Fast and Provably Convergent Algorithms for Gromov-Wasserstein in Graph Data

In this paper, we study the design and analysis of a class of efficient algorithms for computing the Gromov-Wasserstein (GW) distance tailored to large-scale graph learning tasks. Armed with the Luo-Tseng error bound condition~\citep{luo1992error}, two proposed algorithms, called Bregman Alternating Projected Gradient (BAPG) and hybrid Bregman Proximal Gradient (hBPG) enjoy the convergence guarantees. Upon task-specific properties, our analysis further provides novel theoretical insights to guide how to select the best-fit method. As a result, we are able to provide comprehensive experiments to validate the effectiveness of our methods on a host of tasks, including graph alignment, graph partition, and shape matching. In terms of both wall-clock time and modeling performance, the proposed methods achieve state-of-the-art results

Boron tin oxide for filterless intrinsic-narrowband solar-blind ultraviolet detectors with tunable photoresponse peak from 231 to 275 nm

Solar-blind ultraviolet (SBUV) detection has a great prospect in a wide range of applications, in which the synthesis of semiconductor materials with a suitable bandgap can be an important research focus. In this work, BSnO films with good selectivity for SBUV were grown by magnetron sputtering with the bandgap adjusted from 4.1 to 5.3 eV. Based on the BSnO films, filter-less narrowband SBUV detectors were fabricated first, exhibiting a narrow detection range and an ultra-high responsivity (113 A/W) required by the detection of extremely weak SBUV signals. In addition, graphene/BSnO/SiC heterojunction photovoltaic detectors were also fabricated, with a high photo-to-dark current ratio and an ultra-fast response exhibited under 0 V bias, confirming their ability to handle the detection of transient signals

The search is conducted by looking for a localized excess in the $WH$/$ZH$ invariant or transverse mass distribution. No significant excess is observed, and the results are interpreted in terms of constraints on a simplified model based on a phenomenological Lagrangian of heavy vector triplets
