EA: An Event Autoencoder for High-Speed Vision Sensing
High-speed vision sensing is essential for real-time perception in applications such as robotics, autonomous vehicles, and industrial automation. Traditional frame-based vision systems suffer from motion blur, high latency, and redundant data processing, limiting their performance in dynamic environments. Event cameras, which capture asynchronous brightness changes at the pixel level, offer a promising alternative but pose challenges in object detection due to sparse and noisy event streams. To…

Reduction Techniques for Survival Analysis
In this work, we discuss what we refer to as reduction techniques for survival analysis, that is, techniques that "reduce" a survival task to a more common regression or classification task, without ignoring the specifics of survival data. Such techniques particularly facilitate machine learning-based survival analysis, as they allow for applying standard tools from machine and deep learning to many survival tasks without requiring custom learners. We provide an overview of different reduction …

On the connectedness of the singular set of holomorphic foliations
Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a codimension 1 singular holomorphic foliation on $\mathbb{P}^3$ and let $Z$ be the union of the 1-dimensional connected components of its singular set; Dominique Cerveau asked in 2013 whether $Z$ is necessarily connected. We prove that if a $k$-dimensional holomorphic foliation on a projective manifold whose determinant bundle of the normal sheaf is ample has a singular set $Z$ of dimension $k-1$, then $Z$ is connected. This can be regarded as providing an obstruction for …

Neutrino masses from an alternative approach to the seesaw mechanism
An alternative approach to obtaining neutrino masses, distinct from the traditional seesaw mechanism, is proposed. This method relies on the simultaneous diagonalization of matrices derived from a twisted Lagrangian density of the neutrino matter sector. This approach avoids the need for introducing heavy Majorana neutrinos, thereby reducing the number of free parameters in the Standard Model (SM). We present numerical results for neutrino masses that align with experimental data, and we introd…

EA-ViT: Efficient Adaptation for Elastic Vision Transformer
Vision Transformers (ViTs) have emerged as a foundational model in computer vision, excelling in generalization and adaptation to downstream tasks. However, deploying ViTs to support diverse resource constraints typically requires retraining multiple, size-specific ViTs, which is both time-consuming and energy-intensive. To address this issue, we propose an efficient ViT adaptation framework that enables a single adaptation process to generate multiple models of varying sizes for deployment on …

Parametric pair production of collective excitations in a Bose-Einstein condensate
By exciting the transverse breathing mode of an elongated Bose-Einstein condensate, we parametrically produce longitudinal collective excitations in a pairwise manner.

Building upon single particle detection, we investigate the early time dynamics of the exponential growth and compare our observation with a Bogoliubov description. The growth rate we observe experimentally is i…

We show that, under stress, financial factors amplify adverse macroec…

Evaluating PDE discovery methods for multiscale modeling of biological signals
Biological systems are non-linear, include unobserved variables and the physical principles that govern their dynamics are partly unknown. This makes the characterization of their behavior very challenging. Notably, their activity occurs on multiple interdependent spatial and temporal scales that require linking mechanisms across scales. To address the challenge of bridging gaps between scales, we leverage partial differential equations (PDE) discovery. PDE discovery suggests meso-scale dynamic…

We define a new process which generalises the original by writing expressions in terms of a hierarchy of bases $B$, instead of a single base $b$. In particular, the `digit' $a$ may itself be written with respect to a smaller base $b'$. W…

On inertial forces (indirect terms) in problems with a central body
Gravitational systems in astrophysics often comprise a body -- the primary -- that far outweights the others, and which is taken as the centre of the reference frame. A fictitious acceleration, also known as the indirect term, must therefore be added to all other bodies in the system to compensate for the absence of motion of the primary. In this paper, we first stress that there is not one indirect term but as many indirect terms as there are bodies in the system that exert a gravitational pul…

Quantum disordered ground state and relative proximity to an exactly solvable model in the frustrated magnet CeMgAl$_{11}$O$_{19}$
The magnetic properties of the triangular magnet CeMgAl$_{11}$O$_{19}$ were investigated by magnetization and specific heat measurements down to $T=0.03\,$K on single crystals grown by the floating zone method. The formation of effective spins $S_\mathrm{eff}= 1/2$ below $T < 10$\,K was confirmed both by DFT calculations and specific heat measurements. No magnetic order was found down to $T=0.03\,$K despite the formation of magnetic correlations observed in specific heat. The measured magnetiza…

Extension of the CC($P$;$Q$) Formalism to the Electron Attachment and Ionization Potential Equation-of-Motion Coupled-Cluster Frameworks
We combine the electron attachment (EA) and ionization potential (IP) equation-of-motion (EOM) coupled-cluster (CC) approaches with the CC($P$;$Q$) formalism. The resulting methodologies are used to describe the electronic states of several open-shell molecules, with the goal of approximating high-level EA/IP-EOMCC energetics corresponding to a full treatment of 3-particle-2-hole (3$p$-2$h$) and 3-hole-2-particle (3$h$-2$p$) excitations on top of CC with singles and doubles (CCSD). We show that…

AutoMashup: Automatic Music Mashups Creation
We introduce AutoMashup, a system for automatic mashup creation based on source separation, music analysis, and compatibility estimation. We propose using COCOLA to assess compatibility between separated stems and investigate whether general-purpose pretrained audio models (CLAP and MERT) can support zero-shot estimation of track pair compatibility. Our results show that mashup compatibility is asymmetric -- it depends on the role assigned to each track (vocals or accompaniment) -- and that cur…

Observation of entanglement in a cold atom analog of cosmological preheating
We observe entanglement between collective excitations of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a configuration analogous to particle production during the preheating phase of the early universe. In our setup, the oscillation of the inflaton field is mimicked by the transverse breathing mode of a cigar-shaped condensate, which parametrically excites longitudinal quasiparticles with opposite momenta. After a short modulation period, we observe entanglement of these pairs which demonstrates that vacuum f…

Descriptive set theory of separable Fréchet spaces
In the past few decades, much has been done regarding the descriptive set theory of separable Banach spaces. However, the descriptive properties of separable Fréchet spaces have not yet been investigated. In these notes, we look at this problem, its relation with the (now standard) theory for separable Banach spaces, and we compute/estimate the descriptive complexity of some classical classes of separable Fréchet spaces such as Fréchet-Hilbert, Schwartz, nuclear, and Montel spaces. Our main …

Contribution of expert aggregation to temperature prediction part II: Second order bounds with sleeping experts
In this paper we improve on the temperature predictions made with (online) Expert Aggregation (EA) [Cesa-Bianchi and Lugosi, 2006] in Part I. In particular, we make the aggregation more reactive, whilst maintaining at least the same root mean squared error and reducing the number of large errors. We have achieved this by using the Sleeping Expert Framework (SEF) [Freund et al., 1997, Devaine et al., 2013], which allows the more efficient use of biased experts (bad on average but which may be go…

Towards a better understanding of abdominal wall biomechanics: in vivo relationship between dynamic intra-abdominal pressure and magnetic resonance imaging measurements
Background In vivo mechanical behaviour of the abdominal wall has been poorly characterised and important details are missing regarding the occurrence and post-operative recurrence rate of hernias which can be as high as 30 %. This study aimed to assess the correlation between abdominal wall displacement and intra-abdominal pressure, as well as abdominal compliance. Methods Eighteen healthy participants performed audio-guided passive (breathing) and active (coughing, Valsalva maneuver) exercise…

Contribution of expert aggregation to temperature prediction part I
Many Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models and their associated Model Output Statistics (MOS) are available. Combining all of these predictions in an optimal way is however not straightforward. This can be achieved thanks to Expert Aggregation (EA) [Cesa-Bianchi and Lugosi, 2006, Gaillard et al., 2014, Wintenberger, 2024] which has many advantages, such as being online, being adaptive to model changes and having theoretical guarantees. Hence, in this paper, we propose a method for making de…

Recent Chemo-morphological Coma Evolution of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
We present VLT/MUSE observations of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko during its 2021 perihelion passage, from which we generated simultaneous maps of dust, [OI], C$_2$, NH$_2$, and CN comae across 12 pre- and post-perihelion epochs. These maps reveal the evolutionary and compositional trends of 67P's coma and further enrich the context and findings of ESA's Rosetta mission. Dust and gas species displayed distinct structures, where NH$_2$ and CN signals were uniquely associated with known dust fa…
