Nonlinear surface magneto-plasmonics in Kretschmann multilayers
The nonlinear magneto-plasmonics aims to utilize plasmonic excitations to
control the mechanisms and taylor the efficiencies of the non-linear light
frequency conversion at the nanoscale. We investigate the mechanisms of
magnetic second harmonic generation in hybrid gold-cobalt-silver multilayer
structures, which support propagating surface plasmon polaritons at both
fundamental and second harmonic frequencies. Using magneto-optical spectroscopy
in Kretschmann geometry, we show that the huge magneto-optical modulation of
the second harmonic intensity is dominated by the excitation of surface plasmon
polaritons at the second harmonic frequency, as shown by tuning the optical
wavelength over the spectral region of strong plasmonic dispersion. Our
proof-of-principle experiment highlights bright prospects of nonlinear
magneto-plasmonics and contributes to the general understanding of the
nonlinear optics of magnetic surfaces and interfaces.Comment: Main Manuscript: 5 pages, 3 figures. Supplementary Information: 10

Long-term hail risk assessment with deep neural networks
Hail risk assessment is necessary to estimate and reduce damage to crops,
orchards, and infrastructure. Also, it helps to estimate and reduce consequent
losses for businesses and, particularly, insurance companies. But hail
forecasting is challenging. Data used for designing models for this purpose are
tree-dimensional geospatial time series. Hail is a very local event with
respect to the resolution of available datasets. Also, hail events are rare -
only 1% of targets in observations are marked as "hail". Models for nowcasting
and short-term hail forecasts are improving. Introducing machine learning
models to the meteorology field is not new. There are also various climate
models reflecting possible scenarios of climate change in the future. But there
are no machine learning models for data-driven forecasting of changes in hail
frequency for a given area.
The first possible approach for the latter task is to ignore spatial and
temporal structure and develop a model capable of classifying a given vertical
profile of meteorological variables as favorable to hail formation or not.
Although such an approach certainly neglects important information, it is very
light weighted and easily scalable because it treats observations as
independent from each other. The more advanced approach is to design a neural
network capable to process geospatial data. Our idea here is to combine
convolutional layers responsible for the processing of spatial data with
recurrent neural network blocks capable to work with temporal structure.
This study compares two approaches and introduces a model suitable for the
task of forecasting changes in hail frequency for ongoing decades
SensorSCAN: Self-Supervised Learning and Deep Clustering for Fault Diagnosis in Chemical Processes
Modern industrial facilities generate large volumes of raw sensor data during
the production process. This data is used to monitor and control the processes
and can be analyzed to detect and predict process abnormalities. Typically, the
data has to be annotated by experts in order to be used in predictive modeling.
However, manual annotation of large amounts of data can be difficult in
industrial settings.
In this paper, we propose SensorSCAN, a novel method for unsupervised fault
detection and diagnosis, designed for industrial chemical process monitoring.
We demonstrate our model's performance on two publicly available datasets of
the Tennessee Eastman Process with various faults. The results show that our
method significantly outperforms existing approaches (+0.2-0.3 TPR for a fixed
FPR) and effectively detects most of the process faults without expert
annotation. Moreover, we show that the model fine-tuned on a small fraction of
labeled data nearly reaches the performance of a SOTA model trained on the full
dataset. We also demonstrate that our method is suitable for real-world
applications where the number of faults is not known in advance. The code is
