Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Feng Wang, Huiyu Wang, Chen Wei, Alan Yuille, Wei Shen | Summary: Recent advances in self-supervised contrastive learning yield good image-level representation, which favors classification tasks but usually neglects pixel-level detailed information, leading to unsatisfactory transfer performance to dense prediction tasks such as semantic segmentation. In this […]
Kavli Affiliate: Brian D. Nord | First 5 Authors: Apriel K Hodari, Shayna B Krammes, Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, Brian D Nord, Jessica N Esquivel | Summary: The Community Engagement Frontier presents this set of three white papers, as part of Snowmass 2021. These papers address critical issues — Power Dynamics in Physics, Informal Socialization in Physics […]
Kavli Affiliate: Brian D. Nord | First 5 Authors: Apriel K Hodari, Shayna B Krammes, Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, Brian D Nord, Jessica N Esquivel | Summary: This paper addresses issues related to the process of informal socialization into physics, particularly for senior graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. Many physicists’ careers are built on the relationships they […]
Kavli Affiliate: Brian D. Nord | First 5 Authors: Apriel K Hodari, Shayna B Krammes, Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, Brian D Nord, Jessica N Esquivel | Summary: The purpose of this white paper is to describe how unfair power dynamics related to various aspects of identity — race, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, and ability status […]
Kavli Affiliate: Brian D. Nord | First 5 Authors: Apriel K Hodari, Shayna B Krammes, Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, Brian D Nord, Jessica N Esquivel | Summary: The purpose of this white paper is to lay out the impacts of policing and gatekeeping in STEM, illustrated with lived experiences of scientists of color who are achieving despite […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Luis Ledezma, Arkadev Roy, Luis Costa, Ryoto Sekine, Robert Gray | Summary: Widely-tunable coherent sources in nanophotonics are desirable for a multitude of applications ranging from communications to sensing. The mid-infrared spectral region (wavelengths beyond 2 $mu$m) is particularly important because of applications related to molecular spectroscopy. […]
