InferGrad: Improving Diffusion Models for Vocoder by Considering Inference in Training

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Zehua Chen, Xu Tan, Ke Wang, Shifeng Pan, Danilo Mandic | Summary: Denoising diffusion probabilistic models (diffusion models for short) require a large number of iterations in inference to achieve the generation quality that matches or surpasses the state-of-the-art generative models, which invariably results in slow inference […]

Emergence of Crystalline Few-body Correlations in Mass-imbalanced Fermi Polarons

Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Ruijin Liu, Cheng Peng, Xiaoling Cui, , | Summary: Identifying few-body correlations is an efficient tool to solve complex many-body problems. Polarons, interpolating between few- and many-body systems, serve as an ideal platform to achieve the goal. In this work, we reveal the emergence of various crystalline […]

On Unbalanced Optimal Transport: Gradient Methods, Sparsity and Approximation Error

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Quang Minh Nguyen, Hoang H. Nguyen, Yi Zhou, Lam M. Nguyen, | Summary: We study the Unbalanced Optimal Transport (UOT) between two measures of possibly different masses with at most $n$ components, where the marginal constraints of standard Optimal Transport (OT) are relaxed via Kullback-Leibler divergence with […]

Exceptional dynamics of interacting spin liquids

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Kang Yang, Daniel Varjas, Emil J. Bergholtz, Sid Morampudi, Frank Wilczek | Summary: We show that interactions in quantum spin liquids can result in non-Hermitian phenomenology that differs qualitatively from mean-field expectations. We demonstrate this in two prominent cases through the effects of phonons and disorder on […]

Revisiting the Dark Matter Interpretation of Excess Rates in Semiconductors

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Peter Abbamonte, Daniel Baxter, Yonatan Kahn, Gordan Krnjaic, Noah Kurinsky | Summary: In light of recent results from low-threshold dark matter detectors, we revisit the possibility of a common dark matter origin for multiple excesses across numerous direct detection experiments, with a focus on the excess rates […]
