Nanolithography of the nanocorral structure of chemisorbed oxygen atoms on the graphitic lattice

Controlled atomic patterning is an attractive tool to fine tune properties of graphitic lattice. Several O-functionalized derivatives of graphitic lattice have been widely studied, e.g., graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, and functionalized carbon nan ...

Diffusion in Style

Sabine Süsstrunk, Radhakrishna Achanta, Mahmut Sami Arpa, Martin Nicolas Everaert

We present Diffusion in Style, a simple method to adapt Stable Diffusion to any desired style, using only a small set of target images. It is based on the key observation that the style of the images generated by Stable Diffusion is tied to the initial lat ...

Annotation-efficient image anomaly detection

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Seyedbehzad Bozorgtabar

The present invention proposes a method for detecting anomalous or out-of-distribution images in a machine learning system (1) comprising a pre-training network with a first encoder, and an anomaly detection network with a second encoder. The system is fir ...

On the Stability of Fine-tuning BERT: Misconceptions, Explanations, and Strong Baselines

Maksym Andriushchenko

Fine-tuning pre-trained transformer-based language models such as BERT has become a common practice dominating leaderboards across various NLP benchmarks. Despite the strong empirical performance of fine-tuned models, fine-tuning is an unstable process: tr ...

Comparing CTC and LFMMI for out-of-domain adaptation of wav2vec 2.0 acoustic model

Hervé Bourlard, Apoorv Vyas

In this work, we investigate if the wav2vec 2.0 self-supervised pretraining helps mitigate the overfitting issues with connectionist temporal classification (CTC) training to reduce its performance gap with flat-start lattice-free MMI (E2E-LFMMI) for autom ...

A Study on More Realistic Room Simulation for Far-Field Keyword Spotting

Eric Bezzam, Robin Scheibler

We investigate the impact of more realistic room simulation for training far-field keyword spotting systems without fine-tuning on in-domain data. To this end, we study the impact of incorporating the following factors in the room impulse response (RIR) ge ...

Topology-Driven Single-Molecule Conductance of Carbon Nanothreads

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Ganna Gryn'ova

Highly conductive single-molecule junctions typically involve pi-conjugated molecular bridges, whose frontier molecular orbital energy levels can be fine-tuned to best match the Fermi level of the leads. Fully saturated wires, e.g., alkanes, are typically ...

Dual Langmuir-probe array for 3D plasma studies in TORPEX

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Fabio Avino, Rémy Jacquier, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Oulfa Chellaï, Fabian Manke

We have designed and installed a new Langmuir-probe (LP) array diagnostic to determine basic three-dimensional (3D) features of plasmas in TORPEX. The diagnostic consists of two identical LP arrays, placed on opposite sides of the apparatus, which provide ...

Hybrid inflation in the complex plane

Valerie Fiona Domcke, Kohei Kamada

Supersymmetric hybrid inflation is an exquisite framework to connect inflationary cosmology to particle physics at the scale of grand unification. Ending in a phase transition associated with spontaneous symmetry breaking, it can naturally explain the gene ...

Polarity Assignment in ZnTe, GaAs, ZnO, and GaN-AlN Nanowires from Direct Dumbbell Analysis

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Martin Heiss, Bo Peng

Aberration corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) with high angle annular dark field (HAADF) imaging and the newly developed annular bright field (ABF) imaging are used to define a new guideline for the polarity determination of semicon ...

Solving the mu problem with a heavy Higgs boson

Roberto Franceschini

We discuss the generation of the mu-term in a class of supersymmetric models characterized by a low energy effective superpotential containing a term lambda SH1H2 with a large coupling lambda similar to 2. These models generically predict a lightest Higgs ...

Cooperation in Underwater Sensor Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Florent Frédéric Garcin

In underwater sensor networks (UWSNs), one of the main concerns is to reduce the energy consumption in order to maximize the lifetime. This work focuses on multiple sensor networks governed by different authorities. If the authorities are willing to cooper ...

Scale invariance, unimodular gravity and dark energy

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Daniel Zenhäusern

We demonstrate that the combination of the ideas of unimodular gravity, scale invariance, and the existence of an exactly massless dilaton leads to the evolution of the universe supported by present observations: inflation in the past, followed by the radi ...

Position-flexible elaboration of halogenated heterocycles: Metalated species as key intermediates for synthesis

Halogens, in particular fluorine atoms, are favorite tools to fine-tune the chemical and biological properties of pharmaceutical or agricultural development products. At the same time, such an electronegative substituent can effectively assist the site-sel ...
