Discharge dynamics in a cylindrical SDBD prototype reactor under ns-pulsed and sinusoidal AC operation
We developed a prototype reactor generating surface dielectric barrier discharges (SDBDs) in ambient air, designed for consistent operation while preventing constructive material degradation. It features detachable stainless steel electrodes and quartz dielectric to ensure precise fabrication. The grounded electrode is fully immersed into transformer oil drastically suppressing undesired parasitic discharges. The device efficiently sustains ns-pulsed and AC discharges at 10 kHz, enabling fundam…

DFPL: Decentralized Federated Prototype Learning Across Heterogeneous Data Distributions
Federated learning is a distributed machine learning paradigm through centralized model aggregation.

Self-Reinforcing Prototype Evolution with Dual-Knowledge Cooperation for Semi-Supervised Lifelong Person Re-Identification
Current lifelong person re-identification (LReID) methods predominantly rely on fully labeled data streams. However, in real-world scenarios where annotation resources are limited, a vast amount of unlabeled data coexists with scarce labeled samples, leading to the Semi-Supervised LReID (Semi-LReID) problem where LReID methods suffer severe performance degradation. Existing LReID methods, even when combined with semi-supervised strategies, suffer from limited long-term adaptation performance du…

Emergence of Hermitian topology from non-Hermitian knots
The non-Hermiticity of the system gives rise to a distinct knot topology in the complex eigenvalue spectrum, which has no counterpart in Hermitian systems. In contrast, the singular values of a non-Hermitian (NH) Hamiltonian are always real by definition, meaning that they can also be interpreted as the eigenvalues of some underlying Hermitian Hamiltonian. In this work, we demonstrate that if the singular values of an NH Hamiltonian are treated as eigenvalues of prototype translational invarian…

Advancing Medical Image Segmentation via Self-supervised Instance-adaptive Prototype Learning
Medical Image Segmentation (MIS) plays a crucial role in medical therapy planning and robot navigation. Prototype learning methods in MIS focus on generating segmentation masks through pixel-to-prototype comparison.

In this paper, we propose to generate instance-adaptive prototypes for MIS, which integrates a common prototype proposal (CP…

However, significant challenges arise in capturing this provenance, including: (1) rapidly evolving APIs, (2) diverse operation types, and (3) large-scale datasets. To address these challenges, this paper presents a prototype annotation system designed for arrays, which captures cell-level provenance specifically within the numpy library. With this prototype, we explore straightforward memor…

Linearithmic Clean-up for Vector-Symbolic Key-Value Memory with Kroneker Rotation Products
A computational bottleneck in current Vector-Symbolic Architectures (VSAs) is the ``clean-up'' step, which decodes the noisy vectors retrieved from the architecture. Clean-up typically compares noisy vectors against a ``codebook'' of prototype vectors, incurring computational complexity that is quadratic or similar. We present a new codebook representation that supports efficient clean-up, based on Kroneker products of rotation-like matrices. The resulting clean-up time complexity is linearithm…

Prototype-Guided and Lightweight Adapters for Inherent Interpretation and Generalisation in Federated Learning
Federated learning (FL) provides a promising paradigm for collaboratively training machine learning models across distributed data sources while maintaining privacy. Nevertheless, real-world FL often faces major challenges including communication overhead during the transfer of large model parameters and statistical heterogeneity, arising from non-identical independent data distributions across clients. In this work, we propose an FL framework that 1) provides inherent interpretations using pro…

Building Forest Inventories with Autonomous Legged Robots -- System, Lessons, and Challenges Ahead
Legged robots are increasingly being adopted in industries such as oil, gas, mining, nuclear, and agriculture. However, new challenges exist when moving into natural, less-structured environments, such as forestry applications. This paper presents a prototype system for autonomous, under-canopy forest inventory with legged platforms. Motivated by the robustness and mobility of modern legged robots, we introduce a system architecture which enabled a quadruped platform to autonomously navigate an…

This paper explores how Compute Express Link (CXL) can transform PCIe-based block storage into a scalable, byte-addressable working memory. We address the challenges of adapting block storage to CXL's memory-centric model by emphasizing cacheability as a key enabler and advocating for Type 3 endpoint devices, referred to as CXL-SSDs. To validate our approach, we prototype a CXL-SSD on a custom FPGA platform and propose annotation mechanisms, Determinism and Bufferability, to enhance performance…

Layered magnetic materials potentially hold the key to future applications based on optical control and manipulation of magnetism. NiPS3, a prototype member of this family, is antiferromagnetic below 155 K and exhibits sharp photoluminescence associated to a transition between a triplet ground state and a singlet excited state. The nature of the luminescent transition is a matter of current debate and so is an eventual fundamental link of this excitation to magnetism. Here we provide answers th…

Partial decidability protocol for the Wang tiling problem from statistical mechanics and chaotic mapping
We introduce a partial decidability protocol for the Wang tiling problem (which is the prototype of undecidable problems in combinatorics and statistical physics) by constructing a suitable mapping from tilings of finite squares of different sizes. Such mapping depends on the initial family of Wang tiles (the alphabet) with which one would like to tile the plane. This allows to define effective entropy and temperature associated to the alphabet (together with the corresponding partition functio…

Design and Reliability of a User Space Write-Ahead Log in Rust
Write-ahead logs (WALs) are a fundamental fault-tolerance technique found in many areas of computer science. WALs must be reliable while maintaining high performance, because all operations will be written to the WAL to ensure their stability. Without reliability a WAL is useless, because its utility is tied to its ability to recover data after a failure. In this paper we describe our experience creating a prototype user space WAL in Rust. We observed that Rust is easy to use, compact and has a…

Irec: A Metacognitive Scaffolding for Self-Regulated Learning through Just-in-Time Insight Recall: A Conceptual Framework and System Prototype

Existing digital tools, however, inadequately support metacognitive reflection. Spaced Repetition Systems (SRS) use de-contextualized review, overlooking the role of context, while Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) tools require high manual maintenance.

Efforts towards ameliorating these have mostly concentrated on improving the accuracy of the surrogates or imbuing them with additional structure, and have garnered limited success. In this article, we study a prototype problem and draw insights that can help with more complex systems. In particular, we focus on a viscous Burgers'-ML system and, after i…

Discontinuity in the distribution of field increments between avalanches in non-abelian random field Blume-Emery-Griffiths model with no passing violation
We study the zero-temperature quasi-statically driven dynamics of the random field Blume-Emery-Griffiths model (RFBEGM) as a prototype for disordered systems with competing interactions. While the random field Ising model is known to obey the no-passing rule we show that this property is generically violated in the RFBEGM. By exploring the full parameter space, we identify the precise conditions under which no-passing is broken, particularly in the regime where a repulsive biquadratic coupling …
