Epidemic Management and Control Through Risk-Dependent Individual Contact Interventions

Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Tapio Schneider, Oliver R. A. Dunbar, Jinlong Wu, Lucas Böttcher, Dmitry Burov | Summary: Testing, contact tracing, and isolation (TTI) is an epidemic management and control approach that is difficult to implement at scale. Here we demonstrate a scalable improvement to TTI that uses data assimilation (DA) […]

Transient Performance Analysis of the $ell_1$-RLS

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Wei Gao, Jie Chen, Cédric Richard, Wentao Shi, Qunfei Zhang | Summary: The recursive least-squares algorithm with $ell_1$-norm regularization ($ell_1$-RLS) exhibits excellent performance in terms of convergence rate and steady-state error in identification of sparse systems. Nevertheless few works have studied its stochastic behavior, in particular its […]

Snell’s Law for Gliders

Kavli Affiliate: Paul W. K. Rothemund | First 5 Authors: Tyler D. Ross, Dino Osmanović, John F. Brady, Paul W. K. Rothemund, | Summary: Snell’s law, which encompasses both refraction and total internal reflection, provides the foundation for ray optics and all lens-based instruments, from microscopes to telescopes. Refraction results when light crosses the interface […]

Discretization of Annular-Ring Diffraction Pattern for Large-Scale Photonics Beamforming

Kavli Affiliate: Ali Hajimiri | First 5 Authors: Aroutin Khachaturian, Reza Fatemi, Artsroun Darbinian, Ali Hajimiri, | Summary: A solid-state active beamformer based on the annular-ring diffraction pattern is proposed for an integrated photonic platform. Such a circularly symmetric annular-ring aperture achieves radiating element limited FOV. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that a multi-annular-ring aperture with […]

Event Extraction by Associating Event Types and Argument Roles

Kavli Affiliate: Lihong Wang | First 5 Authors: Qian Li, Shu Guo, Jia Wu, Jianxin Li, Jiawei Sheng | Summary: Event extraction (EE), which acquires structural event knowledge from texts, can be divided into two sub-tasks: event type classification and element extraction (namely identifying triggers and arguments under different role patterns). As different event types […]
