Some new constructions of orthogonal designs
In this paper we construct OD(4pqr(q+1); pqr, pqr, pqr, pqr, pqr+1, pqr+1, pqr+1, pqr+1) for each core order q ≡ 3(mod 4), r ≥ 0 or q = 1, p odd, p ≤ 21 and p ∈ {25, 49}, and COD(2qr(q + 1); qr, qr, qr+1, qr+1) for any prime power q ≡ 1 (mod 4) (including q = 1), r ≥ 0
Preference-grounded Token-level Guidance for Language Model Fine-tuning
Aligning language models (LMs) with preferences is an important problem in
natural language generation. A key challenge is that preferences are typically
provided at the sequence level while LM training and generation both occur at
the token level. There is, therefore, a granularity mismatch between the
preference and the LM training losses, which may complicate the learning
problem. In this paper, we address this issue by developing an alternate
training process, where we iterate between grounding the sequence-level
preference into token-level training guidance, and improving the LM with the
learned guidance. For guidance learning, we design a framework that extends the
pairwise-preference learning in imitation learning to both variable-length LM
generation and utilizing the preference among multiple generations. For LM
training, based on the amount of supervised data, we present two minimalist
learning objectives that utilize the learned guidance. In experiments, our
method performs competitively on two distinct representative LM tasks --
discrete-prompt generation and text summarization
Self-Supervised Scene Dynamic Recovery from Rolling Shutter Images and Events
Scene Dynamic Recovery (SDR) by inverting distorted Rolling Shutter (RS)
images to an undistorted high frame-rate Global Shutter (GS) video is a
severely ill-posed problem, particularly when prior knowledge about
camera/object motions is unavailable. Commonly used artificial assumptions on
motion linearity and data-specific characteristics, regarding the temporal
dynamics information embedded in the RS scanlines, are prone to producing
sub-optimal solutions in real-world scenarios. To address this challenge, we
propose an event-based RS2GS framework within a self-supervised learning
paradigm that leverages the extremely high temporal resolution of event cameras
to provide accurate inter/intra-frame information. % In this paper, we propose
to leverage the event camera to provide inter/intra-frame information as the
emitted events have an extremely high temporal resolution and learn an
event-based RS2GS network within a self-supervised learning framework, where
real-world events and RS images can be exploited to alleviate the performance
degradation caused by the domain gap between the synthesized and real data.
Specifically, an Event-based Inter/intra-frame Compensator (E-IC) is proposed
to predict the per-pixel dynamic between arbitrary time intervals, including
the temporal transition and spatial translation. Exploring connections in terms
of RS-RS, RS-GS, and GS-RS, we explicitly formulate mutual constraints with the
proposed E-IC, resulting in supervisions without ground-truth GS images.
Extensive evaluations over synthetic and real datasets demonstrate that the
proposed method achieves state-of-the-art and shows remarkable performance for
event-based RS2GS inversion in real-world scenarios. The dataset and code are

The genetic architecture of the human cerebral cortex
The cerebral cortex underlies our complex cognitive capabilities, yet little is known about the specific genetic loci that influence human cortical structure. To identify genetic variants that affect cortical structure, we conducted a genome-wide association meta-analysis of brain magnetic resonance imaging data from 51,665 individuals. We analyzed the surface area and average thickness of the whole cortex and 34 regions with known functional specializations. We identified 199 significant loci and found significant enrichment for loci influencing total surface area within regulatory elements that are active during prenatal cortical development, supporting the radial unit hypothesis. Loci that affect regional surface area cluster near genes in Wnt signaling pathways, which influence progenitor expansion and areal identity. Variation in cortical structure is genetically correlated with cognitive function, Parkinson's disease, insomnia, depression, neuroticism, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

Hadamard matrices constructed by circulant and negacyclic matrices
In this paper we establish a correspondence between circulant and negacyclic matrices of order n for n odd, give the definition of suitable matrices, and show several new methods for constructing compsite suitable negacyclic (circulant) matrices from base sequences and suitable negacyclic (circulant) matrices under some general conditions
Constructions of composite T-matrices
In this paper we prove that if there are strongly disjoint T-matrices of order t and suitable T-matrices of order t′, there are T-matrices of order tt′. We also show that there exist strongly disjoint T-matrices of order t=73,79,113 and (2m+p), p odd, where m+p,m+p,m,m are lengths of base sequences, and give some new constructions of suitable T-matrices of order t=9,13,17,19,21,25. This generalizes the work of [13]
