Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | First 5 Authors: Cheng Liu, Rolf-Peter Kudritzki, Gang Zhao, Miguel A. Urbaneja, Yang Huang | Summary: Low-resolution LAMOST and Keck spectra of blue supergiant stars distributed over the disks of the Local Group spiral galaxies M 31 and M 33 are analyzed to determine stellar effective temperatures, gravities, metallicities, and […]

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Zihang Wang, Lijing Shao, , , | Summary: The cosmological constant is not necessarily small in the early universe. If a scalar field obtains a vacuum expectation value after a phase transition (PT), a possibly large cosmological constant could present before PT. The early cosmological constant (ECC) […]

Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Andrew Gould, Youn Kil Jung, Kyu-Ha Hwang, Subo Dong, Michael D. Albrow | Summary: We complete the survey for finite-source/point-lens (FSPL) giant-source events in 2016-2019 KMTNet microlensing data. The 30 FSPL events show a clear gap in Einstein radius, $9,mu{rm as}<theta_{rm E} <26,mu{rm as}$, which is consistent […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Wenhui Ren, Weikang Li, Shibo Xu, Ke Wang, Wenjie Jiang | Summary: Quantum computing promises to enhance machine learning and artificial intelligence. Different quantum algorithms have been proposed to improve a wide spectrum of machine learning tasks. Yet, recent theoretical works show that, similar to traditional classifiers […]

Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li | First 5 Authors: Qiuhong Shen, Lei Qiao, Jinyang Guo, Peixia Li, Xin Li | Summary: Unsupervised learning has been popular in various computer vision tasks, including visual object tracking. However, prior unsupervised tracking approaches rely heavily on spatial supervision from template-search pairs and are still unable to track objects […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Jianan Li, Bram P. Venemans, Fabian Walter, Roberto Decarli, Ran Wang | Summary: We present high spatial resolution (0.4", 2.2kpc) observations of the CO(6-5), CO(7-6) and [CI] lines and dust continuum emission from the interstellar medium in the host galaxy of the quasar J0305$-$3150 at $z=6.6$. These, […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Yao Yao, Bin Liu, Haoxun He, Dakui Sheng, Ke Wang | Summary: Input features play a crucial role in the predictive performance of DNN-based industrial recommender systems with thousands of categorical and continuous fields from users, items, contexts, and their interactions. Noisy features and inappropriate embedding dimension […]

Kavli Affiliate: Pau Amaro Seoane | First 5 Authors: Robert Stein, Simeon Reusch, Anna Franckowiak, Marek Kowalski, Jannis Necker | Summary: The Zwicky Transient Transient Facility (ZTF) performs a systematic neutrino follow-up program, searching for optical counterparts to high-energy neutrinos with dedicated Target-of-Opportunity (ToO) observations. Since first light in March 2018, ZTF has taken prompt […]
