Study of the mixing in the decays
We studied the B meson decays in the pQCD
approach beyond the leading order. With the vertex corrections and the NLO
Wilson coefficients included, the branching ratios of the considered decays are
, and with the mixing angle
, which can agree well with the data or the present
experimental upper limit within errors. So we support the opinion that
is much more favored than . Furthermore,
we also give the predictions for the polarization fractions, direct CP
violations from the different polarization components, the relative phase
angles for the considered decays with the mixing angle
and , respectively. The direct CP violations of the two charged
decays are very small ,
because there is no weak phase until up to with the
Wolfenstein parameter . These results can be tested at the
running LHCb and forthcoming Super-B experiments.Comment: 14 pages,3 figures,to appear in EPJ
ME-Net: Towards Effective Adversarial Robustness with Matrix Estimation
Deep neural networks are vulnerable to adversarial attacks. The literature is
rich with algorithms that can easily craft successful adversarial examples. In
contrast, the performance of defense techniques still lags behind. This paper
proposes ME-Net, a defense method that leverages matrix estimation (ME). In
ME-Net, images are preprocessed using two steps: first pixels are randomly
dropped from the image; then, the image is reconstructed using ME. We show that
this process destroys the adversarial structure of the noise, while
re-enforcing the global structure in the original image. Since humans typically
rely on such global structures in classifying images, the process makes the
network mode compatible with human perception. We conduct comprehensive
experiments on prevailing benchmarks such as MNIST, CIFAR-10, SVHN, and
Tiny-ImageNet. Comparing ME-Net with state-of-the-art defense mechanisms shows
that ME-Net consistently outperforms prior techniques, improving robustness
against both black-box and white-box attacks.Comment: ICML 201
An improved method to test the Distance--Duality relation
Many researchers have performed cosmological-model-independent tests for the
distance duality (DD) relation. Theoretical work has been conducted based on
the results of these tests. However, we find that almost all of these tests
were perhaps not cosmological-model-independent after all, because the distance
moduli taken from a given type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) compilation are dependent
on a given cosmological model and Hubble constant. In this Letter, we overcome
these defects and by creating a new cosmological-model-independent test for the
DD relation. We use the original data from the Union2 SNe Ia compilation and
the angular diameter distances from two galaxy cluster samples compiled by De
Filippis et al. and Bonamente et al. to test the DD relation. Our results
suggest that the DD relation is compatible with observations, and the spherical
model is slightly better than the elliptical model at describing the intrinsic
shape of galaxy clusters if the DD relation is valid. However, these results
are different from those of previous work.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, published on ApJ
