C4Synth: Cross-Caption Cycle-Consistent Text-to-Image Synthesis
Generating an image from its description is a challenging task worth solving
because of its numerous practical applications ranging from image editing to
virtual reality. All existing methods use one single caption to generate a
plausible image. A single caption by itself, can be limited, and may not be
able to capture the variety of concepts and behavior that may be present in the
image. We propose two deep generative models that generate an image by making
use of multiple captions describing it. This is achieved by ensuring
'Cross-Caption Cycle Consistency' between the multiple captions and the
generated image(s). We report quantitative and qualitative results on the
standard Caltech-UCSD Birds (CUB) and Oxford-102 Flowers datasets to validate
the efficacy of the proposed approach.Comment: To appear in the proceedings of IEEE Winter Conference on

The extent of strangeness in equilibration in quark-gluon plasma
The evolution and production of strangeness from chemically equilibrating and
transversely expanding quark gluon plasma which may be formed in the wake of
relativistic heavy ion collisions is studied with initial conditions obtained
from the Self Screened Parton Cascade (SSPC) model. The extent of partonic
equilibration increases almost linearly with the square of the initial energy
density, which can then be scaled with number of participants.Comment: 4 pages including three figures, talk given at ICPAQGP'01, Jaipur,

Isotope thermometery in nuclear multifragmentation
A systematic study of the effect of fragmentfragment interaction, quantum
statistics, -feeding and collective flow is made in the extraction of
the nuclear temperature from the double ratio of the isotopic yields in the
statistical model of one-step (Prompt) multifragmentation. Temperature is also
extracted from the isotope yield ratios generated in the sequential
binary-decay model. Comparison of the thermodynamic temperature with the
extracted temperatures for different isotope ratios show some anomaly in both
models which is discussed in the context of experimentally measured caloric
curves.Comment: uuencoded gzipped file containing 20 pages of text in REVTEX format

Symmetric and anti-symmetric Landau parameters and magnetic properties of dense quark matter
We calculate the dimensionless Fermi liquid parameters (FLPs),
and , for spin asymmetric dense quark matter.
In general, the FLPs are infrared divergent due to the exchange of massless
gluons. To remove such divergences, the Hard Density Loop (HDL) corrected gluon
propagator is used. The FLPs so determined are then invoked to calculate
magnetic properties such as magnetization and magnetic
susceptibility of spin polarized quark matter. Finally, we investigate
the possibility of magnetic instability by studying the density dependence of
and .Comment: 14 pages, 5 figures, abstract and introduction modifified. Published
