Multifloquet to single electronic channel transition in the transport properties of a resistive 1D driven disordered ring
We investigate the dc response of a 1D disordered ring coupled to a reservoir
and driven by a magnetic flux with a linear dependence on time. We identify two
regimes: (i) A localized or large length L regime, characterized by a dc
conductance, g_{dc}, whose probability distribution P(g_{dc}) is identical to
the one exhibited by a 1D wire of the same length L and disorder strength
placed in a Landauer setup. (ii) A "multifloquet" regime for small L and weak
coupling to the reservoir, which exhibits large currents and conductances that
can be g_{dc} > 1, in spite of the fact that the ring contains a single
electronic transmission channel. The crossover length between the multifloquet
to the single channel transport regime, L_c, is controlled by the coupling to
the reservoir.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Likelihood-free inference of experimental Neutrino Oscillations using Neural Spline Flows
In machine learning, likelihood-free inference refers to the task of
performing an analysis driven by data instead of an analytical expression. We
discuss the application of Neural Spline Flows, a neural density estimation
algorithm, to the likelihood-free inference problem of the measurement of
neutrino oscillation parameters in Long Baseline neutrino experiments. A method
adapted to physics parameter inference is developed and applied to the case of
the disappearance muon neutrino analysis at the T2K experiment.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figure
DC four point resistance of a double barrier quantum pump
We investigate the behavior of the dc voltage drop in a periodically driven
double barrier structure (DBS) sensed by voltages probes that are weakly
coupled to the system. We find that the four terminal resistance
measured with the probes located outside the DBS results identical to the
resistance measured in the same structure under a stationary bias voltage
difference between left and right reservoirs. This result, valid beyond the
adiabatic pumping regime, can be taken as an indication of the universal
character of as a measure of the resistive properties of a sample,
irrespectively of the mechanism used to induce the transport.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
L'experiment T2K detecta un fenomen nou en neutrins
L'experiment T2K, una col·laboració internacional on participen més de 500 fÃsics de 12 països, ha detectat l'aparició de neutrins electrònics a partir d'un feix de neutrins muònics. És la primera vegada que s'observa aquest fenomen, conegut com a "oscil·lació", entre aquest tipus de neutrins, la qual cosa suposa un important pas per entendre millor aquesta partÃcula elemental. A més, aquesta detecció obre la porta a l'estudi experimental d'un dels principals misteris de l'Univers: el domini de la matèria enfront de l'antimatèria. En l'experiment participen investigadors de l'Institut de FÃsica d'Altes Energies (IFAE, consorci Generalitat de Catalunya-Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) i de l'Institut de FÃsica Corpuscular (IFIC, CSIC-Universitat de València).El experimento T2K, una colaboración internacional donde participan más de 500 fÃsicos de 12 paÃses, ha detectado la aparición de neutrinos electrónicos a partir de un haz de neutrinos muónicos.

It is the first time researchers observe this phenomenon - known as "oscillation" - in these types of neutrinos. The discovery could represent an important step towards a clearer understanding of this elementary particle. Having detected the presence of these types of neutrinos opens the door to an experimental study of one of the greatest mysteries of the Universe: the power of matter over antimatter. The experiment includes participation of researchers from the Institute of High Energy Physics (IFAE, consortium formed by the Government of Catalonia-Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) and from the Institute of Corpuscular Physics (IFIC, CSIC- Universitat de València)
Detecting and Monitoring Hate Speech in Twitter
Social Media are sensors in the real world that can be used to measure the pulse of societies.
However, the massive and unfiltered feed of messages posted in social media is a phenomenon that
nowadays raises social alarms, especially when these messages contain hate speech targeted to a
specific individual or group. In this context, governments and non-governmental organizations
(NGOs) are concerned about the possible negative impact that these messages can have on individuals
or on the society. In this paper, we present HaterNet, an intelligent system currently being used by
the Spanish National Office Against Hate Crimes of the Spanish State Secretariat for Security that
identifies and monitors the evolution of hate speech in Twitter. The contributions of this research
are many-fold: (1) It introduces the first intelligent system that monitors and visualizes, using social
network analysis techniques, hate speech in Social Media. (2) It introduces a novel public dataset on
hate speech in Spanish consisting of 6000 expert-labeled tweets. (3) It compares several classification
approaches based on different document representation strategies and text classification models. (4)
The best approach consists of a combination of a LTSM+MLP neural network that takes as input the
tweet’s word, emoji, and expression tokens’ embeddings enriched by the tf-idf, and obtains an area
under the curve (AUC) of 0.828 on our dataset, outperforming previous methods presented in the
literatureThe work by Quijano-Sanchez was supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation
