description: Reinforcement Learning (RL), bolstered by the expressive capabilities of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) for function approximation, has demonstrated considerable success in numerous applications. However, its practicality in addressing various real-world scenarios, characterized by diverse and unpredictable dynamics, noisy signals, and large state and action spaces, remains limited. This limitation stems from poor data efficiency, limited generalization capabilities, a lack of safety guarantees, and the absence of interpretability, among other factors. To overcome these challenges and improve performance across these crucial metrics, one promising avenue is to incorporate additional structural information about the problem into the RL learning process. Various sub-fields of RL have proposed methods for incorporating such inductive biases. We amalgamate these diverse methodologies under a unified framework, shedding light on the role of structure in the learning problem, and classify these methods into distinct patterns of incorporating structure. By leveraging this comprehensive framework, we provide valuable insights into the challenges of structured RL and lay the groundwork for a design pattern perspective on RL research. This novel perspective paves the way for future advancements and aids in developing more effective and efficient RL algorithms that can potentially handle real-world scenarios better.

Defect tolerance of lead-halide perovskite (100) surface relative to bulk: band bending, surface states, and characteristics of vacancies

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We characterized the formation of vacancies at a surface slab model and contrasted the results with the bulk of lead-halide perovskites using cubic and tetragonal CsPbI$_3$ as representative structures. The defect-free CsI-terminated (100) surface does not trap charge carriers. In the presence of defects (vacancies), the surface is expected to exhibit $p$-type behavior. The formation energy of cesium vacancies $V_\text{Cs}^{-}$ is lower at the surface than in the bulk, while iodine vacancies $V_\text{I}^{+}$ have a similar energy (around 0.25$-$0.4 eV) within the range of chemical potentials compatible with solution processing synthesis conditions. Lead-iodine divacancies ($V_\text{PbI}^{-}$) are expected to dominate over lead-only vacancies at the surfaces. Major surface vacancies create shallow host-like energy states with a small Franck-Condon shift, making them electronically harmless (same as in bulk). The spin-orbit coupling contributes to the defect tolerance of lead-halide perovskite surfaces by causing delocalization of electronic states associated with $n$-type defects and retraction of lowest unoccupied states from the surface due to a mixing of Pb-$p_{x,y,z}$ orbitals. These results explain a high optoelectronic performance of two-dimensional structures, nanoparticles, and polycrystalline thin films of lead-halide perovskites despite the abundance of interfaces in these materials.

description: Commercial titanium dioxide is successfully plasma-treated under ambient conditions for different time periods, leading to reduced crystallite size and the creation of oxygen vacancies. Density functional theory-based calculations reveal the emergence of additional localized states close to the conduction band, primarily associated with under-coordinated titanium atoms in non-stoichiometric titanium-oxide systems. The plasma-treated samples exhibit improved photocatalytic performance in the degradation of methylene blue compared to untreated samples. Moreover, the 4-hour plasma-treated photocatalyst demonstrates commendable stability and reusability. This work highlights the potential of cost-effective plasma treatment as a simple modification technique to significantly enhance the photocatalytic capabilities of titanium dioxide.

description: Ensuring the reliability of face recognition systems against presentation attacks necessitates the deployment of face anti-spoofing techniques. Despite considerable advancements in this domain, the ability of even the most state-of-the-art methods to defend against adversarial examples remains elusive. While several adversarial defense strategies have been proposed, they typically suffer from constrained practicability due to inevitable trade-offs between universality, effectiveness, and efficiency. To overcome these challenges, we thoroughly delve into the coupled relationship between adversarial detection and face anti-spoofing. Based on this, we propose a robust face anti-spoofing framework, namely AdvFAS, that leverages two coupled scores to accurately distinguish between correctly detected and wrongly detected face images. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework in a variety of settings, including different attacks, datasets, and backbones, meanwhile enjoying high accuracy on clean examples. Moreover, we successfully apply the proposed method to detect real-world adversarial examples.

description: Quantum state preparation is vital in quantum computing and information processing. The ability to accurately and reliably prepare specific quantum states is essential for various applications. One of the promising applications of quantum computers is quantum simulation. This requires preparing a quantum state representing the system we are trying to simulate. This research introduces a novel simulation algorithm, the multi-Split-Steps Quantum Walk (multi-SSQW), designed to learn and load complicated probability distributions using parameterized quantum circuits (PQC) with a variational solver on classical simulators. The multi-SSQW algorithm is a modified version of the split-steps quantum walk, enhanced to incorporate a multi-agent decision-making process, rendering it suitable for modeling financial markets. The study provides theoretical descriptions and empirical investigations of the multi-SSQW algorithm to demonstrate its promising capabilities in probability distribution simulation and financial market modeling. Harnessing the advantages of quantum computation, the multi-SSQW models complex financial distributions and scenarios with high accuracy, providing valuable insights and mechanisms for financial analysis and decision-making. The multi-SSQW's key benefits include its modeling flexibility, stable convergence, and instantaneous computation. These advantages underscore its rapid modeling and prediction potential in dynamic financial markets.

A review on the questions of spin and spin quantum correlations in the relativistic regime

description: The majority of current understanding of the quantum correlations is in the field of non-relativistic quantum mechanics. To develop quantum information and computation tasks fully, one must inevitably take into account the relativistic effects. In this regard, the spin is one of the central tools. For this purpose, it is of paramount importance to understand and characterize fully the theory of spin in relativistic quantum information theory where the spin states act as qubit. This area is still far from being resolved. As a result, this article will explore the recent studies of the concepts of the spin and spin quantum correlations in inertial frames and some apparent paradoxes regarding this concept. We will mainly focus on the problem of characterizing the spin, reduced spin density matrices and spin quantum correlations in inertial reference frames and the apparent paradoxes involved therein. Another important aspect is the use of tools of quantum field theory to extend several concepts in non-relativistic domain to relativistic one. In this regard, we analyze the development of the theory of relativistic secret sharing and a correlation measure namely the entanglement of purification.

description: Most photocatalytic and photovoltaic devices operate under broadband, constant illumination. Electron and hole dynamics in these devices, however, are usually measured using ultrafast pulsed lasers in a narrow wavelength range. In this work, we prove that steady-state, photomodulated X-ray spectra from a non-time-resolved synchrotron beamline can be used to estimate electron and hole distributions. A set of plasmonic metal core-shell nanoparticles is designed to systematically isolate photothermal, hot electron, and thermalized electron-hole pairs in a TiO2 shell. Steady-state changes in the Ti L2,3 edge are measured with and without continuous-wave illumination of the nanoparticle's localized surface plasmon resonance. Ab initio excited-state X-ray theory developed for transient X-ray measurements is then applied to model the experimental spectra in an attempt to extract the resultant steady-state carrier distributions. The results suggest that, within error, the quasi-equilibrium carrier distribution can be determined even from relatively noisy data with mixed excited-state phenomena.

description: Cross-domain Sequential Recommendation (CSR) which leverages user sequence data from multiple domains has received extensive attention in recent years. However, the existing CSR methods require sharing origin user data across domains, which violates the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Thus, it is necessary to combine federated learning (FL) and CSR to fully utilize knowledge from different domains while preserving data privacy. Nonetheless, the sequence feature heterogeneity across different domains significantly impacts the overall performance of FL. In this paper, we propose FedDCSR, a novel federated cross-domain sequential recommendation framework via disentangled representation learning. Specifically, to address the sequence feature heterogeneity across domains, we introduce an approach called inter-intra domain sequence representation disentanglement (SRD) to disentangle the user sequence features into domain-shared and domain-exclusive features. In addition, we design an intra domain contrastive infomax (CIM) strategy to learn richer domain-exclusive features of users by performing data augmentation on user sequences. Extensive experiments on three real-world scenarios demonstrate that FedDCSR achieves significant improvements over existing baselines.

description: In single unit-cell FeSe grown on SrTiO3, the superconductivity transition temperature features a significant enhancement. Local phonon modes at the interface associated with electron-phonon coupling may play an important role in the interface-induced enhancement. However, such phonon modes have eluded direct experimental observations. Indeed, the complicated atomic structure of the interface brings challenges to obtain the accurate structure-phonon relation knowledge from either experiment or theory, thus hindering our understanding of the enhancement mechanism. Here, we achieve direct characterizations of atomic structure and phonon modes at the FeSe/SrTiO3 interface with atomically resolved imaging and electron energy loss spectroscopy in a scanning transmission electron microscope. We find several phonon modes highly localized (~1.3 nm) at the unique double layer Ti-O termination at the interface, one of which (~ 83 meV) engages in strong interactions with the electrons in FeSe based on ab initio calculations. The electron-phonon coupling strength for such a localized interface phonon with short-range interactions is comparable to that of Fuchs-Kliewer (FK) phonon mode with long-rang interactions. Thus, our atomic-scale study provides new insights into understanding the origin of superconductivity enhancement at the FeSe/SrTiO3 interface.

description: Jamming is ubiquitous in disordered systems, but the critical behavior of jammed solids subjected to active forces or thermal fluctuations remains elusive. In particular, while passive athermal jamming remains mean-field-like in two and three dimensions, diverse active matter systems exhibit anomalous scaling behavior in all physical dimensions. It is therefore natural to ask whether activity leads to anomalous scaling in jammed systems. Here, we use numerical and analytical methods to study systems of active, soft, frictionless spheres in two dimensions, and elucidate the universal scaling behavior that relates the excess coordination, active forces or temperature, and pressure close to the athermal jammed point. We show that active forces and thermal effects around the critical jammed state can again be captured by a mean-field picture, thus highlighting the distinct and crucial role of amorphous structure in active matter systems.

description: Pathways for Advancing Careers and Education (PACE) is a 10-year evaluation of nine promising career pathways strategies that aim to increase employment and self-sufficiency among low-income, low-skilled adults and youth. The study, funded by the Administration for Children and Families in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the first rigorous evaluation of career pathways strategies nationwide. PACE utilizes an experimental study design to assess the impact of the nine programs on educational attainment, employment and earnings, and other outcomes. Eligible applicants at each of the nine programs are assigned at random to either a treatment group that can access program services or a control group that cannot, but that can access other services in the community. Random assignment ensures that the characteristics of the two groups have no systematic differences at baseline and thus makes it possible to estimate impacts without bias by comparing average outcomes for treatment and control group members over time. PACE includes an implementation study that will describe and document the design and operations of each of the nine PACE programs. The implementation study also provides contextual information for understanding and interpreting the impact estimates and findings on implementation experiences can guide future program designs and implementations. The impact study will measure differences between the treatment and control group members on educational outcomes (e.g., persistence in education, receipt of certificates and degrees) and employment- and earnings-related outcomes. The PACE team will analyze and report findings for each program separately. The rationale for separate studies is that, although all nine programs utilize basic building blocks in career pathways, they vary on a substantial number of fundamental design features, including eligibility criteria and target populations; services provided; goals for participants; and timeframes for expecting goals to be achieved. This registration contains the analysis plan for the nine-year follow-up.

description: In the present work, we report the effect of solvent content on the β-phase fraction in PVDF (poly(vinylidene fluoride)) films synthesized by the facile wet chemical route using DMF (N,N-Dimethylformamide) as the solvent. The amount of PVDF powder was kept fixed while the amount of DMF was varied. X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed the transformation of the α-phase in the PVDF powder to β-phase in the synthesized PVDF films, which was further confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Deconvolution of the XRD profiles of the films showed the increase of the β-phase content (viz. βα ratio) with initial increase in the DMF volume. However, a surprising and previously unreported result emerged, i.e. the saturation of the β-phase beyond a certain volume of the solvent. The plausible mechanism for the formation and further saturation of the β-phase in the PVDF films is discussed.

description: Fusion reactivity represents the integration of fusion cross-sections and the velocity distributions of two reactants. In this study, we investigate the upper bound of fusion reactivity for a non-thermal reactant coexisting with a thermal Maxwellian background reactant while maintaining a constant total energy. Our optimization approach involves fine-tuning the velocity distribution of the non-thermal reactant. We employ both Lagrange multiplier and Monte Carlo methods to analyze Deuterium-Tritium (D-T) and Proton-Boron11 (p-B11) fusion scenarios. Our findings demonstrate that, within the relevant range of fusion energy, the maximum fusion reactivity can often surpass that of the conventional Maxwellian-Maxwellian reactants case by a substantial margin, ranging from 50\% to 300\%. These enhancements are accompanied by distinctive distribution functions for the non-thermal reactant, characterized by one or multiple beams. These results not only establish an upper limit for fusion reactivity but also provide valuable insights into augmenting fusion reactivity through non-thermal fusion, which holds particular significance in the realm of fusion energy research.

description: In 2010, the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services awarded the first round of five-year grants for the Health Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG 1.0) Program to 32 organizations in 23 states, including five tribal organizations. The purpose of the HPOG Program is to provide education, training, and supportive services to Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) recipients and other low-income individuals for occupations in the healthcare field that pay well and are expected to either experience labor shortages or be in high demand.

The HPOG Impact Study includes the 20 grantees that were not otherwise collecting individual-level data as part of another study funded by ACF's HPOG Research and Evaluation Portfolio, plus three additional grantees that were included in ACF's Pathways for Advancing Careers and Education (PACE) Evaluation.

The HPOG objectives stem from the career pathways framework of postesecondary education, designed to address the challenge of preparing nontraditional student populations who vary in their readiness for training or employment. The programs are intended to address two pervasive problems: the increasing shortfall in the supply of qualified healthcare professionals in the face of expanding demand, and the increasing requirements for a postsecondary education to secure a job with a living wage for families.

To evaluate HPOG, the study randomized eligible applicants to the 42 local HPOG programs into a control group, which had access to existing education, training, and support services in the community, or into a treatment group, which had access to an HPOG program. This registration contains the analysis plan for the nine-year follow-up.

description: The brain's remarkable and efficient information processing capability is driving research into brain-inspired (neuromorphic) computing paradigms. Artificial aqueous ion channels are emerging as an exciting platform for neuromorphic computing, representing a departure from conventional solid-state devices by directly mimicking the brain's fluidic ion transport. Supported by a quantitative theoretical model, we present easy to fabricate tapered microchannels that embed a conducting network of fluidic nanochannels between a colloidal structure. Due to transient salt concentration polarisation our devices are volatile memristors (memory resistors) that are remarkably stable. The voltage-driven net salt flux and accumulation, that underpin the concentration polarisation, surprisingly combine into a diffusionlike quadratic dependence of the memory retention time on the channel length, allowing channel design for a specific timescale. We implement our device as a synaptic element for neuromorphic reservoir computing. Individual channels distinguish various time series, that together represent (handwritten) numbers, for subsequent in-silico classification with a simple readout function. Our results represent a significant step towards realising the promise of fluidic ion channels as a platform to emulate the rich aqueous dynamics of the brain.
