description: One of the fundamental challenges in the design of perception systems for autonomous vehicles is validating the performance of each algorithm under a comprehensive variety of operating conditions. In the case of vision-based semantic segmentation, there are known issues when encountering new scenarios that are sufficiently different to the training data. In addition, even small variations in environmental conditions such as illumination and precipitation can affect the classification performance of the segmentation model. Given the reliance on visual information, these effects often translate into poor semantic pixel classification which can potentially lead to catastrophic consequences when driving autonomously. This paper presents a novel method for analysing the robustness of semantic segmentation models and provides a number of metrics to evaluate the classification performance over a variety of environmental conditions. The process incorporates an additional sensor (lidar) to automate the process, eliminating the need for labour-intensive hand labelling of validation data. The system integrity can be monitored as the performance of the vision sensors are validated against a different sensor modality. This is necessary for detecting failures that are inherent to vision technology. Experimental results are presented based on multiple datasets collected at different times of the year with different environmental conditions. These results show that the semantic segmentation performance varies depending on the weather, camera parameters, existence of shadows, etc.. The results also demonstrate how the metrics can be used to compare and validate the performance after making improvements to a model, and compare the performance of different networks.
Lattice instanton action from 3D SU(2) Georgi-Glashow model

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)

description: 3D Georgi-Glashow model is studied on the lattice in the London limit in an infrared but an intermediate region before the screening appears. Abelian and instanton dominances are observed after abelian projections in a unitary gauge and roughly in the maximally abelian gauge. Using an inverse Monte-Carlo method, we determine an effective instanton action in both gauges. When we restrict ourselves to some regions of parameters $β$ and $κ$, we obtain an almost perfect instanton action, performing a block-spin transformation on the dual lattice. It takes a form of a Coulomb gas and reproduces fairly well the string tension obtained analytically by Polyakov. The almost perfect actions in both gauges look the same in the infrared region, which suggests gauge independence.

description: Plants and insects are the two dominant groups in terrestrial ecosystems, and insect damage on fossil plants is the only direct evidence documenting the past ecological history between these two, hyperdiverse groups. We describe, analyze, and interpret plant–insect interactions of a lower Cenomanian paleoforest from western France – the Puy-Puy Quarry of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region. We examined 1605 fossil leaves, axes, and reproductive material of bennettitalean, pinalean, and ginkgoalean gymnosperms; lauralean and magnolialean angiosperms; and pteridophyte fronds. We identified functional feeding groups (FFGs) and insect damage types (DTs) preserved on this foliage and data were rarified to indicate sample completeness. By employing R, various statistical parameters were calculated. We established 71 DTs for the nine FFGs of hole feeding, margin feeding, skeletonization, surface feeding, oviposition, piercing and sucking, galling, mining, and pathogens, and 1292 feeding event occurrences. Of the specimens examined 22.2% exhibited one or more DT, with angiosperms the most affected plant group. The most diverse interactions were mining and galling, indicating a mosaic of humid and xeric habitats, respectively, for the Puy-Puy paleoforest, a conclusion consistent with previous paleontological and sedimentological interpretations. Elevated DT richness suggests long-standing ecological relationships between the plants and insects, representative of a mature forest.
Finite convergence of sum-of-squares hierarchies for the stability number of a graph

description: We investigate a hierarchy of semidefinite bounds $\vartheta^{(r)}(G)$ for the stability number $α(G)$ of a graph $G$, based on its copositive programming formulation and introduced by de Klerk and Pasechnik [{\em SIAM J. Optim.} 12 (2002), pp.875--892], who conjectured convergence to $α(G)$ in $r=α(G)-1$ steps. Even the weaker conjecture claiming finite convergence is still open. We establish links between this hierarchy and sum-of-squares hierarchies based on the Motzkin-Straus formulation of $α(G)$, which we use to show finite convergence when $G$ is acritical, i.e., when $α(G\setminus e)=α(G)$ for all edges $e$ of $G$. This relies, in particular, on understanding the structure of the minimizers of the Motzkin-Straus formulation and showing that their number is finite precisely when $G$ is acritical. Moreover we show that these results hold in the general setting of the weighted stable set problem for graphs equipped with positive node weights. In addition, as a byproduct we show that deciding whether a standard quadratic program has finitely many minimizers does not admit a polynomial-time algorithm unless P=NP.

Interval constraint programming for globally solving catalog-based categorical optimization

description: In this article, we propose an interval constraint programming method for globally solving catalog-based categorical optimization problems. It supports catalogs of arbitrary size and properties of arbitrary dimension, and does not require any modeling effort from the user. A novel catalog-based contractor (or filtering operator) guarantees consistency between the categorical properties and the existing catalog items. This results in an intuitive and generic approach that is exact, rigorous (robust to roundoff errors) and can be easily implemented in an off-the-shelf interval-based continuous solver that interleaves branching and constraint propagation. We demonstrate the validity of the approach on a numerical problem in which a categorical variable is described by a two-dimensional property space.

description: Large-scale annotation of image segmentation datasets is often prohibitively expensive, as it usually requires a huge number of worker hours to obtain high-quality results. Abundant and reliable data has been, however, crucial for the advances on image understanding tasks achieved by deep learning models. In this paper, we introduce FreeLabel, an intuitive open-source web interface that allows users to obtain high-quality segmentation masks with just a few freehand scribbles, in a matter of seconds. The efficacy of FreeLabel is quantitatively demonstrated by experimental results on the PASCAL dataset as well as on a dataset from the agricultural domain. Designed to benefit the computer vision community, FreeLabel can be used for both crowdsourced or private annotation and has a modular structure that can be easily adapted for any image dataset.

description: Building on the recent computation of the cohomology rings of smooth toric varieties and partial quotients of moment-angle complexes, we investigate the naturality properties of the resulting isomorphism between the cohomology of such a space and the torsion product involving the Stanley-Reisner ring. If 2 is invertible in the chosen coefficient ring, then the isomorphism is natural with respect to toric morphisms, which for partial quotients are defined in analogy with toric varieties. In general there are deformation terms that we describe explicitly.

description: A new energy functional for pure traction problems in elasticity has been deduced in [23] as the variational limit of nonlinear elastic energy functional for a material body subject to an equilibrated force field: a sort of Gamma limit with respect to the weak convergence of strains when a suitable small parameter tends to zero. This functional exhibits a gap that makes it different from the classical linear elasticity functional. Nevertheless a suitable compatibility condition on the force field ensures coincidence of related minima and minimizers. Here we show some relevant properties of the new functional and prove stronger convergence of minimizing sequences for suitable choices of nonlinear elastic energies.

2+1-dimensional gravity coupled to a dust shell: quantization in terms of global phase space variables

description: We perform canonical analysis of a model in which gravity is coupled to a spherically symmetric dust shell in 2+1 spacetime dimensions. The result is a reduced action depending on a finite number of degrees of freedom. The emphasis is made on finding canonical variables providing the global chart for the entire phase space of the model. It turns out that all the distinct pieces of momentum space could be assembled into a single manifold which has ADS^{2}-geometry, and the global chart for it is provided by the Euler angles. This results in both non-commutativity and discreteness in coordinate space, which allows to resolve the central singularity. We also find the map between ADS^{2} momentum space obtained here and momentum space in Kuchar variables, which could be helpful in extending the present results to 3+1 dimensions.

description: Andrographolide is a main bioactive diterpene lactone in A. paniculata with anti-inflammatory activity. In this study, a series of andrographolide derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their structure-anti-inflammatory activity relationships in vivo. Among all compounds, isoandrographolide and 14-deoxyandrographolide showed stronger anti-inflammatory activity than andrographolide. The results indicated that the introduction of tetrahydrofuran ring and cyclic olefinic bond plays an important role in enhancing the anti-inflammatory activity of andrographolide derivatives. Isoandrographolide and 14-deoxyandrographolide are potent inhibitor of inflammation.

description: The antiferromagnetic insulating cuprate Ba$_3$Cu$_2$O$_4$Cl$_2$ contains folded CuO$_2$ chains with four magnetic copper ions ($S=1/2$) per unit cell. An underlying multiorbital Hubbard model is formulated and the superexchange theory is developed to derive an effective spin Hamiltonian for this cuprate. The resulting spin Hamiltonian involves a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya term and a more weak symmetric anisotropic exchange term besides the isotropic exchange interaction. The corresponding Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya vectors of each magnetic Cu-Cu bond in the chain reveal a well defined spatial order. Both, the superexchange theory and the complementary group theoretical consideration, lead to the same conclusion on the character of this order. The analysis of the ground-state magnetic properties of the derived model leads to the prediction of an additional noncollinear modulation of the antiferromagnetic structure. This weak antiferromagnetism is restricted to one of the Cu sublattices.

This method involves a new type of weak coupling expansion which is multiplicative rather than additive in nature and allows perturbative calculation of partition function zeroes. Application of the method to the single flavour Gross-Neveu model gives a phase diagram consistent with the parity symmetry breaking scenario of Aoki and provides new quantitative information on the width of the Aoki phase in the weakly coupled sector.

We also characterize quantitatively some aspects of the out of equilibrium phase transition.

description: We theoretically study the geometric effect of quantum dynamical evolution in the presence of a nonequilibrium noisy environment. We derive the expression of the time dependent geometric phase in terms of the dynamical evolution and the overlap between the time evolved state and initial state. It is shown that the frequency shift induced by the environmental nonequilibrium feature plays a crucial role in the geometric phase and evolution path of the quantum dynamics. The nonequilibrium feature of the environment makes the length of evolution path becomes longer and reduces the dynamical decoherence and non-Markovian behavior in the quantum dynamics.

Both, thermal and dynamical properties are considered. The influence of interactions on defect motion is described via a collective effect. Our treatment is semiclassical in the sense that we analyze collective effects in a classical setting, and analyze the influence on quantized defect motion only thereafter. Our theory describes a crossover to glassy behavior at sufficiently high defect concentration. Our approach is meant to be general. For the sake of definiteness, we evaluate most of our results with parameters appropriate for Li-doped KCl crystals.

description: We consider the Hamiltonians of mean-field spin glasses, which are certain random functions $H_N$ defined on high-dimensional cubes or spheres in $\mathbb R^N$. The asymptotic maximum values of these functions were famously obtained by Talagrand and later by Panchenko and by Chen. The landscape of approximate maxima of $H_N$ is described by various forms of replica symmetry breaking exhibiting a broad range of possible behaviors. We study the problem of efficiently computing an approximate maximizer of $H_N$.
 We give a two-phase message pasing algorithm to approximately maximize $H_N$ when a no overlap-gap condition holds. This generalizes several recent works by allowing a non-trivial external field. For even Ising spin glasses with constant external field, our algorithm succeeds exactly when existing methods fail to rule out approximate maximization for a wide class of algorithms. Moreover we give a branching variant of our algorithm which constructs a full ultrametric tree of approximate maxima.

DASVDD: Deep Autoencoding Support Vector Data Descriptor for Anomaly Detection

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)

description: Semi-supervised anomaly detection aims to detect anomalies from normal samples using a model that is trained on normal data. With recent advancements in deep learning, researchers have designed efficient deep anomaly detection methods. Existing works commonly use neural networks to map the data into a more informative representation and then apply an anomaly detection algorithm. In this paper, we propose a method, DASVDD, that jointly learns the parameters of an autoencoder while minimizing the volume of an enclosing hyper-sphere on its latent representation. We propose an anomaly score which is a combination of autoencoder's reconstruction error and the distance from the center of the enclosing hypersphere in the latent representation. Minimizing this anomaly score aids us in learning the underlying distribution of the normal class during training. Including the reconstruction error in the anomaly score ensures that DASVDD does not suffer from the common hypersphere collapse issue since the DASVDD model does not converge to the trivial solution of mapping all inputs to a constant point in the latent representation. Experimental evaluations on several benchmark datasets show that the proposed method outperforms the commonly used state-of-the-art anomaly detection algorithms while maintaining robust performance across different anomaly classes.

description: Rapid accumulation of viral proteins in host cells render viruses highly dependent on cellular chaperones including heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90). Three highly pathogenic human coronaviruses, including MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, have emerged in the past 2 decades. However, there is no approved antiviral agent against these coronaviruses. We inspected the role of Hsp90 for coronavirus propagation. First, an Hsp90 inhibitor, 17-AAG, significantly suppressed MERS-CoV propagation in cell lines and physiological-relevant human intestinal organoids. Second, siRNA depletion of Hsp90β, but not Hsp90α, significantly restricted MERS-CoV replication and abolished virus spread. Third, Hsp90β interaction with MERS-CoV nucleoprotein (NP) was revealed in a co-immunoprecipitation assay. Hsp90β is required to maintain NP stability. Fourth, 17-AAG substantially inhibited the propagation of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. Collectively, Hsp90 is a host dependency factor for human coronavirus MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV and SARS-COV-2. Hsp90 inhibitors can be repurposed as a potent and broad-spectrum antiviral against human coronaviruses.

description: We designed and demonstrated experimentally a silicon photonics integrated dynamic polarization controller which is a crucial component of a continuous-variable quantum key distribution system. By using a variable step simulated annealing approach, we achieve a dynamic polarization extinction ratio greater than 25 dB. The dynamic polarization controller can be utilized in silicon photonics integrated continuous-variable quantum key distribution system to minimize the size and decrease the cost further.

description: We analytically study the quantum phase diagrams of ultracold dipolar Bose gases in an optical square lattice at zero temperature by using the generalized effective-potential Landau theory (GEPLT). For a weak nearest-neighbor repulsion, our analytical results are better than the third-order strong-coupling expansion theory calculation [M. Iskin et al., \textcolor[rgb]{0.00,0.00,1.00}{ Phys. Rev. A \textbf{79}, 053634 (2009)}]. In contrast to a previous quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulation [T. Ohgoe et al., \textcolor[rgb]{0.00,0.00,1.00}{Phys. Rev. B \textbf{86}, 054520 (2012)}], we analytically calculate phase transition boundaries up to the third-order hopping, which are in excellent agreement with QMC simulations for second-order phase transition.

description: We derive the semiclassical series for the partition function of a one-dimensional quantum-mechanical system consisting of a particle in a single-well potential. We do this by applying the method of steepest descent to the path-integral representation of the partition function, and we present a systematic procedure to generate the terms of the series using the minima of the Euclidean action as the only input. For the particular case of a quartic anharmonic oscillator, we compute the first two terms of the series, and investigate their high and low temperature limits. We also exhibit the nonperturbative character of the terms, as each corresponds to sums over infinite subsets of perturbative graphs. We illustrate the power of such resummations by extracting from the first term an accurate nonperturbative estimate of the ground-state energy of the system and a curve for the specific heat. We conclude by pointing out possible extensions of our results which include field theories with spherically symmetric classical solutions.

Microplasticity and yielding in crystals with heterogeneous dislocation distribution

description: In this study, we use discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) simulation to investigate the effect of heterogeneous dislocation density on the transition between quasi-elastic deformation and plastic flow in face-centered cubic single crystals. By analyzing the stress-strain curves of samples with an initial, axial dislocation density gradient, we arrive at the following conclusions: (i) in the regime of quasi-elastic deformation before the onset of plastic flow, the effective elastic modulus of the simulated samples falls significantly below the value for a dislocation-free crystal. This modulus reduction increases with decreasing dislocation density gradient: crystals with homogeneous dislocation distribution are thus weakest in the quasi-elastic regime; (ii) the transition towards plastic flow occurs first in regions of reduced dislocation density. Therefore, the overall yield stress decreases with increasing dislocation density gradient; (iii) crystals with dislocation density gradient exhibit a more pronounced hardening stage during which stress is re-distributed onto stronger regions with higher dislocation density until the sample flows at a constant flow stress that is approximately independent on dislocation density gradient. We interpret these findings in terms of a continuum dislocation dynamics inspired model of dislocation density evolution that accounts for inversive dislocation motions. The transition between quasi-elastic and plastic deformation is interpreted as a transition from inversive to non-inversive dislocation motion, and the initial differences in elastic modulus are related to a density dependent polarizability of the dislocation system. The subsequent plastic flow behavior is analyzed in terms of a modified version of Mughrabi's composite model.

Conversion Measure of Faraday Rotation-Conversion with application to Fast Radio Bursts

description: Faraday Rotation-Conversion is the simultaneous rotation of all three Stokes polarization parameters $Q$, $U$, $V$ as an electromagnetic wave propagates through a magnetized plasma. In this regime the Faraday plasma screen is characterized by more than just a Rotation Measure. We define the Conversion Measure that characterizes the wavelength-dependent conversion between the linear and circular polarization. In a cold plasma, the conversion occurs at the localized regions along the wave's path, where the large-scale magnetic field is perpendicular to the propagation direction. The number of these regions along the line of sight through the screen, and their individual contributions to the conversion measure, can be inferred from the polarization measurements. We argue that the simultaneous measurement of wavelength-dependent linear and circular polarization might give an important insight into the magnetic-field geometry of the Faraday screen in FRB121102 and other repeating Fast Radio Bursts.
