The Simons Observatory: Studies of Detector Yield and Readout Noise From the First Large-Scale Deployment of Microwave Multiplexing at the Large Aperture Telescope

Posted by dbos Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Thomas P. Satterthwaite, Zeeshan Ahmed, Kyuyoung Bae, Mark Devlin, Simon Dicker | Summary: The Simons Observatory is a new ground-based cosmic microwave background experiment, which is currently being commissioned in Chile’s Atacama Desert. During its survey, the observatory’s small aperture telescopes will map 10% of the sky […]

Non-Asymptotic Analysis for Single-Loop (Natural) Actor-Critic with Compatible Function Approximation

Posted by dbos UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Yudan Wang, Yue Wang, Yi Zhou, Shaofeng Zou, | Summary: Actor-critic (AC) is a powerful method for learning an optimal policy in reinforcement learning, where the critic uses algorithms, e.g., temporal difference (TD) learning with function approximation, to evaluate the current policy and the actor updates the […]

Variational time reversal for free energy estimation in nonequilibrium steady states

Posted by dbos Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Jorge L. Rosa-Raíces, David T. Limmer, , , | Summary: Studying the structure of systems in nonequilibrium steady states necessitates tools that quantify population shifts and associated deformations of equilibrium free energy landscapes under persistent currents. Within the framework of stochastic thermodynamics, we establish a variant […]

LLM and GNN are Complementary: Distilling LLM for Multimodal Graph Learning

Posted by dbos Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Junjie Xu, Zongyu Wu, Minhua Lin, Xiang Zhang, Suhang Wang | Summary: Recent progress in Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) has greatly enhanced the ability to model complex molecular structures for predicting properties. Nevertheless, molecular data encompasses more than just graph structures, including textual and visual information that […]

A high-velocity star recently ejected by an intermediate-mass black hole in M15

Posted by dbos Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | First 5 Authors: Yang Huang, Qingzheng Li, Jifeng Liu, Xiaobo Dong, Huawei Zhang | Summary: The existence of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) is crucial for understanding various astrophysical phenomena, yet their existence remains elusive, except for the LIGO-Virgo detection. We report the discovery of a high-velocity star J0731+3717, whose backward […]
