The autoregressive neural network architecture of the Boltzmann distribution of pairwise interacting spins systems

Indaco Biazzo

Autoregressive Neural Networks (ARNNs) have shown exceptional results in generation tasks across image, language, and scientific domains. Despite their success, ARNN architectures often operate as black boxes without a clear connection to underlying physic ...

Lp-regularity theory for the stochastic reaction-diffusion equation with super-linear multiplicative noise and strong dissipativity

Jaeyun Yi

We study the existence, uniqueness, and regularity of the solution to the stochastic reaction-diffusion equation (SRDE) with colored noise F-center dot:partial derivative(t)u = aijuxixj +biuxi + cu - bu1+beta +xi u1+gamma F-center dot, (t, x) is ...

Effects of Degrees of Freedom on Calculating Diffusion Properties in Nanoporous Materials br

Berend Smit, Raffaela Cabriolu, Henglu Xu

If one carries out a molecular simulation ofNparticlesusing periodic boundary conditions, linear momentum is conserved,and hence, the number of degrees of freedom is set to 3N-3. Inmost programs, this number of degrees of freedom is the defaultsetting. How ...

Small Obstacle in a Large Polar Flock

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

We show that arbitrarily large polar flocks are susceptible to the presence of a single small obstacle. In a wide region of parameter space, the obstacle triggers counterpropagating dense bands leading to reversals of the flow. In very large systems, these ...

Mechanistic modelling of solar disinfection (SODIS) kinetics of Escherichia coli, enhanced with H2O2 - Part 2: Shine on you, crazy peroxide

César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis, Ling Feng

In this second part of the development of a mechanistic kinetic model of the solar inactivation of E. coli enhanced with hydrogen peroxide, we evaluate the mechanisms based on photonic inactivation and integrate them into the kinetic model of the dark proc ...

OptTTA: Learnable Test-Time Augmentation for Source-Free Medical Image Segmentation Under Domain Shift

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Guillaume Marc Georges Vray, Devavrat Tomar, Seyedbehzad Bozorgtabar

As distribution shifts are inescapable in realistic clinical scenarios due to inconsistencies in imaging protocols, scanner vendors, and across different centers, well-trained deep models incur a domain generalization problem in unseen environments. Despit ...

Entropic Fokker-Planck kinetic model

Mohammadhossein Gorji

The diffusion limit of kinetic systems has been subject of numerous studies since prominent works of Lebowitz et al. [1] and van Kampen [2]. More recently, the topic has seen a fresh interest from the rarefied gas simulation perspective. In particular, Fok ...

Invariance principles in the theory and computation of transport coefficients

Federico Grasselli

In this work, we elaborate on two recently discovered invariance principles, according to which transport coefficients are, to a large extent, independent of the microscopic definition of the densities and currents of the conserved quantities being transpo ...

Cryogenic MOSFET Modeling for Large-Scale Quantum Computing

Arnout Lodewijk M Beckers

Promising results of state-of-the-art quantum computers fuel a world-wide effort in academic and private research laboratories to scale up the number of qubits and improve their characteristics in large arrays. To meet the scale-up challenge, innovative mi ...

Thermal transport beyond Fourier, and beyond Boltzmann

Michele Simoncelli

Crystals and glasses exhibit fundamentally different heat conduction mechanisms: the periodicity of crystals allows for the excitation of propagating vibrational waves that carry heat, as first discussed by Peierls in 1929, while in glasses the lack of per ...

Simulation and experimental validation of pulsating heat pipes

John Richard Thome, Jackson Braz Marcinichen, Philippe Aubin, Filippo Cataldo

The one-dimensional transient numerical code of JJ Cooling Innovation has been significantly improved to simulate the thermal/hydraulic performance of pulsating heat pipes (PHPs). Using a mechanistic approach, the liquid slug and vapor plug flows and their ...

Gaussian Process Regression for Maximum Entropy Distribution

Mohammadhossein Gorji, Mohsen Sadr

Maximum-Entropy Distributions offer an attractive family of probability densities suitable for moment closure problems. Yet finding the Lagrange multipliers which parametrize these distributions, turns out to be a computational bottleneck for practical clo ...

Entropy in Spin Relaxation, Spintronics, and Magnetic Resonance

Ferenc Simon

The entropy change during spin relaxation for a realistic model system is studied, whose spin dynamics can be handled with the Boltzmann equation. The time evolution of the von Neumann entropy is monitored during the process and is compared with the recent ...

A new regret analysis for Adam-type algorithms

Volkan Cevher, Ahmet Alacaoglu

In this paper, we focus on a theory-practice gap for Adam and its variants (AMSgrad, AdamNC, etc.). In practice, these algorithms are used with a constant first-order moment parameter 1 (typically between 0:9 and 0:99). In theory, regret guarantees for onl ...

The acidity of atmospheric particles and clouds

Athanasios Nenes, Tao Wang

Acidity, defined as pH, is a central component of aqueous chemistry. In the atmosphere, the acidity of condensed phases (aerosol particles, cloud water, and fog droplets) governs the phase partitioning of semivolatile gases such as HNO3, NH3, HCl, and orga ...
