Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Ren Yang, Radu Timofte, Jing Liu, Yi Xu, Xinjian Zhang | Summary: This paper reviews the first NTIRE challenge on quality enhancement of compressed video, with a focus on the proposed methods and results. In this challenge, the new Large-scale Diverse Video (LDV) dataset is employed. The […]
Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Wei Yan, Ryan C. Hickox, Chien-Ting J. Chen, Claudio Ricci, Alberto Masini | Summary: In active galactic nuclei (AGN), fluorescent Fe K$alpha$ (iron) line emission is generally interpreted as originating from obscuring material around a supermassive black hole (SMBH) on the scale of a few parsecs (pc). […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Djuna Croon, Eleanor Hall, Hitoshi Murayama, , | Summary: We propose a simple non-perturbative formalism for false vacuum decay using functional methods. We introduce the quasi-stationary effective action, a bounce action that non-perturbatively incorporates radiative corrections and is robust to strong couplings. The quasi-stationary effective action obeys […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anton R. Akhmerov | First 5 Authors: Pablo M. Perez-Piskunow, Nicandro Bovenzi, Anton R. Akhmerov, Maxim Breitkreiz, | Summary: In Weyl semimetals the application of parallel electric and magnetic fields leads to valley polarization — an occupation disbalance of valleys of opposite chirality — a direct consequence of the chiral anomaly. In this […]
Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Anthony R. Poggioli, David T. Limmer, , , | Summary: Despite essentially identical crystallography and equilibrium structuring of water, nanoscopic channels composed of hexagonal boron nitride and graphite exhibit an order-of-magnitude difference in fluid slip. We investigate this difference using molecular dynamics simulations, demonstrating that its […]
Kavli Affiliate: Herre S. J. Van Der Zant | First 5 Authors: Makars Šiškins, Samer Kurdi, Martin Lee, Benjamin J. M. Slotboom, Wenyu Xing | Summary: Two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials with strong magnetostriction are interesting systems for strain-tuning the magnetization, enabling potential for realizing spintronic and nanomagnetic devices. Realizing this potential requires understanding of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jacqueline N. Hewitt | First 5 Authors: James E. Aguirre, Steven G. Murray, Robert Pascua, Zachary E. Martinot, Jacob Burba | Summary: We describe the validation of the HERA Phase I software pipeline by a series of modular tests, building up to an end-to-end simulation. The philosophy of this approach is to validate […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Yihang Yin, Siyu Huang, Xiang Zhang, , | Summary: Deep neural networks (DNNs) have shown superior performances on various multimodal learning problems. However, it often requires huge efforts to adapt DNNs to individual multimodal tasks by manually engineering unimodal features and designing multimodal feature fusion strategies. This […]
Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | First 5 Authors: Jean-Loup Ville, Alexis Morvan, Akel Hashim, Ravi K. Naik, Marie Lu | Summary: The success of the current generation of Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) hardware shows that quantum hardware may be able to tackle complex problems even without error correction. One outstanding issue is that of coherent […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert J. Wood | First 5 Authors: Jacob Andreas, Gašper Beguš, Michael M. Bronstein, Roee Diamant, Denley Delaney | Summary: The past decade has witnessed a groundbreaking rise of machine learning for human language analysis, with current methods capable of automatically accurately recovering various aspects of syntax and semantics – including sentence structure […]
