SAGA-SR: Semantically and Acoustically Guided Audio Super-Resolution
Versatile audio super-resolution (SR) aims to predict high-frequency components from low-resolution audio across diverse domains such as speech, music, and sound effects. Existing diffusion-based SR methods often fail to produce semantically aligned outputs and struggle with consistent high-frequency reconstruction. In this paper, we propose SAGA-SR, a versatile audio SR model that combines semantic and acoustic guidance. Based on a DiT backbone trained with a flow matching objective, SAGA-SR i…

SAGA: Learning Signal-Aligned Distributions for Improved Text-to-Image Generation
State-of-the-art text-to-image models produce visually impressive results but often struggle with precise alignment to text prompts, leading to missing critical elements or unintended blending of distinct concepts. We propose a novel approach that learns a high-success-rate distribution conditioned on a target prompt, ensuring that generated images faithfully reflect the corresponding prompts. Our method explicitly models the signal component during the denoising process, offering fine-grained …

Above 99.9% Fidelity Single-Qubit Gates, Two-Qubit Gates, and Readout in a Single Superconducting Quantum Device
Achieving high-fidelity single-qubit gates, two-qubit gates, and qubit readout is critical for building scalable, error-corrected quantum computers. However, device parameters that enhance one operation often degrade the others, making simultaneous optimization challenging. Here, we demonstrate that careful tuning of qubit-coupler coupling strengths in a superconducting circuit with two transmon qubits coupled via a tunable coupler enables high-fidelity single- and two-qubit gates, without comp…

SAGAbg III: Environmental Stellar Mass Functions, Self-Quenching, and the Stellar-to-Halo Mass Relation in the Dwarf Galaxy Regime
Recent efforts have extended our view of the number and properties of satellite galaxies beyond the Local Group firmly down to $\rm M_\star\sim 10^6 M_\odot$. A similarly complete view of the field dwarf population has lagged behind. Using the background galaxies sample from the Satellites Around Galactic Analogs (SAGA) Survey at $z<0.05$, we take inventory of the dwarf population down to $\rm M_\star \sim 5\times10^6 M_\odot$ using three metrics: the stellar mass function (SMF) as function of …

Optimizing Cloud-native Services with SAGA: A Service Affinity Graph-based Approach
Modern software architectures are characterized by their cloud-native, modular, and microservice-based designs. While these systems are known for their efficiency, they also face complex challenges in service optimization, especially in maintaining end-to-end quality of service across dynamically distributed services. This paper introduces a novel approach using the concept of Service Affinity to address this challenge. The proposed method, termed Service Affinity Graph-based Approach, employs …

All sizes and structural parameters are measured uniformly using pysersic to ensure consistency across samples. We find th…

On the shape of pancakes: catastrophe theory and Gaussian statistics in 2D
Cold dark matter (CDM) can be thought of as a 2D (or 3D) sheet of particles in 4D (or 6D) phase-space due to its negligible velocity dispersion. The large-scale structure, also called the cosmic web, is thus a result of the topology of the CDM manifold. Initial crossing of particle trajectories occurs at the critical points of this manifold, forming singularities that seed most of the collapsed structures. The cosmic web can thus be characterized using the points of singularities. In this conte…
