Recent experimental results for the ratio of the branching fractions of $\bar B \to D^{(*)}\tau \nu_\tau$ and $B\to D^{(*)} \mu \nu_\mu$ decays came as a surprise and lead to a discussion of possibility to constraining new physics through…
Engineering design involves demanding models encompassing many decision variables and uncontrollable parameters. In addition, unavoidable aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties can be very impactful and add further complexity. The…
We present the Mathematica package DREAM for arbitrarily high precision computation of multiloop integrals within the DRA (Dimensional Recurrence & Analyticity) method as solutions of dimensional recurrence relations. Starting from these…
A Monte Carlo event generator has been developed assuming thermal production of hadrons. The system under consideration is sampled grand canonically in the Boltzmann approximation. A re-weighting scheme is then introduced to account for…
Event extraction for the clinical domain is an under-explored research area. The lack of training data along with the high volume of domain-specific terminologies with vague entity boundaries makes the task especially challenging. In this…
We introduce an information-theoretic quantity with similar properties to mutual information that can be estimated from data without making explicit assumptions on the underlying distribution. This quantity is based on a recently proposed…
In QuickCheck (or, more generally, random testing), it is challenging to control random data generators' distributions---specially when it comes to user-defined algebraic data types (ADT). In this paper, we adapt results from an area of…
We introduce a hybrid approach to applying the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) to continuous systems, combining a grid approximation along one direction with a finite Gaussian basis set along the remaining two directions. This…
Variational autoencoders (VAEs) and other generative methods have garnered growing interest not just for their generative properties but also for the ability to dis-entangle a low-dimensional latent variable space. However, few existing…
Flexible barriers are increasingly used for the protection from debris flow in mountainous terrain due to their low cost and environmental impact. However, a numerical tool for rational design of such structures is still missing. In this…

We have developed an extended framework, named GR@PPA, of the GRACE system for hadron collisions. The GRACE system is an automatic Feynman diagram calculation system and an event generator based on this diagram calculation. While the…
A discrete-event simulation (DES) involves the execution of a sequence of event handlers dynamically scheduled at runtime. As a consequence, a priori knowledge of the control flow of the overall simulation program is limited. In particular,…
Gaussian processes (GPs) are widely used as surrogate models for emulating computer code, which simulate complex physical phenomena. In many problems, additional boundary information (i.e., the behavior of the phenomena along input…
GRAPE-Dilepton is a Monte Carlo event generator for dilepton production in ep collisions. The cross-section calculation is based on the exact matrix elements in the electroweak theory at tree level. The dilepton productions via $\gamma…
Minimum Bayes risk (MBR) decoding is a decision rule of text generation tasks that outperforms conventional maximum a posterior (MAP) decoding using beam search by selecting high-quality outputs based on a utility function rather than those…
We develop Random Batch Methods for interacting particle systems with large number of particles. These methods use small but random batches for particle interactions, thus the computational cost is reduced from $O(N^2)$ per time step to…
Effective connectivity can describe the causal patterns among brain regions. These patterns have the potential to reveal the pathological mechanism and promote early diagnosis and effective drug development for cognitive disease. However,…
We describe defret-mutual-generate, a utility for proving ACL2 theorems about large mutually recursive cliques of functions. This builds on previous tools such as defret-mutual and make-flag, which automate parts of the process but still…
We present preliminary results of a search for the decays B+ -> rho+ gamma, B0 -> rho0 gamma, and B0 -> omega gamma. The analysis is based on data containing 347 million BB events recorded with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II B factory. We…
