description: Background. In the rapidly evolving field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), recent developments have significantly enhanced AIs’ ability to interact with their environment, from accepting multi-modal inputs to solving previously unencountered problems in an iterative fashion. AI’s increasing capacity for human-like communication also has surpassed the capabilities set out by the now-obsolete Turing Test. At the same time, the recognition of sentience in various invertebrate marine creatures, like lobsters and octopuses, challenges the traditional, human-centric views of cognition. The juxtaposition of expanded advancements in AI with the evolving understanding of biological cognition highlights the need to redefine the concepts of sentience, self-awareness, self-cognition, and, ultimately, sapience in artificial entities. The lack of a clear definition of sentience leads to discretion, ambiguity, and delays in decision-making, contradicts the precautionary principle, and affects the treatment and well-being of sentient entities. 

Methods. This paper identifies shared foundations of multiple cognition theories and assesses these foundations against the constraints of two contrasting examples of sentient beings, a lobster and a blind paraplegic person, to outline the minimal sentience criteria. The modular architecture built around an existing LLM model is designed, implemented, and tested against the defined criteria. 

Results. The initial analysis synthesizes cognitive criteria and identifies two convergence points defining the entity’s sentience: its metacognitive capacity, i.e., its ability to differentiate between itself and the environment, and its capability for adaptation to the environment. These provide a straightforward framework for evaluating sentience in biological and non-biological entities, effectively narrowing the gap in how sentience can be studied across these divergent categories. A set of tests was developed to evaluate information-based entities' metacognition and adaptation capabilities, offering insight into such entities’ perception and decision-making processes and opening a path to the development of AI psychology, which will be required for the ethical and responsible development of future generations of self-cognizant artificial entities in the likes of Artificial General Intelligence or Artificial Sapience.

The successful implementation of the designed architecture resulted in the creation of the first reported Artificial Sentience (AS) entity.

description: A detailed study of the mean-field solution of Langevin equations with multiplicative noise is presented. Three different regimes depending on noise-intensity (weak, intermediate, and strong-noise) are identified by performing a self-consistent calculation on a fully connected lattice. The most interesting, strong-noise, regime is shown to be intrinsically unstable with respect to the inclusion of fluctuations, as a Ginzburg criterion shows. On the other hand, the self-consistent approach is shown to be valid only in the thermodynamic limit, while for finite systems the critical behavior is found to be different. In this last case, the self-consistent field itself is broadly distributed rather than taking a well defined mean value; its fluctuations, described by an effective zero-dimensional multiplicative noise equation, govern the critical properties. These findings are obtained analytically for a fully connected graph, and verified numerically both on fully connected graphs and on random regular networks. The results presented here shed some doubt on what is the validity and meaning of a standard mean-field approach in systems with multiplicative noise in finite dimensions, where each site does not see an infinite number of neighbors, but a finite one. The implications of all this on the existence of a finite upper critical dimension for multiplicative noise and Kardar-Parisi-Zhang problems are briefly discussed.

description: The paper contains some new results and a review of recent achievements, concerning the multisupport solutions to matrix models. In the leading order of the 't Hooft expansion for matrix integral, these solutions are described by quasiclassical or generalized Whitham hierarchies and are directly related to the superpotentials of four-dimensional N=1 SUSY gauge theories. We study the derivatives of tau-functions for these solutions, associated with the families of Riemann surfaces (with possible double points), and relations for these derivatives imposed by complex geometry, including the WDVV equations. We also find the free energy in subleading order of the 't Hooft expansion and prove that it satisfies certain determinant relations.

description: Audio information retrieval is a difficult problem due to the highly unstructured nature of the data. A general labeling system for identifying audio patterns could unite research efforts in the field. This paper introduces 42 distinct labels, the “noisemes”, developed for the manual annotation of noise segments as they occur in audio streams of consumer captured and semiprofessionally produced videos. The labels describe distinct noise units based on audio concepts, independent of visual concepts as much as possible. We trained a recognition system using 5.6 hours of manually labeled data, and present recognition results

description: We have carried out a spatio-kinematic study of the outflow from the classical T Tauri star DG Tau using the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). A series of seven spatially offset long-slit spectra spaced by 0.07'' were obtained along the axis of the outflow to build up a 3-D intensity-velocity ``cube'' in various forbidden emission lines (FELs) and Ha. Here we present high spatial resolution synthetic line images close to the star in distinct radial velocity intervals (from ~ +50 km/s to ~ -450 km/s in four bins, each ~ 125 km/s wide). The lowest velocity emission is also examined in finer detail (from +60 km/s to -70 km/s in five bins ~ 25 km/s wide). We have found that the highest velocity and most highly collimated component, i.e. the jet, can be traced from DG Tau to a distance D ~ 0.7''. The jet is on the axis of a pear-shaped limb-brightened bubble which extends between 0.4'' and 1.5'' from the source and which we interpret as a bow shock. Other condensations are seen close to the star indicating ongoing temporal variations in the flow. The low-velocity component of the outflow is found to be spatially wide close to the source (~ 0.2'' at D=0.2''), in contrast to the high velocity jet (width

description: We describe a system for recommending news articles, called NewsPer, which learns news-reading preferences of its users and suggests recently published articles that may be of interest to specific readers based on their interest profiles. The underlying algorithm is based on representing articles by bags of words and named entities, and applying support vector machines to this representation. We present this algorithm and give initial empirical results. We also discuss broader issues in the news personalization and the challenges of performance evaluation based on historical data.

description: Crowdsourcing has been successfully applied in many domains including astronomy, cryptography and biology. In order to test its potential for useful application in a Smart Grid context, this paper investigates the extent to which a crowd can contribute predictive hypotheses to a model of residential electric energy consumption. In this experiment, the crowd generated hypotheses about factors that make one home different from another in terms of monthly energy usage. To implement this concept, we deployed a web-based system within which 627 residential electricity customers posed 632 questions that they thought predictive of energy usage. While this occurred, the same group provided 110,573 answers to these questions as they accumulated. Thus users both suggested the hypotheses that drive a predictive model and provided the data upon which the model is built. We used the resulting question and answer data to build a predictive model of monthly electric energy consumption, using random forest regression. Because of the sparse nature of the answer data, careful statistical work was needed to ensure that these models are valid. The results indicate that the crowd can generate useful hypotheses, despite the sparse nature of the dataset.

description: The effect of the inclusion of ground state correlations into the QRPA equation of motion for the two-neutrino double beta ($ββ_{2ν}$) decay is carefully analyzed. The resulting model, called renormalized QRPA (RQRPA), does not collapse near the physical value of the nuclear force strength in the particle-particle channel, as happens with the ordinary QRPA. Still, the $ββ_{2ν}$ transition amplitude is only slightly less sensitive on this parameter in the RQRPA than that in the plain QRPA. It is argued that this fact reveals once more that the characteristic behaviour of the $ββ_{2ν}$ transition amplitude within the QRPA is not an artifact of the model, but a consequence of the partial restoration of the spin-isospin $SU(4)$ symmetry. It is shown that the price paid for bypassing the collapse in the RQRPA is the violation of the Ikeda sum rule.

description: We consider a general linear reaction-diffusion system in three dimensions and time, containing diffusion (local interaction), jumps (nonlocal interaction) and memory effects. We prove a maximum principle, and positivity of the solution, and investigate its asymptotic behavior. Moreover, we give an explicite expression of the limit of the solution for large times. In order to obtain these results we use the following method: We construct a Riemannian manifold with complicated microstructure depending on a small parameter. We study the asymptotic behavior of the solution of a simple diffusion equation on this manifold as the small parameter tends to zero. It turns out that the homogenized system coincides with the original reaction-diffusion system what allows us to investigate its properties.

description: We consider the unsupervised alignment of the full text of a book with a human-written summary. This presents challenges not seen in other text alignment problems, including a disparity in length and, consequent to this, a violation of the expectation that individual words and phrases should align, since large passages and chapters can be distilled into a single summary phrase. We present two new methods, based on hidden Markov models, specifically targeted to this problem, and demonstrate gains on an extractive book summarization task. While there is still much room for improvement, unsupervised alignment holds intrinsic value in offering insight into what features of a book are deemed worthy of summarization.

description: DataCite is pleased to announce the introduction of version 4.5 of its Metadata Schema, and provide updates on the upcoming deprecation of Schema 3.

Schema 4.5 represents a significant advancement in increasing the discoverability and usability of research outputs. This latest minor release, created by the Metadata Working Group in partnership with DataCite staff, incorporates key additions and upgrades to Schema 4 that enable repositories to generate richer and more precise metadata, including support for instruments and pre-registrations, the addition of publisher identities, and substantial definition updates for greater clarity.

As DataCite prepares to deprecate Schema 3 on January 1, 2025, our focus is now on assisting current Schema 3 users in their transition to the more advanced Schema 4, well ahead of the 2025 deadline. This step is crucial in ensuring that all users benefit from the enhanced features and capabilities of the latest schema.

In their presentation, Kelly Stathis and Sara El-Gebali share an overview of the new Schema 4.5 features and provide guidance on how Schema 3 users can transition to Schema 4.
Intrinsically shunted Josephson junctions for electronics applications

description: Conventional Josephson metal-insulator-metal devices are inherently underdamped and exhibit hysteretic current-voltage response due to a very high subgap resistance compared to that in the normal state. At the same time, overdamped junctions with single-valued characteristics are needed for most superconducting digital applications. The usual way to overcome the hysteretic behavior is to place an external low-resistance normal-metal shunt in parallel with each junction. Unfortunately, such solution results in a considerable complication of the circuitry design and introduces parasitic inductance through the junction. This paper provides a concise overview of some generic approaches that have been proposed in order to realize internal shunting in Josephson heterostructures with a barrier that itself contains the desired resistive component. The main attention is paid to self-shunted devices with local weak-link transmission probabilities so strongly disordered in the interface plane that transmission probabilities are tiny for the main part of the transition region between two superconducting electrodes, while a small part of the interface is well transparent. We consider the possibility of realizing a universal bimodal distribution function and emphasize advantages of such junctions that can be considered as a new class of self-shunted Josephson devices promising for practical applications in superconducting electronics operating at 4.2 K.

description: For resource rich languages, recent works have shown Neural Network based Language Models (NNLMs) to be an effective modeling technique for Automatic Speech Recognition, out performing standard n-gram language models (LMs). For low resource languages, however, the performance of NNLMs has not been well explored. In this paper, we evaluate the effectiveness of NNLMs for low resource languages and show that NNLMs learn better word probabilities than state-of-theart n-gram models even when the amount of training data is severely limited. We show that interpolated NNLMs obtain a lower WER than standard n-gram models, no mater the amount of training data. Additionally, we observe that with small amounts of data (approx. 100k training tokens), feed-forward NNLMs obtain lower perplexity than recurrent NNLMs, while for the larger data condition (500k-1M training tokens), recurrent NNLMs can obtain lower perplexity than feed-forward models.

First results on the measurements of the proton beam polarization performed at internal target at Nuclotron are reported. The polarization of the proton beam provided by new source of polarized ions has been measured at 500 MeV using quasielastic proton-proton scattering and DSS setup at internal target. The obtained value of the vertical polarization of ~35 % is consistent with the calculations taking into account the current magnetic optics of the Nuclotron injection line.

description: Speaker dependent (SD) ASR systems have significantly lower word error rates (WER) compared to speaker independent (SI) systems. However, SD systems require sufficient training data from the target speaker, which is impractical to collect in a short time. We present a technique for training SD models using just few minutes of speaker's data. We compensate for the lack of adequate speaker-specific data by selecting neighbours from a database of existing speakers who are acoustically close to the target speaker. These neighbours provide ample training data, which is used to adapt the SI model to obtain an initial SD model for the new speaker with significantly lower WER. We evaluate various neighbour selection algorithms on a large-scale medical transcription task and report significant reduction in WER using only 5 mins of speaker-specific data. We conduct a detailed analysis of various factors such as gender and accent in the neighbour selection. Finally, we study neighbour selection and adaptation in the context of discriminative objective functions.

description: In this work we deal with a scalar spectral mixed boundary value problem in a spacial junction of thin rods and a plate. Constructing asymptotics of the eigenvalues, we employ two equipollent asymptotic models posed on the skeleton of the junction, that is, a hybrid domain. We, first, use the technique of self-adjoint extensions and, second, we impose algebraic conditions at the junction points in order to compile a problem in a function space with detached asymptotics. The latter problem is involved into a symmetric generalized Green formula and, therefore, admits the variational formulation. In comparison with a primordial asymptotic procedure, these two models provide much better proximity of the spectra of the problems in the spacial junction and in its skeleton. However, they exhibit the negative spectrum of finite multiplicity and for these "parasitic" eigenvalues we derive asymptotic formulas to demonstrate that they do not belong to the service area of the developed asymptotic models.

description: The vast increase in online expressions of consumer sentiment offers a powerful new tool for studying consumer attitudes. To explore the narratives that consumers use to frame positive and negative sentiment online, we computationally investigate linguistic structure in 900,000 online restaurant reviews. Negative reviews, especially in expensive restaurants, were more likely to use features previously associated with narratives of trauma: negative emotional vocabulary, a focus on the past actions of third person actors such as waiters, and increased use of references to “we” and “us”, suggesting that negative reviews function as a means of coping with service–related trauma. Positive reviews also employed framings contextualized by expense: inexpensive restaurant reviews use the language of addiction to frame the reviewer as craving fatty or starchy foods. Positive reviews of expensive restaurants were long narratives using long words emphasizing the reviewer’s linguistic capital and also focusing on sensory pleasure. Our results demonstrate that portraying the self, whether as well–educated, as a victim, or even as addicted to chocolate, is a key function of reviews and suggests the important role of online reviews in exploring social psychological variables.

description: We compute the correlation of the net baryon number with the electric charge ($χ_{BQ}$) for an interacting hadron gas using the S-matrix formulation of statistical mechanics. The observable $χ_{BQ}$ is particularly sensitive to the details of the pion-nucleon interaction, which are consistently incorporated in the current scheme via the empirical scattering phase shifts. Comparing to the recent lattice QCD studies in the $(2+1)$-flavor system, we find that the natural implementation of interactions and the proper treatment of resonances in the S-matrix approach lead to an improved description of the lattice data over that obtained in the hadron resonance gas model.

description: In this paper the investigation of the dynamical processes of liquid alkali metals is executed by analyzing the time scales of relaxation processes in liquids. The obtained theoretical dynamic structure factor $S(k,ω)$ for the case of liquid lithium is found to be in excellent agreement with the recently received inelastic X-ray scattering data. The comparison and interrelation with other theories are given here. Finally, an important part of this paper is the confirmation of the scale uniformity of the dynamic processes in liquid alkali metals predicted by some previous molecular dynamic simulation studies.

description: Topological photonics provides a robust framework for strategically controlling light confinement and propagation dynamics. By exploiting the marriage between this notion and symmetry-constrained mode competition in an active setting, we experimentally demonstrate, for the first time, a hybrid silicon microlaser structure supporting a topologically protected zero-mode lasing. This mode is distributed over an integrated array of optical microrings, each supporting multiple modes that compete for gain. However, the mode competition is diminished in favor of a pre-defined topological state, which reflects the charge conjugation symmetry induced by the gain profile. Robust single-mode operation in the desired state prevails even with intentionally introduced perturbations. The demonstrated microlaser is hybrid-implemented on a silicon-on-insulator substrate, thereby readily suitable for integrated silicon photonics with potential applications in optical communication and computing.

Coupled spin-charge dynamics in helical Fermi liquids beyond the random phase approximation

description: We consider a helical system of fermions with a generic spin (or pseudospin) orbit coupling. Using the equation of motion approach for the single-particle distribution functions, and a mean-field decoupling of the higher order distribution functions, we find a closed form for the charge and spin density fluctuations in terms of the charge and spin density linear response functions. Approximating the nonlocal exchange term with a Hubbard-like local-field factor, we obtain coupled spin and charge density response matrix beyond the random phase approximation, whose poles give the dispersion of four collective spin-charge modes. We apply our generic technique to the well-explored two-dimensional system with Rashba spin-orbit coupling and illustrate how it gives results for the collective modes, Drude weight, and spin-Hall conductivity which are in very good agreement with the results obtained from other more sophisticated approaches.

description: We investigate the generation mechanisms for ultrawide spectra in nonlinear optical fibers. Soliton fission and modulation instability represent fundamental mechanisms for the generation process. The primary origin of the spectral broadening changes with the pump-pulse duration. Soliton fission dominates for low input power and short pulses. Its efficiency for supercontinuum generation and especially the extend to the blue side can be increased by proper design of the dispersion profile. The modulation instability has a strong impact for high input powers and greatly enhances the generation process, but leads to a degradation of the coherence properties. Also for short pulses with durations of 60 fs the modulation instability is present and can hardly be suppressed. The interplay between these two effects leads to various characteristics of the resulting spectra, which are modified by to the relative impact of the modulation instability.

description: Empirical reports point to the increasing weaponisation of the ‘fake news’ label – or unwarranted fake news accusations – by politicians. They see this as a discursive tool used by politicians to deflect critical reporting, delegitimise media outlets and achieve other political ends, suggesting that abuse of such deflections can benefit these political actors. Theoretically, ‘fake news’ deflections in the face of emergent derogatory information may benefit politicians by allowing them to maintain the support and trust of citizens as well as reduce belief in the accusation – as long as the deceit is not exposed. To evaluate this hypothesis, a survey experiment (n = 1,420) was conducted, varying how British PM Boris Johnson responded to two separate damaging accusations. This enabled the assessment of the impact of the ensuing fake news deflections on UK citizens’ belief in the accusation and also their opinion of the politician. Results show that employing fake news deflections reduces the respondents’ belief in the accusation, increases support for the politician, and generally increases perceptions of his truthfulness. However, when the deflection is revealed to be false and the politician’s deceit is exposed, citizens will revise their belief in the story, as well as punish the politician by significantly reducing their perception of his truthfulness and their support for him. Thus, while fake news deflections of emergent derogatory information are likely to reduce a citizen’s belief in these allegations and muster political support, rampant abuse of fake news deflections may ultimately erode citizens’ trust and support for the politician.

description: In this review article we discuss different techniques to solve numerically the time-dependent Schrödinger equation on unbounded domains. We present in detail the most recent approaches and describe briefly alternative ideas pointing out the relations between these works. We conclude with several numerical examples from different application areas to compare the presented techniques. We mainly focus on the one-dimensional problem but also touch upon the situation in two space dimensions and the cubic nonlinear case.
