Breaking a Logarithmic Barrier in the Stopping Time Convergence Rate of Stochastic First-order Methods
This work provides a novel convergence analysis for stochastic optimization in terms of stopping times, addressing the practical reality that algorithms are often terminated adaptively based on observed progress. Unlike prior approaches, our analysis: 1. Directly characterizes convergence in terms of stopping times adapted to the underlying stochastic process. 2. Breaks a logarithmic barrier in existing results. Key to our results is the development of a Grönwall-type argument tailored to such…

Assisted Fibre Inflation in Perturbative LVS
We propose a multi-field fiber inflation scenario in type IIB perturbative large volume compactifications, showing that the multi-field dynamics suppresses trans-Planckian displacements of the canonical inflaton. Considering a concrete K3-fibred Calabi-Yau (CY) threefold with $h^{1,1}({\rm CY})=3$ and having certain underlying symmetries, we show that the presence of multi-fibre moduli creates an assisted inflation scenario where multiple moduli collectively help in producing the cosmological o…

Towards Fair Rankings: Leveraging LLMs for Gender Bias Detection and Measurement
The presence of social biases in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Information Retrieval (IR) systems is an ongoing challenge, which underlines the importance of developing robust approaches to identifying and evaluating such biases. In this paper, we aim to address this issue by leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) to detect and measure gender bias in passage ranking. Existing gender fairness metrics rely on lexical- and frequency-based measures, leading to various limitations, e.g., mi…

Anisotropic nonlinear transport in two-dimensional ferroelectrics
The longitudinal nonlinear response plays a crucial role in the nonreciprocal charge transport and may provide a simple electrical means to probe the spin-orbit coupling, magnetic order and polarization states, etc. Here, we report on a study on the polarization and magnetic field control of longitudinal nonlinear transport in two-dimensional (2D) ferroelectrics with in-plane polarization. Based on the Boltzmann transport theory, we first study that using a general Hamiltonian model and show th…

By performing least squares and Bayesian fits to the non-physical lattice QCD data, we determine the low-energy constants through both perturbative and non-perturbative iterative methods.

General measures of effect size to calculate power and sample size for Wald tests with generalized linear models
Power and sample size calculations for Wald tests in generalized linear models (GLMs) are often limited to specific cases like logistic regression. More general methods typically require detailed study parameters that are difficult to obtain during planning. We introduce two new effect size measures for estimating power, sample size, or the minimally detectable effect size in studies using Wald tests across any GLM. These measures accommodate any number of predictors or adjusters and require on…

Dehazing Light Microscopy Images with Guided Conditional Flow Matching: finding a sweet spot between fidelity and realism
Fluorescence microscopy is a major driver of scientific progress in the life sciences. Although high-end confocal microscopes are capable of filtering out-of-focus light, cheaper and more accessible microscopy modalities, such as widefield microscopy, can not, which consequently leads to hazy image data. Computational dehazing is trying to combine the best of both worlds, leading to cheap microscopy but crisp-looking images. The perception-distortion trade-off tells us that we can optimize eith…

Collaborative Last-Mile Delivery: A Multi-Platform Vehicle Routing Problem With En-route Charging
The rapid growth of e-commerce and the increasing demand for timely, cost-effective last-mile delivery have increased interest in collaborative logistics. This research introduces a novel collaborative synchronized multi-platform vehicle routing problem with drones and robots (VRP-DR), where a fleet of $\mathcal{M}$ trucks, $\mathcal{N}$ drones and $\mathcal{K}$ robots, cooperatively delivers parcels. Trucks serve as mobile platforms, enabling the launching, retrieving, and en-route charging of…

A new Phase-Field Model for Anisotropic Surface Diffusion: Anisotropic Cahn-Hilliard Equation with Improved Conservation (ACH-IC)
As popular approximations to sharp-interface models, the Cahn-Hilliard type phase-field models are usually used to simulate interface dynamics with volume conservation. However, the convergence rate of the volume enclosed by the interface to its sharp-interface limit is usually at first order of the interface thickness in the classical Cahn-Hilliard model with constant or degenerate mobilities. In this work, we propose a variational framework for developing new Cahn-Hilliard dynamics with enhan…

Impact of Communication Delay and Sampling on Small-Signal Stability of IBR-rich Power Systems
The growing adoption of inverter-based resources (IBRs) has introduced unprecedented dynamics in power systems, resulting in oscillations across a broad spectrum of frequencies. Communication delay between the plant-level control and the inverter-level control in IBR plants has been recognized as one of the causes of such oscillations and a factor that impacts the system's stability. The control signals from the plant-level controller also experience sampling, with the sampled values held const…

Quantum-Centric Alchemical Free Energy Calculations
In the present work, we present a hybrid quantum-classical workflow aimed at improving the accuracy of alchemical free energy (AFE) predictions by incorporating configuration interaction (CI) simulations using the book-ending correction method. This approach applies the Multistate Bennett Acceptance Ratio (MBAR) over a coupling parameter λ to smoothly transition the system from molecular mechanics (MM) (λ = 0) to a quantum mechanics (QM) (λ = 1) description. The resulting correction is then …

Superconducting bistability in floating Al islands of hybrid Al/InAs nanowires
We investigate a non-equilibrium aspect of the current-driven superconducting-normal phase transition in floating Al islands of epitaxial full-shell Al/InAs nanowires. Within a transition region discontinuous voltage jumps and hysteretic behaviour of the I-V characteristics are observed, associated with the destruction and recovery of the superconducting order parameter in the island. The strength of the two features varies strongly in different devices in a mutually correlated way and can be s…

A conservative invariant-domain preserving projection technique for hyperbolic systems under adaptive mesh refinement
We propose a rigorous, conservative invariant-domain preserving (IDP) projection technique for hierarchical discretizations that enforces membership in physics-implied convex sets when mapping between solution spaces. When coupled with suitable refinement indicators, the proposed scheme enables a provably IDP adaptive numerical method for hyperbolic systems where preservation of physical properties is essential. In addition to proofs of these characteristics, we supply a detailed construction o…

A Bayesian approach for unadjudicated events in cardiovascular disease cohort studies
An important issue in joint modelling for outcomes and longitudinal risk factors in cohort studies is to have an accurate assessment of events. Events determined based on ICD-9 codes can be very inaccurate, in particular for cardiovascular disease (CVD) where ICD-9 codes may overestimate the frequency of CVD. Motivated by the lack of adjudicated events in the Established Populations for Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly (EPESE) cohort, we develop methods that use a related cohort Atheroscler…

Probing the flavour structure of dimension-6 EFT operators in multilepton final states in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV
An analysis of the flavour structure of dimension-6 effective field theory (EFT) operators in multilepton final states is presented, focusing on the interactions involving Z bosons. For the first time, the flavour structure of these operators is disentangled by simultaneously probing the interactions with different quark generations. The analysis targets the associated production of a top quark pair and a Z boson, as well as diboson processes in final states with at least three leptons, which c…

How Do Code Smells Affect Skill Growth in Scratch Novice Programmers?
Context. Code smells, which are recurring anomalies in design or style, have been extensively researched in professional code. However, their significance in block-based projects created by novices is still largely unknown. Block-based environments such as Scratch offer a unique, data-rich setting to examine how emergent design problems intersect with the cultivation of computational-thinking (CT) skills. Objective. This research explores the connection between CT proficiency and design-level c…

Optimization of Flying Ad Hoc Network Topology and Collaborative Path Planning for Multiple UAVs
Multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) play a vital role in monitoring and data collection in wide area environments with harsh conditions. In most scenarios, issues such as real-time data retrieval and real-time UAV positioning are often disregarded, essentially neglecting the communication constraints. In this paper, we comprehensively address both the coverage of the target area and the data transmission capabilities of the flying ad hoc network (FANET). The data throughput of the network …

Modeling the uncertainty on the covariance matrix for probabilistic forecast reconciliation
In forecast reconciliation, the covariance matrix of the base forecasts errors plays a crucial role. Typically, this matrix is estimated, and then treated as known. In contrast, we propose a Bayesian reconciliation model that explicitly accounts for the uncertainty in the covariance matrix. We choose an Inverse-Wishart prior, which leads to a multivariate-t reconciled predictive distribution and allows a completely analytical derivation. Empirical experiments demonstrate that this approach impr…
