ProGress: Structured Music Generation via Graph Diffusion and Hierarchical Music Analysis
Artificial Intelligence (AI) for music generation is undergoing rapid developments, with recent symbolic models leveraging sophisticated deep learning and diffusion model algorithms. One drawback with existing models is that they lack structural cohesion, particularly on harmonic-melodic structure. Furthermore, such existing models are largely "black-box" in nature and are not musically interpretable. This paper addresses these limitations via a novel generative music framework that incorporate…

Masses, Star-Formation Efficiencies, and Dynamical Evolution of 18,000 HII Regions
We present measurements of the masses associated with $\sim18,000$ HII regions across 19 nearby star-forming galaxies by combining data from JWST, HST, MUSE, ALMA, VLA, and MeerKAT from the multi-wavelength PHANGS survey. We report 10 pc-scale measurements of the mass of young stars, ionized gas, and older disk stars coincident with each HII region, as well as the initial and current mass of molecular gas, atomic gas, and swept-up shell material, estimated from lower resolution data. We find th…

Geometry of Growing-Dividing Autocatalytic Dynamical Systems
We formalize the structure of a class of mathematical models of growing-dividing autocatalytic systems demonstrating that self-reproduction emerges only if the system's 'growth dynamics' and 'division strategy' are mutually compatible. Using various models in this class (the linear Hinshelwood cycle and nonlinear coarse-grained models of protocells and bacteria), we show that depending on the chosen division mechanism, the same chemical system can exhibit either (i) balanced exponential growth,…
