The emergence of extremely large-scale antenna arrays (ELAA) in millimeter-wave (mmWave) communications, particularly in high-mobility scenarios, highlights the importance of near-field beam prediction. Unlike the conventional far-field…
The optical observations of wide fields of view encounter the problem of selection of best exposure time. As there are usually plenty of objects observed simultaneously, the quality of photometry of the brightest ones is always better than…
The presence of degeneracies can considerably worsen the measure of the neutrino oscillation parameters $\theta_{13}$ and $\delta$. We study the physics reach of a specific ``CERN'' setup, using a standard $\beta$-Beam and Super-Beam…
The purpose of this paper is to provoke a discussion about the right next step in accelerator-based neutrino physics. In the next five years many experiments will be done to determine the neutrino mixing parameters. However, the small…
The microlensing effective timescale t_eff=beta*t_E is used frequently in high-magnification (beta << 1) microlensing events, because it is better constrained than either the impact parameter beta or the Einstein timescale t_E separately.…

We examine accuracy of theta_{23} determination in future long-baseline (LBL) nu_{mu} disappearance experiments in the three-flavor mixing scheme of neutrinos. Despite that the error of sin^2{2theta_{23}} is indeed a few % level at around…
Identification of optimal dose combinations in early phase dose-finding trials is challenging, due to the trade-off between precisely estimating the many parameters required to flexibly model the possibly non-monotonic dose-response…
This paper considers the issue of modeling fractional data observed in the interval [0,1), (0,1] or [0,1]. Mixed continuous-discrete distributions are proposed. The beta distribution is used to describe the continuous component of the model…

In engineering optimization problems, multiple objectives with a large number of variables under highly nonlinear constraints are usually required to be simultaneously optimized. Significant computing effort are required to find the Pareto…
The term beta-beam has been coined for the production of a pure beam of electron neutrinos or their antiparticles through the decay of radioactive ions circulating in a storage ring. This concept requires radioactive ions to be accelerated…
Decision trees have been a very popular class of predictive models for decades due to their interpretability and good performance on categorical features. However, they are not always robust and tend to overfit the data. Additionally, if…
We calculate the $\beta$-decay of tritium at next-to-leading order in pionless effective field theory. At this order, a low-energy parameter $L_{1, A}$ enters the calculation that is also relevant for a high-accuracy prediction of the solar…

Molecular discovery is a multi-objective optimization problem that requires identifying a molecule or set of molecules that balance multiple, often competing, properties. Multi-objective molecular design is commonly addressed by combining…
