A Novel Stabilizer-based Entanglement Distillation Protocol for Qudits
Entanglement distillation, the process of converting weakly entangled states into maximally entangled ones using Local Operations and Classical Communication (LOCC), is pivotal for robust entanglement-assisted quantum information processing in error-prone environments. A construction based on stabilizer codes offers an effective method for designing such protocols. By analytically investigating the effective action of stabilizer protocols for systems of prime dimension $d$, we establish a stand…

Hybrid Disagreement-Diversity Active Learning for Bioacoustic Sound Event Detection
Bioacoustic sound event detection (BioSED) is crucial for biodiversity conservation but faces practical challenges during model development and training: limited amounts of annotated data, sparse events, species diversity, and class imbalance. To address these challenges efficiently with a limited labeling budget, we apply the mismatch-first farthest-traversal (MFFT), an active learning method integrating committee voting disagreement and diversity analysis. We also refine an existing BioSED da…

Critical and Nonpercolating Phases in Bond Percolation on the Song-Havlin-Makse Network
We investigate bond percolation on the Song-Havlin-Makse (SHM) network, a scale-free tree with a tunable degree exponent and dimensionality. Using a generating function approach, we analytically derive the average size and the fractal exponent of the root cluster for deterministic cases. Our analysis reveals that bond percolation on the SHM network remains in a nonpercolating phase for all $p < 1$ when the network is fractal (i.e., finite-dimensional), whereas it exhibits a critical phase, wher…

Extrapolation of compactness on variable $L^{p(\cdot)}$ spaces
Building on a recent approach of Hytönen-Lappas to the extrapolation of compactness of linear operators on weighted $L^p(w)$ spaces, we extend these results to the weighted variable-exponent spaces $L^{p(\cdot)}(w)$. Related results are recently due to Lorist-Nieraeth, who showed that compactness can be extrapolated from $L^p(w)$ to a general class of Banach function spaces including the $L^{p(\cdot)}(w)$ spaces. The novelty of our result is that one can take any variable-exponent $L^{p(\cdot)…

At sufficiently low temperatures, the cell model exhibits multiple first-order phase transitions. Varying the cell volume and the repulsion-to-attraction ratio, we re…

We show that the spectrum of the curl operator on a generic smoothly bounded domain in three-dimensional Euclidean space consists of simple eigenvalues.

As another application of this variational formula, we simplify the derivation of a well-known necessary condi…

We study the behavior of the classical XY model on a two-dimensional square lattice, with interactions occurring within a vision cone of each spin. Via Monte Carlo simulations, we explore one non-reciprocal and two reciprocal implementations of these interactions. The corresponding energy involves couplings that depend non-trivially on the system's configuration, leading to both long-range and quasi-long-range ordered phases at low temperatures. Our results demonstrate that non-reciprocity is n…

Bridging the Gap Between Semantic and User Preference Spaces for Multi-modal Music Representation Learning
Recent works of music representation learning mainly focus on learning acoustic music representations with unlabeled audios or further attempt to acquire multi-modal music representations with scarce annotated audio-text pairs. They either ignore the language semantics or rely on labeled audio datasets that are difficult and expensive to create. Moreover, merely modeling semantic space usually fails to achieve satisfactory performance on music recommendation tasks since the user preference spac…

Three-dimensional magnetic Schrödinger operator with the potential supported in a tube
In this article we discuss the magnetic Schroedinger operator $H= (i \nabla +A)^2-V$ on $\mathbb{R}^3$ with a non-negative potential $V$ supported over the tube built along a curve which is a local deformation of a straight one, and the magnetic field $B := \mathrm{rot}(A)$ is assumed to be nonzero and local. For the latter, we prove that the magnetic field does not change the essential spectrum of this system, and investigate a sufficient condition for the discrete spectrum of $H$ to be empty.

Wav2Sem: Plug-and-Play Audio Semantic Decoupling for 3D Speech-Driven Facial Animation
In 3D speech-driven facial animation generation, existing methods commonly employ pre-trained self-supervised audio models as encoders. However, due to the prevalence of phonetically similar syllables with distinct lip shapes in language, these near-homophone syllables tend to exhibit significant coupling in self-supervised audio feature spaces, leading to the averaging effect in subsequent lip motion generation. To address this issue, this paper proposes a plug-and-play semantic decorrelation …

Towards LLM-Empowered Fine-Grained Speech Descriptors for Explainable Emotion Recognition
This paper presents a novel end-to-end LLM-empowered explainable speech emotion recognition (SER) approach. Fine-grained speech emotion descriptor (SED) features, e.g., pitch, tone and emphasis, are disentangled from HuBERT SSL representations via alternating LLM fine-tuning to joint SER-SED prediction and ASR tasks. VAE compressed HuBERT features derived via Information Bottleneck (IB) are used to adjust feature granularity. Experiments on the IEMOCAP and MELD benchmarks demonstrate that our a…

Inequalities between Neumann and Dirichlet Laplacian eigenvalues on planar domains
We generalize a classical inequality between the eigenvalues of the Laplacians with Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions on bounded, planar domains: in 1955, Payne proved that below the $k$-th eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian there exist at least $k + 2$ eigenvalues of the Neumann Laplacian, provided the domain is convex. It has, however, been conjectured that this should hold for any domain. Here we show that the statement indeed remains true for all simply connected planar Lipschitz…

Towards Robust Overlapping Speech Detection: A Speaker-Aware Progressive Approach Using WavLM
Overlapping Speech Detection (OSD) aims to identify regions where multiple speakers overlap in a conversation, a critical challenge in multi-party speech processing. This work proposes a speaker-aware progressive OSD model that leverages a progressive training strategy to enhance the correlation between subtasks such as voice activity detection (VAD) and overlap detection. To improve acoustic representation, we explore the effectiveness of state-of-the-art self-supervised learning (SSL) models,…

Patient Domain Supervised Contrastive Learning for Lung Sound Classification Using Mobile Phone
Auscultation is crucial for diagnosing lung diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the limitations of traditional, in-person lung sound assessments. To overcome these issues, advancements in digital stethoscopes and artificial intelligence (AI) have led to the development of new diagnostic methods. In this context, our study aims to use smartphone microphones to record and analyze lung sounds. We faced two major challenges: the difference in audio style between electronic stethoscopes and…

Resolvent estimates for the one-dimensional damped wave equation with unbounded damping
We study the generator $G$ of the one-dimensional damped wave equation with unbounded damping. We show that the norm of the corresponding resolvent operator, $\| (G - λ)^{-1} \|$, is approximately constant as $|λ| \to +\infty$ on vertical strips of bounded width contained in the closure of the left-hand side complex semi-plane, $\overline{\mathbb{C}}_{-} := \{λ\in \mathbb{C}: \operatorname{Re} λ\le 0\}$. Our proof rests on a precise asymptotic analysis of the norm of the…

Contextualized Automatic Speech Recognition with Dynamic Vocabulary Prediction and Activation
Deep biasing improves automatic speech recognition (ASR) performance by incorporating contextual phrases. However, most existing methods enhance subwords in a contextual phrase as independent units, potentially compromising contextual phrase integrity, leading to accuracy reduction. In this paper, we propose an encoder-based phrase-level contextualized ASR method that leverages dynamic vocabulary prediction and activation. We introduce architectural optimizations and integrate a bias loss to ex…

BinauralFlow: A Causal and Streamable Approach for High-Quality Binaural Speech Synthesis with Flow Matching Models
Binaural rendering aims to synthesize binaural audio that mimics natural hearing based on a mono audio and the locations of the speaker and listener. Although many methods have been proposed to solve this problem, they struggle with rendering quality and streamable inference. Synthesizing high-quality binaural audio that is indistinguishable from real-world recordings requires precise modeling of binaural cues, room reverb, and ambient sounds. Additionally, real-world applications demand stream…

Generalized boundary triples for adjoint pairs with applications to non-self-adjoint Schrödinger operators
We extend the notion of generalized boundary triples and their Weyl functions from extension theory of symmetric operators to adjoint pairs of operators, and we provide criteria on the boundary parameters to induce closed operators with a nonempty resolvent set. The abstract results are applied to Schrödinger operators with complex $L^p$-potentials on bounded and unbounded Lipschitz domains with compact boundaries.

Surface plasmons in metamaterial cavities: Scattering by obstacles with negative wave speed
We study scattering by metamaterials with negative indices of refraction, which are known to support \emph{surface plasmons} -- long-lived states that are highly localized at the boundary of the cavity. This type of states has found uses in a variety of modern technologies. In this article, we study surface plasmons in the setting of non-trapping cavities; i.e. when all billiard trajectories outside the cavity escape to infinity. We characterize the indices of refraction which support surface p…

Approximation of Dirac operators with confining electrostatic and Lorentz scalar $δ$-shell potentials
In this paper we study the approximation of Dirac operators with $δ$-shell potentials in the norm resolvent sense. In particular, we consider the approximation of Dirac operators with confining electrostatic and Lorentz scalar $δ$-shell potentials, where the support of the $δ$-shell potentials is impermeable to particles modelled by such Dirac operators.

Pólya's conjecture for Dirichlet eigenvalues of annuli
We prove Pólya's conjecture for the eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian on annular domains. Our approach builds upon and extends the methods we previously developed for disks and balls. It combines variational bounds, estimates of Bessel phase functions, refined lattice point counting techniques, and a rigorous computer-assisted analysis. As a by-product, we also derive a two-term upper bound for the Dirichlet eigenvalue counting function of the disk, improving upon Pólya's original estima…

Weyl laws for exponentially small singular values of the $\overline{\partial}$ operator
We study the number of exponentially small singular values of the semiclassical $\overline{\partial}$ operator on exponentially weighted $L^2$ spaces on the two-dimensional torus. Accurate upper and lower bounds on the number of such singular values are established with the help of auxiliary notions of upper and lower bound weights. Assuming that the Laplacian of the exponential weight changes sign along a curve, we construct optimal such weights by solving a free boundary problem, which yields…
