    Synaptic 1/f noise injection for overfitting suppression in hardware neural networks

    Get PDF
    Overfitting is a common and critical challenge for neural networks trained with limited dataset. The conventional solution is software-based regularization algorithms such as Gaussian noise injection. Semiconductor noise, such as 1/f noise, in artificial neuron/synapse devices, which is often regarded as undesirable disturbance to the hardware neural networks (HNNs), could also play a useful role in suppressing overfitting, but that is as yet unexplored. In this work, we proposed the idea of using 1/f noise injection to suppress overfitting in different neural networks, and demonstrated that: (i) 1/f noise could suppress the overfitting in Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and long short-term memory (LSTM); (ii) 1/f noise and Gaussian noise performs similarly for the MLP but differently for the LSTM; (iii) The superior performance of 1/f noise on LSTM can be attributed to its intrinsic long range dependence. This work reveals that 1/f noise, which is common in semiconductor devices, can be a useful solution to suppress the overfitting in HNNs, and more importantly, further evidents that the imperfectness of semiconductor devices is a rich mine of solutions to boost the development of brain-inspired hardware technologies in the AI era

    Anisotropic Charge Distribution and Anisotropic van der Waals Radius Leading to Intriguing Anisotropic Noncovalent Interactions

    Get PDF
    Although group (IV-VII) nonmetallic elements do not favor interacting with anionic species, there are counterexamples including the halogen bond. Such binding is known to be related to the charge deficiency because of the adjacent atom's electron withdrawing effect, which creates s/p-holes at the bond-ends. However, a completely opposite behavior is exhibited by N-2 and O-2, which have electrostatically positive/negative character around cylindrical-bond-surface/bond-ends. Inspired by this, here we elucidate the unusual features and origin of the anisotropic noncovalent interactions in the ground and excited states of the 2nd and 3rd row elements belonging to groups IV-VII. The anisotropy in charge distributions and van der Waals radii of atoms in such molecular systems are scrutinized. This provides an understanding of their unusual molecular configuration, binding and recognition modes involved in new types of molecular assembling and engineering. This work would lead to the design of intriguing molecular systems exploiting anisotropic noncovalent interactions.open

    Cross sections and form factors for \ee \to \wpi, ρη\rho\eta, and \rho\etap at center of mass energies of 3.650, 3.686, and 3.773 GeV are measured using data samples collected with the BESII detector at the BEPC. Also, the branching fractions of \psi(2S) \rar \wpi, ρη\rho\eta, and \rho\etap are determined to be (1.870.62+0.68±0.28)×105(1.87^{+0.68}_{-0.62}\pm0.28)\times 10^{-5}, (1.780.62+0.67±0.17)×105(1.78^{+0.67}_{-0.62}\pm0.17)\times 10^{-5}, and (1.871.11+1.64±0.33)×105(1.87^{+1.64}_{-1.11}\pm0.33)\times10^{-5}, respectively.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, 4 table

    Search for the Lepton Flavor Violation Process J/ψeμJ/\psi \to e\mu at BESIII

    Get PDF
    We search for the lepton-flavor-violating decay of the J/ψJ/\psi into an electron and a muon using (225.3±2.8)×106(225.3\pm2.8)\times 10^{6} J/ψJ/\psi events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. Four candidate events are found in the signal region, consistent with background expectations. An upper limit on the branching fraction of B(J/ψeμ)<1.5×107\mathcal{B}(J/\psi \to e\mu)< 1.5 \times 10^{-7} (90% C.L.) is obtained

    Higher-order multipole amplitude measurement in ψ(2S)γχc2\psi(2S)\to\gamma\chi_{c2}

    Full text link
    Using 106×106106\times10^6 ψ(2S)\psi(2S) events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring, the higher-order multipole amplitudes in the radiative transition ψ(2S)γχc2γππ/γKK\psi(2S)\to\gamma\chi_{c2}\to\gamma\pi\pi/\gamma KK are measured. A fit to the χc2\chi_{c2} production and decay angular distributions yields M2=0.046±0.010±0.013M2=0.046\pm0.010\pm0.013 and E3=0.015±0.008±0.018E3=0.015\pm0.008\pm0.018, where the first errors are statistical and the second systematic. Here M2M2 denotes the normalized magnetic quadrupole amplitude and E3E3 the normalized electric octupole amplitude. This measurement shows evidence for the existence of the M2M2 signal with 4.4σ4.4\sigma statistical significance and is consistent with the charm quark having no anomalous magnetic moment.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figure

    Observation of a charged charmoniumlike structure in e+e(DDˉ)±πe^+e^- \to (D^{*} \bar{D}^{*})^{\pm} \pi^\mp at s=4.26\sqrt{s}=4.26GeV

    Full text link
    We study the process e+e(DDˉ)±πe^+e^- \to (D^{*} \bar{D}^{*})^{\pm} \pi^\mp at a center-of-mass energy of 4.26GeV using a 827pb1^{-1} data sample obtained with the BESIII detector at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider. Based on a partial reconstruction technique, the Born cross section is measured to be (137±9±15)(137\pm9\pm15)pb. We observe a structure near the (DDˉ)±(D^{*} \bar{D}^{*})^{\pm} threshold in the π\pi^\mp recoil mass spectrum, which we denote as the Zc±(4025)Z^{\pm}_c(4025). The measured mass and width of the structure are (4026.3±2.6±3.7)(4026.3\pm2.6\pm3.7)MeV/c2^2 and (24.8±5.6±7.7)(24.8\pm5.6\pm7.7)MeV, respectively. Its production ratio σ(e+eZc±(4025)π(DDˉ)±π)σ(e+e(DDˉ)±π)\frac{\sigma(e^+e^-\to Z^{\pm}_c(4025)\pi^\mp \to (D^{*} \bar{D}^{*})^{\pm} \pi^\mp)}{\sigma(e^+e^-\to (D^{*} \bar{D}^{*})^{\pm} \pi^\mp)} is determined to be 0.65±0.09±0.060.65\pm0.09\pm0.06. The first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, 1 table; version accepted to be published in PR
