Fine-tuning ORBGRAND with Very Few Channel Soft Values
Guessing random additive noise decoding (GRAND) is a universal decoding paradigm that decodes by repeatedly testing error patterns until identifying a codeword, where the ordering of tests is generated by the received channel values. On one hand, while testing error patterns in a descending order of posterior probabilities leads to maximum likelihood decoding, its implementation complexity is prohibitive. On the other hand, testing error patterns with a prescribed set of error patterns permuted…

Halloumi With Corn, Cherry Tomatoes and Basil Recipe (Gift Recipe)
Seared cubes of halloumi get melty and soft on their insides and dark brown and a little crisp on the surface, making it almost impossible not to devour them all as they come out of the pan. But try to resist, because they’re even better tossed with a quick sauté of summer corn and tomatoes, seasoned with basil. Slivers of red onions, folded in raw at the end, add crunch and sweetness, while a squeeze of fresh lime makes everything tangy and fresh. Although this dish is at its most sublime m…

SOFT: Selective Data Obfuscation for Protecting LLM Fine-tuning against Membership Inference Attacks
Large language models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable success and are widely adopted for diverse applications. However, fine-tuning these models often involves private or sensitive information, raising critical privacy concerns. In this work, we conduct the first comprehensive study evaluating the vulnerability of fine-tuned LLMs to membership inference attacks (MIAs). Our empirical analysis demonstrates that MIAs exploit the loss reduction during fine-tuning, making them highly effective in re…

Refraction corrected specular beamforming applied to cortical bone enhances interface visibility of bone-soft tissues interfaces
Ultrasound imaging of the cortex of long bones may enable the measurement of the cortical thickness and the ultrasound wave speed in cortical bone tissue. However, with bone loss, the cortical porosity and the size of the pores increase, resulting in strong ultrasound diffuse scattering whose magnitude can exceed that of the specular reflection from the bone-marrow (endosteal) interface. In this study we adapt to bone a specular beamforming technique proposed to better image a needle in soft ti…

Data-driven Kinematic Modeling in Soft Robots: System Identification and Uncertainty Quantification
Precise kinematic modeling is critical in calibration and controller design for soft robots, yet remains a challenging issue due to their highly nonlinear and complex behaviors. To tackle the issue, numerous data-driven machine learning approaches have been proposed for modeling nonlinear dynamics. However, these models suffer from prediction uncertainty that can negatively affect modeling accuracy, and uncertainty quantification for kinematic modeling in soft robots is underexplored. In this w…

Polarized Deep Inelastic Scattering as $x \to 1$ using Soft Collinear Effective Theory
We use Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) to factorize the polarized Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) structure functions $g_1(x)$ and $g_2(x)$, and to sum Sudakov double logarithms of $1-x$. The analysis is done both in terms of lightcone parton distributions and their moments. Computing $g_2$ requires subleading SCET operators which contain gluons. We calculate the one-loop matching coefficients from QCD onto these subleading SCET operators, and the one-loop matching from SCET onto the par…

Bayesian Optimization (BO) has shown promise in tuning processor design parameters. However, standard BO does not support constraints involving categorical parameters such as types of branch predictors and division circuits. In addition, optimization time of BO grows with processor complexity, which becomes increasingly significant especially for FPGA-based soft processors.

Controlling the output probabilities of softmax-based models is a common problem in modern machine learning. Although the $\mathrm{Softmax}$ function provides soft control via its temperature parameter, it lacks the ability to enforce hard constraints, such as box constraints, on output probabilities, which can be critical in certain applications requiring reliable and trustworthy models. In this work, we propose the box-constrained softmax ($\mathrm{BCSoftmax}$) function, a novel generalizatio…

Non-Gaussian Phase Transition and Cascade of Instabilities in the Dissipative Quantum Rabi Model
The open quantum Rabi model describes a two-level system coupled to a harmonic oscillator. A Gaussian phase transition for the nonequilibrium steady states has been predicted when the bosonic mode is soft and subject to damping. We show that oscillator dephasing is a relevant perturbation, which leads to a non-Gaussian phase transition and an intriguing cascade of instabilities for $k$-th order bosonic operators. For the soft-mode limit, the equations of motion form a closed hierarchy and spect…

Heavy Lasso: sparse penalized regression under heavy-tailed noise via data-augmented soft-thresholding
High-dimensional linear regression is a fundamental tool in modern statistics, particularly when the number of predictors exceeds the sample size. The classical Lasso, which relies on the squared loss, performs well under Gaussian noise assumptions but often deteriorates in the presence of heavy-tailed errors or outliers commonly encountered in real data applications such as genomics, finance, and signal processing. To address these challenges, we propose a novel robust regression method, terme…

Higher-order soft and virtual corrections in $p p \to γW$ production at the LHC
We study higher-order QCD corrections beyond NLO for the associated production of a photon with a $W$ boson ($γW^+$ and $γW^-$ production) at the Large Hadron Collider. We calculate the NNLO soft-plus-virtual QCD corrections as well as the N$^3$LO soft-gluon corrections to the total production cross section and the photon transverse-momentum distribution in single-particle-inclusive kinematics. The higher-order corrections provide a significant enhancement to the cross section. This is the fi…

A Versatile Neural Network Configuration Space Planning and Control Strategy for Modular Soft Robot Arms
Modular soft robot arms (MSRAs) are composed of multiple modules connected in a sequence, and they can bend at different angles in various directions. This capability allows MSRAs to perform more intricate tasks than single-module robots. However, the modular structure also induces challenges in accurate planning and control. Nonlinearity and hysteresis complicate the physical model, while the modular structure and increased DOFs further lead to cumulative errors along the sequence. To address …

The effect of fiber plasticity on domain formation in soft biological composites -- Part I: a bifurcation analysis
The main objective of this work is to shed light on the effect of fiber plasticity on the macroscopic response and domain formation in soft biological composites. This goal is pursued by analyzing the plane-strain response of two-phase laminates. In the context of this problem, the effect of fiber plasticity is accounted for by allowing the elastically stiffer layers (``fiber'' phase) to also yield plastically and by taking the soft layers (``matrix'' phase) to be purely elastic solids. The ana…

Anomalous diffusion in coupled viscoelastic media: A fractional Langevin equation approach
Anomalous diffusion often arises in complex environments where viscoelastic or crowded conditions influence particle motion. In many biological and soft-matter systems, distinct components of the medium exhibit unique viscoelastic responses, resulting in time-dependent changes in the observed diffusion exponents. Here, we develop a theoretical model of two particles, each embedded in a distinct viscoelastic medium, and coupled via a harmonic potential. By formulating and solving a system of cou…

Precision $e^+e^-$ Hemisphere Masses in the Dijet Region with Power Corrections
We derive high-precision results for the $e^+e^-$ heavy jet mass (HJM) $d σ/d ρ$ and dihemisphere mass (DHM) $d^2σ/(d s_1 d s_2)$ distributions, for $s_1\sim s_2$, in the dijet region. New results include: i) the N$^3$LL resummation for HJM of large logarithms $\ln^n(ρ)$ at small $ρ$ including the exact two-loop non-global hemisphere soft function, the 4-loop cusp anomalous dimension and the 3-loop hard and jet functions, ii) N$^3$LL results for DHM with resummation of logarithms $\ln(s_{1…

Strain dependent viscous response describes the mechanics of cohesionless soft granular materials
Granular materials are ubiquitous in nature and are used extensively in daily life and in industry. The modeling of these materials remains challenging; therefore, finding models with acceptable predictive accuracy that at the same time also reflect the complexity of the granular dynamics is a central research theme in the field. Soft particle packings present additional modeling challenges, as it has become clear that soft particles also have particle-level relaxation timescales that affect th…

Co-Design of Soft Gripper with Neural Physics
For robot manipulation, both the controller and end-effector design are crucial. Soft grippers are generalizable by deforming to different geometries, but designing such a gripper and finding its grasp pose remains challenging. In this paper, we propose a co-design framework that generates an optimized soft gripper's block-wise stiffness distribution and its grasping pose, using a neural physics model trained in simulation. We derived a uniform-pressure tendon model for a flexure-based soft fin…

Soft and virtual corrections to semi-inclusive DIS up to four loops in QCD
We apply the threshold resummation formalism for semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (SIDIS) to derive the soft and virtual corrections for the SIDIS cross section up to four loops in QCD. Using the recently computed next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections for the SIDIS cross section together with known results for the form factor and splitting functions in QCD up to four loops, we derive the complete soft and collinear contributions to the SIDIS coefficient functions at four-loop or…

Multi-Objective Neural Network Assisted Design Optimization of Soft Fin-Ray Grippers for Enhanced Grasping Performance
Soft Fin-Ray grippers can perform delicate and careful manipulation, which has caused notable attention in different fields. These grippers can handle objects of various forms and sizes safely. The internal structure of the Fin-Ray finger plays a significant role in its adaptability and grasping performance. However, modeling the non-linear grasp force and deformation behaviors for design purposes is challenging. Moreover, when the Fin-Ray finger becomes more rigid and capable of exerting highe…

Analytic NNLO transverse-momentum-dependent soft function for heavy quark pair hadroproduction at threshold
The transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) soft function for non-relativisitc heavy quark pair production at hadron colliders is analytically computed at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in the strong coupling expansion. We present the details of our computational approach and analyze the general two-loop structure of the soft function. The final result, which takes a particularly simple form, provides the last missing ingredient for a complete NNLO calculation of color-octet $S$-wave quarkoni…

Deep Reinforcement Learning-Based Motion Planning and PDE Control for Flexible Manipulators
This article presents a motion planning and control framework for flexible robotic manipulators, integrating deep reinforcement learning (DRL) with a nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) controller. Unlike conventional approaches that focus solely on control, we demonstrate that the desired trajectory significantly influences endpoint vibrations. To address this, a DRL motion planner, trained using the soft actor-critic (SAC) algorithm, generates optimized trajectories that inherently …

Anomalous Shear Stress Growth During Relaxation of a Soft Glass
We show experimentally that multiple soft glassy fluids are capable of storing directional rheological signatures from past shear history, evidenced during stress growth and overall nonmonotonic stress relaxation after small steps in strain. We illustrate theoretically that these responses can be reproduced without requiring thixotropy or shear-banding, which are typically implicated in time-dependent rheological complexities, but by using a simple elastoplastic rheological model with power-law…

Brownian motion near a soft surface
Brownian motion near soft surfaces is a situation widely encountered in nanoscale and biological physics. However, a complete theoretical description is lacking to date. Here, we theoretically investigate the dynamics of a two-dimensional colloid in an arbitrary external potential and near a soft surface. The latter is minimally modelled by a Winkler's foundation, and we restrict the study to the colloidal motion in the direction perpendicular to the surface. We start from deterministic hydrody…

Transport of soft matter in complex and confined environments
Brownian motion provides a bedrock for the understanding of soft condensed matter and, therefore, of the physical description of the microscopic biological world. Inspired by this domain, and combining softness with hydrodynamic energy inputs, new physical modes of nanoscale organization and transport may now be accessible.

Enhanced molecular diffusion near a soft fluctuating membrane
Particles diffusing near interfaces face anisotropic resistance to motion due to hydrodynamic interactions. While this has been extensively studied near \textit{hard} interfaces since the works of Lorentz and Brenner, our understanding of diffusion near \textit{soft, thermally fluctuating} interfaces remains limited. Previous studies have predominantly focused on particles much larger than the molecular scale at which thermal fluctuations become important. In this work, we numerically investiga…

Non-invasive measurement of local stress inside soft materials with programmed shear waves
Mechanical stresses in soft materials across different length scales play a fundamental role in understanding the function of biological systems and in the use of artificial materials for engineering soft machines and biomedical devices. Yet it remains a great challenge to probe local mechanical stresses in situ in a non-invasive, non-destructive manner, in particular when the mechanical properties are unknown. To address this challenge, we propose an acoustoelastic imaging-based method to infe…
