Exploiting Policy Idling for Dexterous Manipulation
Learning-based methods for dexterous manipulation have made notable progress in recent years. However, learned policies often still lack reliability and exhibit limited robustness to important factors of variation. One failure pattern that can be observed across many settings is that policies idle, i.e. they cease to move beyond a small region of states when they reach certain states. This policy idling is often a reflection of the training data. For instance, it can occur when the data contain…

Representation theory for polymatroids
We develop a theory of representations of (discrete) polymatroids over tracts in terms of Plücker coordinates and suitable Plücker relations. As special cases, we recover polymatroids themselves as polymatroid representations over the Krasner hyperfield K and M-convex functions as polymatroid representations over the tropical hyperfield. We introduce and study several useful operations for polymatroid representations, such as translation and refined notions of minors and duality which have …

Cross Mutual Information
Mutual information (MI) is a useful information-theoretic measure to quantify the statistical dependence between two random variables: $X$ and $Y$. Often, we are interested in understanding how the dependence between $X$ and $Y$ in one set of samples compares to another. Although the dependence between $X$ and $Y$ in each set of samples can be measured separately using MI, these estimates cannot be compared directly if they are based on samples from a non-stationary distribution. Here, we propo…

Black hole spectroscopy of collapsing and merging neutron stars
Black hole spectroscopy is an important pillar when studying gravitational waves from black holes and enables tests of general relativity. Most of the gravitational-wave signals observed over the last decade originate from binary black hole systems. Binary neutron star or black hole-neutron star systems are rarer but of particular interest for the next-generation ground-based gravitational-wave detectors. These events offer the exciting possibility of studying matter effects on the ringdown of …

Effect Identification and Unit Categorization in the Multi-Score Regression Discontinuity Design with Application to LED Manufacturing
The RDD (regression discontinuity design) is a widely used framework for identification and estimation of causal effects at a cutoff of a single running variable. Practical settings, in particular those encountered in production systems, often involve decision-making defined by multiple thresholds and criteria. Common MRD (multi-score RDD) approaches transform these to a one-dimensional design, to employ identification and estimation results. However, this practice can introduce non-compliant b…

A comparative numerical study of stochastic Hamiltonian Camassa-Holm equations
We introduce a stochastic perturbation of the Camassa-Holm equation such that, unlike previous formulations, energy is conserved by the stochastic flow. We compare this to a complementary approach which preserves Casimirs of the Poisson bracket. Through an energy preserving numerical implementation of the model, we study the influence of noise on the well-known 'peakon' formation behaviour of the solution. The energy conserving stochastic approach generates an ensemble of solutions which are sp…

While Large Language Models (LLMs) have been extensively evaluated as second-stage reranking models for monolingual IR, a systematic large-scale comparison is still lacking for cross-lingual IR (CLIR). Moreover, while prior work shows that LLM-based rerankers improve CLIR performance, their evaluation setup relies on lexical retrieval with machine translation (MT) for the first stage.

The R-index: A universal metric for evaluating OAM content and mode purity in optical fields
Despite its pivotal role in optical manipulation, high-capacity communications, and quantum information, a general measure of orbital angular momentum (OAM) in structured light remains elusive. In optical fields, where multiple vortices coexist, the local nature of vortex OAM and the absence of a common rotation axis make the total OAM of the field difficult to quantify. Here, we introduce the R-index, a metric that captures the intrinsic OAM content of any structured optical field, from pure L…

We present various mechanisms to increase axial density homogeneity in a helicon plasma for implementation in such an accelerator. We consider various background neutral flow configurations for helicons generated with first one antenna and then two identical antennas in a 2 meter long, 52 mm diameter plasma chamber with homogeneous magnetic field. In the case of a single an…

Disentangling coincident cell events using deep transfer learning and compressive sensing
Accurate single-cell analysis is critical for diagnostics, immunomonitoring, and cell therapy, but coincident events - where multiple cells overlap in a sensing zone - can severely compromise signal fidelity. We present a hybrid framework combining a fully convolutional neural network (FCN) with compressive sensing (CS) to disentangle such overlapping events in one-dimensional sensor data. The FCN, trained on bead-derived datasets, accurately estimates coincident event counts and generalizes to…

Expanding the search space of high entropy oxides and predicting synthesizability using machine learning interatomic potentials
We propose an efficient computational methodology for predicting the synthesizability of high entropy oxides (HEOs) in a large space of possible candidate compounds. HEOs are a growing field with an enormous potential chemical composition space, and yet the discovery of new HEOs is slow and driven by experimental trial-and-error. In this work, we attempt to speed up this process by using a machine learned interatomic potential offering DFT-level accuracy. Our methodology starts by identifying a…

Efficient Learning-Based Control of a Legged Robot in Lunar Gravity
Legged robots are promising candidates for exploring challenging areas on low-gravity bodies such as the Moon, Mars, or asteroids, thanks to their advanced mobility on unstructured terrain. However, as planetary robots' power and thermal budgets are highly restricted, these robots need energy-efficient control approaches that easily transfer to multiple gravity environments. In this work, we introduce a reinforcement learning-based control approach for legged robots with gravity-scaled power-op…

Modal Identification of Mirror Vibrations at the VLT using Accelerometer Data
Recent advances in ground-based astronomy have made it possible to create optical telescopes with primary mirrors up to 40 m in size. With growing mirror diameter, the suppression of non-atmospheric disturbances becomes increasingly important. Precise knowledge of the movement of telescope mirrors is essential for understanding and compensating for vibration-based perturbations. A model from VLT accelerometer data for each individual mirror is developed, while the influence of wind buffeting is…

High-redshift AGN population in radiation-hydrodynamics simulations
High-redshift active galactic nuclei (AGN) have long been recognized as key probes of early black hole growth and galaxy evolution. However, modeling this population remains difficult due to the wide range of luminosities and black hole masses involved, and the high computational costs of capturing the hydrodynamic response of gas and evolving radiation fields on-the-fly. In this study, we present a new suite of simulations based on the IllustrisTNG galaxy formation framework, enhanced with on-…

Spin-polarised surface fermiology of ohmic WSe$_2$/NbSe$_2$ interfaces
Discovering and engineering spin-polarised surface states in the electronic structures of condensed matter systems is a crucial first step in development of spintronic devices, wherein spin-polarised bands crossing the Fermi level can facilitate information transfer. Here, we show how the spin-orbit split K-point valleys of monolayer WSe$_2$ can be made potentially suitable for this purpose, despite the semiconducting ground state. By interfacing with metallic 2H-NbSe$_2$, these valence band ex…

An Open-Source User-Friendly Interface for Simulating Magnetic Soft Robots using Simulation Open Framework Architecture (SOFA)
Soft robots, particularly magnetic soft robots, require specialized simulation tools to accurately model their deformation under external magnetic fields. However, existing platforms often lack dedicated support for magnetic materials, making them difficult to use for researchers at different expertise levels. This work introduces an open-source, user-friendly simulation interface using the Simulation Open Framework Architecture (SOFA), specifically designed to model magnetic soft robots. The t…

Simulation of Wavefront-based Disturbance Observers for Large Telescopes
The performance of future observatories such as the Extremely Large Telescope is mainly limited by atmospheric turbulence and structural vibrations of the optical assembly. To further enhance the mitigation performance of adaptive optics, real-time information about the disturbances acting on the control loop is needed. Current systems therefore employ a combination of wavefront sensor- and accelerometer-based filters. In this work, methods using only data from natural- and laser guide star (NG…

Stable crack propagation in dislocation-engineered oxide visualized by double cleavage drilled compression test
Understanding crack tip - dislocation interaction is critical for improving the fracture resistance of semi-brittle materials like room-temperature plastically deformable ceramics. Here, we use a modified double cleavage drilled compression (DCDC) specimen geometry, which facilitates stable crack propagation, to achieve in situ observation of crack tip - dislocation interaction. MgO specimens, furnished with dislocation-rich barriers, were employed to study how dislocations influence crack prop…
