In this article, a general information-plus-noise transmission model is assumed, the receiver end of which is composed of a large number of sensors and is unaware of the noise pattern. For this model, and under reasonable assumptions, a set…
The signal to noise ratio, which plays such an important role in information theory, is shown to become pointless in digital communications where - symbols are modulating carriers, which are solutions of linear differential equations with…
We give a pedagogical introduction to the theory of resonances, focusing specifically on the spectrum of excited strongly interacting particles. After providing historical context starting from the atomic theory, we summarize the status of…
The content of this contribution is based on the course on numerical analysis techniques for non-linear dynamics. After introducing basic concepts as the visual analysis of trajectories in phase space and the importance of the nature of…
In the last two decades, Bayesian inference has become commonplace in astronomy. At the same time, the choice of algorithms, terminology, notation, and interpretation of Bayesian inference varies from one sub-field of astronomy to the next,…

The aim of this work is to expose some asymptotic series associated to some expressions involving the volume of the n-dimensional unit ball. All proofs and the methods used for improving the classical inequalities announced in the final…
An introduction to the physics and mathematics of the expanding universe, using no more than high-school level / undergraduate mathematics. Covered are the basics of scale factor expansion, the dynamics of the expanding universe, various…
We investigate a new setting for foreign language learning, where learners infer the meaning of unfamiliar words in a multimodal context of a sentence describing a paired image. We conduct studies with human participants using different…
Learning to create, use, and evaluate models is a central element of becoming a scientist. In physics, we often begin an analysis of a complex system with highly simplified or toy models. In introductory physics classes, we tend to use them…
Learning to use math in physics involves combining (blending) our everyday experiences and the conceptual ideas of physics with symbolic mathematical representations. Graphs are one of the best ways to learn to build the blend. They are a…
When a bilingual student learns to solve word problems in math, we expect the student to be able to solve these problem in both languages the student is fluent in,even if the math lessons were only taught in one language. However, current…
Quotients and comprehension are fundamental mathematical constructions that can be described via adjunctions in categorical logic. This paper reveals that quotients and comprehension are related to measurement, not only in quantum logic,…
Multichannel speech enhancement leverages spatial cues to improve intelligibility and quality, but most learning-based methods rely on specific microphone array geometry, unable to account for geometry changes. To mitigate this limitation,…
Ambisonics, a popular format of spatial audio, is the spherical harmonic (SH) representation of the plane wave density function of a sound field. Many algorithms operate in the SH domain and utilize the Ambisonics as their input signal. The…
The equatorial microphone array presented in (Ahrens et al., 2021) computes a spherical harmonic (SH) representation of a sound field based on pressure sensors along the equator of a rigid spherical baffle. The original formulation uses…
This work addresses various open questions in the theory of active learning for nonparametric classification. Our contributions are both statistical and algorithmic: -We establish new minimax-rates for active learning under common…
This thesis consists of four chapters. The first two chapters pertain to the design of stable quantization methods for analog to digital conversion, while the third and fourth chapters concern problems related to compressive sensing.
This introductory text on the basics of quantum mechanics is intended to serve as a kind of travel guide through the quantum world. It starts by asking whether quantum physics is important, or weird, or incomprehensible. It explains why…
