This paper investigates the performance of various speech SSL models on dialectal Arabic (DA) and Arabic-English code-switched (CS) speech. To address data scarcity, a modified audio-splicing approach is introduced to generate artificial CS speech data. Fine-tuning an already fine-tuned SSL model with the proposed Spliced-Audio Generated (SAGE) data results in an absolute improvement on Word Error Rate (WER) of 7.8% on Arabic and English CS benchmarks.

Methods for the Segmentation of Reticular Structures Using 3D LiDAR Data: A Comparative Evaluation
Reticular structures form the backbone of major infrastructure like bridges, pylons, and airports, but their inspection and maintenance are costly and hazardous, often requiring human intervention. While prior research has focused on fault detection via images or robotic platform design, the autonomous navigation of robots within these structures is less explored. This study addresses that gap by proposing methods to detect navigable surfaces in truss structures, enhancing the autonomy of climb…

Change Point Localization and Inference in Dynamic Multilayer Networks
We study offline change point localization and inference in dynamic multilayer random dot product graphs (D-MRDPGs), where at each time point, a multilayer network is observed with shared node latent positions and time-varying, layer-specific connectivity patterns. We propose a novel two-stage algorithm that combines seeded binary segmentation with low-rank tensor estimation, and establish its consistency in estimating both the number and locations of change points. Furthermore, we derive the l…

Interturn Fault Detection in IPMSMs: Two Adaptive Observer-based Solutions
In this paper we address the problem of online detection of inter-turn short-circuit faults (ITSCFs) that occur in permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs). We propose two solutions to this problem: (i) a very simple linear observer and (ii) a generalized parameter estimation based observer, that incorporates a high performance estimator -- with both observers detecting the short-circuit current and the fault intensity. Although the first solution guarantees the detection of the fault expone…

The simulations are designed to test the hypothesis that the bar forms early on and thickens to create the bulge. To this end, our initial conditions include a stellar disc with a Sérsic surface density profile and do not include any classical bulge component. We also include a gas disc,…

Opinion Dynamics with Highly Oscillating Opinions
Opinion Dynamics (OD) models are a particular case of Agent-Based Models in which the evolution of opinions within a population is studied. In most OD models, opinions evolve as a consequence of interactions between agents, and the opinion fusion rule defines how those opinions are updated. In consequence, despite being simplistic, OD models provide an explainable and interpretable mechanism for understanding the underlying dynamics of opinion evolution. Unfortunately, existing OD models mainly…

Analytic Regression of Feynman Integrals from High-Precision Numerical Sampling
In mathematics or theoretical physics one is often interested in obtaining an exact analytic description of some data which can be produced, in principle, to arbitrary accuracy. For example, one might like to know the exact analytical form of a definite integral. Such problems are not well-suited to numerical symbolic regression, since typical numerical methods lead only to approximations. However, if one has some sense of the function space in which the analytic result should lie, it is possib…

On the Stability of the Euler Characteristic Transform for a Perturbed Embedding
The Euler Characteristic Transform (ECT) is a robust method for shape classification. It takes an embedded shape and, for each direction, computes a piecewise constant function representing the Euler Characteristic of the shape's sublevel sets, which are defined by the height function in that direction. It has applications in TDA inverse problems, such as shape reconstruction, and is also employed with machine learning methodologies. In this paper, we define a distance between the ECTs of two d…

Smoothing topological pseudo-isotopies of 4-manifolds
Given a closed, smooth 4-manifold $X$ and self-diffeomorphism $f$ that is topologically pseudo-isotopic to the identity, we study the question of whether $f$ is moreover smoothly pseudo-isotopic to the identity. If the fundamental group of $X$ lies in a certain class, which includes trivial, free, and finite groups of odd order, we show the answer is always affirmative. On the other hand, we produce the first examples of manifolds $X$ and diffeomorphisms $f$ where the answer is negative. Our in…

A Quantum Superposition of Black Hole Evaporation Histories: Recovering Unitarity
Black hole evaporation is one of the most striking phenomena at the interface between gravity and quantum physics. In Hawking's semi-classical treatment, where matter is quantum mechanical and the spacetime is definite and classical, evaporation leads to an apparent loss of unitarity of the overall evolution, and to the so-called black hole information paradox. Here, we go beyond this semi-classical treatment and formulate a toy quantum model of black hole evaporation that allows the black hole…

Non-linear estimators for the observation and stabilisation of falling liquid films
Falling liquid films are complex physical processes modelled by infinite-dimensional dynamical systems. The interfacial behaviour is characterised by the Reynolds number, a nondimensional parameter, and above a critical value the uniform film becomes unstable and travelling waves occur. By injecting and removing fluid from the base at discrete locations, we aim to stabilise otherwise unstable flat interfaces, with the additional limitation that observations of the state are restricted to finite…

We investigate the existence and uniqueness of solutions for second-order semi-linear partial differential equations defined on a Riemannian manifold $M$. By combining differential geometry and analysis techniques, we establish the existence and uniqueness of constant solutions through the orbits of a group action. Our approach transforms such problems into equivalent ones over a submanifold $Σ$ of dimension one, which is transversal to the group action. This reduction leads us to a one-dimens…

Quantum-Inspired Differentiable Integral Neural Networks (QIDINNs): A Feynman-Based Architecture for Continuous Learning Over Streaming Data
Real-time continuous learning over streaming data remains a central challenge in deep learning and AI systems. Traditional gradient-based models such as backpropagation through time (BPTT) face computational and stability limitations when dealing with temporally unbounded data. In this paper, we introduce a novel architecture, Quantum-Inspired Differentiable Integral Neural Networks (QIDINNs), which leverages the Feynman technique of differentiation under the integral sign to formulate neural u…

Acting and Planning with Hierarchical Operational Models on a Mobile Robot: A Study with RAE+UPOM
Robotic task execution faces challenges due to the inconsistency between symbolic planner models and the rich control structures actually running on the robot. In this paper, we present the first physical deployment of an integrated actor-planner system that shares hierarchical operational models for both acting and planning, interleaving the Reactive Acting Engine (RAE) with an anytime UCT-like Monte Carlo planner (UPOM). We implement RAE+UPOM on a mobile manipulator in a real-world deployment…

Testing the effective action approach to bubble nucleation in holography
The nucleation of bubbles during a first-order phase transition has recently been explored using holographic duality, which can provide an important complement to standard perturbative methods. These computations typically require finding static and spatially inhomogeneous saddle points, known as critical bubbles, which correspond in the gravitational dual to solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations. A computationally simpler alternative is to use the gravitational dual to derive t…

Denoising radio pulses from air showers using machine-learning methods
The Giant Radio Array for Neutrino Detection (GRAND) aims to detect radio signals from extensive air showers (EAS) caused by ultra-high-energy (UHE) cosmic particles. Galactic, hardware-like, and anthropogenic noise are expected to contaminate these signals. To address this problem, we propose training a supervised convolutional network known as an encoder-decoder. This network is used to learn a coded representation of the data and remove specific features from it. This denoiser is trained usi…

Translating between the representations of an acyclic convex geometry of bounded degree
We consider the problem of enumerating the irreducible closed sets of a closure system given by an implicational base. In the context of Horn logic, these correspond to Horn expressions and characteristic models, respectively. To date, the complexity status of this problem is widely open, and it is further known to generalize the notorious hypergraph dualization problem, even in the context of acyclic convex geometries, i.e., closure systems admitting an acyclic implicational base.

Sustainability Transitions and Bending the Curve of Biodiversity Collapse in the Amazon Forest
This paper undertakes an analysis of deforestation in the Amazon area using a pathways-based approach to sustainability. We ground the analysis primarily in the sustainability transitions literature but also draw a bridge with socio-ecological concepts which helps us to understand the nature of transitions in this context. The concept of a deforestation system is developed by examining the interplay of infrastructure, technologies, narratives, and institutions. Drawing on a literature review an…

On slice regular fractal-fractional Dirichlet type spaces
In this paper, we study some families of right modules of quaternionic slice regular functions induced by a generalized fractal-fractional derivative with respect to a truncated quaternionic exponential function on slices. Important Banach spaces of slice regular functions, namely the Bergman and the Dirichlet modules, are two important elements of one of our families.

Exciton-polaritons in a monolayer semiconductor coupled to van der Waals dielectric nanoantennas on a metallic mirror
Polaritons in nanophotonic structures have attracted long-standing interest owing to their fundamental importance and potential for applications in nonlinear and quantum optics. Nanoantennas (NAs) made from high refractive index dielectrics offer a suitable platform for polariton physics thanks to the strongly confined optical Mie resonances and low optical losses in contrast to metallic NAs. However, Mie modes are mainly confined within the NA, making inefficient their coupling with excitons i…

NRXR-ID: Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) in VR Using Near-Range Extended Reality and Smartphones
Two-factor authentication (2FA) has become widely adopted as an efficient and secure way to validate someone's identity online. Two-factor authentication is difficult in virtual reality (VR) because users are usually wearing a head-mounted display (HMD) which does not allow them to see their real-world surroundings. We present NRXR-ID, a technique to implement two-factor authentication while using extended reality systems and smartphones. The proposed method allows users to complete an authenti…

MultiObjectiveAlgorithms.jl: a Julia package for solving multi-objective optimization problems
We present MultiObjectiveAlgorithms.jl, an open-source Julia library for solving multi-objective optimization problems written in JuMP. MultiObjectiveAlgorithms.jl implements a number of different solution algorithms, which all rely on an iterative scalarization of the problem from a multi-objective optimization problem to a sequence of single-objective subproblems. As part of this work, we extended JuMP to support vector-valued objective functions. Because it is based on JuMP, MultiObjectiveAl…

A Bayesian framework for change-point detection with uncertainty quantification
We introduce a novel Bayesian method that can detect multiple structural breaks in the mean and variance of a length $T$ time-series. Our method quantifies the uncertainty by returning $α$-level credible sets around the estimated locations of the breaks. In the case of a single change in the mean and/or the variance of an independent sub-Gaussian sequence, we prove that our method attains a localization rate that is minimax optimal up to a $\log T$ factor. For an $α$-mixing sequence with depe…

A Reinforcement Learning-Based Telematic Routing Protocol for the Internet of Underwater Things
The Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) faces major challenges such as low bandwidth, high latency, mobility, and limited energy resources. Traditional routing protocols like RPL, which were designed for land-based networks, do not perform well in these underwater conditions. This paper introduces RL-RPL-UA, a new routing protocol that uses reinforcement learning to improve performance in underwater environments. Each node includes a lightweight RL agent that selects the best parent node based…

The chemical and spatial variations of the bulge's velocity ellipsoids
We study the velocity ellipsoids in an $N$-body$+$SPH simulation of a barred galaxy which forms a bar with a BP bulge. We focus on the 2D kinematics, and quantify the velocity ellipses by the anisotropy, $β_{ij}$, the correlation, $ρ_{ij}$, and the vertex deviation, $l_{\rm v}$. We explore the variations in these quantities based on stellar age within the bulge and compare these results with the Milky Way's bulge using data from APOGEE DR16 and {\it Gaia} DR3. We first explore the variation o…

The multiple-scattering FTH-MS method is based on a partition of the domain boundary into a user-prescribed set of overlapping open arcs, along with a corresponding sequence of multiple-scatterin…
