AutoDrop: Training Deep Learning Models with Automatic Learning Rate Drop

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Yunfei Teng, Jing Wang, Anna Choromanska, , | Summary: Modern deep learning (DL) architectures are trained using variants of the SGD algorithm that is run with a $textit{manually}$ defined learning rate schedule, i.e., the learning rate is dropped at the pre-defined epochs, typically when the training loss […]

Detection of a Parsec-Scale Jet in a Radio-Quiet Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxy with Highly Accreting Supermassive Black Hole

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Su Yao, Xiaolong Yang, Minfeng Gu, Tao An, Jun Yang | Summary: The jet in active galactic nuclei (AGN) is a key ingredient in understanding the co-evolution of galaxies and their central supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Unfortunately, the mechanism of jet launching and collimation is still elusive. […]

Evidence for the connection between star formation rate and evolutionary phases of quasars

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Zhifu Chen, Zhicheng He, Luis C. Ho, Qiusheng Gu, Tinggui Wang | Summary: Both theory and observations suggest that outflows driven by an active central supermassive black hole (SMBH) has a feedback effect on shaping the global properties of the host galaxy. However, whether feedback from […]

Large deviation principle for stochastic generalized Ginzburg-Landau equation driven by jump noise

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Ran Wang, Beibei Zhang, , , | Summary: In this paper, we establish a large deviation principle for the stochastic generalized Ginzburg-Landau equation driven by jump noise. The main difficulties come from the highly non-linear coefficient. Here we adopt a new sufficient condition for the weak convergence […]

Inspiraling Corrugation-Induced Quantum Effects on Neutron Star Binary Plane

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jing Wang, , , , | Summary: We use the path-integral formula and investigate some dynamical quantum effects induced by the inspiraling lateral corrugation of orbital plane in gravitationally bound neutron star (NS) binaries, with orbital separation of $10^9$ m. Based on Dewitt’s approach, we calculate the […]
