire fewer similar companies (companies with the same SIC code), but would increase their investments in other companies of that sector. This finding can help investors, business owners, and stock traders make or adjust their investment decisions.

description: High power, relativistic electron beams from energy recovery linacs have great potential to realize new experimental paradigms for pioneering innovation in fundamental and applied research. A major design consideration for this new generation of experimental capabilities is the understanding of the halo associated with these bright, intense beams. In this Letter, we report on measurements performed using the 100 MeV, 430 kWatt CW electron beam from the energy recovery linac at the Jefferson Laboratory's Free Electron Laser facility as it traversed a set of small apertures in a 127 mm long aluminum block. Thermal measurements of the block together with neutron measurements near the beam-target interaction point yielded a consistent understanding of the beam losses. These were determined to be 3 ppm through a 2 mm diameter aperture and were maintained during a 7 hour continuous run.

description: It is well-known that adaptive homodyne estimation of continuously varying optical phase provides superior accuracy in the phase estimate as compared to adaptive or non-adaptive static estimation. However, most phase estimation schemes rely on precise knowledge of the underlying parameters of the system under measurement, and performance deteriorates significantly with changes in these parameters; hence it is desired to develop robust estimation techniques immune to such uncertainties. In related works, we have already shown how adaptive homodyne estimation can be made robust to uncertainty in an underlying parameter of the phase varying as a simplistic Ornstein-Uhlenbeck stochastic noise process. Here, we demonstrate robust phase estimation for a more complicated resonant noise process using a guaranteed cost robust filter.

description: Classical spin Hamiltonians are a powerful tool to model complex systems, characterized by a local structure given by the local Hamiltonians. One of the best understood local structures is the grammar of formal languages, which are central in computer science and linguistics, and have a natural complexity measure given by the Chomsky hierarchy. If we see classical spin Hamiltonians as languages, what grammar do the local Hamiltonians correspond to? Here, we cast classical spin Hamiltonians as formal languages, and classify them in the Chomsky hierarchy. We prove that the language of (effectively) zero-dimensional spin Hamiltonians is regular, one-dimensional spin Hamiltonians is deterministic context-free, and higher-dimensional and all-to-all spin Hamiltonians is context-sensitive. This provides a new complexity measure for classical spin Hamiltonians, which captures the hardness of recognizing spin configurations and their energies. We compare it with the computational complexity of the ground state energy problem, and find a different easy-to-hard threshold for the Ising model. We also investigate the dependence on the language of the spin Hamiltonian. Finally, we define the language of the time evolution of a spin Hamiltonian and classify it in the Chomsky hierarchy. Our work suggests that universal spin models are weaker than universal Turing machines.

description: The recent wide usage of Interactive Systems (or Dialog Systems), such as Apple’s Siri has attracted a lot of attention. Besides personal assistants, dialog systems can also be applied in various domains, such as education, health care and entertainment. However, none of the current systems coordinate well with their users, leading to less than ideal performance. The ultimate goal for dialog research is to transform these current systems into real intelligent systems that can communicate with users effectively and naturally. There are three major challenges to this ultimate goal: first, how to make systems cooperate with users in a natural manner; second, how to provide adaptive and personalized experience to each user; and last, how to make multiple task systems transition from one task to another fluidly to achieve overall conversation effectiveness and naturalness. To address these challenges, I proposed a theoretical framework, Situated Intelligence (SI). In the SI framework, we argue that three capabilities are needed to achieve natural and high quality conversations: (1) situation awareness, which can be approximated by multimodal information; (2) a rich repertoire of conversation strategies to regulate systems’ situational contexts; and (3) a global planning policy that optimally chooses among different conversation strategies at run-time to achieve an overall natural conversation flow. We applied the SI framework to three different types of conversations: non-task-oriented conversations (e.g. social chat), task-oriented conversations (e.g. job interview training) and conversations that interleave both task and no-task content (e.g. movie promotion) and made a number of contributions in both algorithm development and end-to-end system building.
