description: The integrated optical circuit is a promising architecture for the realization of complex quantum optical states and information networks. One element that is required for many of these applications is a high-efficiency photon detector capable of photon-number discrimination. We present an integrated photonic system in the telecom band at 1550 nm based on UV-written silica-on-silicon waveguides and modified transition-edge sensors capable of number resolution and over 40% efficiency. Exploiting the mode transmission failure of these devices, we multiplex three detectors in series to demonstrate a combined 79% +/- 2% detection efficiency with a single pass, and 88% +/- 3% at the operating wavelength of an on-chip terminal reflection grating. Furthermore, our optical measurements clearly demonstrate no significant unexplained loss in this system due to scattering or reflections. This waveguide and detector design therefore allows the placement of number-resolving single-photon detectors of predictable efficiency at arbitrary locations within a photonic circuit - a capability that offers great potential for many quantum optical applications.

description: While much effort has been devoted to deriving and analyzing effective convex formulations of signal processing problems, the gradients of convex functions also have critical applications ranging from gradient-based optimization to optimal transport. Recent works have explored data-driven methods for learning convex objective functions, but learning their monotone gradients is seldom studied. In this work, we propose C-MGN and M-MGN, two monotone gradient neural network architectures for directly learning the gradients of convex functions. We show that, compared to state of the art methods, our networks are easier to train, learn monotone gradient fields more accurately, and use significantly fewer parameters. We further demonstrate their ability to learn optimal transport mappings to augment driving image data.

description: Cosmology is a field of physics in which the use of General Relativity theory is indispensable. However, a cosmology based on Newtonian gravity theory for gravity is possible in certain circumstances. The applicability of Newtonian theory can be substantially extended if it is modified in such way that pressure has a more active role as source of the gravitational field. This was done in the neo-Newtonian cosmology. The limitation on the construction of a Newtonian cosmology, and the need for a relativistic theory in cosmology are reviewed. The neo-Newtonian proposal is presented, and its consequences for cosmology are discussed.

description: Coordination is a challenging everyday task; just think of the last time you organized a party or a meeting involving several people. As a growing part of our social and professional life goes online, an opportunity for an improved coordination process arises. Recently, Gupta et al. proposed entangled queries as a declarative abstraction for data-driven coordination, where the difficulty of the coordination task is shifted from the user to the database. Unfortunately, evaluating entangled queries is very hard, and thus previous work considered only a restricted class of queries that satisfy safety (the coordination partners are fixed) and uniqueness (all queries need to be satisfied). In this paper we significantly extend the class of feasible entangled queries beyond uniqueness and safety. First, we show that we can simply drop uniqueness and still efficiently evaluate a set of safe entangled queries. Second, we show that as long as all users coordinate on the same set of attributes, we can give an efficient algorithm for coordination even if the set of queries does not satisfy safety. In an experimental evaluation we show that our algorithms are feasible for a wide spectrum of coordination scenarios.

description: Automatic Synthesizer Programming is the task of transforming an audio signal that was generated from a virtual instrument, into the parameters of a sound synthesizer that would generate this signal. In the past, this could only be done for one virtual instrument. In this paper, we expand the current literature by exploring approaches to automatic synthesizer programming for multiple virtual instruments. Two different approaches to multi-task automatic synthesizer programming are presented. We find that the joint-decoder approach performs best. We also evaluate the performance of this model for different timbre instruments and different latent dimension sizes.

description: This paper studies the solvability, existence of unique solution, closed-form solution and numerical solution of matrix equation $X=Af(X) B+C$ with $f(X) =X^{\mathrm{T}},$ $f(X) =\bar{X}$ and $f(X) =X^{\mathrm{H}},$ where $X$ is the unknown. It is proven that the solvability of these equations is equivalent to the solvability of some auxiliary standard Stein equations in the form of $W=\mathcal{A}W\mathcal{B}+\mathcal{C}$ where the dimensions of the coefficient matrices $\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B}$ and $\mathcal{C}$ are the same as those of the original equation. Closed-form solutions of equation $X=Af(X) B+C$ can then be obtained by utilizing standard results on the standard Stein equation. On the other hand, some generalized Stein iterations and accelerated Stein iterations are proposed to obtain numerical solutions of equation equation $X=Af(X) B+C$. Necessary and sufficient conditions are established to guarantee the convergence of the iterations.

Dependence of Fanaroff--Riley break of radio galaxies on luminosity and redshift

description: We investigate the dependence of the Fanaroff-Riley (FR) 1/2 dichotomy of radio galaxies on their luminosities and redshifts. Because of a very strong redshift-luminosity correlation (Malmquist bias) in a flux-limited sample, any redshift-dependent effect could appear as a luminosity related effect and vice versa. A question could then arise - do all the morphological differences seen in the two classes (FR 1 and 2 types) of sources, usually attributed to the differences in their luminosities, could as well be primarily a redshift-dependent effect? A sharp break in luminosity, seen among the two classes, could after all reflect a sharp redshift-dependence due to a rather critical ambient density value at some cosmic epoch. A doubt on these lines does not seem to have been raised in past and things have never been examined with this particular aspect in mind. We want to ascertain the customary prevalent view in the literature that the systematic differences in the two broad morphology types of FR 1 and 2 radio galaxies are indeed due to the differences in their luminosities, and not due to a change in redshift. Here we investigate the dependence of FR 1/2 dichotomy of radio galaxies on luminosity and redshift by using the 3CR sample, where the FR 1/2 dichotomy was first seen, supplemented by data from an additional sample (MRC), that goes about a factor of 5 or more deeper in flux-density than the original 3CR sample. This lets us compare sources with similar luminosities but at different redshifts as well as examine sources at similar redshifts but with different luminosities, thereby allowing us a successful separation of the otherwise two intricately entangled effects. We find that the morphology type is not directly related to redshift and the break between the two types of morphologies seems to depend only upon the radio luminosity.

description: Die Transformation der öffentlichen Verantwortung im Bereich der sozialen Wohlfahrt führte in den letzten Jahren zu einem gestiegenen Forschungsinteresse an Mitarbeiten-den, die sich an der Schnittstelle zwischen öffentlicher Verwaltung und direktem Kontakt zu Klient*innen befinden. Die vorliegende Arbeit geht am Beispiel der Schulsozialarbeit an Potsdamer Grundschulen der Frage nach, inwieweit Vertrauen in Klient*innen die Nutzung von Ermessensspielräumen durch Schulsozialarbeiter*innen beeinflusst. Das Street-Level Bureaucracy Framework nach Michael Lipsky spannt dabei den theoretischen Rahmen, während qualitative Interviews mit Schulsozialarbei-ter*innen die Basis für die Beantwortung der Forschungsfrage darstellen. Die Ergebnis-se zeigen, dass ein geringeres Maß an Vertrauen in Klient*innen dafür sorgt, dass Schulsozialarbeiter*innen durch Bewältigungsstrategien wie der Rationierung von Res-sourcen und dem gedanklichen Rückzug von Klient*innen versuchen, ihre Arbeitslast zu verringern. Ein höheres Maß an Vertrauen in Klient*innen sorgt hingegen dafür, dass sie ihre Ermessensspielräume zu Gunsten dieser Klient*innen nutzen, zum Beispiel durch das Umgehen von Datenschutzregeln zur effektiveren Fallbearbeitung.
description: In recent years, the transformation of public accountability in the field of social welfare has led to an increased research interest in employees who, as decision-makers about the allocation of services, find themselves at the interface between public administration and direct contact with clients. Using the example of school social work at Potsdam's elementary schools, this paper examines the extent to which trust in clients influences the use of discretionary powers by school social workers. The street-level bureaucracy framework according to Michael Lipsky provides the theoretical framework, while qualita-tive interviews with school social workers form the basis for answering the research question. The results show that a lower level of trust in clients ensures that school social workers attempt to reduce their workload through coping strategies such as rationing resources and mentally withdrawing from clients. A higher level of trust in clients, on the other hand, ensures that they use their discretionary powers in favor of these clients, for example by circumventing data protection rules for a more effective case processing.

PASSIVE ACOUSTIC TRACKING OF WHALES IN 3-D
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2023

description: Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is a nonintrusive approach to studying behaviors of vocalizing marine organisms underwater that otherwise would remain unexplored. In this paper, we propose a data processing chain that can detect and track multiple whales in 3-D from passively recorded underwater acoustic signals. In particular, time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) measurements of echolocation clicks are extracted from a volumetric hydrophone array's acoustic data by using a noise-whitening cross-correlation. For multi-target tracking, the TDOA measurements are then processed by a Bayesian inference engine consisting of two stages that is based on the sum-product algorithm (SPA). Particle flow is embedded in the SPA to make tracking computationally feasible in the considered nonlinear and high-dimensional scenario. The capability to track multiple whales without human intervention is demonstrated in scenarios with simulated and real data.

description: We introduce a new model of gamma ray burst (GRB) that explains its observed prompt signals, namely, its primary quasi-thermal spectrum and high energy tail. This mechanism can be applied to either assumption of GRB progenitor: coalescence of compact objects or hypernova explosion. The key ingredients of our model are: (1) The initial stage of a GRB is in the form of a relativistic quark-gluon plasma "lava"; (2) The expansion and cooling of this lava results in a QCD phase transition that induces a sudden gravitational stoppage of the condensed non-relativistic baryons and form a hadrosphere; (3) Acoustic shocks and Alfven waves (magnetoquakes) that erupt in episodes from the epicenter efficiently transport the thermal energy to the hadrospheric surface and induce a rapid detachment of leptons and photons from the hadrons; (4) The detached $e^+e^-$ and $γ$ form an opaque, relativistically hot leptosphere, which expands and cools to $T \sim mc^2$, or 0.5 MeV, where $e^+e^- \to 2γ$ and its reverse process becomes unbalanced, and the GRB photons are finally released; (5) The "mode-conversion" of Alfven waves into electromagnetic waves in the leptosphere provides a "snowplow" acceleration and deceleration that gives rise to both the high energy spectrum of GRB and the erosion of its thermal spectrum down to a quasi-thermal distribution. According to this model, the observed GRB photons should have a redshifted peak frequency at $E_p \sim Γ(1 + β/2)mc^2/(1 + z),$ where $Γ\sim {\cal{O}}(1)$ is the Lorentz factor of the bulk flow of the lava, which may be determined from the existing GRB data.

description: Generative deep neural networks are widely used for speech synthesis, but most existing models directly generate waveforms or spectral outputs. Humans, however, produce speech by controlling articulators, which results in the production of speech sounds through physical properties of sound propagation. We introduce the Articulatory Generator to the Generative Adversarial Network paradigm, a new unsupervised generative model of speech production/synthesis. The Articulatory Generator more closely mimics human speech production by learning to generate articulatory representations (electromagnetic articulography or EMA) in a fully unsupervised manner. A separate pre-trained physical model (ema2wav) then transforms the generated EMA representations to speech waveforms, which get sent to the Discriminator for evaluation. Articulatory analysis suggests that the network learns to control articulators in a similar manner to humans during speech production. Acoustic analysis of the outputs suggests that the network learns to generate words that are both present and absent in the training distribution. We additionally discuss implications of articulatory representations for cognitive models of human language and speech technology in general.
Multi-dimensional Signal Recovery Using Low-rank Deconvolution
Creators: David Reixach
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2023

description: In this work we present Low-rank Deconvolution, a powerful framework for low-level feature-map learning for efficient signal representation with application to signal recovery. Its formulation in multi-linear algebra inherits properties from convolutional sparse coding and low-rank approximation methods as in this setting signals are decomposed in a set of filters convolved with a set of low-rank tensors. We show its advantages by learning compressed video representations and solving image in-painting problems.

description: Audio-visual learning helps to comprehensively understand the world by fusing practical information from multiple modalities. However, recent studies show that the imbalanced optimization of uni-modal encoders in a joint-learning model is a bottleneck to enhancing the model`s performance. We further find that the up-to-date imbalance-mitigating methods fail on some audio-visual fine-grained tasks, which have a higher demand for distinguishable feature distribution.

Fueled by the success of cosine loss that builds hyperspherical feature spaces and achieves lower intra-class angular variability, this paper proposes Multi-Modal Cosine loss, MMCosine. It performs a modality-wise L2 normalization to features and weights towards balanced and better multi-modal fine-grained learning. We demonstrate that our method can alleviate the imbalanced optimization from the perspective of weight norm and fully exploit the discriminability of the cosine metric.

Extensive experiments prove the effectiveness of our method and the versatility with advanced multi-modal fusion strategies and up-to-date imbalance-mitigating methods.

description:  This work proposes a model for continual learning on tasks involving temporal sequences, specifically, human motions. It improves on a recently proposed brain-inspired replay model (BI-R) by building a biologically-inspired conditional temporal variational autoencoder (BI-CTVAE), which instantiates a latent mixture-of-Gaussians for class representation. We investigate a novel continual-learning-to-generate (CL2Gen) scenario where the model generates motion sequences of different classes. The generative accuracy of the model is tested over a set of tasks. The final classification accuracy of BI-CTVAE on a human motion dataset after sequentially learning all action classes is 78%, which is 63% higher than using no-replay, and only 5.4% lower than a state-of-the-art offline trained GRU model.

Real-time perceptually motivated neural network for echo control and noise reduction
Creators: Robert James
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2023

description: Echo and background noise are the major obstacles in today’s user sound experience for devices like a speakerphone or video bar. We propose real-time perceptually motivated neural network-based echo control and noise reduction. The demonstrated method relies on a linear acoustic echo canceller (LAEC) combined with a neural network as a post-filter which incorporates perceptual mapping in both feature representation and loss function. The proposed method relies on mic and far-end signals for the LAEC stage, while the LAEC output, mic and echo estimate are inputs to the post-filter. The proposed hybrid approach links between signal processing, psychoacoustics, and neural network so it fits best to the theme of this year ICASSP (Signal Processing in the AI Era). 

To provide an interactive demo and a transparent peer-to-peer connection, we use Jitsi WebRTC allowing the participants to experience the echo-annoyance of their own voice and the possibility to evaluate the offered benefits during an online conversation. We demonstrate the single-talk near-end, single-talk far-end and double-talk condition. As challenging scenarios, we will also include echo path change, movements in the room, touching the device, all known as challenging scenarios for echo control. In our setup, we use a speakerphone at one side and headset at the other. We demonstrate our real-time live demo using a Jabra Speak device where we have access to the raw mic and loudspeaker signals while processing our method in C code on the edge.

The footprint, real-time factor, and memory of the method allow presentation in real-time on a standard CPU without any look-ahead. It achieves an on-par performance compared to SOTA neural AEC solutions offering an attractive trade-off between echo leak, double talk and near end speech quality. It is also capable of handling background noise and transient noise. The proposed demo allows listening to three modes: no processing, LAEC, LAEC + residual echo suppressor.

description: We define a notion of renormalized volume of an asymptotically hyperbolic manifold. Moreover, we prove a sharp volume comparison theorem for metrics with scalar curvature at least -6.

IMAGE SEGMENTATION FOR IMPROVED LOSSLESS SCREEN CONTENT COMPRESSION

Year: 2023

description: In recent years, it has been found that screen content images (SCI) can be effectively compressed based on appropriate probability modelling and suitable entropy coding methods such as arithmetic coding. The key objective is determining the best probability distribution for each pixel position. This strategy works particularly well for images with synthetic (textual) content. However, usually screen content images not only consist of synthetic but also pictorial (natural) regions. These images require diverse models of probability distributions to be optimally compressed. One way to achieve this goal is to separate synthetic and natural regions. This paper proposes a segmentation method that identifies natural regions enabling better adaptive treatment. It supplements a compression method known as Soft Context Formation (SCF) and operates as a pre-processing step. If at least one natural segment is found within the SCI, it is split into two subimages (natural and synthetic parts) and the process of modelling and coding is performed separately for both. For SCIs with natural regions, the proposed method achieves a bit-rate
reduction of up to 11.6% and 1.52% with respect to HEVC and the previous version of the SCF.
Deep Fusion of Multi-Object Densities Using Transformer

description: The fusion of multiple probability densities has important applications in many fields, including, for example, multi-sensor signal pro- cessing, robotics, and smart environments. In this paper, we demonstrate that deep learning-based methods can be used to fuse multi-object densities. Given a scenario with several sensors with possibly different field-of-views, tracking is performed locally in each sensor by a tracker, which produces random finite set multi-object densities. To fuse outputs from different trackers, we adapt a recently proposed transformer-based multi-object tracker, where the fusion result is a global multi-object density, describing the set of all alive objects at the current time. We compare the performance of the transformer-based fusion method with a well-performing model-based Bayesian fusion method in several simulated scenarios with different parameter settings using synthetic data. The simulation results show that the transformer-based fusion method outperforms the model-based Bayesian method in our experimental scenarios. The code is available at https://github.com/Lechili/DeepFusion.

description: The role of large-scale stellar feedback in the formation of molecular clouds has been investigated observationally by examining the relationship between HI and 12CO(J=1-0) in supershells. Detailed parsec-resolution case studies of two Milky Way supershells demonstrate an enhanced level of molecularisation over both objects, and hence provide the first quantitative observational evidence of increased molecular cloud production in volumes of space affected by supershell activity. Recent results on supergiant shells in the LMC suggest that while they do indeed help to organise the ISM into over-dense structures, their global contribution to molecular cloud formation is of the order of only ~10%.

Jazznet: A Dataset of Fundamental Piano Patterns for Music Audio Machine Learning Research
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2023

description: The paper introduces the jazznet Dataset, a dataset of fundamental jazz piano music patterns for developing machine learning (ML) algorithms in music information retrieval (MIR). The dataset contains 162520 labeled piano patterns, including chords, arpeggios, scales, and chord progressions with their inversions, resulting in more than 26k hours of audio and a total size of 95GB. The paper explains the dataset's composition, creation, and generation, and presents an open-source Pattern Generator using a method called Distance-Based Pattern Structures (DBPS), which allows researchers to easily generate new piano patterns simply by defining the distances between pitches within the musical patterns. We demonstrate that the dataset can help researchers benchmark new models for challenging MIR tasks, using a convolutional recurrent neural network (CRNN) and a deep convolutional neural network. The dataset and code are available via: https://github.com/tosiron/jazznet.
The Secret Source : Incorporating Source Features to Improve Acoustic-To-Articulatory Speech Inversion

Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2023

description: In this work, we incorporated acoustically derived source features, aperiodicity, periodicity and pitch as additional targets to an acoustic-to-articulatory speech inversion (SI) system. We also propose a Temporal Convolution based SI system, which uses auditory spectrograms as the input speech representation, to learn long-range dependencies and complex interactions between the source and vocal tract, to improve the SI task. The experiments are conducted with both the Wisconsin X-ray microbeam (XRMB) and Haskins Production Rate Comparison (HPRC) datasets, with comparisons done with respect to three baseline SI model architectures. The proposed SI system with the HPRC dataset gains an improvement of close to 28% when the source features are used as additional targets. The same SI system outperforms the current best performing SI models by around 9% on the XRMB dataset.
