MoDiT: Learning Highly Consistent 3D Motion Coefficients with Diffusion Transformer for Talking Head Generation
Audio-driven talking head generation is critical for applications such as virtual assistants, video games, and films, where natural lip movements are essential. Despite progress in this field, challenges remain in producing both consistent and realistic facial animations. Existing methods, often based on GANs or UNet-based diffusion models, face three major limitations: (i) temporal jittering caused by weak temporal constraints, resulting in frame inconsistencies; (ii) identity drift due to ins…

Colibri: A new tool for fast-flying PDF fits
We present Colibri, an open-source Python code that provides a general and flexible tool for PDF fits. The code is built so that users can implement their own PDF model, and use the built-in functionalities of Colibri for a fast computation of observables. It grants easy access to experimental data, several error propagation methodologies, including the Hessian method, the Monte Carlo replica method, and an efficient numerical Bayesian sampling algorithm. To demonstrate the capabilities of Coli…

Existence of weak solution of 3D ferrohydrodynamic equations with transport noise: Bloch-Torrey regularisation
In this article, we consider a stochastic ferrohydrodynamic system which describes the Bloch-Torrey regularization of the motion of an electrically conducting ferrofluids driven by transport noise filling a 3D bounded domain with a smooth boundary. We prove the global existence of a probabilistic weak solution of the stochastic system by making use of the combination of Galerkin method and compactness method. The system under study is basically a coupling of the Navier-Stokes equations with int…

A Time-certified Predictor-corrector IPM Algorithm for Box-QP
Minimizing both the worst-case and average execution times of optimization algorithms is equally critical in real-time optimization-based control applications such as model predictive control (MPC). Most MPC solvers have to trade off between certified worst-case and practical average execution times. For example, our previous work [1] proposed a full-Newton path-following interior-point method (IPM) with data-independent, simple-calculated, and exact $O(\sqrt{n})$ iteration complexity, but not …

Bias and Coverage Properties of the WENDy-IRLS Algorithm
The Weak form Estimation of Nonlinear Dynamics (WENDy) method is a recently proposed class of parameter estimation algorithms that exhibits notable noise robustness and computational efficiency. This work examines the coverage and bias properties of the original WENDy-IRLS algorithm's parameter and state estimators in the context of the following differential equations: Logistic, Lotka-Volterra, FitzHugh-Nagumo, Hindmarsh-Rose, and a Protein Transduction Benchmark. The estimators' performance w…

I haven’t added an example of how you implement migrations with Kitten’s¹ built-in JSDB database² yet but here’s one that I just used when renaming a field (property) in a table (JavaScript object) from “account” to “data” that illustrates the general granular approach you should take within persisted instances of JavaScript classes.
This is, of course, an advanced use case of the built-in JavaScript database that all Kitten apps have.
Kitten is simple for simple use cases. So ch…

Hybrid MBE Route to Adsorption-Controlled Growth of BaTiO3 Membranes with Robust Polarization Switching
Freestanding ferroelectric membranes are promising for flexible electronics, nonvolatile memory, photonics, and spintronics, but their synthesis is challenged by the need for reproducibility with precise stoichiometric control. Here, we demonstrate the adsorption-controlled growth of single-crystalline, epitaxial BaTiO3 films by hybrid molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on a binary oxide sacrificial layer. Using a simple water-droplet lift-off method, we obtained submillimeter- to millimeter-sized me…

The public deserves better than this mealy-mouthed nonsense.
They deserve reporters who can recognize when they’re witnessing something extraordinary and have the courage to say so clearly.
They deserve news organizations that understand the difference between false balance and actual journalism.

Existence and multiplicity of normalized solutions to a large class of elliptic equations on bounded domains with general boundary conditions
In this paper, by adapting the perturbation method, we study the existence and multiplicity of normalized solutions for the following nonlinear Schrödinger equation $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -Δu = λu + f(u)\quad & \text{in } Ω, \mathcal{B}_{α,ζ,γ}u = 0 & \text{on } \partial Ω, \int_Ω |u|^2\,dx = μ, \end{array} \right. \leqno{(P)^μ_{α,ζ,γ}} $$ where $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^N$ ($N \geq 1$) is a smooth bounded domain, $μ>0$ is prescribed, $λ\in \mat…
