DOT: Dynamic Knob Selection and Online Sampling for Automated Database Tuning
Database Management Systems (DBMS) are crucial for efficient data management and access control, but their administration remains challenging for Database Administrators (DBAs). Tuning, in particul...

Characterization of Passive CMOS Strip Detectors After Proton Irradiation
Strip detectors are populating outer trackers of high-energy particle experiments. They are convenient for covering large areas of sensitive material since they use less power and have fewer readou...

FreeTalk: Emotional Topology-Free 3D Talking Heads
Speech-driven 3D facial animation has advanced rapidly, yet most approaches remain tied to registered template meshes, preventing effective deployment on raw 3D scans with arbitrary topology. At th...

A practical randomized trust-region method to escape saddle points in high dimension
Without randomization, escaping the saddle points of $f \colon \mathbb{R}^d \to \mathbb{R}$ requires at least $Ω(d)$ pieces of information about $f$ (values, gradients, Hessian-vector products). Wi...

Standard Model tests with smeared experiment and theory
For Standard Model processes in which on-shell intermediate hadronic states contribute - including inclusive semileptonic decays and long-distance effects in rare exclusive decays such as $D\to π\e...

Seeing Beyond: Extrapolative Domain Adaptive Panoramic Segmentation
Cross-domain panoramic semantic segmentation has attracted growing interest as it enables comprehensive 360° scene understanding for real-world applications. However, it remains particularly challe...

Probing the neutrino mass through semileptonic meson decays
We argue that a detailed analysis of semileptonic decays can test the possibility of a massive neutrino. The key observable, related to the forward-backward asymmetry, is exactly zero for a massles...

The Steep-spectrum Radio-loud AGN Luminosity Function and Its Implications for Black Hole Growth and Star Formation
We study the cosmic evolution of radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGNs) using a beaming-minimized sample of 4{,}555 steep-spectrum sources over $0<z\lesssim4$, compiled from the XXL survey, VLA-C...

Deep Reinforcement Learning for Fano Hypersurfaces
We design a deep reinforcement learning algorithm to explore a high-dimensional integer lattice with sparse rewards, training a feedforward neural network as a dynamic search heuristic to steer exp...

SEA-Vision: A Multilingual Benchmark for Comprehensive Document and Scene Text Understanding in Southeast Asia
Multilingual document and scene text understanding plays an important role in applications such as search, finance, and public services. However, most existing benchmarks focus on high-resource lan...

Spatial Characterization of Sub-Synchronous Oscillations Using Black-Box IBR Models
Power systems with high penetration of inverter-based resources (IBRs) are prone to sub-synchronous oscillations (SSO). The opaqueness of vendor-specific IBR models limits the ability to predict th...

Comparative Analysis of SRAM PUF Temperature Susceptibility on Embedded Systems
An SRAM Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) can distinguish SRAM modules by analyzing the inherent randomness of their start-up behavior. However, the effectiveness of this technique varies dependin...

Nonlinear Model Order Reduction for Coupled Aeroelastic-Flight Dynamic Systems
A systematic approach to nonlinear model order reduction (NMOR) of coupled fluid-structureflight dynamics systems of arbitrary fidelity is presented. The technique employs a Taylor series expansion...

Breakdown of the isotropic asymptotic approximation in two-colour photoionisation
The Wigner delay is defined as the energy derivative of the scattering phase of a particle in a given potential, unveiling the time taken (or gained) due to the interaction. The characterisation of...

Scalable Simulation-Based Model Inference with Test-Time Complexity Control
Simulation plays a central role in scientific discovery. In many applications, the bottleneck is no longer running a simulator; it is choosing among large families of plausible simulators, each cor...

ReLU Barrier Functions for Nonlinear Systems with Constrained Control: A Union of Invariant Sets Approach
Certifying safety for nonlinear systems with polytopic input constraints is challenging because CBF synthesis must ensure control admissibility under saturation. We propose an approximation--verifi...

Algorithms for Deciding the Safety of States in Fully Observable Non-deterministic Problems: Technical Report
Learned action policies are increasingly popular in sequential decision-making, but suffer from a lack of safety guarantees. Recent work introduced a pipeline for testing the safety of such policie...

Design and operation of a spark chamber for vacuum ultraviolet light production
Noble liquids, notably argon and xenon, are utilised as both detector media and as the detector target for dark matter and neutrino physics experiments. When the noble liquid is excited by particle...

Exemplar Diffusion: Improving Medical Object Detection with Opportunistic Labels
We present a framework to take advantage of existing labels at inference, called \textit{exemplars}, in order to improve the performance of object detection in medical images. The method, \textit{e...
