System identification and response prediction using impulse response from ambient vibration by Sim, Jie Hui.

“…The misconception that Singapore is protected from earthquake needs to be changed as Singapore is vulnerable to shockwaves that can travel long distance. System identification with ambient vibration is performed using servo-type velocity seismometer instead of the norm, an accelerometer.…”

Accelerating amorphous polymer electrolyte screening by learning to reduce errors in molecular dynamics simulated properties by Xie, Tian, France-Lanord, Arthur, Wang, Yanming, Lopez, Jeffrey, Stolberg, Michael A., Hill, Megan, Leverick, Graham Michael, Gomez-Bombarelli, Rafael, Johnson, Jeremiah A., Shao-Horn, Yang, Grossman, Jeffrey C.

“…Large scale screening of polymer electrolytes is hindered by the significant cost of molecular dynamics (MD) simulation in amorphous systems: the amorphous structure of polymers requires multiple, repeated sampling to reduce noise and the slow relaxation requires long simulation time for convergence. Here, we accelerate the screening with a multi-task graph neural network that learns from a large amount of noisy, unconverged, short MD data and a small number of converged, long MD data. …”

All-fiber short-wavelength tunable mode-locked fiber laser using normal dispersion thulium-doped fiber by Chen, Shaoxiang, Chen, Yuhao, Liu, Kun, Sidharthan, Raghuraman, Li, Huizi, Chang, Chen Jian, Wang, Qi Jie, Tang, Dingyuan, Yoo, Seongwoo

“…An in-house W-type normal dispersion Tm-doped fiber (NDTDF) exhibits a bending-induced distributed short-pass filtering effect that efficiently suppresses the otherwise dominant long wavelength emission. By changing the bending diameter of the fiber, we demonstrated a tunable mode-locked Tm-doped fiber laser with a very wide tunable range of 152 nm spanning from 1740 nm to 1892 nm. …”

Language-guided visual retrieval by He, Su

“…To organize the discrete features, we propose a network called Hybrid Graph Network to capture both the spatial and locally temporal relationships between objects in the frames and also apply semantically matching between objects and words. To model the long-span relationships between activities in the two modalities, we implement a temporal encoder based on the attentive model. …”

Flexible and resource-efficient multi-robot collaborative visual-inertial-range localization by Nguyen, Thien Hoang, Nguyen, Thien-Minh, Xie, Lihua

“…We propose a two-stage approach: 1) with a long sliding window, the relative transformation is refined based on range and odometry data, 2) onboard visual-inertial-range data are tightly fused in a short-term sliding window to provide more accurate local and global estimates. …”

Numerical methods for finite-size key rates with different entropic bounds in quantum key distribution by Chung, Rebecca Ru Byn

“…We then showed that the Renyi entropy indeed gives a tighter bound on the low-signal regime (N~10^5), and outperforms the bound using the von Neumann entropy in regimes of long channel distances and low signal number, thus paving the way for a better understanding of long-distance satellite-based QKD protocols in the presence of finite resources.…”

Synaptic devices towards neuromorphic electronics by Datta, Indira

“…This report examines potentially brain-like structures and their cognitive behaviour including learning, forgetting, and relearning, as well as synaptic behaviour such as short and long-term plasticity. Area Transfer curves, gate voltage hysteresis loops, and multilevel resistance modulation were studied, and biological functions including long-term potentiation and Depression (LTP and LTD), Excitatory and Inhibitory Postsynaptic Current (EPSC and IPSC), Spike Amplitude and Duration Dependent Plasticity (SADP and SDDP), Paired Pulse Facilitation and Depression (PPF and PPD), and repeated learning and forgetting curves were emulated by our novel device. …”
