Real-Time Kinematic Positioning and Optical See-Through Head-Mounted Display for Outdoor Tracking: Hybrid System and Preliminary Assessment
This paper presents an outdoor tracking system using Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) positioning and Optical See-Through Head Mounted Display(s) (OST-HMD(s)) in urban areas where the accurate tracking of objects is critical and where displaying occluded information is important for safety reasons. The approach presented here replaces 2D screens/tablets and offers distinct advantages, particularly in scenarios demanding hands-free operation. The integration of RTK, which provides centimeter-level accu…

Hijacking JARVIS: Benchmarking Mobile GUI Agents against Unprivileged Third Parties
Mobile GUI agents are designed to autonomously execute diverse device-control tasks by interpreting and interacting with mobile screens. Despite notable advancements, their resilience in real-world scenarios where screen content may be partially manipulated by untrustworthy third parties remains largely unexplored. Owing to their black-box and autonomous nature, these agents are vulnerable to manipulations that could compromise user devices. In this work, we present the first systematic investi…

Exploring Satellite Quantum Key Distribution under Atmospheric Constraints
Satellite Quantum Key Distribution creates a pathway for secure global communication with a level of security that is peerless. However, ground-to-satellite Quantum Key Distribution links are degraded due to the atmospheric turbulence. This paper gives a numerical framework using angular spectrum propagation, Hufnagel-Valley model of turbulence and Von Karman phase screens and takes into account the static losses introduced due to the absorption of the beam by the different elements and compoun…

Negative binomial regression and inference using a pre-trained transformer
Negative binomial regression is essential for analyzing over-dispersed count data in in comparative studies, but parameter estimation becomes computationally challenging in large screens requiring millions of comparisons. We investigate using a pre-trained transformer to produce estimates of negative binomial regression parameters from observed count data, trained through synthetic data generation to learn to invert the process of generating counts from parameters. The transformer method achiev…

A simple reprogramming of the bios to reset the counter back to zero. No hardware change, no electronic repair per se, nothing. It's ridiculous, grotesque and disgusting.

Density functional theory study of effect of NO annealing on electronic structures and carrier scattering properties of 4H-SiC(0001)/SiO$_2$ interface
The effect of the nitrided layer introduced by NO annealing on the electronic structure and carrier scattering property of the 4H-SiC(0001)/SiO$_2$ interface is investigated by the density functional theory calculation using the interface models where the areal N atom density corresponds to that in practical devices. The areal N atom density is one third of the areal C atom density in practical devices. It is found that the nitrided layer screens the unfavorable Coulomb interaction of O atoms i…

Location Tests with Noisy Proxies for Latent Variables
We investigate inference in a latent binary variable model where a noisy proxy of the latent variable is available, motivated by the variable perturbation effectiveness problem in single-cell CRISPR screens. The baseline approach is to ignore the perturbation effectiveness problem, while a recent proposal employs a weighted average based on the proxies. Our main goals are to determine how accurate the proxies must be in order for a weighted test to gain power over the unweighted baseline, and t…

Athena: Intermediate Representations for Iterative Scaffolded App Generation with an LLM
It is challenging to generate the code for a complete user interface using a Large Language Model (LLM). User interfaces are complex and their implementations often consist of multiple, inter-related files that together specify the contents of each screen, the navigation flows between the screens, and the data model used throughout the application. It is challenging to craft a single prompt for an LLM that contains enough detail to generate a complete user interface, and even then the result is…

Machine Learning for Detecting Collusion and Capacity Withholding in Wholesale Electricity Markets
Collusion and capacity withholding in electricity wholesale markets are important mechanisms of market manipulation.

Specifically, we consider an ensemble machine learning method that uses statistical screens constructed from the offer price distribution as predictors for the incidence of collusion among electricity pro…

Sequential Correct Screening and Post-Screening Inference
Selecting the top-$m$ variables with the $m$ largest population parameters from a larger set of candidates is a fundamental problem in statistics. In this paper, we propose a novel methodology called Sequential Correct Screening (SCS), which sequentially screens out variables that are not among the top-$m$. A key feature of our method is its anytime validity; it provides a sequence of variable subsets that, with high probability, always contain the true top-$m$ variables. Furthermore, we develo…
