Positive-Negative Equal Contrastive Loss for Semantic Segmentation

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jing Wang, Lingfei Xuan, Wenxuan Wang, Tianxiang Zhang, Jiangyun Li | Summary: The contextual information is critical for various computer vision tasks, previous works commonly design plug-and-play modules and structural losses to effectively extract and aggregate the global context. These methods utilize fine-label to optimize the model […]

The effect of obstacles near a silo outlet on the discharge of soft spheres

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jing Wang, Kirsten Harth, Dmitry Puzyrev, Ralf Stannarius, | Summary: Soft smooth particles in silo discharge show peculiar characteristics, including, for example, non-permanent clogging and intermittent flow. This paper describes a study of soft, low-frictional hydro-gel spheres in a quasi-2D silo. We enforce a more competitive behavior […]

Independent Evidence for earlier formation epochs of fossil groups of galaxies through the intracluster light: the case for RX J100742.53+380046.6

Kavli Affiliate: Eric Miller | First 5 Authors: Renato A. Dupke, Yolanda Jimenez-teja, Yuanyuan Su, Eleazar R. Carrasco, Anton M. Koekemoer | Summary: Fossil groups (FG) of galaxies still present a puzzle to theories of structure formation. Despite the low number of bright galaxies, they have relatively high velocity dispersions and ICM temperatures often corresponding […]

Hard X-ray emission from the eastern jet of SS 433 powering the W50 `Manatee’ nebula: Evidence for particle re-acceleration

Kavli Affiliate: Melania Nynka | First 5 Authors: Samar Safi-Harb, Brydyn Mac Intyre, Shuo Zhang, Isaac Pope, Shuhan Zhang | Summary: We present a broadband X-ray study of W50 (`the Manatee nebula’), the complex region powered by the microquasar SS 433, that provides a test-bed for several important astrophysical processes. The W50 nebula, a Galactic […]

Search for a dark photon and an invisible dark Higgs boson in $μ^+μ^-$ and missing energy final states with the Belle II experiment

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration, F. Abudinén, I. Adachi, L. Aggarwal, H. Aihara | Summary: The dark photon $A^prime$ and the dark Higgs boson $h^prime$ are hypothetical particles predicted in many dark sector models. We search for the simultaneous production of $A^prime$ and $h^prime$ in the dark Higgsstrahlung process […]

Poisson brackets in Sobolev spaces: a mock holonomy-flux algebra

Kavli Affiliate: J. S. Villasenor | First 5 Authors: J Fernando Barbero G, Marc Basquens, Bogar Díaz, Eduardo J S Villaseñor, | Summary: The purpose of this paper is to discuss a number of issues that crop up in the computation of Poisson brackets in field theories. This is specially important for the canonical approaches […]

Reading and Writing: Discriminative and Generative Modeling for Self-Supervised Text Recognition

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Mingkun Yang, Minghui Liao, Pu Lu, Jing Wang, Shenggao Zhu | Summary: Existing text recognition methods usually need large-scale training data. Most of them rely on synthetic training data due to the lack of annotated real images. However, there is a domain gap between the synthetic data […]
