Motion2Motion: Cross-topology Motion Transfer with Sparse Correspondence
This work studies the challenge of transfer animations between characters whose skeletal topologies differ substantially. While many techniques have advanced retargeting techniques in decades, transfer motions across diverse topologies remains less-explored. The primary obstacle lies in the inherent topological inconsistency between source and target skeletons, which restricts the establishment of straightforward one-to-one bone correspondences. Besides, the current lack of large-scale paired m…

This work provides a detailed study of Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials and employs the central difference operator to study the Sturm-Liouville problem. It presents two linearly independent solutions to the recursion relation, along with the associated difference equations. Additionally, the establishment of second-kind functions is discussed.

Chameleon: Integrated Sensing and Communication with Sub-Symbol Beam Switching in mmWave Networks
Next-generation cellular networks are envisioned to integrate sensing capabilities with communication, particularly in the millimeter-wave (mmWave) spectrum, where beamforming using large-scale antenna arrays enables directional signal transmissions for improved spatial multiplexing. In current 5G networks, however, beamforming is typically designed either for communication or sensing (e.g., beam training during link establishment). In this paper, we present Chameleon, a novel framework that au…

Probing minimal observable length with dark modes in an optomechanical detector
Several theories that attempt to unify quantum theory and gravitational theory assume that space has an observable limiting resolution related to the Planck length, denoted by $\sqrt{β_0}L_p$. Quantum mechanically, this concept derives a generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) and the corresponding modified commutator. The prediction and observation of GUP-induced new physics, as well as the quantitative measurement of the value of $β_0$, may provide substantial support for the establishment …

Statistics-Friendly Confidentiality Protection for Establishment Data, with Applications to the QCEW
Confidentiality for business data is an understudied area of disclosure avoidance, where legacy methods struggle to provide acceptable results. Modern formal privacy techniques designed for person-level data do not provide suitable confidentiality/utility trade-offs due to the highly skewed nature of business data and because extreme outlier records are often important contributors to query answers. In this paper, inspired by Gaussian Differential Privacy, we propose a novel confidentiality fra…

We do so by considering a $D$-dimensional spacetime and the matter sector described by nonlinear electrodynamics and/or a scalar field.
