description: Saliency post-hoc explainability methods are important tools for understanding increasingly complex NLP models. While these methods can reflect the model's reasoning, they may not align with human intuition, making the explanations not plausible. In this work, we present a methodology for incorporating rationales, which are text annotations explaining human decisions, into text classification models. This incorporation enhances the plausibility of post-hoc explanations while preserving their faithfulness. Our approach is agnostic to model architectures and explainability methods. We introduce the rationales during model training by augmenting the standard cross-entropy loss with a novel loss function inspired by contrastive learning. By leveraging a multi-objective optimization algorithm, we explore the trade-off between the two loss functions and generate a Pareto-optimal frontier of models that balance performance and plausibility. Through extensive experiments involving diverse models, datasets, and explainability methods, we demonstrate that our approach significantly enhances the quality of model explanations without causing substantial (sometimes negligible) degradation in the original model's performance.

description: The similar densities of dark matter and baryons in the universe imply that they might arise from the same ultraviolet model. The B-Mesogenesis, which assumes dark matter is charged under the baryon number, attempts to simultaneously explain the origin of baryon asymmetry and dark matter in the universe. In particular, the B-Mesogenesis might induce bottom-baryon decays into invisible or semi-invisible final states, which provide a distinctive signal for probing this scenario. In this work, we systematically study the invisible decays of bottom baryons into dark matters, and semi-invisible decays of bottom baryons into a meson or a photon together with a dark matter particle. In particular, the fully invisible decay can explore the stable particles in B-Mesogenesis. Some QCD-based frameworks are used to calculate the hadronic matrix elements under the B-Mesogenesis model. We estimate the constraints on the Wilson coefficients or the product of some new physics couplings with the Wilson coefficients by the semi-invisible and invisible decays of bottom baryons at future colliders.

description: Large Language Models (LLMs) have been widely utilized to perform complex robotic tasks. However, handling external disturbances during tasks is still an open challenge. This paper proposes a novel method to achieve robotic adaptive tasks based on LLMs and Behavior Trees (BTs). It utilizes ChatGPT to reason the descriptive steps of tasks. In order to enable ChatGPT to understand the environment, semantic maps are constructed by an object recognition algorithm. Then, we design a Parser module based on Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) to parse these steps into initial BTs. Subsequently, a BTs Update algorithm is proposed to expand the initial BTs dynamically to control robots to perform adaptive tasks. Different from other LLM-based methods for complex robotic tasks, our method outputs variable BTs that can add and execute new actions according to environmental changes, which is robust to external disturbances. Our method is validated with simulation in different practical scenarios.

description: In the realm of open quantum systems, steady states and high-harmonic generation (HHG) existing far from equilibrium have become core pillars of ultrafast science. Most solid-state research explores charge HHG with limited investigations into spin degrees of freedom. In this study, we theoretically address spin HHG in the steady state resulting from the terahertz laser-driven spin-phonon coupling in a dissipative dimerized spin-1/2 chain. Instead of directly driving spins using time-dependent magnetic fields, we employ the magnetophononic mechanism, where the laser first drives the lattice, and then the excited lattice subsequently drives the spins. We investigate the role of various model parameters for optimizing HHG. Increasing the laser's amplitude amplifies spin HHG beyond the perturbative regime, enhancing both harmonic amplitudes and orders. We find that configuring the drive frequency far below the spin band yields the highest harmonic order. Additionally, we provide a theory matching the numerical results under weak spin-phonon coupling and propose an experimental procedure to probe the emission spectrum of spin HHG.

description: With the observed data of the S2 orbit around the black hole Sgr A$^*$ and the Markov Chain Monte Carlo method, we make a constraint on parameters of a disformal Schwarzschild black hole in quadratic degenerate higher-order scalar-tensor (DHOST) theories. This black hole belongs to a class of non-stealth solutions and owns an extra disformal parameter described the deviation from general relativity. Our results show that the best fit value of the disformal parameter is positive. However, in the range of $1σ$, we also find that general relativity remains to be consistent with the observation of the S2 orbit.

description: We investigate the gravitational form factors of charmonium. Our method is based on a Hamiltonian formalism on the light front known as basis light-front quantization. The charmonium mass spectrum and light-front wave functions were obtained from diagonalizing an effective Hamiltonian that incorporates confinement from holographic QCD and one-gluon exchange interaction from light-front QCD. We proposed a quantum many-body approach to construct the hadronic matrix elements of the energy momentum tensor $T^{++}$ and $T^{+-}$, which are used to extract the gravitational form factors $A(Q^2)$ and $D(Q^2)$. The obtained form factors satisfy the known constraints, e.g. von Laue condition. From these quantities, we also extract the energy, pressure and light-front energy distributions of the system. We find that hadrons are multi-layer systems.

description: Despite decades of effort, the mechanisms by which the spin axis of a star and the orbital axes of its planets become misaligned remain elusive. Particularly, it is of great interest whether the large spin-orbit misalignments observed are driven primarily by high-eccentricity migration -- expected to have occurred for short-period, isolated planets -- or reflect a more universal process that operates across systems with a variety of present-day architectures. Compact multi-planet systems offer a unique opportunity to differentiate between these competing hypotheses, as their tightly-packed configurations preclude violent dynamical histories, including high-eccentricity migration, allowing them to trace the primordial disk plane. In this context, we report measurements of the sky-projected stellar obliquity ($λ$) via the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect for two sub-Saturns in multiple-transiting systems: TOI-5126 b ($λ=1\pm 48 ^\circ$) and TOI-5398 b ($λ=-8.1^{+5.3 \circ}_{-6.3}$). Both are spin-orbit aligned, joining a fast-growing group of just three other compact sub-Saturn systems, all of which exhibit spin-orbit alignment. In aggregate with archival data, our results strongly suggest that sub-Saturn systems are primordially aligned and become misaligned largely in the post-disk phase, as appears to be the case increasingly for other exoplanet populations.

description: By harnessing multiple degrees of freedom (DoFs) within a single photon, controlled quantum unitaries, such as the two-qubit controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate, play a pivotal role in advancing quantum communication protocols like dense coding and entanglement distillation. In this work, we devise and realize a CNOT operation between polarization and frequency DoFs by exploiting directionally dependent electro-optic phase modulation within a fiber Sagnac loop. Alongside computational basis measurements, we validate the effectiveness of this operation through the synthesis of all four Bell states in a single photon, all with fidelities greater than 98%. This demonstration opens new avenues for manipulating hyperentanglement across these two crucial DoFs, marking a foundational step toward leveraging polarization-frequency resources in fiber networks for future quantum applications.

description: The use of renewable energy converters, including local wind power plants to provide private households and houses with electricity, is gaining popularity, especially in countries where there are appropriate state subsidies. In this paper considered approach to the use of the building roof in the conversion of the kinetic energy of the incoming wind into electrical energy by a closed wind power plant (WPP). The construction of the WPP and the roof are converted into a finite element model for aerodynamic calculations. The model of WPPs and roofs is investigated by changing the angle of attack of the roof, with different roofing applications, and also some other elements of the WPP design in order to find the most optimal conditions for increasing the energy efficiency factor (EEF) of the energy carrier. The described approach with the use of a roof in the conversion of wind energy into electrical energy can be used in the structural design and construction of autonomous houses and buildings.

description: Sponges are the earliest branching metazoans, and as such a key group for understanding of the evolutionary history of animal regeneration mechanisms. Sponges are known to possess remarkable reconstitutive and regenerative abilities. We investigated regeneration of Leucosolenia complicata, an abundant and broadly distributed in White Sea species. We have combined several microscopy techniques to study cellular mechanisms of reparative regeneration in this sponge. Wound healing followed by complete restoration of lost body parts have been observed. Epithelial morphogenesis, mainly spreading (flattening) and fusion of epithelial sheets was found to be the key morphogenetic process during regeneration for L. complicata. Transdifferentiation of choanocytes to pinacocytes accompanied the regeneration We demonstrate that regeneration in sponges involves a variety of processes utilized in other animals.

description: Over the last decade, an increasing body of evidence has emerged, supporting the existence of a metastable liquid-liquid critical point in supercooled water, whereby two distinct liquid phases of different densities coexist. Analysing long molecular dynamics simulations performed using deep neural-network force fields trained to accurate quantum mechanical data, we demonstrate that the low-density liquid phase displays a strong propensity toward spontaneous polarization, as witnessed by large and long-lived collective dipole fluctuations. Our findings suggest that the dynamical stability of the low-density phase, and hence the transition from high-density to low-density liquid, is triggered by a collective process involving an accumulation of rotational angular jumps, which could ignite large dipole fluctuations. This dynamical transition involves subtle changes in the electronic polarizability of water molecules which affects their rotational mobility within the two phases. These findings hold the potential for catalyzing new activity in the search for dielectric-based probes of the putative second critical point.

description: Kulturen beeinflussen das Zusammenleben und das Geschäftsleben von Menschen wesentlich. Geert Hofstede stellte in seinem wissenschaftlichen Werk „Cultural Dimensions“ fest, dass kulturelle Ausprägungen einen wesentlichen Einfluss auf den Verlauf von Geschäftsbeziehungen ausüben. Ergebnisse seines Werkes beinhalteten allerdings ausschließlich Erfahrungswerte aus traditionellen (Offline-) Geschäftsverbindungen. Im Zuge dieser Magisterarbeit wird nun überprüft, ob seine Kulturtheorie auch bei Onlinethemen anwendbar ist. Die Arbeit ist dabei in zwei wesentliche Abschnitte unterteilt. Im ersten Abschnitt werden bereits bekannte theoretische Auswirkungen von Kulturen und deren Einflüsse für das Onlinegeschäft dargestellt. Der zweite Abschnitt überprüft anschließend anhand einer empirischen Befragung, ob die erörterten kulturspezifischen Implikationen den Onlinegeschäftsverlauf wirklich beeinflussen können.
description: Cultures influence the daily and the business life of humans. Geert Hofstede’s theory about „Cultural Dimensions” discovered that cultural aspects have an important influence on business transactions. Unfortunately, his theory only analyzed the influence of cultures on offline activities. This master thesis, therefore, describes how cultural variety influences online matters. The work is divided into two main chapters. Chapter one specifies on the theoretical impact of cultures on online business activities. In this part, proposals for cultural orientated web activities are derived from the theoretical background of Hofstede’s work. The goal of the second chapter later on was to approve the theoretical influences of cultural activities on online matters. Thus, an empirical questionnaire was conducted to control for the theoretical impact of cultures from chapter one.

description: Fault-tolerant coverage control involves determining a trajectory that enables an autonomous agent to cover specific points of interest, even in the presence of actuation and/or sensing faults. In this work, the agent encounters control inputs that are erroneous; specifically, its nominal controls inputs are perturbed by stochastic disturbances, potentially disrupting its intended operation. Existing techniques have focused on deterministically bounded disturbances or relied on the assumption of Gaussian disturbances, whereas non-Gaussian disturbances have been primarily been tackled via scenario-based stochastic control methods. However, the assumption of Gaussian disturbances is generally limited to linear systems, and scenario-based methods can become computationally prohibitive. To address these limitations, we propose a hierarchical coverage controller that integrates mixed-trigonometric-polynomial moment propagation to propagate non-Gaussian disturbances through the agent's nonlinear dynamics. Specifically, the first stage generates an ideal reference plan by optimising the agent's mobility and camera control inputs. The second-stage fault-tolerant controller then aims to follow this reference plan, even in the presence of erroneous control inputs caused by non-Gaussian disturbances. This is achieved by imposing a set of deterministic constraints on the moments of the system's uncertain states.

description: Frequency-degenerate pulsed type-I parametric downconversion is a widely used source of squeezed light for numerous quantum optical applications. However, this source is typically spectrally multimode and the generated squeezing is distributed between many spectral modes with a limited degree of squeezing per mode. We show that in a nonlinear crystal, where the condition of complete group velocity matching (GVM) for the pump and the signal is satisfied, the number of generated modes may be as low as two or three modes. We illustrate the general theory with the example of the MgO-doped lithium niobate crystal pumped at 775 nm and generating squeezed light at 1.55 $μ$m. Our model includes the derivation of the degree of squeezing from the properties of the pump and the crystal and shows that 12 dB of squeezing can be obtained in a periodically poled crystal of length 80 mm.

description: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems combine the strengths of language generation and information retrieval to power many real-world applications like chatbots. Use of RAG for understanding of videos is appealing but there are two critical limitations. One-time, upfront conversion of all content in large corpus of videos into text descriptions entails high processing times. Also, not all information in the rich video data is typically captured in the text descriptions. Since user queries are not known apriori, developing a system for video to text conversion and interactive querying of video data is challenging.
 To address these limitations, we propose an incremental RAG system called iRAG, which augments RAG with a novel incremental workflow to enable interactive querying of a large corpus of videos. Unlike traditional RAG, iRAG quickly indexes large repositories of videos, and in the incremental workflow, it uses the index to opportunistically extract more details from select portions of the videos to retrieve context relevant to an interactive user query. Such an incremental workflow avoids long video to text conversion times, and overcomes information loss issues due to conversion of video to text, by doing on-demand query-specific extraction of details in video data. This ensures high quality of responses to interactive user queries that are often not known apriori. To the best of our knowledge, iRAG is the first system to augment RAG with an incremental workflow to support efficient interactive querying of a large corpus of videos. Experimental results on real-world datasets demonstrate 23x to 25x faster video to text ingestion, while ensuring that latency and quality of responses to interactive user queries is comparable to responses from a traditional RAG where all video data is converted to text upfront before any user querying.

description: Area metrics and area metric backgrounds provide a unified framework for quantum gravity. They encode physical degrees of freedom beyond those of a metric. These non-metric degrees of freedom must be suppressed by a potential at sufficiently high energy scales to ensure that in the infrared regime classical gravity is recovered. On this basis, we first study necessary and sufficient algebraic conditions for an area metric to be induced by a metric. Second, we consider candidate potentials for the area metric and point out a possible connection between the reduction of area metric geometry to metric geometry on the one hand, and the smallness of the cosmological constant on the other. Finally, we consider modifications of the Nambu-Goto action for a string, from a metric background to an area metric background. We demonstrate that area metric perturbations introduce an interaction corresponding to a singular vertex operator in the classically equivalent Polyakov action. The implications of these types of vertex operators for the quantum theory remain to be understood.

description: This research addresses the challenge of estimating bathymetry from imaging sonars where the state-of-the-art works have primarily relied on either supervised learning with ground-truth labels or surface rendering based on the Lambertian assumption. In this letter, we propose a novel, self-supervised framework based on volume rendering for reconstructing bathymetry using forward-looking sonar (FLS) data collected during standard surveys. We represent the seafloor as a neural heightmap encapsulated with a parametric multi-resolution hash encoding scheme and model the sonar measurements with a differentiable renderer using sonar volumetric rendering employed with hierarchical sampling techniques. Additionally, we model the horizontal and vertical beam patterns and estimate them jointly with the bathymetry. We evaluate the proposed method quantitatively on simulation and field data collected by remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) during low-altitude surveys. Results show that the proposed method outperforms the current state-of-the-art approaches that use imaging sonars for seabed mapping. We also demonstrate that the proposed approach can potentially be used to increase the resolution of a low-resolution prior map with FLS data from low-altitude surveys.

description: Recently, deep learning approaches have provided solutions to difficult problems in wireless positioning (WP). Although these WP algorithms have attained excellent and consistent performance against complex channel environments, the computational complexity coming from processing high-dimensional features can be prohibitive for mobile applications. In this work, we design a novel positioning neural network (P-NN) that utilizes the minimum description features to substantially reduce the complexity of deep learning-based WP. P-NN's feature selection strategy is based on maximum power measurements and their temporal locations to convey information needed to conduct WP. We improve P-NN's learning ability by intelligently processing two different types of inputs: sparse image and measurement matrices. Specifically, we implement a self-attention layer to reinforce the training ability of our network. We also develop a technique to adapt feature space size, optimizing over the expected information gain and the classification capability quantified with information-theoretic measures on signal bin selection. Numerical results show that P-NN achieves a significant advantage in performance-complexity tradeoff over deep learning baselines that leverage the full power delay profile (PDP). In particular, we find that P-NN achieves a large improvement in performance for low SNR, as unnecessary measurements are discarded in our minimum description features.

How explainable AI affects human performance: A systematic review of the behavioural consequences of saliency maps

description: Saliency maps can explain how deep neural networks classify images. But are they actually useful for humans? The present systematic review of 68 user studies found that while saliency maps can enhance human performance, null effects or even costs are quite common. To investigate what modulates these effects, the empirical outcomes were organised along several factors related to the human tasks, AI performance, XAI methods, images to be classified, human participants and comparison conditions. In image-focused tasks, benefits were less common than in AI-focused tasks, but the effects depended on the specific cognitive requirements. Moreover, benefits were usually restricted to incorrect AI predictions in AI-focused tasks but to correct ones in image-focused tasks. XAI-related factors had surprisingly little impact. The evidence was limited for image- and human-related factors and the effects were highly dependent on the comparison conditions. These findings may support the design of future user studies.
title: Grundbücherliche Besicherung von Forderungen in Slowenien
Creators: name: Prusnik, Marko
Year: 2011

description: In Zeiten der weltweiten Wirtschaftskrise und der oftmals dadurch bedingten mangelnden Zahlungsfähigkeit der Schuldner kommt der ordnungsgemäßen und forderungsde-ckenden Besicherung von Forderungen in der (Finanzierungs-)Praxis wesentliche Bedeutung zu. Das wohl passendste Mittel der Besicherung von Forderungen stellt dabei die grundbücherliche Besicherung von Forderungen dar. Aufgrund der massiven Präsenz österreichischer Unternehmen (insb Banken) in Slowenien stellt sich für diese Unternehmen oftmals die Frage, welche grundbücherlichen Si-cherungsmittel in Slowenien zur Verfügung stehen und wie sich diese Sicherungsmittel von den nach österreichischem Recht bekannten Rechtsinstituten unterscheiden. In dieser Dissertation werden mittels der Methode der funktionalen Rechtsvergleichung Ähnlichkeiten und Verschiedenheiten des slowenischen und österreichischen Rechts im Bereich der grundbücherlichen Besicherung von Forderungen ausgearbeitet und die (praktischen) Auswirkungen von Verschiedenheiten dargelegt. Die wesentliche Erkenntnis daraus ist, dass das slowenische Recht neben der auch in Österreich bekannten Hypothek noch ein weiteres grundbücherliches Sicherungsmittel kennt, nämlich die sog Grundschuld. Die Grundschuld stellt im Vergleich zur Hypothek ein weit flexibleres Sicherungsmittel dar, da sie nicht vom Bestand bzw Fortbestand der besicherten Forderung abhängig ist, daher ein nicht-akzessorisches Sicherungsmittel darstellt. Insb kann der Eigentümer einer Liegenschaft etwa (i) eine Grundschuld "auf Vorrat" begründen und diese nach Bedarf zur Besicherung verwenden und/oder (ii) nach Tilgung einer durch eine Grundschuld besicherten Forderung die entsprechende Grundschuld zur Besicherung einer anderen Forderung wieder verwenden. Darüber hinaus hat die Grundschuld für den Gläubiger gegenüber der "klassischen" Hypothek den Vorteil, dass der Grundschuldbrief, in welchem die Grundschuld inkorporiert ist, bereits einen Exekutionstitel darstellt, auf Grund welchem unmittelbar die Exekution in die belastete Liegenschaft eingeleitet werden kann. Auch das Hypothekenrecht selbst ist in Slowenien flexibler und moderner gestaltet als in Österreich. So bietet das slowenische Hypothekenrecht insb (i) die Möglichkeit zur Erhebung der Hypothekarklage schon vor Fälligkeit der besicherten Forderung und (ii) eine kürzere Frist zur Verjährung der Hypothek (10 Jahre statt 30 Jahre in Österreich).

description: Diese Arbeit hat zum Ziel, das Potential des Rahmenmodells der pragmatischen Präsupposition von R. Stalnakers (2002) für die Anwendung auf russische und deutsche Rechtstexte zu untersuchen. Es werden die nötigen Grundlagen dieser Theorie aufgearbeitet und mit Ergebnissen aus der russischen Forschung verglichen. Das Common-Ground-Modell Stalnakers wird auf seine Potentiale hinsichtlich des Forschungsziels geprüft und im Anschluss mit Forschungsansätzen aus der Rechtslinguistik in Verbindung gebracht. Die dadurch erhaltenen Resultate fließen in die praktische Begutachtung eines russischen und eines deutschsprachigen Rechtstextes ein.
