Breaking the Baryon Density$\unicode{x2013}$Hubble Constant Degeneracy in Fast Radio Burst Applications with Associated Gravitational Waves
Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are a unique probe of the cosmos, owing to dispersion caused by free electrons in the intergalactic medium (IGM). Two of the main quantities of interest are degenerate: the density of matter $Ω_\mathrm{b}f_\mathrm{d}$ outside of galaxies and the Hubble constant $H_0$. Here, we present a new possibility of breaking the degeneracy without invoking early Universe priors on $Ω_\mathrm{b}$. Assuming some FRBs originate in compact object mergers, the combination of dispersi…

Landmark-Assisted Monte Carlo Planning
Landmarks$\unicode{x2013}$conditions that must be satisfied at some point in every solution plan$\unicode{x2013}$have contributed to major advancements in classical planning, but they have seldom been used in stochastic domains. We formalize probabilistic landmarks and adapt the UCT algorithm to leverage them as subgoals to decompose MDPs; core to the adaptation is balancing between greedy landmark achievement and final goal achievement. Our results in benchmark domains show that well-chosen la…

Why Data Anonymization Has Not Taken Off
Companies are looking to data anonymization research $\unicode{x2013}$ including differential private and synthetic data methods $\unicode{x2013}$ for simple and straightforward compliance solutions. But data anonymization has not taken off in practice because it is anything but simple to implement. For one, it requires making complex choices which are case dependent, such as the domain of the dataset to anonymize; the units to protect; the scope where the data protection should extend to; and …

New probes of nuclear gluon dynamics through photoproduction of charm in inelastic ultra-peripheral Pb$\unicode{x2014}$Pb collisions with ALICE

New probes of nuclear gluon dynamics through photoproduction of charm in inelastic ultra-peripheral Pb$\unicode{x2014}$Pb collisions with ALICE
In an ultra-peripheral collision, a photon can interact with a gluon in the target nucleus and produce a pair of charm quarks, while the target nucleus breaks up (inelastic scattering). These charm quarks then fragment and are observed as open charm hadrons or vector mesons. This process has been used in e$\unicode{x2014}$p collisions to set stringent limits on the proton gluon distribution at low-$x$. The current measurements can provide similar constraints on the much less known nuclear gluon…

From virtual Z gates to virtual Z pulses
Virtual $Z$ gates have become integral for implementing fast, high-fidelity single-qubit operations. However, virtual $Z$ gates require that the system's two-qubit gates are microwave-activated or normalise the single-qubit $Z$ rotations$\unicode{x2014}$the group generated by $X$, $\operatorname{SWAP}$, and arbitrary phase gates. Herein, we extend the theory of virtual $Z$ gates to the pulse-level, which underlies both gate design and the recent advancements of pulse-level quantum algorithms. T…

«Unicode is good. If you’re designing a data structure or protocol that has text fields, they should contain #Unicode characters encoded in #UTF8. There’s another question, though: “Which Unicode characters?” The answer is “Not all of them, please exclude some.”
This issue keeps coming up, so [

A few days back I tweeted and blogged about the brand-new RFC 9839, and also published the first draft of tiny Go library to help enforce the subsets defined in the RFC. Got lots of useful input on the library and have progressed it enough to do a v0.8.0 release: https://github.com/timbray/rfc9839…

Honestly, #emoji and icons in #Unicode are a true horror.
Yeah, sure. It's great that you don't have to use <img/> anymore and you can just paste a random Unicode character. You can get graphics into fields where only text was originally intended (like bug summaries). Even better, you can now easily get cool colorful icons on terminal with almost no effort.
However, it is an #accessibility nightmare. People are now encoding *information* in random graphical symbols. Symbols that require huge fonts to render, or huge character tables to describe.
Yeah, a bare <img/> carrying information sucks. However, you can add a *meaningful* alt-text to the image, and accessibility tools can use that text to provide meaningful context. Like "bug fix".
However, emojis and icons are symbolic. The best you can get is some description like "hammer and wrench", so people can kinda figure out that it's probably a "bug fix". Or maybe it was a "maintenance task"? Or you'll get a "unknown character 0x1F6E0". And I'm sure people will surely enjoy cross-referencing a "legend" of such "unknown characters".

Computable Bounds for Strong Approximations with Applications
The Komlós$\unicode{x2013}$Major$\unicode{x2013}$Tusnády (KMT) inequality for partial sums is one of the most celebrated results in probability theory. Yet its practical application is hindered by its dependence on unknown constants. This paper addresses this limitation for bounded i.i.d. random variables. At the cost of an additional logarithmic factor, we propose a computable version of the KMT inequality that depends only on the variables' range and standard deviation. We also derive an em…

Two complementary approaches are employed: a two-time-variable expansion of the Smoluchowski equation is used to faci…

The Five Safes as a Privacy Context
The Five Safes is a framework used by national statistical offices (NSO) for assessing and managing the disclosure risk of data sharing. This paper makes two points: Firstly, the Five Safes can be understood as a specialization of a broader concept $\unicode{x2013}$ contextual integrity $\unicode{x2013}$ to the situation of statistical dissemination by an NSO. We demonstrate this by mapping the five parameters of contextual integrity onto the five dimensions of the Five Safes. Secondly, the Fiv…

Imperceptible Jailbreaking against Large Language Models
Jailbreaking attacks on the vision modality typically rely on imperceptible adversarial perturbations, whereas attacks on the textual modality are generally assumed to require visible modifications (e.g., non-semantic suffixes). In this paper, we introduce imperceptible jailbreaks that exploit a class of Unicode characters called variation selectors. By appending invisible variation selectors to malicious questions, the jailbreak prompts appear visually identical to original malicious questions…

Gamma-Convergence of Convex Functions, Conjugates, and Subdifferentials
This work establishes dual and subdifferential characterizations of Unicode (Γ)-convergence for sequences of proper convex lower semicontinuous functions in weakly compactly generated Banach spaces. It is shown that such a sequence Unicode (Γ)-converges in the strong topology to a limit function if and only if the sequence of conjugates Unicode (Γ)-converges in the $w^*$-topology to the Fenchel conjugate. It is further proved that both conditions are equivalent to the graphical convergence o…
