description: The auditory system plays a substantial role in shaping the overall human perceptual experience. While prevailing large language models (LLMs) and visual language models (VLMs) have shown their promise in solving a wide variety of language and vision understanding tasks, only a few of them can be generalised to the audio domain without compromising their domain-specific capability. In this work, we introduce Acoustic Prompt Tuning (APT), a new adapter extending LLMs and VLMs to the audio domain by injecting audio embeddings to the input of LLMs, namely soft prompting. Specifically, APT applies an instruction-aware audio aligner to generate soft prompts, conditioned on both input text and sounds, as the inputs to the language model. To mitigate data scarcity in the audio domain, a curriculum learning strategy is proposed by formulating diverse audio tasks in a sequential manner. Moreover, we improve the audio language model by using interleaved audio-text embeddings as the input sequence. In this improved model, zero constraints are imposed on the input format, thus it is capable of tackling diverse modelling tasks, such as few-shot audio classification and audio comparison. To further evaluate the advanced ability of the audio networks, we introduce natural language audio reasoning (NLAR), a new task that analyses two audio clips by comparison and summarisation. Experiments show that APT-enhanced LLMs (namely APT-LLMs) achieve competitive results compared to the expert models (i.e., the networks trained on the target datasets) across various tasks. We finally demonstrate APT's ability in extending frozen VLMs to the audio domain without fine-tuning, achieving promising results in audio-visual question and answering. Our code and model weights will be released at https://github.com/JinhuaLiang/APT

description: While many studies have previously conducted direct comparisons between results obtained from frequentist and Bayesian models, our research introduces a novel perspective by examining these models in the context of a small dataset comprising phonetic data. Specifically, we employed mixed-effects models and Bayesian regression models to explore differences between monolingual and bilingual populations in the acoustic values of produced vowels. Our findings revealed that Bayesian hypothesis testing exhibited superior accuracy in identifying evidence for differences compared to the posthoc test, which tended to underestimate the existence of such differences. These results align with a substantial body of previous research highlighting the advantages of Bayesian over frequentist models, thereby emphasizing the need for methodological reform. In conclusion, our study supports the assertion that Bayesian models are more suitable for investigating differences in small datasets of phonetic and/or linguistic data, suggesting that researchers in these fields may find greater reliability in utilizing such models for their analyses.

description: We report the dynamics of the cuprate superconductor La$_{2-x}$Sr$_{x}$CuO$_4$ ($x = 0.14$) after intense photoexcitation utilizing near-infrared (800 nm) optical pump-terahertz probe spectroscopy. In the superconducting state at 5 K, we observed a redshift of the Josephson plasma resonance that sustains for hundreds of picoseconds after the photoexcitation, indicating the destruction of the $c$-axis superconducting coherence. We show that the metastable spectral features can be described by the photoinduced surface heating of the sample. We also demonstrate that the conventional analysis used to extract the spectra of the photoexcited surface region can give rise to artifacts in the nonequilibrium response.
Off With His Head

Caravaggio was a complicated man, working in a complicated day, in a complicated city. As he ushered in the Baroque movement, playing with contrast, bending light with darkness, the Church was preoccupied with the game of highlighting or suppressing voices to maximize their power and minimize dissent. A well-known product of this is the struggle Galileo had in confirming that the earth revolved around the sun and not the other way around. Giordano Bruno was publicly burned at the stake for similar reasons. Often excluded from historical narratives of this time is the public execution of Beatrice Cenci and her family for reasons that leaned more towards political power and less towards moral judgement. Many Caravaggio historians point to Cenci’s death as the inspiration behind the common motif of beheadings in his paintings. Able to navigate between both the high and low cultures of Rome, Caravaggio provides a window into the way these societies interacted, one of many things that drew me to him and his story. He was also a person in his own right, with thoughts and feelings that we may never have the complete picture of, though he’s left us clues in his works and actions. Far less has been preserved of Prospero, Anna, Fillide, and Mario. This is my attempt to fill in the blanks.

description: We report possible interaction between multiple super nova remnants (SNRs) and Northern Coal Sack (NCS) which is a massive clump (~1000 Mo) in the Cyg OB 7 cloud complex and is forming a massive Class 0 object. We performed molecular observations of the 12CO(J=1-0), 13CO(J=1-0), and C18O(J=1-0) emission lines using the 45m telescope at the Nobeyama Radio Observatory, and we found that there are mainly four velocity components at Vlsr=-20, -6, -4, and 10 km/s. The -6 and -4 km/s components correspond to the systemic velocities of NCS and the Cygnus OB 7 complex, respectively, and the other velocity components originate from distinct smaller clouds. Interestingly, there are apparent correlations and anti-correlations among the spatial distributions of the four components, suggesting that they are physically interacting with one another. On a larger scale, we find that a group of small clouds belonging to the -20 and 10 km/s components are located along two different arcs around some SNRs including HB 21 which has been suggested to be interacting with the Cyg OB 7 cloud complex, and we also find that NCS is located right at the interface of the arcs. The small clouds are likely to be the gas swept up by the stellar wind of the massive stars which created the SNRs. We suggest that the small clouds alined along the two arcs recently encountered NCS and the massive star formation in NCS was triggered by the strong interaction with the small clouds.

TESTIMONIALS
Creators: name: Castaing, Christian E
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2024

TESTIMONIALS, a novella and other stories, is set within the Bay Area — deep in the districts long removed from the municipal budget — and delves into the lives of men, women, and adolescents longing for acknowledgment, reinvention, and peace amongst the many spirits, past and present. In ‘Yard Range,’ a woman finds a surrogate in her Senator’s child and wonders what it would take to change one man’s vote. ‘Body Known’ follows a masseuse treating clients whose bodies archive stories, songs, jokes, and confessions. In ‘Height Marks,’ an elder passes on survival tips to a nephew ostracized from the family. ‘Spirit Per Capita’ chronicles one woman's desperate search for the woman who changed her life. In ‘Autofiction,’ a man must negotiate the cruelest of requests: tell us a story. And in the novella ‘The Snow,’ a child and a night janitor navigate the worst summer camp in San Francisco, where strange messes happen overnight, and where words must be stolen. Utilizing first, second, and collective narrations, these stories explore lives not defined by victimhood or race but by irretrievable and fleeting choices, unforgivable compromises, and loyalty to one’s people and one’s self. Here, history doesn’t repeat: it echoes, couplets, and yearns for you.

description: A novel, copper-based plasmonic system is presented to provide optical to microwave photon conversion. The process uses highly excited levels in Cu2O Rydberg excitons and takes advantage of spoof plasmons, which allow for significant enhancement of the transition probability between specific excitonic energy levels. The theoretical results are verified with numerical simulations. The proposed system is very flexible, allowing for emission of microwaves wavelength from 0.1 mm to 10 mm.

description: Despite the recent success of deep learning models in numerous applications, their widespread use on mobile devices is seriously impeded by storage and computational requirements. In this paper, we propose a novel network compression method called Adaptive Dimension Adjustment Tucker decomposition (ADA-Tucker). With learnable core tensors and transformation matrices, ADA-Tucker performs Tucker decomposition of arbitrary-order tensors. Furthermore, we propose that weight tensors in networks with proper order and balanced dimension are easier to be compressed. Therefore, the high flexibility in decomposition choice distinguishes ADA-Tucker from all previous low-rank models. To compress more, we further extend the model to Shared Core ADA-Tucker (SCADA-Tucker) by defining a shared core tensor for all layers. Our methods require no overhead of recording indices of non-zero elements. Without loss of accuracy, our methods reduce the storage of LeNet-5 and LeNet-300 by ratios of 691 times and 233 times, respectively, significantly outperforming state of the art. The effectiveness of our methods is also evaluated on other three benchmarks (CIFAR-10, SVHN, ILSVRC12) and modern newly deep networks (ResNet, Wide-ResNet).

description: We study the strategic implications that arise from adding one extra option to the miners participating in the bitcoin protocol. We propose that when adding a block, miners also have the ability to pay forward an amount to be collected by the first miner who successfully extends their branch, giving them the power to influence the incentives for mining. We formulate a stochastic game for the study of such incentives and show that with this added option, smaller miners can guarantee that the best response of even substantially more powerful miners is to follow the expected behavior intended by the protocol designer.

description: Most existing bundle generation approaches fall short in generating fixed-size bundles. Furthermore, they often neglect the underlying user intents reflected by the bundles in the generation process, resulting in less intelligible bundles. This paper addresses these limitations through the exploration of two interrelated tasks, i.e., personalized bundle generation and the underlying intent inference, based on different user sessions. Inspired by the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs), we propose an adaptive in-context learning paradigm, which allows LLMs to draw tailored lessons from related sessions as demonstrations, enhancing the performance on target sessions. Specifically, we first employ retrieval augmented generation to identify nearest neighbor sessions, and then carefully design prompts to guide LLMs in executing both tasks on these neighbor sessions. To tackle reliability and hallucination challenges, we further introduce (1) a self-correction strategy promoting mutual improvements of the two tasks without supervision signals and (2) an auto-feedback mechanism for adaptive supervision based on the distinct mistakes made by LLMs on different neighbor sessions. Thereby, the target session can gain customized lessons for improved performance by observing the demonstrations of its neighbor sessions. Experiments on three real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method.

description: The orientation of the angular momentum vector with respect to the triaxial density distribution selects a left-handed or right-handed system principal axes. This breaking of chiral symmetry manifests itself as pairs of nearly identical $ΔI=1$-bands. The chiral structures combine high-j particles and high-j holes with a triaxial rotor. Tilted axis cranking calculations predict the existence of such configurations in different mass regions. There is experimental evidence in odd-odd nuclei around mass 134. The quantized motion of the angular momentum vector between the left- and right-handed configurations, which causes the splitting between the chiral sister bands, can be classified as tunneling (chiral rotors) or oscillation (chiral vibrators).

description: This article starts from the assumption that the critique of representation is fundamental for a critical conceptualization of affect. In this regard, theories discussed in the tradition of Spinoza are crucial; they connect affect with a reflexive moment and at the same time determine it as a fundamental affection preceding the subject. As a result of this perspectivism, affect can be associated on the one hand with artistic practices, on the other hand it can be characterized as a co-evolutionary process of individuation between technique, organism, and the world. By trying to connect a critique of representation and affect theory, this contribution takes into account the current interest in affect – not in order to follow the myth of immediacy, but to render conceivable a critical attitude that includes the interrelation of reflexive-cognitive and affective-physical moments.

description: The interplay of topological electronic band structures and strong interparticle interactions provides a promising path towards the constructive design of robust, long-range entangled many-body systems. As a prototype for such systems, we here study an exactly integrable, local model for a fractionalized topological insulator. Using a controlled perturbation theory about this limit, we demonstrate the existence of topological bands of zeros in the exact fermionic Green's function and show that {in this model} they do affect the topological invariant of the system, but not the quantized transport response. Close to (but prior to) the Higgs transition signaling the breakdown of fractionalization, the topological bands of zeros acquire a finite ``lifetime''. We also discuss the appearance of edge states and edge zeros at real space domain walls separating different phases of the system. This model provides a fertile ground for controlled studies of the phenomenology of Green's function zeros and the underlying exactly solvable lattice gauge theory illustrates the synergetic cross-pollination between solid-state theory, high-energy physics and quantum information science.

description: The electroweak sector of the Standard Model can be formulated in a way similar to Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT), but extended by a singlet scalar. The resulting effective field theory (EFT) is called Higgs-Electroweak Chiral Lagrangian (EWCh$\mathcal{L}$) and is the most general approach to new physics in the Higgs sector. It solely assumes the pattern of symmetry breaking leading to the three electroweak Goldstone bosons (i.e. massive $W$ and $Z$) and the existence of a Higgs-like scalar particle. The power counting of the EWCh$\mathcal{L}$ is given by a generalization of the momentum expansion of ChPT. It is connected to a loop expansion, making the theory renormalizable order by order in the EFT. I will briefly review the construction of the EWCh$\mathcal{L}$ and its power counting. Then, I will discuss the complete one-loop renormalization of the EWCh$\mathcal{L}$ employing the background-field method and the super-heat-kernel expansion. This computation confirms the power counting assumptions, is consistent with the completeness of the operator basis, and reproduces known results of subsectors in the appropriate limits.

description: Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) is applied to control a nonlinear, chaotic system governed by the one-dimensional Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (KS) equation. DRL uses reinforcement learning principles for the determination of optimal control solutions and deep Neural Networks for approximating the value function and the control policy. Recent applications have shown that DRL may achieve superhuman performance in complex cognitive tasks. In this work, we show that using restricted, localized actuations, partial knowledge of the state based on limited sensor measurements, and model-free DRL controllers, it is possible to stabilize the dynamics of the KS system around its unstable fixed solutions, here considered as target states. The robustness of the controllers is tested by considering several trajectories in the phase-space emanating from different initial conditions; we show that the DRL is always capable of driving and stabilizing the dynamics around the target states. The complexity of the KS system, the possibility of defining the DRL control policies by solely relying on the local measurements of the system, and their efficiency in controlling its nonlinear dynamics pave the way for the application of RL methods in control of complex fluid systems such as turbulent boundary layers, turbulent mixers or multiphase flows.
Botched

While investigating incidents where imperfection improves the whole instead of ruining it—across disciplines including animation, particle physics, and rug making—the narrator of “Botched” remembers an early childhood trauma, and explores how this flaw might have shaped her own life. “Botched” is a literary exploration into the heart of imperfection, blending fiction, nonfiction, memoir, and photography.

description: We study nonequilibrium spin dynamics in differentially rotating systems, deriving an effective Hamiltonian for conduction electrons in the comoving frame. In contrast to conventional spin current generation mechanisms that require vorticity, our theory describes spins and spin currents arising from differentially rotating systems regardless of vorticity. We demonstrate the generation of spin currents in differentially rotating systems, such as liquid metals with Taylor-Couette flow. Our alternative mechanism will be important in the development of nanomechanical spin devices.

description: Polarization dependent loss (PDL) is a serious problem that hinders the transfer of polarization qubits through quantum networks. Recently it has been shown that the detrimental effects of PDL on qubit fidelity can be compensated for with the introduction of an additional passive PDL element that rebalances the polarization modes of the transmitted qubit. This procedure works extremely well when the output of the system is postselected on photon detection. However, in cases where the qubit might be needed for further analysis this procedure introduces unwanted vacuum terms into the state. Here we present procedures for the compensation of the effects of PDL using noiseless amplification and attenuation. Each of these techniques introduces a heralding signal into the correction procedure that significantly reduces the vacuum terms in the final state. When detector inefficiency and dark counts are included in the analysis noiseless amplification remains superior, in terms of the fidelity of the final state, to both noiseless attenuation and passive PDL compensation for detector efficiencies greater than 40%.

description: The name "Narineri" is adopted in the initial sections of this study as a convenient cover term applying to the languages and people of a group of related tribes of Aborigines of the Lower Murray River area, South Australia. The tribes referred to formed a unit in several respects. They differed significantly in language and culture from their neighbours. They shared a common culture and common enemies, intermarried and spoke closely related dialects. The close similarity of the languages of the tribes never gave rise to consciousness of a shared language: each tribe considered its own "language" to be distinct, often exaggerating its degree of difference from the others.

description: We present an experimental study of the preferential concentration of sub-Kolmogorov inertial particles in active-grid-generated homogeneous and isotropic turbulence, characterized via Voronoï tessellations. We show that the detection and quantification of clusters and voids is influenced by the intensity of the laser and high values of particles volume fraction $ϕ_v$. Different biases on the statistics of Voronoï cells are analyzed to improve the reliability of the detection and the robustness in the characterization of clusters and voids. We do this by adapting Big-Data techniques that allow to process the particle images up to 10 times faster than standard algorithms. Finally, as preferential concentration is known to depend on multiple parameters, we performed experiments where one parameter was varied and all others were kept constant ($ϕ_v$, Reynolds number based on the Taylor length scale $Re_λ$, and residence time of the particles interacting with the turbulence). Our results confirm, in agreement with published work, that clustering increases with both $ϕ_v$ and $Re_λ$. On the other hand, we find new evidence that the mean size of clusters increases with $Re_λ$ but decreases with $ϕ_v$ and that the cluster settling velocity is strongly affected by $Re_λ$ up to the maximum value studied here, $Re_λ= 250$.

description: We show that the graph property of having a (very) large $k$-th Betti number $β_k$ for constant $k$ is testable with a constant number of queries in the dense graph model. More specifically, we consider a clique complex defined by an underlying graph and prove that for any $\varepsilon>0$, there exists $δ(\varepsilon,k)>0$ such that testing whether $β_k \geq (1-δ) d_k$ for $δ\leq δ(\varepsilon,k)$ reduces to tolerantly testing $(k+2)$-clique-freeness, which is known to be testable. This complements a result by Elek (2010) showing that Betti numbers are testable in the bounded-degree model. Our result combines the Euler characteristic, matroid theory and the graph removal lemma.
