Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Haoze He, Jing Wang, Anna Choromanska, , | Summary: This work focuses on the decentralized deep learning optimization framework. We propose Adjacent Leader Decentralized Gradient Descent (AL-DSGD), for improving final model performance, accelerating convergence, and reducing the communication overhead of decentralized deep learning optimizers. AL-DSGD relies on […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Bibek Bhandari, Irwin Huang, Ahmed Hajr, Kagan Yanik, Bingcheng Qing | Summary: Kerr-cat qubits are bosonic qubits with autonomous protection against bit-flips. They have been studied widely using driven Superconducting Nonlinear Asymmetric Inductive eLement (SNAIL) oscillators. We theoretically investigate an alternate circuit for the Kerr-cat qubit, namely […]

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Samuele Ronchini, Suman Bala, Joshua Wood, James Delaunay, Simone Dichiara | Summary: GW230529 is the first compact binary coalescence detected by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration with at least one component mass confidently in the lower mass-gap, corresponding to the range 3-5$M_{odot}$. If interpreted as a neutron star-black hole […]

Kavli Affiliate: Linhua Jiang | First 5 Authors: Linhua Jiang, Shuqi Fu, Feige Wang, Sarah E. I. Bosman, Zheng Cai | Summary: We present constraints on the spacetime variation of the fine-structure constant $alpha$ at redshifts $3<z<10$ using JWST emission-line galaxies. The galaxy sample consists of 572 high-quality spectra with strong and narrow [O III] […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, Nikolaos Dimitriadis, Guillermo Ortiz-Jimenez, François Fleuret, Pascal Frossard | Summary: Model merging and task arithmetic have emerged as promising scalable approaches to merge multiple single-task checkpoints to one multi-task model, but their applicability is reduced by significant performance loss. Previous works have linked these drops […]

Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li | First 5 Authors: Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Q. An, Axikegu, Y. X. Bai | Summary: The first source catalog of Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory reported the detection of a very-high-energy gamma ray source, 1LHAASO J1219+2915. In this paper a further detailed study of the spectral and temporal […]
