Planning with Diffusion Models for Target-Oriented Dialogue Systems
Target-Oriented Dialogue (TOD) remains a significant challenge in the LLM era, where strategic dialogue planning is crucial for directing conversations toward specific targets. However, existing dialogue planning methods generate dialogue plans in a step-by-step sequential manner, and may suffer from compounding errors...
Global dynamics of planar discrete type-K competitive systems
For a continuously differentiable Kolmogorov map defined from the nonnegative orthant to itself, a type-K competitive system is defined. Under the assumptions that the system is dissipative and the origin is a repeller, the global dynamics of such systems is investigated. A...
Long-time dynamics for the Kelvin-Helmholtz equations close to circular vortex sheets
We consider the Kelvin-Helmholtz system describing the evolution of a vortex-sheet near the circular stationary solution. Answering previous numerical conjectures in the 90s physics literature, we prove an almost global existence result for small-amplitude solutions. We first establish the existence of a...
The FAST Discovery of a Millisecond Pulsar Hidden in the Harmonics of PSR J2129+1210A (M15A)
We report the discovery of an isolated millisecond pulsar M15O (J2129+1210O) from the globular cluster M15 (NGC 7078) with a period of $\sim$11.06686 ms and a dispersion measure of $\sim$67.44 cm$^{-3}$ pc. Its spin period is so close to the $10^{\text{th}}$ harmonic...
Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface Control for a Moving Receiver
Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) are emerging as key enablers of reliable industrial automation in the millimeter-wave (mmWave) band, particularly in environments with frequent line-of-sight (LoS) blockage. While prior works have largely focused on theoretical aspects, real-time validation under user mobility remains underexplored....
Hybrid Reinforcement Learning and Model Predictive Control for Adaptive Control of Hydrogen-Diesel Dual-Fuel Combustion
Reinforcement Learning (RL) and Machine Learning Integrated Model Predictive Control (ML-MPC) are promising approaches for optimizing hydrogen-diesel dual-fuel engine control, as they can effectively control multiple-input multiple-output systems and nonlinear processes. ML-MPC is advantageous for providing safe and optimal controls, ensuring the...
Situational Preparedness Dynamics for Sequential Tropical Cyclone Hazards
Sequential tropical cyclone hazards–two tropical cyclones (TCs) making landfall in the same region within a short time–are becoming increasingly likely. This study investigates situational preparedness dynamics for six sequential TC events that affected seven states in the United States from 2020 to...
Quantum circuits for simulating linear interferometers
Motivated by recent proposals for quantum proof of work protocols, we investigate approaches for simulating linear optical interferometers using digital quantum circuits. We focus on a second quantisation approach, where the quantum computer’s registers represent optical modes. We can then use standard...
Fermi-LAT and FAST observation of the gamma-ray binary HESS J0632+057
Using 15 years of data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT), we performed a comprehensive analysis on the gamma-ray binary HESS J0632+057. Its spectrum in 0.1-300 GeV band is well described by a power law model with an index of $2.40\pm0.16$,...
Characterization of a GAGG detector for neutron measurements in underground laboratories
In rare events experiments, such as those devoted to the direct search of dark matter, a precise knowledge of the environmental gamma and neutron backgrounds is crucial for reaching the design experiment sensitivity. The neutron component is often poorly known due to...
