a prototype rocket that will test various landing technologies, on a launch pad in Sweden.
Low-altitude hop tests,

Unleashing the Potential of Multimodal LLMs for Zero-Shot Spatio-Temporal Video Grounding
Spatio-temporal video grounding (STVG) aims at localizing the spatio-temporal tube of a video, as specified by the input text query. In this paper, we utilize multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to explore a zero-shot solution in STVG. We reveal two key insights about MLLMs: (1) MLLMs tend to dynamically assign special tokens, referred to as \textit{grounding tokens}, for grounding the text query; and (2) MLLMs often suffer from suboptimal grounding due to the inability to fully integrate …

Relativistic Atomic Effects of Dark Matter Electron Scattering
The dark matter scattering with atomic bound electrons is a crucial avenue for exploring the sub-GeV mass range. If not handled properly, even negative values can arise in the scattering matrix element squared or equivalently the differential cross section in extreme cases. Starting from quantum field theory, we establish a theoretically consistent formalism to account for the atomic effects. Especially, we investigate the difference between the non-relativistic and relativistic calculations to…

Finding distributions of statistics in pattern-avoiding permutations has attracted significant attention in the literature.

Meanwhile, partially ordered patterns (POPs) have also been extensively studied. Notably, so-called flat POPs played a key role, via…

Mitigating the Impact of Location Uncertainty on Radio Map-Based Predictive Rate Selection via Noisy-Input Gaussian Process
This paper proposes a predictive rate-selection framework based on Gaussian process (GP)-based radio map construction that is robust to location uncertainty. Radio maps are a promising tool for improving communication efficiency in 6G networks. Although they enable the design of location-based maximum transmission rates by exploiting statistical channel information, existing discussions often assume perfect (i.e., noiseless) location information during channel sensing.

To address this, architects must focus on maximizing compute utilization, without sacrificing flexibility.

Resonantly enhanced photoemission from topological surface states in MnBi$_6$Te$_{10}$
The dispersion of topological surface bands in MnBi$_2$Te$_4$-based magnetic topological insulator heterostructures is strongly affected by band hybridization and is spatially inhomogeneous due to varying surface layer terminations on microscopic length scales. Here, we apply micro-focused angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with tunable photon energy from 18 to 30 eV to distinguish bulk valence and conduction bands from surface bands on the three surface terminations of MnBi$_6$Te$_10$. …

The behaviors of these quantum correlations differ from those in elementary particle-antiparticle systems such as the top …

A Geometric View on Crossing-Symmetric Dispersion Relations
We introduce a general framework for constructing dispersion relations using crossing-symmetric variables, leading to infinitely many distinct representations of the 2-to-2 scattering amplitude of identical scalars. Classical formulations such as the Auberson-Khuri crossing-symmetric dispersion relations (CSDRs), the Mahoux-Roy-Wanders relations, and the local CSDR, as well as fixed-t dispersion relations emerge as special cases. Within this setting we re-derive the null constraints from a geom…

Conditional Nearest Level Modulation for Improved Switching Dynamics in Asymmetric Multilevel Converters
Modular multilevel converters have promising applications in clean energy, electric vehicles, and biomedical instrumentation, but need many modules to achieve fine output granularity, particularly of the voltage. Asymmetric multilevel circuits introduce differences in module voltages so that the quantity of output levels grows exponentially with the number of modules. Nearest-level modulation (NLM) is preferred over carrier-based methods in asymmetric circuits for its simplicity. However, the l…

Wan-Animate: Unified Character Animation and Replacement with Holistic Replication
We introduce Wan-Animate, a unified framework for character animation and replacement. Given a character image and a reference video, Wan-Animate can animate the character by precisely replicating the expressions and movements of the character in the video to generate high-fidelity character videos. Alternatively, it can integrate the animated character into the reference video to replace the original character, replicating the scene's lighting and color tone to achieve seamless environmental i…

NNLO QCD corrections to $γγ\rightarrow Q\bar{Q}$ from Local Unitarity combined with Coulomb resummation and NLO EW effects
The Local Unitarity formalism provides a constructive, integrand-level realisation of the Kinoshita-Lee-Nauenberg theorem, by combining loop and phase-space integrals appearing in scattering cross-sections in such a way that their final-state infrared singularities cancel before integration. Supplemented with localised ultraviolet renormalisation, it enables the direct Monte Carlo integration of (differential) cross sections at arbitrary perturbative order in four-dimensional spacetime. In this…

Noise-Level Diffusion Guidance: Well Begun is Half Done
Diffusion models have achieved state-of-the-art image generation. However, the random Gaussian noise used to start the diffusion process influences the final output, causing variations in image quality and prompt adherence. Existing noise-level optimization approaches generally rely on extra dataset construction, additional networks, or backpropagation-based optimization, limiting their practicality. In this paper, we propose Noise Level Guidance (NLG), a simple, efficient, and general noise-le…

Coherently enhanced decoherence and cloud substructure of atom interferometers
We study how coherent scattering of a background gas off an atom (or other matter) interferometer can lead to enhanced signals from phase shifts and contrast loss. We focus on the inclusion of realistic features of atom interferometers such as finite temperature, cloud substructure, and time-dependent cloud radii. The inclusion of these effects, extending beyond the previously considered point-like cloud approximation, naturally allow us to study the smooth transition between the coherent and i…

Distractor-Aware Memory-Based Visual Object Tracking
Recent emergence of memory-based video segmentation methods such as SAM2 has led to models with excellent performance in segmentation tasks, achieving leading results on numerous benchmarks. However, these modes are not fully adjusted for visual object tracking, where distractors (i.e., objects visually similar to the target) pose a key challenge. In this paper we propose a distractor-aware drop-in memory module and introspection-based management method for SAM2, leading to DAM4SAM. Our design …

Diving into Mitigating Hallucinations from a Vision Perspective for Large Vision-Language Models
Object hallucination in Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) significantly impedes their real-world applicability. As the primary component for accurately interpreting visual information, the choice of visual encoder is pivotal. We hypothesize that the diverse training paradigms employed by different visual encoders instill them with distinct inductive biases, which leads to their diverse hallucination performances. Existing benchmarks typically focus on coarse-grained hallucination detection a…

ANATAR: AN Automated Tool for higher-order Amplitude geneRation
We present a new Mathematica package that provides a platform to perform multi-loop computations. ANATAR integrates several existing tools designed for higher-order computations. In particular, it uses QGRAF to generate Feynman diagrams and relies on FORM to perform the Dirac and colour algebras. This makes it very efficient without compromising user-friendliness and flexibility. In addition, ANATAR is equipped with functionalities to manipulate the generated amplitudes and to extract scalar fo…

SWA-PF: Semantic-Weighted Adaptive Particle Filter for Memory-Efficient 4-DoF UAV Localization in GNSS-Denied Environments
Vision-based Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) localization systems have been extensively investigated for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-denied environments. However, existing retrieval-based approaches face limitations in dataset availability and persistent challenges including suboptimal real-time performance, environmental sensitivity, and limited generalization capability, particularly in dynamic or temporally varying environments. To overcome these limitations, we present a large-s…
