Robust and Accurate Authorship Attribution via Program Normalization

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Yizhen Wang, Mohannad Alhanahnah, Ke Wang, Mihai Christodorescu, Somesh Jha | Summary: Source code attribution approaches have achieved remarkable accuracy thanks to the rapid advances in deep learning. However, recent studies shed light on their vulnerability to adversarial attacks. In particular, they can be easily deceived by […]

Correlating surface energy with adsorption energy by means of intrinsic characteristics of substrates

Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li | First 5 Authors: Bo Li, Xin Li, Wang Gao, Qing Jiang, | Summary: Surface energy is fundamental in controlling surface properties and surface-driven processes like heterogeneous catalysis, as adsorption energy is. It is thus crucial to establish an effective scheme to determine surface energy and its relation with adsorption […]

Ultrafast coherent control of a hole spin qubit in a germanium quantum dot

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, Gang Xu, Fei Gao, He Liu, Rong-Long Ma | Summary: Operation speed and coherence time are two core measures for the viability of a qubit. Strong spin-orbit interaction (SOI) and relatively weak hyperfine interaction make holes in germanium (Ge) intriguing candidates for spin qubits with […]

The ASAS-SN Catalog of Variable Stars IX: The Spectroscopic Properties of Galactic Variable Stars

Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: T. Jayasinghe, C. S. Kochanek, K. Z. Stanek, B. J. Shappee, T. W. -S. Holoien | Summary: The All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) provides long baseline (${sim}4$ yrs) $V-$band light curves for sources brighter than V$lesssim17$ mag across the whole sky. We produced V-band light curves […]

Mass loss from massive globular clusters in tidal fields

Kavli Affiliate: Rainer Spurzem | First 5 Authors: Yohai Meiron, Jeremy J. Webb, Jongsuk Hong, Peter Berczik, Rainer Spurzem | Summary: Massive globular clusters lose stars via internal and external processes. Internal processes include mainly two-body relaxation, while external processes include interactions with the Galactic tidal field. We perform a suite of N-body simulations of […]

Dynamical evolution of cosmic supermassive binary black holes and their gravitational wave radiation

Kavli Affiliate: Qingjuan Yu | First 5 Authors: Yunfeng Chen, Qingjuan Yu, Youjun Lu, , | Summary: We investigate the evolution of supermassive binary black holes (BBHs) in galaxies with realistic property distributions and the gravitational-wave (GW) radiation from the cosmic population of these BBHs. We incorporate a comprehensive treatment of the dynamical interactions of […]

The geometry and environment of repeating FRBs

Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Shuang Du, Weihua Wang, Xuhao Wu, Renxin Xu, | Summary: We propose a geometrical explanation for periodically and nonperiodically repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) under neutron star (NS)-companion systems. We suggest a constant critical binary separation, $r_{rm c}$, within which the interaction between the NS and companion […]

Radiative Transfer modeling of EC 53: An Episodically Accreting Class I Young Stellar Object

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Giseon Baek, Benjamin A. MacFarlane, Jeong-Eun Lee, Dimitris Stamatellos, Gregory Herczeg | Summary: In the episodic accretion scenario, a large fraction of the protostellar mass accretes during repeated and large bursts of accretion. Since outbursts on protostars are typically identified at specific wavelengths, interpreting these outbursts requires […]

Dendrite Net: A White-Box Module for Classification, Regression, and System Identification

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Gang Liu, Jing Wang, , , | Summary: The simulation of biological dendrite computations is vital for the development of artificial intelligence (AI). This paper presents a basic machine learning algorithm, named Dendrite Net or DD, just like Support Vector Machine (SVM) or Multilayer Perceptron (MLP). DD’s […]

On the Optimal Feedback Law in Stochastic Optimal Nonlinear Control

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Mohamed Naveed Gul Mohamed, Suman Chakravorty, Raman Goyal, Ran Wang, | Summary: We consider the problem of nonlinear stochastic optimal control. This problem is thought to be fundamentally intractable owing to Bellman’s infamous "curse of dimensionality". We present a result that shows that repeatedly solving an open-loop […]
