We experimentally demonstrate a 4-stage and an 8-stage Ge/Si distributed traveling-wave photodetectors (TWPDs) with high RF output powers and large bandwidths. The genetic algorithm is utilized to …
In the canonical sequential search model, consumers inspect options consecutively until they decide to stop searching, a decision that occurs only once before consumers determine whether and what t…
We investigate self-homodyne coherent transmission employing space division multiplexing (SDM), where a continuous wave laser source is divided to produce spatially multiplexed signals and a co-pro…
Recent years have witnessed a big leap in automatic visual saliency detection attributed to advances in deep learning, especially Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). However, inferring the salien…
During the 2020 COVID-19 epidemic, the U.S. Congress passed the CARES Act that (among other measures) provides direct payments to households. Using a large debit cards database, we analyze consumer…
We experimentally demonstrate an elliptical-aperture multimode diversity receiver to mitigate the impairment from anisotropic turbulence, which is emulated by employing an electrically-controlled h…
Learning to generate continuous linguistic descriptions for multi-subject interactive videos in great details has particular applications in team sports auto-narrative. In contrast to traditional v…
The meme-centric memetic automaton (MA) was recently proposed as an adaptive entity or a software agent wherein memes are defined as the building blocks of knowledge. The conceptualization of MA ha…
We inscribe and characterize a series of helical intermediate-period fiber gratings (HIPFGs) on single-mode fiber with pitches from 24 μm to 48 μm. The fabricated HIPFGs have low temperature sens…
Deep neural networks achieve remarkable performance in many computer vision tasks. Most state-of-the-art (SOTA) semantic segmentation and object detection approaches reuse neural network architectu…
