“The real question, then, is not ‘what can we do?’, but ‘what are we afraid to do?’ Whose comfort are we protecting when we ask safe questions? Whose illusions do we preserve through politeness? Solidarity is not an optic; it is a disruption. It is noisy, uncomfortable, often isolating. It pulls reputation apart rather than polishing it.
…
We are too fluent in the language of outrage, too comfortable in the posture of virtue. History will not absolve spectatorship, even when specta…

RamPINN: Recovering Raman Spectra From Coherent Anti-Stokes Spectra Using Embedded Physics
Transferring the recent advancements in deep learning into scientific disciplines is hindered by the lack of the required large-scale datasets for training. We argue that in these knowledge-rich domains, the established body of scientific theory provides reliable inductive biases in the form of governing physical laws. We address the ill-posed inverse problem of recovering Raman spectra from noisy Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) measurements, as the true Raman signal here is suppre…
