SCOPE: Stochastic Cartographic Occupancy Prediction Engine for Uncertainty-Aware Dynamic Navigation
This article presents a family of Stochastic Cartographic Occupancy Prediction Engines (SCOPEs) that enable mobile robots to predict the future states of complex dynamic environments. They do this by accounting for the motion of the robot itself, the motion of dynamic objects, and the geometry of static objects in the scene, and they generate a range of possible future states of the environment. These prediction engines are software-optimized for real-time performance for navigation in crowded …

Identifying interactions across brain areas while accounting for individual-neuron dynamics with a Transformer-based variational autoencoder
Advances in large-scale recording technologies now enable simultaneous measurements from multiple brain areas, offering new opportunities to study signal transmission across interacting components of neural circuits. However, neural responses exhibit substantial trial-to-trial variability, often driven by unobserved factors such as subtle changes in animal behavior or internal states. To prevent evolving background dynamics from contaminating identification of functional coupling, we developed …

Estimation of Treatment Effects Under Nonstationarity via Truncated Difference-in-Q's
Randomized controlled experiments (''A/B testing'') are fundamental for assessing interventions in dynamic technology-driven environments, such as recommendation systems, online marketplaces, and digital health interventions. In these systems, interventions typically impact not only the current state of the system, but also future states; therefore, accurate estimation of the global average treatment effect (or GATE) from experiments requires accounting for the dynamic temporal behavior of the …

First-ish Order Methods: Hessian-aware Scalings of Gradient Descent
Gradient descent is the primary workhorse for optimizing large-scale problems in machine learning. However, its performance is highly sensitive to the choice of the learning rate. A key limitation of gradient descent is its lack of natural scaling, which often necessitates expensive line searches or heuristic tuning to determine an appropriate step size. In this paper, we address this limitation by incorporating Hessian information to scale the gradient direction. By accounting for the curvatur…

Fidelity decay and error accumulation in random quantum circuits
We present a comprehensive analysis of fidelity decay and error accumulation in faulty quantum circuit models. Our work devises an analytical bound for the average fidelity between desired and faulty output states, accounting for errors that may arise during the implementation of two-qubit gates and multi-qubit permutations. It is shown that fidelity decays exponentially with both circuit depth and the number of qubits raised to an architecture-dependent power, and determine the decay rates as …

High-Throughput Asset Pricing
We apply empirical Bayes (EB) to mine data on 136,000 long-short strategies constructed from accounting ratios, past returns, and ticker symbols. This ``high-throughput asset pricing'' matches the out-of-sample performance of top journals while eliminating look-ahead bias. Naively mining for the largest Sharpe ratios leads to similar performance, consistent with our theoretical results, though EB uniquely provides unbiased predictions with transparent intuition. Predictability is concentrated i…

A thermodynamical suspension model for blood
A complete thermodynamical analysis for a blood model, based on mixture theory, is performed. The model is developed considering the blood as a suspension of red blood cells (solid component) in the plasma (fluid component), and taking into account the temperature effects. Furthermore, two independent scalar internal variables are introduced accounting for additional dissipative effects. Using Clausius-Duhem inequality, the general thermodynamic restrictions and residual dissipation inequality …

My removal from #nasa #nyc continued afoot.
I haven’t said much of it here — but my competitive grant proposals (nasa scientists get funded this way since full cost accounting hit in 2004) have been chosen, but not funded.
There is no grant money to distribute. Folks in the know have seen that - ROSES, the acronym for research opportunities in science, does not have a 2025 call and the 2024 chosen post January 2025 don’t have money getting distributed.
If I cannot get proposals funded I will be in the same situation as every other soft money researcher.
So the soft RIF is coming for me and 1000’s of others.

FDTD with Auxiliary Bath Fields for Condensed-Phase Polaritonics: Fundamentals and Implementation
Understanding condensed-phase polariton experiments requires accurately accounting for both realistic cavity geometries and the interplay between polaritons and material dark modes arising from microscopic molecular interactions. The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) approach numerically propagates classical Maxwell's equations in the time domain, offering a versatile scheme for modeling polaritons in realistic cavities. However, the simple dielectric functions routinely used in FDTD often f…

Quantifying and Reducing Speaker Heterogeneity within the Common Voice Corpus for Phonetic Analysis
With its crosslinguistic and cross-speaker diversity, the Mozilla Common Voice Corpus (CV) has been a valuable resource for multilingual speech technology and holds tremendous potential for research in crosslinguistic phonetics and speech sciences. Properly accounting for speaker variation is, however, key to the theoretical and statistical bases of speech research. While CV provides a client ID as an approximation to a speaker ID, multiple speakers can contribute under the same ID. This study …

NLTE atmospheric modelling of the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-178b and comparison with UV and optical observations
We model the atmosphere of the ultra-hot Jupiter (UHJ) WASP-178b accounting for NLTE effects and compare synthetic transmission spectra with NUV and optical observations. We use the HELIOS code (LTE) in the lower and the Cloudy code (LTE or NLTE) in the middle and upper atmosphere to compute the temperature-pressure (TP) and abundance profiles. We further use Cloudy to compute the theoretical planetary transmission spectrum both in LTE and NLTE for comparison with observations. We find an isoth…

Symmetry Breaking as Predicted by a Phase Space Hamiltonian with a Spin Coriolis Potential
We perform electronic structure calculations for a set of molecules with degenerate spin-dependent ground states ($^3$CH$_2$, $^2$CH$_3^{\bullet}$, $^3$O$_2$) going beyond the Born-Oppenheimer approximation and accounting for nuclear motion. According to a phase space (PS) approach that parametrizes electronic states ($|Φ\rangle$) and electronic energies ($E$) by nuclear position and momentum (i.e., $|Φ(\mathbf{R},\mathbf{P}) \rangle$ and $E(\mathbf{R},\mathbf{P})$), we find that th…

Inhomogeneous mark correlation functions for general marked point processes
Spatial phenomena in environmental and biological contexts often involve events that are unevenly distributed across space and carry attributes, whose associations/variations are space-dependent. In this paper, we introduce the class of inhomogeneous mark correlation functions, capturing mark associations/variations, while explicitly accounting for the spatial inhomogeneity of events. The proposed functions are designed to quantify how, on average, marks vary or associate with one another as a …

Non-Markovian Rock-Paper-Scissors games
There is mounting evidence that species interactions often involve long-term memory, with highly-varying waiting times between successive events and long-range temporal correlations. Accounting for memory undermines the common Markovian assumption, and dramatically impacts key ingredients of population dynamics including birth, foraging, predation, and competition processes. Here, we study a critical aspect of population dynamics, namely non-Markovian multi-species competition. This is done in …
