Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: Ying-Tian Liu, Zhifei Zhang, Yuan-Chen Guo, Matthew Fisher, Zhaowen Wang | Summary: Automatic generation of fonts can be an important aid to typeface design. Many current approaches regard glyphs as pixelated images, which present artifacts when scaling and inevitable quality losses after vectorization. On the other hand, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Yi Zhou, Dingpeng Liao, Kun Zhang, Zijie Ma, Shikai Wu | Summary: The far-field resolution of optical imaging systems is restricted by the Abbe diffraction limit, a direct result of the wave nature of light. One successful technological approach to circumventing this limit is to reduce the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Felix Fischer | First 5 Authors: Javier Cembrano, Felix Fischer, Max Klimm, , | Summary: We give new bounds for the single-nomination model of impartial selection, a problem proposed by Holzman and Moulin (Econometrica, 2013). A selection mechanism, which may be randomized, selects one individual from a group of $n$ based on nominations […]

Kavli Affiliate: Dan Luo | First 5 Authors: Dan Luo, Lixin Zou, Qingyao Ai, Zhiyu Chen, Chenliang Li | Summary: The goal of unbiased learning to rank (ULTR) is to leverage implicit user feedback for optimizing learning-to-rank systems. Among existing solutions, automatic ULTR algorithms that jointly learn user bias models (i.e., propensity models) with unbiased […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Calvin Preston, Alexandra Amon, George Efstathiou, , | Summary: Weak galaxy lensing surveys have consistently reported low values of the $S_8$ parameter compared to the $textit{Planck} Lambdarm{CDM}$ cosmology. Amon & Efstathiou (2022) used KiDS-1000 cosmic shear measurements to propose that this tension can be reconciled if the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | First 5 Authors: Nicholas Choustikov, Zvonimir Vlah, Anthony Challinor, , | Summary: Perturbation theory is a powerful tool for studying large-scale structure formation in the universe and calculating observables such as the power spectrum or bispectrum. However, beyond linear order, typically this is done by assuming a simplification in the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Yan-Qi Wang, Michał Papaj, Joel E. Moore, , | Summary: Gapless helical edge modes are a hallmark of the quantum spin Hall effect. Protected by time-reversal symmetry, each edge contributes a quantized zero-temperature conductance quantum $G_0 equiv e^2/h$. However, the experimentally observed conductance in WTe$_2$ decreases […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Yongli Zhu, Xiang Zhang, Renchang Dai | Summary: This paper proposes an electronic circuit simulator-based method to accelerate the power system transient simulation, where the modeling of a generic HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) system is focused. The electronic circuit simulation equations and the backward differentiation formula […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Ruoqi Wang, Zhuoyang Chen, Qiong Luo, Feng Wang, | Summary: In radio astronomy, signals from radio telescopes are transformed into images of observed celestial objects, or sources. However, these images, called dirty images, contain real sources as well as artifacts due to signal sparsity and other factors. […]
