description: We present a study of the 1+1 flavor system of strongly interacting matter in terms of the Polyakov$-$Nambu$-$Jona-Lasinio model. We find that though the small isospin symmetry breaking brought in through unequal light quark masses is too small to affect the thermodynamics of the system in general, it may have significant effect in baryon-isospin correlations and have a measurable impact in heavy-ion collision experiments.

description: The electroweak mixing angle is a fundamental parameter of the theory of electroweak interactions. Its value has been measured precisely at the $\mathrm{Z}$-pole at colliders. In this contribution, we propose to exploit measurements of Neutral-Current Drell-Yan production at the Large Hadron Collider at large invariant dilepton masses to determine the energy scale dependence (running) of the electroweak mixing angle in the $\overline{\text{MS}}$ renormalisation scheme, $\sin^2\theta_{W,\ell}^{\overline{\text{MS}}}(\mu)$. Such a measurement can be used to confirm the Standard Model predictions for the $\overline{\text{MS}}$ running at $\text{TeV}$ scales, and to set model-independent constraints on new states with electroweak quantum numbers. To this end, we make use of a dedicated implementation of $\sin^2\theta_{W,\ell}^{\overline{\text{MS}}}(\mu)$ in the POWHEG-BOX-V2 Monte Carlo event generator, which we use to explore the potential of future analyses using the data of the LHC Run 3 and High-Luminosity.

Efficient Multi-way Theta-Join Processing Using MapReduce

description: Multi-way Theta-join queries are powerful in describing complex relations and therefore widely employed in real practices. However, existing solutions from traditional distributed and parallel databases for multi-way Theta-join queries cannot be easily extended to fit a shared-nothing distributed computing paradigm, which is proven to be able to support OLAP applications over immense data volumes. In this work, we study the problem of efficient processing of multi-way Theta-join queries using MapReduce from a cost-effective perspective. Although there have been some works using the (key,value) pair-based programming model to support join operations, efficient processing of multi-way Theta-join queries has never been fully explored. The substantial challenge lies in, given a number of processing units (that can run Map or Reduce tasks), mapping a multi-way Theta-join query to a number of MapReduce jobs and having them executed in a well scheduled sequence, such that the total processing time span is minimized. Our solution mainly includes two parts: 1) cost metrics for both single MapReduce job and a number of MapReduce jobs executed in a certain order; 2) the efficient execution of a chain-typed Theta-join with only one MapReduce job. Comparing with the query evaluation strategy proposed in [23] and the widely adopted Pig Latin and Hive SQL solutions, our method achieves significant improvement of the join processing efficiency.

Optical Conductivity of Twisted Bilayer Graphene

description: We calculate the finite-frequency conductivity of bilayer graphene with a relative twist between the layers. The low frequency response at zero doping shows a flat conductivity with value twice that of the monolayer case and at higher frequency a strong absorption peak occurs. For finite doping, the low frequency flat absorption is modified into a peak about zero frequency (the Drude response) accompanied by an interband edge which results from the transfer of spectral weight from interband to intraband absorption due to Pauli blocking. If the system is doped sufficiently such that the chemical potential reaches beyond the low-energy saddle point in the twisted bilayer band structure, a strong low frequency absorption peak appears at an energy related to an effective interlayer hopping energy, which may be used to identify this parameter and confirm the existence of the saddle point which gives rise to a low energy van Hove singularity in the electronic density of states.

Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2023

description: This paper presents a dataset of spatial room impulse responses (SRIRs) and 360° stereoscopic video captures of a variable acoustics laboratory. A total of 34 source positions are measured with 8 different acoustic panel configurations, resulting in a total of 272 SRIRs. The source positions are arranged in 30° increments at concentric circles of radius 1.5, 2, and 3 m measured with a directional studio monitor, as well as 4 extra positions at the room corners measured with an omnidirectional source. The receiver is a 7 channel open microphone array optimized for its use with the Spatial Decomposition Method (SDM). The 8 acoustic configurations are achieved by setting a subset of the panels to their absorptive configuration in 5 steps (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% of the panels), as well as 3 configurations in which entire walls are set to their absorptive configuration (right, right/back, right/back/left). Video captures of the laboratory and a second room are obtained using a 360° stereoscopic camera with a resolution of 4096 × 2160 pixels, covering the same source/receiver combinations. Furthermore, we present an acoustic analysis of both time-energy and spatio-temporal parameters showcasing the differences in the measured configurations. The dataset, together with spatial analysis and rendering scripts, is publicly released in a GitHub repository (https://github.com/facebookresearch/R3VIVAL)

description: In-car child presence detection (CPD) has gained worldwide attention due to increased child deaths reported yearly when they are left unattended in a car. Existing solutions usually require dedicated sensors and are being surpassed by WiFi-based CPD because the latter can provide broader coverage and can reuse the in-car WiFi devices. However, the existing WiFi-based CPD solutions are not robust and may suffer from miss detection due to the very weak breathing of a young child and high false alarms under unfavorable environmental conditions. In this paper, we propose a WiFi-based robust CPD system consisting of a motion and breathing detector. To improve breathing detection, we propose to treat the intermediate spectrogram for breathing estimation as images and apply image enhancement techniques followed by effective false alarm removal. Extensive experimental results have confirmed the robustness of the proposed system with a 99% detection accuracy and 3% false alarm rate.

description: Fast data generation based on Machine Learning has become a major research topic in particle physics. This is mainly because the Monte Carlo simulation approach is computationally challenging for future colliders, which will have a significantly higher luminosity. The generation of collider data is similar to point cloud generation with complex correlations between the points. In this study, the generation of jets with up to 30 constituents with Normalising Flows using Rational Quadratic Spline coupling layers is investigated. Without conditioning on the jet mass, our Normalising Flows are unable to model all correlations in data correctly, which is evident when comparing the invariant jet mass distributions between ground truth and generated data. Using the invariant mass as a condition for the coupling transformation enhances the performance on all tracked metrics. In addition, we demonstrate how to sample the original mass distribution by interpolating the empirical cumulative distribution function. Similarly, the variable number of constituents is taken care of by introducing an additional condition on the number of constituents in the jet. Furthermore, we study the usefulness of including an additional mass constraint in the loss term. On the \texttt{JetNet} dataset, our model shows state-of-the-art performance combined with fast and stable training.
Sedimentation stability and aging of aqueous dispersions of Laponite in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide

description: This work discusses the sedimentation stability and aging of aqueous suspension of Laponite in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The concentration of Laponite was fixed at the constant level $C_l=2$ %wt, which corresponds to the threshold between equilibrium gel IG$_1$ and repulsive gel IG$_2$ phases. The concentration of CTAB $C_s$ was within 0-0.3 %wt. In the presence of CTAB the Laponite aqueous suspensions were unstable against sedimentation and they separated out into upper and bottom layers (U- and B-layers, respectively). The dynamic light scattering technique revealed that the addition of CTAB even at rather small concentration, $C_s=0.0164$ %wt ($0.03 CEC$), induced noticeable changes in the aging dynamics of U-layer, and it was explained by equilibration of CTAB molecules that were initially non-uniformly distributed between different Laponite particles. Accelerated stability analysis by means of analytical centrifugation with rotor speed $ω=500-4000$ rpm revealed three sedimentation regimes: continuous (I, $C_s<0.14$ %wt), zone-like (II, $0.140.2$ %wt). It was demonstrated that B-layer was "soft" in the zone-like regime. The increase of $ω$ resulted in its supplementary compressing and the collapse of "soft" sediment above certain critical centrifugal acceleration.

Cochlear Decomposition: A Novel Bio-inspired Multiscale Analysis Framework

Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2023

description: Signal multiscale decomposition (SMD) is an effective analysis for
the identification of modal information in time-domain signals. So
far, various SMD approaches, such as the Multiresolution Wavelet
Transform (MWT), the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD), and
the Variational Mode Decomosition (VMD) have been proposed,
However, issues, such as mode mixing for signals with closelyspaced
modes, have been identified. To confront such problems, we
propose here a novel spatial auditory decomposition framework for
non-stationary signals, namely the cochlear decomposition (CD).
CD is inspired by the biological rules of the spiral human cochlea
and it is built upon the concept of ‘place-pitch’ or the tonotopic organization
of the spiral cochlea. The new insight here is to formulate
a set of basis functions, namely cochlear wavelets, whose dilation
factors are determined by their angular position on the cochlear
spiral (i.e., coupled rotation and dilation). Under proper parameterization,
iterative application of spatial filters eventually results
in signal’s mono-components, each arising from specific angular
positions along the spiral cochlea, with high time and frequency
localization. The performance of the proposed CD is validated via
synthetic acoustic signals and real non-stationary speech signals
analysis. The analysis results show that CD outperforms the performance
of MWT, EMD, and VMD, exhibiting, at the same time,
high noise robustness. We also show that the CD disentangles lowfrequency
temporal modulations of sounds, supporting perceptual
phenomena in both speech and music. Clearly, CD paves the way
for higher-level speech perception deep learning models and also
for efficient cochlear implants design. Future work to incorporate
the nonlinearity of the cochlea into a binaural hearing framework is
underway.

The deepest yet images revealed the shape, structure, and motion of the 2-arcminute-long pulsar jet. We find that the jet's shape and dynamics are remarkably consistent with that of a steadily turning helix projected on the sky. We discuss possible implications of our results, including free precession of the neutron star and MHD instability scenarios.

description: We study quark flavour violation (QFV) in the squark sector of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). We assume mixing between the second and the third squark generations, i.e. sc_R-st_{L,R} mixing mixing. We focus on QFV effects in bosonic squark decays, in particular on the decay into the lightest Higgs boson h0, su_2 -> su_1 h0, where su_{1,2} are the lightest up-type squarks. We show that the branching ratio of this QFV decay can be quite large (up to 50 %) due to large QFV trilinear couplings, and large sc_R-st_{L, R} and st_L-st_R mixing, despite the strong constraints on QFV from B meson data. This can result in characteristic QFV final states with significant rates at LHC (14 TeV), such as pp -> gluino gluino X -> t + h0 + 3jets + Etmiss + X and pp -> gluino gluino X -> t t (or tbar tbar) + h0 + 2jets + Etmiss + X. The QFV bosonic squark decays can have an influence on the squark and gluino searches at LHC.

description: The problems of speech separation and enhancement concern the extraction of the speech emitted by a target speaker when placed in a scenario where multiple interfering speakers or noise are present, respectively. A plethora of practical applications such as home assistants and teleconferencing require some sort of speech separation and enhancement pre-processing before applying Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems. In the recent years, most techniques have focused on the application of deep learning to either time-frequency or time-domain representations of the input audio signals. In this paper we propose a real-time multichannel speech separation and enhancement technique, which is based on the combination of a directional representation of the sound field, denoted as beamspace, with a lightweight Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). We consider the case where the Direction-Of-Arrival (DOA) of the target speaker is approximately known, a scenario where the power of the beamspace-based representation can be fully exploited, while we make no assumption regarding the identity of the talker. We present experiments where the model is trained on simulated data and tested on real recordings and we compare the proposed method with a similar state-of-the-art technique.
Koide's Z_3-symmetric parametrization, quark masses and mixings

description: The sets of charged-lepton (L) and quark (D,U) masses may be parametrized in a Z_3-symmetric language appropriate for the discussion of Koide's formula. Experiment suggests that at the low-energy scale the relevant phase parameters δ_f take on possibly exact values of δ_L=3δ_D/2=3δ_U=2/9. For k_f (the other parameter relevant for the pattern of masses), a similarly simple expression (k_L=1) is known for charged leptons only. Using the Fritzsch-Xing decomposition of quark-mixing matrices, we show that the suggested pattern of low-energy quark masses is consistent with an earlier conjecture that k_{D,U} \approx 1 in the weak basis.

description: Cochlear implant devices are known to exist since a long time. The purpose of the present work is to develop a speech algorithm for obtaining robust speech. In this paper, the technique of cochlear implant is first introduced, followed by discussions of some of the existing techniques available for obtaining speech. The next section introduces a new technique for obtaining robust speech. The key feature of this technique lies in the use of the advantages of an integrated approach involving the use of an estimation technique such as a kalman filter with non linear filter bank strategy, using Dual Resonance Non Linear(DRNL) and Single Side Band(SSB) Encoding method. A comparative study of the proposed method with the existing method indicates that the proposed method performs well compared to the existing method.

In this manuscript we propose a Grad-CAM-inspired approach for the visual explanation of neural network architecture for regression problems. We apply this methodology to a recent physics-informed approach for Nearfield Acoustic Holography, called Kirchhoff-Helmholtz-based Convolutional Neural Network (KHCNN) architecture. We focus on the interpretation of KHCNN using vibrating rectangular plates with different boundary conditions and violin top plates with complex shapes. Results highlight the more informative regions of the input that the network exploits to correctly predict the desired output. The devised approach has been validated in terms of NCC and NMSE using the original input and the filtered one coming from the algorithm.

description: Models of neural responses to stimuli with complex spatiotemporal correlation structure often assume that neurons are only selective for a small number of linear projections of a potentially high-dimensional input. Here we explore recent modeling approaches where the neural response depends on the quadratic form of the input rather than on its linear projection, that is, the neuron is sensitive to the local covariance structure of the signal preceding the spike. To infer this quadratic dependence in the presence of arbitrary (e.g. naturalistic) stimulus distribution, we review several inference methods, focussing in particular on two information-theory-based approaches (maximization of stimulus energy or of noise entropy) and a likelihood-based approach (Bayesian spike-triggered covariance, extensions of generalized linear models). We analyze the formal connection between the likelihood-based and information-based approaches to show how they lead to consistent inference. We demonstrate the practical feasibility of these procedures by using model neurons responding to a flickering variance stimulus.

Towards Interpretable Seizure Detection Using Wearables
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2023

description: Seizure detection using machine learning is a critical problem for the timely intervention and management of epilepsy. We propose SeizFt, a robust seizure detection framework using EEG from a wearable device. It uses features paired with an ensemble of trees, thus enabling further interpretation of the model's results. The efficacy of the underlying augmentation and class-balancing strategy is also demonstrated. This study was performed for the Seizure Detection Challenge 2023, an ICASSP Grand Challenge.

description: We consider the role of matter in the non-projectable version of Horava-Liftshitz gravity at both a classical and a quantum level. At the classical level, we construct general forms of matter Lagrangians consistent with the reduced symmetry group and demonstrate that they must be reduced to their relativistic form if they are to avoid sourcing the gravitational Stuckelberg field. At the quantum level we consider one loop corrections to the propagator for a relativistic scalar minimally coupled to gravity at tree level. We find large corrections to the light cone at low energies arising from the strength of the coupling of the scalar graviton to matter. We also find evidence that higher order time derivatives may be generated, which is worrying if this is to be taken seriously as a UV complete theory.

Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2023

description: This study explores the use of a multi-feature Bayesian auditory sound localisation model to classify non-individual head-related transfer functions (HRTFs). Based on predicted sound localisation performance, these are grouped into ‘good’ and ‘bad’, and the ‘best’/‘worst’ is selected from each category. Firstly, we present a greedy algorithm for automated individual calibration of the model based on the individual sound localisation data. We then discuss data analysis of predicted directional localisation errors and present an algorithm for categorising the HRTFs based on the localisation error distributions within a limited range of directions in front of the listener. Finally, we discuss the validity of the classification algorithm when using averaged instead of individual model parameters. This analysis of auditory modelling results aims to provide a perceptual foundation for automated HRTF personalisation techniques for an improved experience of binaural spatial audio technologies.

description: Plug & Play methods combine proximal algorithms with denoiser priors to solve inverse problems. These methods rely on the computability of the proximal operator of the data fidelity term. In this paper, we propose a Plug & Play framework based on linearized ADMM that allows us to bypass the computation of intractable proximal operators. We demonstrate the convergence of the algorithm and provide results on restoration tasks such as super-resolution and deblurring with non-uniform blur.

description: It is shown that the thermodynamic Rutgers relation for the second order phase transitions can be used for the analysis of the superfluid density data irrespective of complexities of the Fermi surface, structure of the superconducting gap, pairing strength, or scattering. The only limitation is that critical fluctuations should be weak, so that the mean field theory of the second order phase transitions is applicable. By using the Rutgers relation, the zero temperature value of the London penetration depth, $λ(0)$, is related to the specific heat jump $ΔC$ and the slope of upper critical field $dH_{c2}/dT$ at the transition temperature $T_c$, provided the data on $Δλ=λ(T)-λ(0)$ are available in a broad temperature domain. We then provide a new way of determination of $λ(0)$, the quantity difficult to determine within many techniques.

description: There is a growing trend of performing analysis on large datasets using workflows composed of MapReduce jobs connected through producer-consumer relationships based on data. This trend has spurred the development of a number of interfaces--ranging from program-based to query-based interfaces--for generating MapReduce workflows. Studies have shown that the gap in performance can be quite large between optimized and unoptimized workflows. However, automatic cost-based optimization of MapReduce workflows remains a challenge due to the multitude of interfaces, large size of the execution plan space, and the frequent unavailability of all types of information needed for optimization. We introduce a comprehensive plan space for MapReduce workflows generated by popular workflow generators. We then propose Stubby, a cost-based optimizer that searches selectively through the subspace of the full plan space that can be enumerated correctly and costed based on the information available in any given setting. Stubby enumerates the plan space based on plan-to-plan transformations and an efficient search algorithm. Stubby is designed to be extensible to new interfaces and new types of optimizations, which is a desirable feature given how rapidly MapReduce systems are evolving. Stubby's efficiency and effectiveness have been evaluated using representative workflows from many domains.

B decays with $τ$-leptons in non-universal left-right models

description: Recent measurements of semileptonic $B$-meson decays into $τ$-leptons are somewhat higher than expected in the standard model. Although the deviations are less than 3$σ$, they suggest the possibility of new physics affecting primarily the $τ$-lepton. In this paper we examine these results within the context of non-universal left-right models. We find that strong constraints from $b\to s γ$ on $W-W^\prime$ mixing lead to a prediction of approximately equal enhancements for the $B\to D τν$ and the $B\to D^\star τν$ modes. The model predicts approximately the same enhancement for the inclusive semileptonic rate $\bar{B} \to X_c τν$ as well as for the leptonic decay $B_c^-\to τ^- ν$. An enhancement in the leptonic decay $B^-\to τ^-ν$ is also possible but is not uniquely correlated with the other modes. For this explanation to be viable, the mass of the non-universal $W^\prime$ would be below 1 TeV, within LHC reach.

ROBUST BINAURAL SOUND LOCALISATION WITH TEMPORAL ATTENTION
Creators: Qi Hu; Ning Ma; Guy Brown
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2023

description: Despite there being clear evidence for attentional effects in biological spatial hearing, relatively few machine hearing systems exploit attention in binaural sound localisation. This paper addresses this issue by proposing a novel binaural machine hearing system with temporal attention for robust localisation of sound sources in noisy and reverberant conditions. A convolutional neural network is employed to extract noise-robust localisation features, which are similar to interaural phase difference, directly from phase spectra of the left and right ears for each frame. A temporal attention layer operates on top of these frame-level features by incorporating outputs of a temporal mask estimation module that indicate target dominance within each frame. The combined features are then exploited by fully connected layers, which map them to the corresponding source azimuth. Both the temporal mask estimation module and the sound localisation module are trained jointly in a multi-task learning manner. Our evaluation shows that the proposed system is able to accurately estimate the azimuth of a sound source in various reverberant and noisy conditions.
