TED-LaST: Towards Robust Backdoor Defense Against Adaptive Attacks
Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are vulnerable to backdoor attacks, where attackers implant hidden triggers during training to maliciously control model behavior. Topological Evolution Dynamics (TED) has recently emerged as a powerful tool for detecting backdoor attacks in DNNs. However, TED can be vulnerable to backdoor attacks that adaptively distort topological representation distributions across network layers. To address this limitation, we propose TED-LaST (Topological Evolution Dynamics agai…

Photoelastic Grain Solver v2.0: An updated tool for analysis of force measurements in granular materials
Photoelastic force imaging is an experimental technique whereby a birefringent granular material is imaged with a polariscope to characterize the internal stress state of a granular material. Photoelasticimetry is the only proven experimental technique that allows researchers to measure the shear and normal forces at every particle contact in a granular packing. In 2017, Kollmer et al. [Rev. Sci. Instrum. 88, 051808 (2017)] developed an open-source software to perform this analysis. Here, we pr…

The fraction of polar aligned circumbinary disks
Circumbinary gas disks that are misaligned to the binary orbital plane evolve toward either a coplanar or a polar-aligned configuration with respect to the binary host. The preferred alignment depends on the dynamics of the disk: whether it undergoes librating or circulating nodal precession, with librating disks evolving to polar inclinations and circulating disks evolving to coplanar. We quantify the fraction of binary star systems whose disks are expected to have polar orbits $f_\text{polar}…

Triple Massey products for higher genus curves
We study the vanishing of triple Massey products for absolutely irreducible smooth projective curves over a number field. For each genus $g > 1$ and each prime $\ell > 3$, we construct examples of hyperelliptic curves of genus $g$ for which there are non-empty triple Massey products with coefficients in $\mathbb{Z}/\ell$ that do not contain $0$.
