Diff3DS: Generating View-Consistent 3D Sketch via Differentiable Curve Rendering

Kavli Affiliate: Lihong Wang | First 5 Authors: Yibo Zhang, Lihong Wang, Changqing Zou, Tieru Wu, Rui Ma | Summary: 3D sketches are widely used for visually representing the 3D shape and structure of objects or scenes. However, the creation of 3D sketch often requires users to possess professional artistic skills. Existing research efforts primarily […]

NIVeL: Neural Implicit Vector Layers for Text-to-Vector Generation

Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: Vikas Thamizharasan, Difan Liu, Matthew Fisher, Nanxuan Zhao, Evangelos Kalogerakis | Summary: The success of denoising diffusion models in representing rich data distributions over 2D raster images has prompted research on extending them to other data representations, such as vector graphics. Unfortunately due to their variable structure […]

FreezeAsGuard: Mitigating Illegal Adaptation of Diffusion Models via Selective Tensor Freezing

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Kai Huang, Wei Gao, , , | Summary: Text-to-image diffusion models can be fine-tuned in custom domains to adapt to specific user preferences, but such unconstrained adaptability has also been utilized for illegal purposes, such as forging public figures’ portraits and duplicating copyrighted artworks. Most existing work […]

The generalized 4-connectivity of godan graphs

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jing Wang, Jiang Wu, Yuanqiu Huang, Zhangdong Ouyang, | Summary: The generalized $k$-connectivity of a graph $G$, denoted by $kappa_k(G)$, is the minimum number of internally edge disjoint $S$-trees for any $Ssubseteq V(G)$ and $|S|=k$. The generalized $k$-connectivity is a natural extension of the classical connectivity and […]

Diffuse Boosted Cosmic Neutrino Background

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Gonzalo Herrera, Shunsaku Horiuchi, Xiaolin Qi, , | Summary: Energetic cosmic rays scatter off the cosmic neutrino background throughout the history of the Universe, yielding a diffuse flux of cosmic relic neutrinos boosted to high energies. We calculate this flux under different assumptions of the cosmic-ray flux […]

Interaction-induced strong zero modes in short quantum dot chains with time-reversal symmetry

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: A. Mert Bozkurt, Sebastian Miles, Sebastiaan L. D. ten Haaf, Chun-Xiao Liu, Fabian Hassler | Summary: We theoretically explore the emergence of strong zero modes in a two-site chain consisting of two quantum dots coupled due to a central dot that mediates electron hopping and singlet superconducting […]

The Supersonic Project: Early Star Formation with the Streaming Velocity

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: William Lake, Claire E. Williams, Smadar Naoz, Federico Marinacci, Blakesley Burkhart | Summary: At high redshifts ($zgtrsim12$), the relative velocity between baryons and dark matter (the so-called streaming velocity) significantly affects star formation in low-mass objects. Streaming substantially reduces the abundance of low-mass gas objects while simultaneously […]
