    Hyperbolic Embedding of Higher-order Simplicial Networks

    Existing hyperbolic embeddings represent network hierarchy and similarity through a few interpretable coordinates, but rely only on pairwise links: they cannot distinguish three units engaged in a common interaction from three units connected only in pairs. We introduce here the hyperbolic higher-order (HHO) embedding, which embeds a simplicial complex into the Poincaré disk, while incorporating its group interactions.

    Gravitational-Wave Microlensing As A Probe of Compact Object Population

    We develop a hierarchical Bayesian framework to infer the population properties of microlenses from an ensemble of microlensed GW events, constraining the slope of the power-law lens mass function ($\alpha_{\rm ML}$), the lens number density ($n_0$), and the fraction of dark matter in compact lenses ($f_{\rm DM}$).

    Localized Anomaly Detection with A Calorimeter Normalizing Flow

    In this work, we define a regional anomaly score by summing the squared latent coordinates of the same flow within small detector regions around the point where the particle enters the calorimeter, with the threshold set using background showers alone.

  4. 4
    Generative Sampling with Physics-informed Kernels

    We construct a generative network for Monte-Carlo sampling in lattice field theories and beyond, for which the layerwise propagation is computed and optimised independently on each layer.

    Inertial Sub-range Detection and Characterization for Ground-layer Turbulence at New Extremely Large Telescope Sites in Chile

    Using high-frequency sonic anemometer data from site-testing campaigns at the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) and Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) sites in Chile, we apply detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA)---a technique from fractal time-series analysis---to identify the inertial sub-range and evaluate statistical isotropy in the ABL, comparing our approach with the Fourier-based algorithm for robust identification of the inertial subrange (ARIIS).

    Beyond Synthesis Conditions: Linking In-situ Growth Dynamics to Carbon Nanotube Forest Properties Through Multimodal Machine Learning

    We introduce an observation-window analysis, in which prediction is evaluated as a function of observation time by providing models with the growth curve only up to progressively later times, to determine not only whether a property can be predicted, but when the necessary information becomes available during synthesis.

    An Automated Photometric Pipeline for Measuring The Corotation Radius of Spiral Galaxies

    We present an automated photometric pipeline that identifies corotation radii by tracking the azimuthal phase offset between young and old stellar populations.

    How Much Data Does A Memory Kernel Need? Measurement Requirements for Fractional Models of Battery and Corrosion Degradation

    Battery capacity fade and corrosion-film growth depend on their history, so they are often modelled using general fractional calculus (GFC), where memory is described by an arbitrary Sonine kernel rather than a single power law. We tested this using two mechanistic models without fractional operators and de Levie's porous-electrode model, whose high-frequency order is exactly 0.5; our estimator recovered 0.500.

    Choosing A Generator for Streaming Gaussian Noise in Gravitational-wave Mock Data: Accuracy, Cost and Reproducibility

    The candidates are the crossfade of independently drawn windows that the standard gravitational-wave libraries implement, overlap-save finite-impulse-response filtering, autoregressive and autoregressive moving-average (ARMA) models, and the reproducible filter of PyCBC.

    Machine Learning Sensor Fusion for Water Vapor Radiometry Based Tropospheric Delay Calibration

    As a remedy, we propose a machine-learning based retrieval concept and a preliminary architecture, framed as heterogeneous, multi-rate sensor fusion.

    Between Hi-Fi and MMI: The Overlap of Redundancy and Synergy in Partial Information Decomposition

    We introduce, by splitting the co-information into a pairwise maximum- entropy part and the third-order connected information, a PID that sits at zero overlap except when pairwise redundancy and triadic synergy coexist.
