Signature inversion for monotone paths
The aim of this article is to provide a simple sampling procedure to
reconstruct any monotone path from its signature. For every N, we sample a
lattice path of N steps with weights given by the coefficient of the
corresponding word in the signature. We show that these weights on lattice
paths satisfy the large deviations principle. In particular, this implies that
the probability of picking up a "wrong" path is exponentially small in N. The
argument relies on a probabilistic interpretation of the signature for monotone
paths
Fault diagnosis method for energy storage mechanism of high voltage circuit breaker based on CNN characteristic matrix constructed by sound-vibration signal
Aiming at the problem that some traditional high voltage circuit breaker fault diagnosis methods were over-dependent on subjective experience, the accuracy was not very high and the generalization ability was poor, a fault diagnosis method for energy storage mechanism of high voltage circuit breaker, which based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) characteristic matrix constructed by sound-vibration signal ,was proposed. In this paper, firstly, the morphological filtering was used for background noise cancellation of sound signal, and the time scale alignment method based on kurtosis and envelope similarity were proposed to ensure the synchronism of the sound-vibration signal. Secondly, the Pearson correlation coefficient was used to construct two-dimensional image characteristic matrix for the expanded sound-vibration signal. Finally, the characteristic matrix was trained by utilizing CNN. Local Response Normalization (LRN) and core function decorrelation were utilized to improve the structure of CNN model, which reduced the bad impact of large data fluctuation of energy storage process on the diagnostic accuracy of circuit breaker energy storage mechanism. Compared with the traditional method, the proposed method has obvious advantages, whose total accurate rate up to 98.2 % and generalization performance is excellent
Pedestrian Accessible Infrastructure Inventory: Assessing Zero-Shot Segmentation on Multi-Mode Geospatial Data for All Pedestrian Types
In this paper, a Segment Anything Model (SAM)-based pedestrian infrastructure
segmentation workflow is designed and optimized, which is capable of
efficiently processing multi-sourced geospatial data including LiDAR data and
satellite imagery data. We used an expanded definition of pedestrian
infrastructure inventory which goes beyond the traditional transportation
elements to include street furniture objects that are important for
accessibility but are often omitted from the traditional definition. Our
contributions lie in producing the necessary knowledge to answer the following
two questions. First, which data representation can facilitate zero-shot
segmentation of infrastructure objects with SAM? Second, how well does the
SAM-based method perform on segmenting pedestrian infrastructure objects? Our
findings indicate that street view images generated from mobile LiDAR point
cloud data, when paired along with satellite imagery data, can work efficiently
with SAM to create a scalable pedestrian infrastructure inventory approach with
immediate benefits to GIS professionals, city managers, transportation owners,
and walkers, especially those with travel-limiting disabilities, such as
individuals who are blind, have low vision, or experience mobility
disabilities

Gate controlled valley polarizer in bilayer graphene
Sign reversal of Berry curvature across two oppositely gated regions in bilayer graphene can give rise to counter-propagating 1D channels with opposite valley indices. Considering spin and sub-lattice degeneracy, there are four quantized conduction channels in each direction. Previous experimental work on gate-controlled valley polarizer achieved good contrast only in the presence of an external magnetic field. Yet, with increasing magnetic field the ungated regions of bilayer graphene will transit into the quantum Hall regime, limiting the applications of valley-polarized electrons. Here we present improved performance of a gate-controlled valley polarizer through optimized device geometry and stacking method. Electrical measurements show up to two orders of magnitude difference in conductance between the valley-polarized state and gapped states. The valley-polarized state displays conductance of nearly 4e2/h and produces contrast in a subsequent valley analyzer configuration. These results pave the way to further experiments on valley-polarized electrons in zero magnetic field
HumanMAC: Masked Motion Completion for Human Motion Prediction
Human motion prediction is a classical problem in computer vision and
computer graphics, which has a wide range of practical applications. Previous
effects achieve great empirical performance based on an encoding-decoding
style. The methods of this style work by first encoding previous motions to
latent representations and then decoding the latent representations into
predicted motions. However, in practice, they are still unsatisfactory due to
several issues, including complicated loss constraints, cumbersome training
processes, and scarce switch of different categories of motions in prediction.
In this paper, to address the above issues, we jump out of the foregoing style
and propose a novel framework from a new perspective. Specifically, our
framework works in a masked completion fashion. In the training stage, we learn
a motion diffusion model that generates motions from random noise. In the
inference stage, with a denoising procedure, we make motion prediction
conditioning on observed motions to output more continuous and controllable
predictions. The proposed framework enjoys promising algorithmic properties,
which only needs one loss in optimization and is trained in an end-to-end
manner. Additionally, it accomplishes the switch of different categories of
motions effectively, which is significant in realistic tasks, e.g., the
animation task. Comprehensive experiments on benchmarks confirm the superiority
of the proposed framework. The project page is available at

Graph Collaborative Signals Denoising and Augmentation for Recommendation
Graph collaborative filtering (GCF) is a popular technique for capturing
high-order collaborative signals in recommendation systems. However, GCF's
bipartite adjacency matrix, which defines the neighbors being aggregated based
on user-item interactions, can be noisy for users/items with abundant
interactions and insufficient for users/items with scarce interactions.
Additionally, the adjacency matrix ignores user-user and item-item
correlations, which can limit the scope of beneficial neighbors being
aggregated.
In this work, we propose a new graph adjacency matrix that incorporates
user-user and item-item correlations, as well as a properly designed user-item
interaction matrix that balances the number of interactions across all users.
To achieve this, we pre-train a graph-based recommendation method to obtain
users/items embeddings, and then enhance the user-item interaction matrix via
top-K sampling. We also augment the symmetric user-user and item-item
correlation components to the adjacency matrix. Our experiments demonstrate
that the enhanced user-item interaction matrix with improved neighbors and
lower density leads to significant benefits in graph-based recommendation.
Moreover, we show that the inclusion of user-user and item-item correlations
can improve recommendations for users with both abundant and insufficient
interactions. The code is in \url{https://github.com/zfan20/GraphDA}.Comment: Short Paper Accepted by SIGIR 2023, 6 page
