Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: Ta-Ying Cheng, Matheus Gadelha, Thibault Groueix, Matthew Fisher, Radomir Mech | Summary: Current controls over diffusion models (e.g., through text or ControlNet) for image generation fall short in recognizing abstract, continuous attributes like illumination direction or non-rigid shape change. In this paper, we present an approach for […]
Kavli Affiliate: John E. Bowers | First 5 Authors: Bozhang Dong, Yating Wan, Weng W. Chow, Chen Shang, Artem Prokoshin | Summary: Ultra-low-noise laser sources are crucial for a variety of applications, including microwave synthesizers, optical gyroscopes, and the manipulation of quantum systems. Silicon photonics has emerged as a promising solution for high-coherence applications due […]
Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: James Hong, Lu Yuan, Michaël Gharbi, Matthew Fisher, Kayvon Fatahalian | Summary: How to frame (or crop) a photo often depends on the image subject and its context; e.g., a human portrait. Recent works have defined the subject-aware image cropping task as a nuanced and practical version […]

Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: Vikas Thamizharasan, Difan Liu, Shantanu Agarwal, Matthew Fisher, Michael Gharbi | Summary: We present VecFusion, a new neural architecture that can generate vector fonts with varying topological structures and precise control point positions. Our approach is a cascaded diffusion model which consists of a raster diffusion model […]

Kavli Affiliate: David Gross | First 5 Authors: David Gross, Dominik Hangleiter, , , | Summary: Quantum computing devices can now perform sampling tasks which, according to complexity-theoretic and numerical evidence, are beyond the reach of classical computers. This raises the question of how one can efficiently verify that a quantum computer operating in this […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lars Bildsten | First 5 Authors: Corey W. Bradshaw, Matti Dorsch, Thomas Kupfer, Brad N. Barlow, Uli Heber | Summary: Blue large-amplitude pulsators (BLAPs) make up a rare class of hot pulsating stars with effective temperatures of $approx$30,000 K and surface gravities of 4.0 – 5.0 dex (cgs). The evolutionary origin and current […]
Kavli Affiliate: Boris I. Shraiman | First 5 Authors: Nikolas H. Claussen, Fridtjof Brauns, Boris I. Shraiman, , | Summary: Epithelial tissue elongation by convergent extension is a key motif of animal morphogenesis. On a coarse scale, cell motion resembles laminar fluid flow; yet in contrast to a fluid, epithelial cells adhere to each other […]
