The rapid development of wireless communication has made efficient spectrum assignment a crucial factor in enhancing network performance. As a combinatorial optimization model for channel assignment, the radio labeling is recognized as an NP-hard problem. Therefore, converting the spectrum assignment problem into the radio labeling of...
Infrared and visible image fusion generates all-weather perception-capable images by combining complementary modalities, enhancing environmental awareness for intelligent unmanned systems. Existing methods either focus on pixel-level fusion while overlooking downstream task adaptability or implicitly learn rigid semantics through...
Clustering with bandit feedback refers to the problem of partitioning a set of items, where the clustering algorithm can sequentially query the items to receive noisy observations. The problem is formally posed as the task of partitioning the arms of an N-armed stochastic bandit according to their underlying distributions, grouping...
This paper proposes a novel statistical approach that aims at the identification of valid and useful patterns in handwriting examination via Bayesian modeling. Starting from a sample of characters selected among 13 French native writers, an accurate loop reconstruction can be achieved through Fourier analysis. The contour shape of...
An \emph{affine subtorus} of the compact torus $T=(S^1)^n$ is a translated copy of a Lie subgroup. Given a finite collection $T_1,\ldots, T_k$ of such subtori, and a prime $p$, we describe an explicit chain complex that calculates the group $H_*(T-\bigcup_{i=1}^k T_i,\mathbb{Z}_{(p)})$. %The complex is determined by the integral...
Tracing connections between historical texts is an important part of intertextual research, enabling scholars to reconstruct the virtual library of a writer and identify the sources influencing their creative process. These intertextual links manifest in diverse forms, ranging from direct verbatim quotations to subtle allusions and...
Indirect treatment comparisons (ITCs) are essential in Health Technology Assessment (HTA) when head-to-head clinical trials are absent. A common challenge arises when attempting to compare a treatment with available individual patient data (IPD) against a competitor with only reported aggregate-level data (ALD), particularly when...
Advances in instrumentation and computation have enabled increasingly sophisticated tomographic reconstruction methods. However, existing evaluation practices -- often based on simple phantoms and global image metrics -- are limited in their ability to differentiate among modern high-fidelity reconstructions. A standardized,...
The off-axis triple-vortex scattering process of $e^-e^+\toγγ$ is studied theoretically, in which the positron is in a plane-wave state and the electron and photons are in vortex states. We develop a theoretical formalism for the process, which allows us to study the effects of various vortex parameters and scattering angle. We adopt...
This study investigates the use of computational audio analysis to examine ideological narratives in Nazi propaganda films. Employing a three-step pipeline, speaker diarization, audio transcription and psycholinguistic analysis, it reveals ideological patterns in characters. Despite current issues with speaker diarization, the...
The dual-type qubit scheme is an emerging method to suppress crosstalk errors in scalable trapped-ion quantum computation and quantum network. Here we report a hardware-economic way to control dual-type $^{171}\mathrm{Yb}^+$ qubits using a single $355\,$nm mode-locked pulsed laser. Utilizing its broad frequency comb structure, we...
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used for Islamic question answering, where ungrounded responses may carry serious religious consequences. Yet standard MCQ/MRC-style evaluations (MCQ: Multiple choice questions, MRC: Machine Reading Comprehension) do not capture key real-world failure modes, notably free-form...
Electric vehicles with multiple motors provide a flexibility in meeting the driver torque demand, which calls for minimizing the battery energy consumption through torque allocation. In this paper, we present an approach to this problem based on approximating electric motor losses using higher-order polynomials with specific...
The rapid development of interactive and autonomous AI systems signals our entry into the agentic era. Training and evaluating agents on complex agentic tasks such as software engineering and computer use requires not only efficient model computation but also sophisticated infrastructure capable of coordinating vast agent-environment...
Natural generation allows Large Language Models (LLMs) to produce free-form responses with rich reasoning, yet the lack of structure makes outputs difficult to verify. Conversely, constrained decoding ensures standardized formats but can inadvertently restrict reasoning capabilities by imposing constraints too early in the generation...
Singular learning theory characterizes Bayesian learning as an evolving tradeoff between accuracy and complexity, with transitions between qualitatively different solutions as sample size increases. We extend this theory to reinforcement learning, proving that the concentration of a generalized posterior over policies is governed by...
We study an information-theoretic privacy mechanism design problem, where an agent observes useful data $Y$ that is arbitrarily correlated with sensitive data $X$, and design disclosed data $U$ generated from $Y$ (the agent has no direct access to $X$). We introduce \emph{sparse point-wise privacy leakage}, a worst-case privacy...
Thermodynamic trade-off relations dictate fundamental limits on the performance of thermodynamic tasks through costs such as heat dissipation. Here, we propose a framework called thermodynamic recycling to circumvent these limits in quantum processors by exploiting failure branches of quantum algorithms, which are usually discarded....
We study a critical problem for an operator of mixed order obtained by the superposition of a Laplacian with a fractional Laplacian. The main novelty is that we consider a mixed operator of the form $-Δ- γ(-Δ)^s$, namely we suppose that the fractional Laplacian has the ``wrong sign'' and can be seen as a nonlocal perturbation of the...
We study factoriality and the class groups of locally acyclic cluster algebras. To do so, we introduce a new class of rings called finite Laurent intersection rings (FLIRs), which includes locally acyclic cluster algebras, full-rank upper cluster algebras, and certain generalized upper cluster algebras and Laurent phenomenon algebras....
Fully convolutional networks have become the backbone of modern medical imaging due to their ability to learn multi-scale representations and perform end-to-end inference. Yet their potential for slice-to-volume reconstruction (SVR), the task of jointly estimating 3D anatomy and slice poses from misaligned 2D acquisitions, remains...
Immersive telepresence aims to transform human interaction in AR/VR applications by enabling lifelike full-body holographic representations for enhanced remote collaboration. However, existing systems rely on hardware-intensive multi-camera setups and demand high bandwidth for volumetric streaming, limiting their real-time performance...
We introduce and study a generalized concept of boundedness of a subset of a normed vector space with respect to a cone, which is defined as lower boundedness of the images of the underlying set through all the positive functionals of the cone. We show that this is a weaker notion when compared to other similar ones and we explore...
Vision-language models are increasingly employed as multimodal conversational agents (MCAs) for diverse conversational tasks. Recently, reinforcement learning (RL) has been widely explored for adapting MCAs to various human-AI interaction scenarios. Despite showing great enhancement in generalization performance, fine-tuning MCAs via...
This paper introduces an efficient algorithm based on the Parity-Consistent Decomposition (PCD) method to determine the WD of pre-transformed polar codes. First, to address the bit dependencies introduced by the pre-transformation matrix, we propose an iterative algorithm to construct an \emph{Expanded Information Set}. By expanding...
