JWST-TST DREAMS: Non-Uniform Dayside Emission for WASP-17b from MIRI/LRS

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Daniel Valentine, Hannah R. Wakeford, Ryan C. Challener, Natasha E. Batalha, Nikole K. Lewis | Summary: We present the first spectroscopic characterisation of the dayside atmosphere of WASP-17b in the mid-infrared using a single JWST MIRI/LRS eclipse observation. From forward-model fits to the 5-12 $mu$m emission spectrum, […]

Distribution Guidance Network for Weakly Supervised Point Cloud Semantic Segmentation

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Zhiyi Pan, Wei Gao, Shan Liu, Ge Li, | Summary: Despite alleviating the dependence on dense annotations inherent to fully supervised methods, weakly supervised point cloud semantic segmentation suffers from inadequate supervision signals. In response to this challenge, we introduce a novel perspective that imparts auxiliary constraints […]

Generalization from Starvation: Hints of Universality in LLM Knowledge Graph Learning

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: David D. Baek, Yuxiao Li, Max Tegmark, , | Summary: Motivated by interpretability and reliability, we investigate how neural networks represent knowledge during graph learning, We find hints of universality, where equivalent representations are learned across a range of model sizes (from $10^2$ to $10^9$ parameters) and […]
