Plastic Photonic Synapse Based on VCSOA for Self-Learning in Photonic Spiking…

We propose and demonstrate a plastic photonic synapse to achieve all-optical synaptic plasticity based on the potentiated and depressed dynamics in commercially available vertical-cavity semiconduc…

Self-Supervised Fusion for Multi-Modal Medical Images via Contrastive Auto-En…

This paper proposes a self-supervised framework based on a contrastive auto-encoding and convolutional information exchange for multi-modal medical fusion tasks. It is well known that multi-modal m…

Object-Level Scene Context Prediction

Contextual information plays an important role in solving various image and scene understanding tasks. Prior works have focused on the extraction of contextual information from an image and use it …

Microwave Photonic Interrogation of a High-Speed and High-Resolution Multipoi…

Microwave photonic interrogation of a high-speed and high-resolution multipoint refractive index (RI) sensor based on an Au-coated tilted fiber grating (Au-TFBG) array is proposed and experimentall…

Distributionally Robust Conditional Quantile Prediction with Fixed Design

Conditional quantile prediction involves estimating/predicting the quantile of a response random variable conditioned on observed covariates. The existing literature assumes the availability of ind…

Mining Interpretable AOG Representations From Convolutional Networks via Acti…

In this paper, we present a method to mine object-part patterns from conv-layers of a pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN). The mined object-part patterns are organized by an And-Or graph…

Extraction of an Explanatory Graph to Interpret a CNN

This paper introduces an explanatory graph representation to reveal object parts encoded inside convolutional layers of a CNN. Given a pre-trained CNN, each filter 1 in a conv-layer usually represe…

A Proposal for a High-Sensitivity Optical MEMS Accelerometer With a Double-Mo…

A proposal for a high-precision accelerometer based on a silicon optical microelectromechanical system (MEMS) is presented in this article. The device operating principle is that a sensitive mechan…

On-Chip Multi-Dimensional 1 x 4 Selective Switch With Simultaneous Mode-/Pola…

Analysts’ Beauty and Performance

We study whether sell-side financial analysts’ physical attractiveness is associated with their job performance. We find that attractive analysts make more accurate earnings forecasts than less a…
