CPN-Py: A Python-Based Tool for Modeling and Analyzing Colored Petri Nets
Colored Petri Nets (CPNs) are an established formalism for modeling processes where tokens carry data. Although tools like CPN Tools and CPN IDE excel at CPN-based simulation, they are often separate from modern data science ecosystems. Meanwhile, Python has become the de facto language for process mining, machine learning, and data analytics. In this paper, we introduce CPN-Py, a Python library that faithfully preserves the core concepts of Colored Petri Nets -- including color sets, timed tok…

Range-Angle Likelihood Maps for Indoor Positioning Using Deep Neural Networks
Accurate and high precision of the indoor positioning is as important as ensuring reliable navigation in outdoor environments. Using the state-of-the-art deep learning models provides better reliability and accuracy to navigate and monitor the accurate positions in the aircraft cabin environment. We utilize the simulated aircraft cabin environment measurements and propose a residual neural network (ResNet) model to predict the accurate positions inside the cabin. The measurements include the ra…

Virtual Trading in Multi-Settlement Electricity Markets
In the Day-Ahead (DA) market, suppliers sell and load-serving entities (LSEs) purchase energy commitments, with both sides adjusting for imbalances between contracted and actual deliveries in the Real-Time (RT) market. We develop a supply function equilibrium model to study how virtual trading-speculating on DA-RT price spreads without physical delivery-affects market efficiency. Without virtual trading, LSEs underbid relative to actual demand in the DA market, pushing DA prices below expected …

Enhancing Parameter Control Policies with State Information
Parameter control and dynamic algorithm configuration study how to dynamically choose suitable configurations of a parametrized algorithm during the optimization process. Despite being an intensively researched topic in evolutionary computation, optimal control policies are known only for very few cases, limiting the development of automated approaches to achieve them. With this work we propose four new benchmarks for which we derive optimal or close-to-optimal control policies. More precisel…

Weak measurement in strong laser field physics
The advantage of attosecond measurements is the possibility of time-resolving ultrafast quantum phenomena of electron dynamics. Many such measurements are of interferometric nature, and therefore give access to the phase. Likewise, weak measurements are intrinsically interferometric and specifically take advantage of interfering probability amplitudes, therefore encoding the phase information of the process. In this work, we show that attosecond interferometry experiments can be seen as a weak …

A General Class of Model-Free Dense Precision Matrix Estimators
We introduce prototype consistent model-free, dense precision matrix estimators that have broad application in economics. Using quadratic form concentration inequalities and novel algebraic characterizations of confounding dimension reductions, we are able to: (i) obtain non-asymptotic bounds for precision matrix estimation errors and also (ii) consistency in high dimensions; (iii) uncover the existence of an intrinsic signal-to-noise -- underlying dimensions tradeoff; and (iv) avoid exact popu…
