Millimeter-wave is one of the technologies powering the new generation of wireless communication systems. To compensate the high path-loss, millimeter-wave devices need to use highly directional antennas. Consequently, beam misalignment…
Processing-in-DRAM (DRAM-PIM) has emerged as a promising technology for accelerating memory-intensive operations in modern applications, such as Large Language Models (LLMs). Despite its potential, current software stacks for DRAM-PIM face…
This article presents a numerical model dedicated to the simulation of field ion microscopy (FIM). FIM was the first technique to image individual atoms on the surface of a material. By a careful control of the field evaporation of the…
To facilitate the review, evaluation and analysis of scientific literature, the lit-tag R Shiny application provides a convenient interface for users to generate a citation database with custom, user-defined tags and notes. Lit-tag is not…
This document discusses the Information Theoretically Efficient Model (ITEM), a computerized system to generate an information theoretically efficient multinomial logistic regression from a general dataset. More specifically, this model is…
Tactile maps are commonly used to give visually impaired users access to geographical representations. Although those relief maps are efficient tools for acquisition of spatial knowledge, they present several limitations and issues such as…
We have developed non-sequential ray-tracing software which is aimed to be widely used, along with air- shower simulations, in the design of optical systems for cosmic-ray experiments. The code is based on the ROOT geometry library to…
Temporal graphs are graphs whose edges are labelled with times at which they are active. Their time-sensitivity provides a useful model of real networks, but renders many problems studied on temporal graphs more computationally complex than…
Optical images of transparent three-dimensional objects can be different from a replica of the object's cross section in the image plane due to refraction at the surface or in the body of the object. Simulations of the object's image are…
Optics related to non-Euclidean geometry has been attracting growing interest for emerged novel phenomena and the analog for general relativity, while most studies are limited to the free space on rotationally-symmetric surfaces. In this…
Future mobile communication networks will require enhanced network efficiency and reduced system overhead. Research on Blind Interference Alignment and Topological Interference Management (TIM) has shown that optimal Degrees of Freedom can…
A technique is presented for producing synthetic images from numerical simulations whereby the image resolution is adapted around prominent features. In so doing, adaptive image ray-tracing (AIR) improves the efficiency of a calculation by…
A program verifier is a tool that can be used to verify that a "contract" for a program holds - i.e. given a precondition the program guarantees that a given postcondition holds - by only working at the level of the annotated program. An…
This is a reupload of an industry funded research project description from 2019. The project heavily relied upon the TINT is not Titan package (TINT, available at https://github.com/openradar/TINT). This document details the modifications…
Magnetic activity in the atmospheres of stars produces a number of spectroscopic signatures that are visible in the shape and strength of spectral lines. These signatures can be used to access, among other things, the variability of the…
In this work, an optic fiber based $\textit{in situ}$ illumination system integrated into an aberration-corrected environmental transmission electron microscope (ETEM) is designed, built, characterized and applied. With this illumination…
For many computer vision applications such as image captioning, visual question answering, and person search, learning discriminative feature representations at both image and text level is an essential yet challenging problem. Its…
The ability to steer light propagation inside scattering media has long been sought-after due to its potential widespread applications. To form optical foci inside scattering media, the only feasible strategy is to guide photons by using…
Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is critical to the implementation of autonomous driving. Most LiDAR-inertial SLAM algorithms assume a static environment, leading to unreliable localization in dynamic environments. Moreover, the…
Masked Image Modeling (MIM) is a powerful self-supervised strategy for visual pre-training without the use of labels. MIM applies random crops to input images, processes them with an encoder, and then recovers the masked inputs with a…
