"which emojis are used the least often?" - Great question, and we rarely find data on this! But luckily, we studied this at least for two corpora with German users (and admittedly only for face emojis). So: Many object or symbol emojis (from the "tail end" of the emoji list) are very, very rarely used. Overall, faces and hearts are the most frequent. Among the face emojis, we compiled the full list of usages from a huge Twitter corpus (semi-public communication, 2014-2022) and a much small WhatsApp chat corpus (private or group communication). You can find the frequencies in this table linked below (and sort by frequency by clicking on the column). The least frequent face emoji in the large corpus was the "frowning face with open mouth" 😦, which most people have never seen before. Personally, I think it's pretty ambiguous and not very useful, as there are better emojis for anything it might express. #emojis #linguistics #WorldEmojiDay

Workslop dramatically increases that lossiness, with what we mean to say drifting further and further away from us, mediated through machines that smooth out the tone and blur the intent until we are saying nothing at all.

MJSAC: McCormick Relaxation-based Waveform Design for Joint Sensing and Communication
Bodhibrata Mukhopadhyay, Sajid Ahmed, Mohamed-Slim Alouini
https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.11351 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2606.11351 https://arxiv.org/html/2606.11351

Abstract: In the upcoming 5G Advanced and 6G technologies, joint sensing and communication (JSAC) will play a pivotal role in enabling the simultaneous utilization of hardware and spectrum resources for communication and sensing tasks. While current algorithms primarily focus on designing beampattern invariant covariance matrices for transmitting various symbols for communication, they often overlook the distances among these symbols. While these covariance matrices effectively facilitate ranging operations, they have adverse effects on communication performance. Designing beampattern invariance covariance matrices with maximal distances among themselves poses a challenging non-convex problem. In this paper, we introduce a novel waveform design method based on McCormick relaxation called McCormick-based JSAC (MJSAC). MJSAC sequentially solves an optimization problem to generate a set of covariance matrices by maximizing the distances (Frobenius norm) among themselves while ensuring a consistent beam pattern. Also, MJSAC eliminates the requirement for channel information to generate the covariance matrices. Through simulations, we demonstrate that MJSAC outperforms conventional algorithms, even those utilizing channel information at the transmitter.

Analysis of inter-spike interval statistics in neuronal networks with depolarizing and hyperpolarizing threshold potentials
Oliver Gambrell, Abhyudai Singh
https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.18428 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2607.18428 https://arxiv.org/html/2607.18428
arXiv:2607.18428v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Neuronal communication is mediated in part by changes in neuronal firing rates. The time interval between successive neuronal firings is referred to as the inter-spike interval (ISI), and quantifying its statistics is important for understanding neuronal communication. This paper studies the ISI statistics of a postsynaptic neuron receiving independent excitatory and inhibitory presynaptic action potentials (EI circuit). This circuit is modeled as a classical integrate-and-fire neuron, and the ISI statistics are investigated for both fixed and adaptive threshold potentials. First, a depolarizing adaptive threshold model is studied, where the threshold potential increases with the postsynaptic membrane potential. Our analysis shows that the ISI noise, quantified as the coefficient of variation, is larger in the adaptive threshold model compared to the fixed threshold model for the same mean ISI. Additionally, simulations reveal that the ISI noise can be either hypo- or hyper-exponential (defined as ISI noise smaller or larger than one, respectively) depending on the frequencies of excitatory and inhibitory inputs. Next, a hyperpolarizing adaptive threshold potential is studied, where the threshold decreases as the membrane potential hyperpolarizes. Interestingly, this model shows that the postsynaptic neuron can generate action potentials (APs) when driven solely by inhibitory inputs. Furthermore, mean and noise signatures are characterized across model parameters for both excitatory and inhibitory inputs. In summary, this work provides a systematic stochastic analysis of adaptive threshold models for AP generation to understand their role in interneuronal information processing.

Multipartite reference-frame-independent quantum cryptographic communication

Abstract: Reference frame mismatch among communication parties introduces errors in quantum cryptographic protocols. As the number of participants increases, aligning reference frames becomes increasingly difficult, complicating multipartite quantum cryptographic implementations. Here, we theoretically and experimentally investigate multipartite reference-frame-independent (RFI) quantum cryptographic communication using Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states. We generalize the bipartite RFI security parameter $C$ to an $N$-party parameter $C_N$ and derive the asymptotic secret key rate expressed solely in terms of experimentally accessible quantities. We analyze the key rate under global and local depolarizing noise models and find that increasing the number of parties $N$ enhances robustness against global depolarizing noise while increasing vulnerability to local channel noise. We also present a proof-of-principle experimental demonstration of four-party RFI quantum cryptographic communication using four-photon GHZ states, confirming the reference-frame invariance of both the $C_4$ parameter and the secret key rate under various reference frame rotations.

"Do you know of any unexpected pattern of emoji usage? For example I'd expect younger folks to use emoji more than older folks and private communication to use it more than business... But maybe my assumptions are wrong or there is something else interesting?" - Yes generally our studies show that younger ppl use emojis more than older (and women a bit more than men). But in class with my undergraduates, they recently often tell me "I don't use emojis at all". I must say I don't fully believe them (maybe they don't even notice all the little hearts anymore?) and I haven't been able to show this in studies, but it's an interesting anecdotal data point I'd like to know more about!
Also, a student of mine recently asked teenagers (13 and 16yos) about their emoji interpretations. And surprisingly to us, these almost entirely match the data we already have for adults.

Abstract: The transition to next-generation mobile communication networks, particularly 6G, demands advanced technologies to meet the requirements for ultra-reliable, low-latency communication, massive connectivity, and intelligent applications. Reconfigurable antennas (RAs) play a crucial role in achieving these objectives by enabling dynamic adjustments to the radio frequency (RF) characteristics of antennas, such as gain, radiation pattern, impedance, and polarization. Unlike traditional fixed-position antennas, RAs can alter both their radiation patterns and positions, offering flexibility in response to varying communication environments. This paper presents a comprehensive survey and tutorial on RAs, with a focus on fluid antennas (FAs), movable antennas (MAs), pinching antennas (PAs), and reconfigurable holographic antennas (RHAs), examining their potential in next-generation mobile networks. We explore the channel modelling and estimation, performance analysis, resource allocation strategies, and their synergy with other emerging wireless technologies for each type of RA. Finally, we provide a comparative analysis of different RAs and discuss the open challenges and future research directions, offering insights and guidance for future investigations in the exciting research area.

Abstract: The joint rate-distortion framework of Stavrou and Kountouris (IEEE Transactions on Communications 2023) characterises dual-fidelity tradeoffs for semantic communication on stochastic semantic sources. Many task-oriented communication systems instead use designed sources, where the semantic object is a deterministic oracle allocation $\phi^(t)$ rather than a stochastic quantity given by nature. We isolate the subclass of designed sources under smooth concave utility with assumptions A1, A2 and Euclidean allocation codomain, and restrict the encoder class to deterministic common-category mappings. Within this subclass the SK exponential-tilting decoder and generalised Blahut--Arimoto iteration specialise to conditional-mean decoding and Lloyd--Max stationarity on $\phi^(t)$. When the second fidelity is a monotone single-letter distortion, the joint problem stays inside the SK admissible class; the common-category SK rate is lower-bounded by the max of the corresponding Shannon rate-distortion functions, with equality only when the common-category reconstruction is compatible and RDF-optimal. When the second fidelity is aggregate verification, the joint problem leaves the SK single-letter class and admits a constrained-design feasibility band $R_{\min}(\varepsilon^) \leq R \leq R_{\max}(\beta^)$ of width $\log_2(K_{\max}/K_{\min})$ bits in partition cardinality. The reduction and the band are scope statements on the SK apparatus, not modifications to it. A smart-grid economic-dispatch example with a non-technical-loss-detection contrast illustrates the band.
