Quadratic computations maintain neural specificity to natural stimuli across stages of visual processing

Kavli Affiliate: Tatyana Sharpee | Authors: Ryan J. Rowekamp and Tatyana Sharpee | Summary: Abstract Despite recent successes in machine vision, artificial recognition systems continue to be less robust than biological systems. The brittleness of artificial recognition system has been attributed to the linearity of the core operation that matches inputs to target patterns at […]

Radiation from Global Topological Strings using Adaptive Mesh Refinement: Massive Modes

Kavli Affiliate: E. P. S. Shellard | First 5 Authors: Amelia Drew, E. P. S. Shellard, , , | Summary: We implement adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) simulations of global topological strings using the public code, GRChombo. We perform a quantitative investigation of massive radiation from single sinusoidally displaced string configurations, studying a range of string […]

Soliton generation in AlGaAs microresonators at room temperature

Kavli Affiliate: Kerry J. Vahala | First 5 Authors: Lue Wu, Weiqiang Xie, Chao Xiang, Lin Chang, Yan Yu | Summary: Chip-integrated optical frequency combs are attractive optical sources in comb applications requiring high-repetition-rate, low power consumption, or compact size. Spontaneous soliton formation via Kerr parametric oscillation is a promising generation principle in these frequency […]

RenderDiffusion: Image Diffusion for 3D Reconstruction, Inpainting and Generation

Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: Titas Anciukevicius, Zexiang Xu, Matthew Fisher, Paul Henderson, Hakan Bilen | Summary: Diffusion models currently achieve state-of-the-art performance for both conditional and unconditional image generation. However, so far, image diffusion models do not support tasks required for 3D understanding, such as view-consistent 3D generation or single-view object […]

Beating ringdowns of near-degenerate mechanical resonances

Kavli Affiliate: Simon Groblacher | First 5 Authors: Matthijs H. J. de Jong, Andrea Cupertino, Dongil Shin, Simon Gröblacher, Farbod Alijani | Summary: Mechanical resonators that possess coupled modes with harmonic frequency relations have recently sparked interest due to their suitability for controllable energy transfer and non-Hermitian dynamics. Here, we show coupling between high Q-factor […]
