Super LiDAR Reflectance for Robotic Perception

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Wei Gao, Wei Gao, , , | Summary: Conventionally, human intuition often defines vision as a modality of passive optical sensing, while active optical sensing is typically regarded as measuring rather than the default modality of vision. However, the situation now changes: sensor technologies and data-driven paradigms […]

Exploring the Equivalence of Closed-Set Generative and Real Data Augmentation in Image Classification

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Haowen Wang, Haowen Wang, , , | Summary: In this paper, we address a key scientific problem in machine learning: Given a training set for an image classification task, can we train a generative model on this dataset to enhance the classification performance? (i.e., closed-set generative data […]

A Unified Contrastive-Generative Framework for Time Series Classification

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Ziyu Liu, Ziyu Liu, , , | Summary: Self-supervised learning (SSL) for multivariate time series mainly includes two paradigms: contrastive methods that excel at instance discrimination and generative approaches that model data distributions. While effective individually, their complementary potential remains unexplored. We propose a Contrastive Generative Time […]

Orbital dependent Coulomb drag in electron-hole bilayer graphene heterostructures

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Zuocheng Zhang, Zuocheng Zhang, , , | Summary: We report Coulomb drag studies in an electron-hole bilayer graphene heterostructure in a magnetic field, where the orbital, spin, and valley degrees of freedom are lifted by the combined effects of exchange interaction, Zeeman energy, and vertical displacement field. […]

VertexRegen: Mesh Generation with Continuous Level of Detail

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Xiang Zhang, Xiang Zhang, , , | Summary: We introduce VertexRegen, a novel mesh generation framework that enables generation at a continuous level of detail. Existing autoregressive methods generate meshes in a partial-to-complete manner and thus intermediate steps of generation represent incomplete structures. VertexRegen takes inspiration from […]

Self-adjoint realizations of higher-order squeezing operators

Kavli Affiliate: Felix Fischer | First 5 Authors: Felix Fischer, Felix Fischer, , , | Summary: Higher-order squeezing captures non-Gaussian features of quantum light by probing moments of the field beyond the variance, and is associated with operators involving nonlinear combinations of creation and annihilation operators. Here we study a class of operators of the […]

Finite-dimensional approximations of generalized squeezing

Kavli Affiliate: Felix Fischer | First 5 Authors: Sahel Ashhab, Sahel Ashhab, , , | Summary: We show unexpected behaviour in simulations of generalized squeezing performed with finite-dimensional truncations of the Fock space: even for extremely large dimension of the state space, the results depend on whether the truncation dimension is even or odd. This […]

Derivation from classical Majorana–Bloch equation to quantum von Neumann equation for any angular momenta in coherent states

Kavli Affiliate: Lihong V. Wang | First 5 Authors: Lihong V. Wang, Lihong V. Wang, , , | Summary: After publishing the derivation from the classical Bloch equation to the quantum von Neumann equation to the Schr"odinger–Pauli equation for spin-1/2, we proposed renaming the Bloch equation to the Majorana–Bloch equation because Majorana’s work predated Bloch’s […]
