Graph neural networks for learning liquid simulations in dynamic scenes containing kinematic objects
Simulating particle dynamics with high fidelity is crucial for solving real-world interaction and control tasks involving liquids in design, graphics, and robotics. Recently, data-driven approaches, particularly those based on graph neural networks (GNNs), have shown progress in tackling such problems. However, these approaches are often limited to learning fluid behavior in static free-fall environments or simple manipulation settings involving primitive objects, often overlooking complex inte…

Octave Spanning Visible to SWIR Integrated Coil-Stabilized Brillouin Lasers
Narrow linewidth stabilized lasers are central to precision applications that operate across the visible to short-wave infrared wavelengths, including optical clocks, quantum sensing and computing, ultra-low noise microwave generation, and fiber sensing. Today, these spectrally pure sources are realized using multiple external cavity tabletop lasers locked to bulk-optic free-space reference cavities. Integration of this technology will enable portable precision applications with improved reliab…

#SanFrancisco and #BayArea folks, I'm going to talk about fighting #censorship at the August 20th Nerd Nite San Francisco! Help spread the word and hope to see some of you there!

TIL that Arab people are considered “White” because U.S. laws have been and are always messed up. Enjoy.

Extraction of Physical Parameters of RRab Variables using Neural Network based Interpolator
Determining the physical parameters of pulsating variable stars such as RR Lyrae is essential for understanding their internal structure, pulsation mechanisms, and evolutionary state. In this study, we present a machine learning framework that uses feedforward artificial neural networks (ANNs) to infer stellar parameters-mass ($M$), luminosity (log($L/L_\odot$)), effective temperature (log($T_{\rm eff}$)), and metallicity ($Z$)-directly from Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) light cu…
