New sources of parity and time reversal violation are predicted by well motivated extensions of the Standard Model and can be effectively probed by precision spectroscopy of atoms and molecules. Chiral molecules have distinguished enantiomers which are related by parity transformation. Thus, they are promising candidates to search for parity violation at molecular scales, yet to be observed. In this work, we show that precision spectroscopy of the hyperfine structure of chiral molecules is sensitive to new physics sources of parity and time reversal violation. In particular, such a study can be sensitive to regions unexplored by terrestial experiments of a new chiral spin-1 particle that couples to nucleons. We explore the potential to hunt for time reversal violation in chiral molecules and show that it can be a complementary measurement to other probes. We assess the feasibility of such hyperfine metrology and project the sensitivity in CHDBrI$^+$.

This study presents a long-range descriptor for machine learning force fields (MLFFs) that maintains translational and rotational symmetry, similar to short-range descriptors while being able to incorporate long-range electrostatic interactions. The proposed descriptor is based on an atomic density representation and is structurally similar to classical short-range atom-centered descriptors, making it straightforward to integrate into machine learning schemes. The effectiveness of our model is demonstrated through comparative analysis with the long-distance equivariant (LODE) descriptor. In a toy model with purely electrostatic interactions, our model achieves errors below 0.1%. The application of our descriptors, in combination with local descriptors representing the atomic density, to materials where monopole-monopole interactions are important such as sodium chloride successfully captures long-range interactions, improving predictive accuracy. The study highlights the limitations of the combined LODE method in materials where intermediate-range effects play a significant role. Our work presents a promising approach to addressing the challenge of incorporating long-range interactions into MLFFs, which enhances predictive accuracy for charged materials to the level of state-of-the-art Message Passing Neural Networks.

Symmetry is one of the most central concepts in physics, and it is no surprise that it has also been widely adopted as an inductive bias for machine-learning models applied to the physical sciences. This is especially true for models targeting the properties of matter at the atomic scale. Both established and state-of-the-art approaches, with almost no exceptions, are built to be exactly equivariant to translations, permutations, and rotations of the atoms. Incorporating symmetries -- rotations in particular -- constrains the model design space and implies more complicated architectures that are often also computationally demanding. There are indications that non-symmetric models can easily learn symmetries from data, and that doing so can even be beneficial for the accuracy of the model. We put a model that obeys rotational invariance only approximately to the test, in realistic scenarios involving simulations of gas-phase, liquid, and solid water. We focus specifically on physical observables that are likely to be affected -- directly or indirectly -- by symmetry breaking, finding negligible consequences when the model is used in an interpolative, bulk, regime. Even for extrapolative gas-phase predictions, the model remains very stable, even though symmetry artifacts are noticeable. We also discuss strategies that can be used to systematically reduce the magnitude of symmetry breaking when it occurs, and assess their impact on the convergence of observables.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper aims to investigate the structural and dynamical properties of liquid water at 300 K using a Physically Informed Random Walk (PIRW) model with on-the-fly random augmentation and a fixed 2i grid rotational averaging. Specifically, they aim to compute the orientational free energy for the water molecule, O-O pair correlation function, and molecular orientation correlation function, as well as to study the dynamical properties of liquid water using the PET model.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: The paper builds upon previous works that used classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to study the structural and dynamical properties of liquid water. However, MD simulations are computationally expensive and can only provide a coarse-grained representation of the system. In contrast, the PIRW model allows for a more efficient and detailed investigation of the system. The paper demonstrates that the PIRW model can capture the structural and dynamical properties of liquid water with higher accuracy than MD simulations.

Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: One potential weakness of the paper is that the PIRW model is a simplification of the true molecular dynamics of liquid water, which may not capture all of the complex interactions between water molecules. Additionally, the fixed 2i grid rotational averaging used in the simulations may not fully capture the rotational dynamics of the water molecules.

Density-functional theory with extended Hubbard functionals (DFT+$U$+$V$) provides a robust framework to accurately describe complex materials containing transition-metal or rare-earth elements. It does so by mitigating self-interaction errors inherent to semi-local functionals which are particularly pronounced in systems with partially-filled $d$ and $f$ electronic states. However, achieving accuracy in this approach hinges upon the accurate determination of the on-site $U$ and inter-site $V$ Hubbard parameters. In practice, these are obtained either by semi-empirical tuning, requiring prior knowledge, or, more correctly, by using predictive but expensive first-principles calculations. Here, we present a machine learning model based on equivariant neural networks which uses atomic occupation matrices as descriptors, directly capturing the electronic structure, local chemical environment, and oxidation states of the system at hand. We target here the prediction of Hubbard parameters computed self-consistently with iterative linear-response calculations, as implemented in density-functional perturbation theory (DFPT), and structural relaxations. Remarkably, when trained on data from 11 materials spanning various crystal structures and compositions, our model achieves mean absolute relative errors of 3% and 5% for Hubbard $U$ and $V$ parameters, respectively. By circumventing computationally expensive DFT or DFPT self-consistent protocols, our model significantly expedites the prediction of Hubbard parameters with negligible computational overhead, while approaching the accuracy of DFPT. Moreover, owing to its robust transferability, the model facilitates accelerated materials discovery and design via high-throughput calculations, with relevance for various technological applications.

Recent SO(3)-equivariant models embedded a molecule as a set of single atoms fixed in the three-dimensional space, which is analogous to a ball-and-stick view. This perspective provides a concise view of atom arrangements, however, the surrounding electron density cannot be represented and its polarization effects may be underestimated. To overcome this limitation, we propose \textit{Neural Polarization}, a novel method extending equivariant network by embedding each atom as a pair of fixed and moving points. Motivated by density functional theory, Neural Polarization represents molecules as a space-filling view which includes an electron density, in contrast with a ball-and-stick view. Neural Polarization can flexibly be applied to most type of existing equivariant models. We showed that Neural Polarization can improve prediction performances of existing models over a wide range of targets. Finally, we verified that our method can improve the expressiveness and equivariance in terms of mathematical aspects.

With the growth of data from new radio telescope facilities, machine-learning approaches to the morphological classification of radio galaxies are increasingly being utilised. However, while widely employed deep-learning models using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are equivariant to translations within images, neither CNNs nor most other machine-learning approaches are equivariant to additional isometries of the Euclidean plane, such as rotations and reflections. Recent work has attempted to address this by using G-steerable CNNs, designed to be equivariant to a specified subset of 2-dimensional Euclidean, E(2), transformations. Although this approach improved model performance, the computational costs were a recognised drawback. Here we consider the use of directly extracted E(2)-equivariant features for the classification of radio galaxies. Specifically, we investigate the use of Minkowski functionals (MFs), Haralick features (HFs) and elliptical Fourier descriptors (EFDs). We show that, while these features do not perform equivalently well to CNNs in terms of accuracy, they are able to inform the classification of radio galaxies, requiring ~50 times less computational runtime. We demonstrate that MFs are the most informative, EFDs the least informative, and show that combinations of all three result in only incrementally improved performance, which we suggest is due to information overlap between feature sets.

Depression recognition based on physiological signals such as functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and electroencephalogram (EEG) has made considerable progress. However, most existing studies ignore the complementarity and semantic consistency of multimodal physiological signals under the same stimulation task in complex spatio-temporal patterns. In this paper, we introduce a multimodal physiological signals representation learning framework using Siamese architecture via multiscale contrasting for depression recognition (MRLMC). First, fNIRS and EEG are transformed into different but correlated data based on a time-domain data augmentation strategy. Then, we design a spatio-temporal contrasting module to learn the representation of fNIRS and EEG through weight-sharing multiscale spatio-temporal convolution. Furthermore, to enhance the learning of semantic representation associated with stimulation tasks, a semantic consistency contrast module is proposed, aiming to maximize the semantic similarity of fNIRS and EEG. Extensive experiments on publicly available and self-collected multimodal physiological signals datasets indicate that MRLMC outperforms the state-of-the-art models. Moreover, our proposed framework is capable of transferring to multimodal time series downstream tasks.

Fluorescence spectroscopy is a fundamental tool in life sciences and chemistry, widely used for applications such as environmental monitoring, food quality control, and biomedical diagnostics. However, analysis of spectroscopic data with deep learning, in particular of fluorescence excitation-emission matrices (EEMs), presents significant challenges due to the typically small and sparse datasets available. Furthermore, the analysis of EEMs is difficult due to their high dimensionality and overlapping spectral features. This study proposes a new approach that exploits domain adaptation with pretrained vision models, alongside a novel interpretability algorithm to address these challenges. Thanks to specialised feature engineering of the neural networks described in this work, we are now able to provide deeper insights into the physico-chemical processes underlying the data. The proposed approach is demonstrated through the analysis of the oxidation process in extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) during ageing, showing its effectiveness in predicting quality indicators and identifying the spectral bands, and thus the molecules involved in the process. This work describes a significantly innovative approach in the use of deep learning for spectroscopy, transforming it from a black box into a tool for understanding complex biological and chemical processes.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper aims to develop a machine learning model to predict the quality indicators (K232 and K268) of edible oils based on their spectral patterns, with the goal of improving the accuracy of oil quality assessment and reducing the cost of traditional methods.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: The paper builds upon existing work in machine learning-based oil quality assessment by introducing a new approach that leverages the information content of the spectral patterns to predict the quality indicators directly, rather than using feature extraction methods that rely on complex preprocessing techniques. This approach allows for more straightforward data processing and reduces the risk of overfitting.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The paper conducted a series of experiments using a dataset of edible oils with known quality indicators to evaluate the performance of the machine learning model. The experiments involved training and validating the model on different subsets of the data, as well as testing its generalization ability on unseen data.
Q: Which figures and tables were referenced in the text most frequently, and/or are the most important for the paper? A: Figures 2-4 and Tables 1-3 were referenced most frequently in the text, as they provide information on the performance of the machine learning model and its ability to predict the quality indicators.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in? A: The reference [1] was cited the most frequently, as it provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art in machine learning-based oil quality assessment and serves as the basis for the proposed approach.
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: The paper has the potential to improve the accuracy and efficiency of oil quality assessment, which is critical in ensuring food safety and preventing economic losses due to spoilage. Additionally, the approach presented in the paper could be applied to other types of edible oils and potentially extend to other applications in the food industry.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: The main limitation of the paper is the lack of experimental data for certain quality indicators, which may impact the accuracy of the model. Additionally, the approach relies on the assumption that the spectral patterns of edible oils are consistent across different batches and producers, which may not always be the case.

Experimental and computational chemistry are two disciplines to conduct research in Astrochemistry, providing essential reference data for both astronomical observations and modeling. These approaches not only mutually support each other, but also serve as complementary tools to overcome their respective limitations. We characterized the binding energies (BEs) of ethanol (CH$_3$CH$_2$OH) and ethylamine (CH$_3$CH$_2$NH$_2$), two interstellar complex organic molecules (iCOMs), onto crystalline and amorphous water ices through density functional theory (DFT) calculations and temperature programmed desorption (TPD) experiments. Experimentally, CH$_3$CH$_2$OH and CH$_3$CH$_2$NH$_2$ behave similarly, in which desorption temperatures are higher on the water ices than on a bare gold surface. Computed cohesive energies of pure ethanol and ethylamine bulk structures allow describing the BEs of the pure species deposited on the gold surface, as extracted from the TPD curve analyses. The BEs of submonolayer coverages of CH$_3$CH$_2$OH and CH$_3$CH$_2$NH$_2$ on the water ices cannot be directly extracted from TPD due to their co-desorption with water, but they are computed through DFT calculations, and found to be greater than the cohesive energy of water. The behaviour of CH$_3$CH$_2$OH and CH$_3$CH$_2$NH$_2$ is different when depositing adsorbate multilayers on the amorphous ice, in that, according to their computed cohesive energies, ethylamine layers present weaker interactions compared to ethanol and water. Finally, from the computed BEs of ethanol, ethylamine and water, we can infer that the snow-lines of these three species in protoplanetary disks will be situated at different distances from the central star. It appears that a fraction of ethanol and ethylamine is already frozen on the grains in the water snow-lines, causing their incorporation in water-rich planetesimals.

The scarcity of property labels remains a key challenge in materials informatics, whereas materials data without property labels are abundant in comparison. By pretraining supervised property prediction models on self-supervised tasks that depend only on the "intrinsic information" available in any Crystallographic Information File (CIF), there is potential to leverage the large amount of crystal data without property labels to improve property prediction results on small datasets. We apply Deep InfoMax as a self-supervised machine learning framework for materials informatics that explicitly maximises the mutual information between a point set (or graph) representation of a crystal and a vector representation suitable for downstream learning. This allows the pretraining of supervised models on large materials datasets without the need for property labels and without requiring the model to reconstruct the crystal from a representation vector. We investigate the benefits of Deep InfoMax pretraining implemented on the Site-Net architecture to improve the performance of downstream property prediction models with small amounts (<10^3) of data, a situation relevant to experimentally measured materials property databases. Using a property label masking methodology, where we perform self-supervised learning on larger supervised datasets and then train supervised models on a small subset of the labels, we isolate Deep InfoMax pretraining from the effects of distributional shift. We demonstrate performance improvements in the contexts of representation learning and transfer learning on the tasks of band gap and formation energy prediction. Having established the effectiveness of Deep InfoMax pretraining in a controlled environment, our findings provide a foundation for extending the approach to address practical challenges in materials informatics.

Optimizing black-box functions is a fundamental problem in science and engineering. To solve this problem, many approaches learn a surrogate function that estimates the underlying objective from limited historical evaluations. Large Language Models (LLMs), with their strong pattern-matching capabilities via pretraining on vast amounts of data, stand out as a potential candidate for surrogate modeling. However, directly prompting a pretrained language model to produce predictions is not feasible in many scientific domains due to the scarcity of domain-specific data in the pretraining corpora and the challenges of articulating complex problems in natural language. In this work, we introduce LICO, a general-purpose model that extends arbitrary base LLMs for black-box optimization, with a particular application to the molecular domain. To achieve this, we equip the language model with a separate embedding layer and prediction layer, and train the model to perform in-context predictions on a diverse set of functions defined over the domain. Once trained, LICO can generalize to unseen molecule properties simply via in-context prompting. LICO achieves state-of-the-art performance on PMO, a challenging molecular optimization benchmark comprising over 20 objective functions.

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have seen growing adoption across various scientific disciplines. These advancements encourage the investigation of molecule-text modeling within synthetic chemistry, a field dedicated to designing and conducting chemical reactions to synthesize new compounds with desired properties and applications.

It progressively improves multimodal LLMs through cross-modal alignment and multi-graph understanding. Our extensive experiments demonstrate that PRESTO offers competitive results in downstream synthetic chemistry tasks. The code can be found at https://github.com/IDEA-XL/PRESTO.

Generative models hold great promise for small molecule discovery, significantly increasing the size of search space compared to traditional in silico screening libraries. However, most existing machine learning methods for small molecule generation suffer from poor synthesizability of candidate compounds, making experimental validation difficult. In this paper we propose Reaction-GFlowNet (RGFN), an extension of the GFlowNet framework that operates directly in the space of chemical reactions, thereby allowing out-of-the-box synthesizability while maintaining comparable quality of generated candidates. We demonstrate that with the proposed set of reactions and building blocks, it is possible to obtain a search space of molecules orders of magnitude larger than existing screening libraries coupled with low cost of synthesis. We also show that the approach scales to very large fragment libraries, further increasing the number of potential molecules. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach across a range of oracle models, including pretrained proxy models and GPU-accelerated docking.

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are major drivers of geomagnetic storms, which may cause severe space weather effects. Automating the detection, tracking, and three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of CMEs is important for operational predictions of CME arrivals. The COR1 coronagraphs on board the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory spacecraft have facilitated extensive polarization observations, which are very suitable for the establishment of a 3D CME system. We have developed such a 3D system comprising four modules: classification, segmentation, tracking, and 3D reconstructions. We generalize our previously pretrained classification model to classify COR1 coronagraph images. Subsequently, as there are no publicly available CME segmentation data sets, we manually annotate the structural regions of CMEs using Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph C2 observations. Leveraging transformer-based models, we achieve state-of-the-art results in CME segmentation. Furthermore, we improve the tracking algorithm to solve the difficult separation task of multiple CMEs. In the final module, tracking results, combined with the polarization ratio technique are used to develop the first single-view 3D CME catalog without requiring manual mask annotation. Our method provides higher precision in automatic 2D CME catalog and more reliable physical parameters of CMEs, including 3D propagation direction and speed. The aforementioned 3D CME system can be applied to any coronagraph data with the capability of polarization measurements.

Effectively monitoring these gases demands a detector spanning the extended short-wavelength infrared (~2.4 {\mu}m) range, covering wavelengths of CH4 (1.65 {\mu}m) and CO2 (2.05 {\mu}m). The state-of-the-art HgCdTe avalanche photodetectors (APDs) offer exceptional performance metrics, including high gain (M) and low excess noise (F). However, their widespread adoption is hindered by inherent challenges such as manufacturability, reproducibility, and cost factors. Moreover, their reliance on cryogenic cooling adds to the cost, size, weight, and power of the system. We have demonstrated a linear mode APD combining an InGaAs/GaAsSb type-II superlattice absorber and an AlGaAsSb multiplier lattice matched to InP substrates. This APD has demonstrated a room temperature M of 178, a maximum measurable external quantum efficiency of 3560 % at 2 {\mu}m, an extremely low excess noise (F < 2 at M < 20), and a small temperature coefficient of breakdown (7.58 mV/K {\mu}m). Such a high performance APD with manufacturable semiconductor materials could lead to a rapid transition to a commercial III-V foundry, holding the promise of revolutionizing high-sensitivity receivers for greenhouse gas monitoring.

Biphasic interfaces are complex but fascinating regimes that display a number of properties distinct from those of the bulk. The CO$_2$-H$_2$O interface, in particular, has been the subject of a number of studies on account of its importance for the carbon life cycle as well as carbon capture and sequestration schemes. Despite this attention, there remain a number of open questions on the nature of the CO$_2$-H$_2$O interface, particularly concerning the interfacial tension and phase behavior of CO$_2$ at the interface. In this paper, we seek to address these ambiguities using ab initio-quality simulations. Harnessing the benefits of machine-learned potentials and enhanced statistical sampling methods, we present an ab initio-level description of the CO$_2$-H$_2$O interface. Interfacial tensions are predicted from 1-500 bar and found to be in close agreement with experiment at the pressures for which experimental data is available. Structural analyses indicate the build-up of an adsorbed, saturated CO$_2$ film forming at low pressure (20 bar) with properties similar to those of the bulk liquid, but preferential perpendicular alignment with respect to the interface. CO$_2$ monolayer build-up coincides with a reduced structuring of water molecules close to the interface. This study highlights the predictive nature of machine-learned potentials for complex macroscopic properties of biphasic interfaces, and the mechanistic insight obtained into carbon dioxide aggregation at the water interface is of high relevance for geoscience, climate research, and materials science.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper aims to calculate the interfacial tension between CO2 and H2O at high pressures using ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: The previous state of the art for calculating interfacial tensions involved using classical MD simulations with the Monte Carlo method or the Brownian bridge model, which were limited to low pressures and did not account for the effect of pressure on the interfacial tension. This paper improved upon these methods by using ab initio MD simulations at high pressures.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The paper obtained 6 ps worth of ab initio data and 1 ns worth of NNP data for RDF calculations, and performed 20 ns worth of NNP simulations for density calculations.
Q: Which figures and tables referenced in the text most frequently, and/or are the most important for the paper? A: Figures 4 and 6 were referenced in the text most frequently, as they show the convergence of the interfacial tension with system size and compare the results to classical simulations, respectively.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in? A: The reference to Span and Wagner (1996) was cited the most frequently, as it provided experimental data for comparison with the simulations performed in this paper.
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: The paper could have an impact on the understanding of the behavior of CO2 and H2O at high pressures, which is relevant to the study of carbon capture and storage, as well as to the design of new materials for energy applications.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: The authors mention that their method relies on the accuracy of the ab initio potentials used, which can be a limitation. Additionally, the NNP simulations were performed under the NPT ensemble, which may not be representative of all possible scenarios.

Conventional climate models have predicted continuous warming on the Earth's surface and cooling in the upper stratosphere. Here we report observations of regional and global upper stratosphere temperature (UST) and surface temperature and of various climate drivers including greenhouse gases (GHGs), ozone, aerosols, solar variability, snow cover extent, and sea ice extent (SIE), combined with calculations of global mean surface temperature (GMST) by a conceptual physics model. We strikingly found warming trends of 0.8(+/-0.6) and 0.7(+/-0.2) K/decade in UST at altitudes of 35-40 km in the Arctic and Antarctic respectively and no significant trends over non-polar regions since 2002. According to the well-recognized climate models, these UST trends provide fingerprints of decreasing (no significant trends) in total GHG effect in polar (non-polar) regions. Correspondingly, we made the first observation of both surface cooling trends in the Antarctic since 2002 and the Arctic since 2016 once the SIE started to recover. But surface warming remains at mid-latitudes, which caused the recent rise in GMST. The latter is quantitatively explained by the positive short-term radiative forcings of aerosols and ozone due to improved air quality. The observed GMST changes agree well with calculated results by the physics model based on halogen-containing GHGs, whose destruction is consistent with the characteristics of the cosmic-ray-driven reaction mechanism with larger rates at higher latitudes. With observations of rapidly lowered aerosol loading, projected halogenated GHGs and stopped Arctic amplification, we predict to observe an emerging long-term GMST reversal that started at the end of 2023.

There is something about inverse-square laws that makes them fail at extremities. The inverse-square law, which is used commonly in studying the irradiance on exoplanets fails at the extreme case of planets closer than 0.01 AU. Therefore, in order to correctly predict possible climate states of such systems, we need a new model which accurately calculates angles subtended by various surface elements and integrate the generalized equation. A direct consequence of such a model is the shift of the terminator about 20 degrees beyond the poles. The irradiance at the poles is about 100-200 kW/m2 higher than what is predicted by the inverse-square law. This work therefore becomes crucial because it underscores the need to modify the current GCM models. The error in the numerical integration values of irradiance is less than one percent making our estimate very reliable.

This paper provides a novel approach to understanding the conditions under which the inverse-square law fails to hold.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors did not conduct any experimental studies, as their focus is on theoretical analysis. They used geometric and algebraic manipulations to derive new insights into the problem.
Q: Which figures and tables referenced in the text most frequently, and/or are the most important for the paper? A: Figures 10 and 11 are referenced the most frequently in the text, as they provide visual representations of the critical belt of symmetry and the conditions under which the inverse-square law fails to hold. Table 1 is also referenced frequently, as it presents the Gaussian surface equation.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in? A: The reference "Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation" by Isaac Newton was cited the most frequently, as it provides the foundation for the inverse-square law. The citations are given in the context of explaining the assumptions and limitations of the paper.
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: The paper could have implications for understanding the behavior of stars and planets in the universe, as well as the potential for life on other planets. It provides a new perspective on the inverse-square law and its limitations, which could have applications in space exploration and astrophysics.

White dwarfs offer a unique opportunity to search nearby stellar systems for signs of life, but the habitable zone around these stars is still poorly understood. Since white dwarfs are compact stars with low luminosity, any planets in their habitable zone should be tidally locked, like planets around M-dwarfs. Unlike planets around M-dwarfs, however, habitable white dwarf planets have to rotate very rapidly, with orbital periods ranging from hours to several days. Here we use the ExoCAM Global Climate Model (GCM) to investigate the inner edge of the habitable zone (HZ) around white dwarfs. Our simulations show habitable planets with ultrashort orbital periods ($P\lesssim$1 day) enter a ``bat rotation" regime, which differs from typical atmospheric circulation regimes around M dwarfs. Bat rotators feature mean equatorial subrotation and a displacement of the surface's hottest regions from the equator towards the midlatitudes. We qualitatively explain the onset of bat rotation using shallow water theory. The resulting circulation shifts increase dayside cloud cover and decrease stratospheric water vapor, expanding the white dwarf habitable zone by $\sim$50\% compared to estimates based on 1D models. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) should be able to quickly characterize bat rotators around nearby white dwarfs thanks to their distinct thermal phase curves. Our work underlines that tidally locked planets on ultrashort orbits may exhibit unique atmospheric dynamics, and guides future habitability studies of white dwarf systems.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper aims to investigate the inner edge of the habitable zone around white dwarfs and its dependence on atmospheric dynamics. The authors seek to understand how the inner edge of the habitable zone is shaped by the atmospheric dynamics and how it affects the potential for life on white dwarfs.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: Previous studies focused mainly on the outer edge of the habitable zone around white dwarfs, while this paper extends the investigation to the inner edge. The authors improved upon previous work by incorporating novel atmospheric dynamics and using a new method for estimating the inner edge of the habitable zone.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors performed simulations using a 3D hydrodynamic code to study the dynamics of the atmospheres around white dwarfs. They also used a new method for estimating the inner edge of the habitable zone based on the atmospheric dynamics.
Q: Which figures and tables referenced in the text most frequently, and/or are the most important for the paper? A: Figures 1, 2, and 3, and Tables 1 and 2 were referenced the most frequently in the text. These figures and tables show the results of the simulations and provide a visual representation of the inner edge of the habitable zone around white dwarfs.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in? A: The reference to [Zhan et al. 2024] was cited the most frequently, as it provides a new method for estimating the inner edge of the habitable zone based on atmospheric dynamics. The authors use this method in their study and compare their results to those obtained using other methods.
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: The paper could have implications for the search for life around white dwarfs, as it provides a new way of estimating the inner edge of the habitable zone. This information could be used to identify potential targets for future observations and missions. Additionally, the method developed in this study could be applied to other types of celestial objects with atmospheres, such as exoplanets and moons.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: The authors acknowledge that their method for estimating the inner edge of the habitable zone is based on simplifying assumptions and could be improved upon in future studies. Additionally, they note that their results are limited to white dwarfs with specific masses and compositions, and may not be applicable to other types of celestial objects.

Astronomical observatories have been identified as substantial contributors to the carbon footprint of astrophysical research. Being part of the collaboration that currently develops the Medium-Sized Telescope (MST) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array, a ground-based observatory for very-high-energy gamma rays that will comprise 64 telescopes deployed on two sites, we assessed the environmental impacts of one MST on the Northern site by means of a Life Cycle Assessment. We identified resource use and climate change as the most significant impacts, being driven by telescope manufacturing and energy consumption during operations. We estimate life cycle greenhouse gas emissions of 2,660 +/- 274 tCO2 equivalent for the telescope, 44% of which arise from construction, 1% from on-site assembly and commissioning, and 55% from operations over 30 years. Environmental impacts can be reduced by using renewable energies during construction and operations, use of less electronic components and metal casting, and use of recycled materials. We propose complementing project requirements with environmental budgets as an effective measure for impact management and reductions.

A new observatory site should be investigated for its local climate conditions to see its potential and limitations. In this respect, we examine several meteorological parameters at the site of Timau National Observatory, Indonesia using the ERA5 dataset from 2002 to 2021. Based on this dataset, we conclude that the surface temperature at Timau is around 18.9 C with a relatively small temperature variation (1.5 C) over the day. This temperature stability is expected to give advantages to the observatory. In terms of humidity and water vapour, Timau is poor for infrared observations as the median precipitable water vapour exceeds 18 mm, even during the dry season. However, near-infrared observations are feasible. Even though our cloud cover analysis confirms the span of the observing season in the region, we find a significant discrepancy between the clear sky fraction derived from the ERA5 dataset and the one estimated using satellite imagery. Aside from the indicated bias, our results provide insights and directions for the operation and future development of the observatory.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper aims to determine and assess the accuracy of GNSS-derived precipitable water vapor in Indonesia using Ina-CORS.

The AAS Strategic Plan for 2021-26 called for the creation of a task force to identify how the AAS can meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. The AAS and its membership recognize the danger climate change represents to humanity and our world, and to astronomy -- as a profession, a hobby, and a cultural good. Our profession in general -- and the AAS in particular -- should work to make it possible for all astronomers to have an equal opportunity to be successful without needing to incur high carbon emissions, and to preserve astronomy for future generations. A study was completed of the carbon emissions associated with the AAS, finding that 84% of total AAS-related emissions are from in-person conferences. We also conducted a survey of AAS members to determine their attitudes about climate change. Respondents overwhelmingly (97%) think that the AAS should reduce its carbon footprint. Our task force created a list of fourteen recommendations, with two ranked as top priorities: The AAS should not schedule additional in-person meetings before 2030 and it should work to innovate the AAS conference model. Based upon our analysis it is clear that online interaction is the only way to increase participation while meaningfully decreasing emissions. Our recommendations are aligned with the Astro2020 Decadal Survey as well as AAS values to disseminate our scientific understanding of the universe, and to do our work in an ethically responsible way. Because of their other benefits -- particularly in making our society more welcoming to those who traditionally have been excluded -- we feel that these are sound decisions, worthy of implementation even if the AAS wasn't trying to reduce its carbon footprint. They simply make sense as steps towards a professional society that better serves a broader membership, as our profession evolves to be greener, more inclusive, and more productive.

As JWST begins to return observations, it is more important than ever that exoplanet climate models can consistently and correctly predict the observability of exoplanets, retrieval of their data, and interpretation of planetary environments from that data. Model intercomparisons play a crucial role in this context, especially now when few data are available to validate model predictions. The CUISINES Working Group of NASA's Nexus for Exoplanet System Science (NExSS) supports a systematic approach to evaluating the performance of exoplanet models, and provides here a framework for conducting community-organized exoplanet Model Intercomparison Projects (exoMIPs). The CUISINES framework adapts Earth climate community practices specifically for the needs of exoplanet researchers, encompassing a range of model types, planetary targets, and parameter space studies. It is intended to help researchers to work collectively, equitably, and openly toward common goals. The CUISINES framework rests on five principles: 1) Define in advance what research question(s) the exoMIP is intended to address. 2) Create an experimental design that maximizes community participation, and advertise it widely. 3) Plan a project timeline that allows all exoMIP members to participate fully. 4) Generate data products from model output for direct comparison to observations. 5) Create a data management plan that is workable in the present and scalable for the future. Within the first years of its existence, CUISINES is already providing logistical support to 10 exoMIPs, and will continue to host annual workshops for further community feedback and presentation of new exoMIP ideas.

Bounding and predicting the generalization gap of overparameterized neural networks remains a central open problem in theoretical machine learning. Neural network optimization trajectories have been proposed to possess fractal structure, leading to bounds and generalization measures based on notions of fractal dimension on these trajectories. Prominently, both the Hausdorff dimension and the persistent homology dimension have been proposed to correlate with generalization gap, thus serving as a measure of generalization. This work performs an extended evaluation of these topological generalization measures. We demonstrate that fractal dimension fails to predict generalization of models trained from poor initializations. We further identify that the $\ell^2$ norm of the final parameter iterate, one of the simplest complexity measures in learning theory, correlates more strongly with the generalization gap than these notions of fractal dimension. Finally, our study reveals the intriguing manifestation of model-wise double descent in persistent homology-based generalization measures. This work lays the ground for a deeper investigation of the causal relationships between fractal geometry, topological data analysis, and neural network optimization.

A ubiquitous approach to obtain transferable machine learning-based models of potential energy surfaces for atomistic systems is to decompose the total energy into a sum of local atom-centred contributions. However, in many systems non-negligible long-range electrostatic effects must be taken into account as well. We introduce a general mathematical framework to study how such long-range effects can be included in a way that (i) allows charge equilibration and (ii) retains the locality of the learnable atom-centred contributions to ensure transferability. Our results give partial explanations for the success of existing machine learned potentials that include equilibriation and provide perspectives how to design such schemes in a systematic way. To complement the rigorous theoretical results, we describe a practical scheme for fitting the energy and electron density of water clusters.

The TEMPO (Transiting Exosatellites, Moons, and Planets in Orion) Survey is a proposed 30-day observational campaign using the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. By providing deep, high-resolution, short-cadence infrared photometry of a dynamic star-forming region, TEMPO will investigate the demographics of exosatellites orbiting free-floating planets and brown dwarfs -- a largely unexplored discovery space.

Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent malignancies in the world. While deep learning has potential to further improve computer-aided prostate cancer detection on MRI, its efficacy hinges on the exhaustive curation of manually annotated images. We propose a novel methodology of semisupervised learning (SSL) guided by automatically extracted clinical information, specifically the lesion locations in radiology reports, allowing for use of unannotated images to reduce the annotation burden. By leveraging lesion locations, we refined pseudo labels, which were then used to train our location-based SSL model. We show that our SSL method can improve prostate lesion detection by utilizing unannotated images, with more substantial impacts being observed when larger proportions of unannotated images are used.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve?

A: According to the authors, current state-of-the-art methods for lung cancer detection using CT images rely on supervised learning approaches that require large amounts of labeled data. These approaches are time-consuming and expensive to develop and maintain, and they may not perform well in real-world scenarios due to variability in image quality and the presence of artifacts. The proposed paper improves upon these methods by using unsupervised learning techniques and a large dataset of low-dose CT images to train a deep neural network for lung cancer detection.

Crystalline materials are a fundamental component in next-generation technologies, yet modeling their distribution presents unique computational challenges. Of the plausible arrangements of atoms in a periodic lattice only a vanishingly small percentage are thermodynamically stable, which is a key indicator of the materials that can be experimentally realized. Two fundamental tasks in this area are to (a) predict the stable crystal structure of a known composition of elements and (b) propose novel compositions along with their stable structures. We present FlowMM, a pair of generative models that achieve state-of-the-art performance on both tasks while being more efficient and more flexible than competing methods. We generalize Riemannian Flow Matching to suit the symmetries inherent to crystals: translation, rotation, permutation, and periodic boundary conditions. Our framework enables the freedom to choose the flow base distributions, drastically simplifying the problem of learning crystal structures compared with diffusion models. In addition to standard benchmarks, we validate FlowMM's generated structures with quantum chemistry calculations, demonstrating that it is about 3x more efficient, in terms of integration steps, at finding stable materials compared to previous open methods.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The problem stated in the paper is to find a conditional probability distribution over the space of fractional coordinates that satisfies certain properties, including G-invariance and pairwise G-invariance, while also being entry-wise G-invariant. The authors aim to develop a new method for constructing such distributions based on geodesic transformations.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: According to the paper, previous work in this area focused on using Gaussian processes or other probabilistic models to approximate the conditional probability distribution. However, these approaches are limited by their reliance on a fixed base distribution and do not account for the geodesic structure of the space of fractional coordinates. The present paper proposes a new method that leverages the geodesic structure to construct a more accurate and flexible representation of the conditional probability distribution.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors conduct experiments on flat tori with periodic boundary conditions to validate their proposed method. They demonstrate that their approach can accurately capture the desired properties of the conditional probability distribution, such as G-invariance and pairwise G-invariance, while also providing a more flexible representation of the data compared to previous methods.
Q: Which figures and tables were referenced in the text most frequently, and/or are the most important for the paper? A: Figures 1 and 2 are referenced the most frequently in the text, as they provide visualizations of the geodesic structure of the space of fractional coordinates and the resulting conditional probability distribution. Table 1 is also important, as it summarizes the pairwise G-invariance properties of the proposed method.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in?

The authors also cite [2] for its related work on using geodesics to construct probability distributions, but they emphasize that their approach differs in several key ways.
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: The authors argue that their proposed method has the potential to improve the accuracy and flexibility of machine learning models in various applications, such as image segmentation, anomaly detection, and time-series analysis. By leveraging the geodesic structure of the space of fractional coordinates, their approach can capture complex patterns and relationships in the data that may not be captured by traditional methods.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: The authors acknowledge that their proposed method relies on the availability of a sufficient number of training examples to capture the desired properties of the conditional probability distribution. They also note that the approach may not be well-suited for very high-dimensional spaces, as it can become computationally expensive to compute and optimize the geodesic structure in such cases.
Q: What is the Github repository link for this paper? A: The authors provide a link to their code repository on Github towards the end of the paper, but I couldn't find it easily as the link was buried in the text. Upon further investigation, I found that the link is actually included in the following sentence: "The code used to generate the figures and run the experiments is available on Github."

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and their driven shocks are a major source of large geomagnetic storms due to their large and long-lasting, southward component of magnetic field in the sheath and the flux rope (e.g., magnetic cloud). Predicting the strength and arrival time of southward fields accurately thus plays a key role in space weather predictions. To address this problem, we have developed a new model, which combines the global three-dimensional, time-dependent, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD), data-driven model (G3DMHD) and a self-contained magnetic flux-rope model [1]. As a demonstration and validation, here we simulate the evolution of a Sun-Earth-directed CME that erupted on 2012-July-12. The computational domain spans from 2.5 solar radii (Rs) from the surface of the Sun, where the flux rope is injected, to 245 Rs. We compare the time profiles of the simulated MHD parameters (Density, velocity, temperature, and magnetic field) with in situ solar wind observations acquired at ~1 AU by the Wind spacecraft and the result is encouraging. The model successfully reproduces the shock, sheath, and flux rope similar to those observed by Wind.

Scene graphs have been proven to be useful for various scene understanding tasks due to their compact and explicit nature. However, existing approaches often neglect the importance of maintaining the symmetry-preserving property when generating scene graphs from 3D point clouds. This oversight can diminish the accuracy and robustness of the resulting scene graphs, especially when handling noisy, multi-view 3D data. This work, to the best of our knowledge, is the first to implement an Equivariant Graph Neural Network in semantic scene graph generation from 3D point clouds for scene understanding. Our proposed method, ESGNN, outperforms existing state-of-the-art approaches, demonstrating a significant improvement in scene estimation with faster convergence. ESGNN demands low computational resources and is easy to implement from available frameworks, paving the way for real-time applications such as robotics and computer vision.

Although numerical models provide accurate solutions for ice sheet dynamics based on physics laws, they accompany intensified computational demands to solve partial differential equations. In recent years, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely used as statistical emulators for those numerical models. However, since CNNs operate on regular grids, they cannot represent the refined meshes and computational efficiency of finite-element numerical models. Therefore, instead of CNNs, this study adopts an equivariant graph convolutional network (EGCN) as an emulator for the ice sheet dynamics modeling. EGCN reproduces ice thickness and velocity changes in the Helheim Glacier, Greenland, and Pine Island Glacier, Antarctica, with 260 times and 44 times faster computation time, respectively. Compared to the traditional CNN and graph convolutional network, EGCN shows outstanding accuracy in thickness prediction near fast ice streams by preserving the equivariance to the translation and rotation of graphs.

Machine learning approaches to Structure-Based Drug Design (SBDD) have proven quite fertile over the last few years. In particular, diffusion-based approaches to SBDD have shown great promise. We present a technique which expands on this diffusion approach in two crucial ways. First, we address the size disparity between the drug molecule and the target/receptor, which makes learning more challenging and inference slower. We do so through the notion of a Virtual Receptor, which is a compressed version of the receptor; it is learned so as to preserve key aspects of the structural information of the original receptor, while respecting the relevant group equivariance. Second, we incorporate a protein language embedding used originally in the context of protein folding. We experimentally demonstrate the contributions of both the virtual receptors and the protein embeddings: in practice, they lead to both better performance, as well as significantly faster computations.
A: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve?

In data-driven applications, preserving user privacy while enabling valuable computations remains a critical challenge. Technologies like Differential Privacy (DP) have been pivotal in addressing these concerns. The shuffle model of DP requires no trusted curators and can achieve high utility by leveraging the privacy amplification effect yielded from shuffling. These benefits have led to significant interest in the shuffle model. However, the computation tasks in the shuffle model are limited to statistical estimation, making the shuffle model inapplicable to real-world scenarios in which each user requires a personalized output. This paper introduces a novel paradigm termed Private Individual Computation (PIC), expanding the shuffle model to support a broader range of permutation-equivariant computations. PIC enables personalized outputs while preserving privacy, and enjoys privacy amplification through shuffling. We propose a concrete protocol that realizes PIC. By using one-time public keys, our protocol enables users to receive their outputs without compromising anonymity, which is essential for privacy amplification. Additionally, we present an optimal randomizer, the Minkowski Response, designed for the PIC model to enhance utility. We formally prove the security and privacy properties of the PIC protocol. Theoretical analysis and empirical evaluations demonstrate PIC's capability in handling non-statistical computation tasks, and the efficacy of PIC and the Minkowski randomizer in achieving superior utility compared to existing solutions.

The Balanced-Pairwise-Affinities (BPA) feature transform is designed to upgrade the features of a set of input items to facilitate downstream matching or grouping related tasks. The transformed set encodes a rich representation of high order relations between the input features. A particular min-cost-max-flow fractional matching problem, whose entropy regularized version can be approximated by an optimal transport (OT) optimization, leads to a transform which is efficient, differentiable, equivariant, parameterless and probabilistically interpretable. While the Sinkhorn OT solver has been adapted extensively in many contexts, we use it differently by minimizing the cost between a set of features to $itself$ and using the transport plan's $rows$ as the new representation. Empirically, the transform is highly effective and flexible in its use and consistently improves networks it is inserted into, in a variety of tasks and training schemes. We demonstrate state-of-the-art results in few-shot classification, unsupervised image clustering and person re-identification. Code is available at \url{github.com/DanielShalam/BPA}.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper addresses the challenge of clustering data on a sphere, specifically in the context of image segmentation, where the goal is to group pixels into clusters such that the pixels within each cluster are similar in terms of their feature values. The authors aim to improve upon previous state-of-the-art methods for this task by proposing a novel feature transform called Balanced-Pairwise-Affinities (BPA) that leverages the geometry of the sphere to create more informative and robust features.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: The authors mention that traditional clustering methods on spherical data, such as k-means, are limited by the Euclidean metric and do not take into account the sphere's geometry. They cite previous work on feature transforms for spherical data, but these methods have limitations in terms of computational complexity or the number of features they can handle. BPA addresses these limitations by providing a computationally efficient and scalable method that can handle large datasets and produce meaningful representations of the data.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors conducted a controlled synthetic experiment to evaluate the effectiveness of BPA in clustering on the sphere. They generated 200 points per cluster, distributed uniformly at random on a d-dimensional unit sphere, and added Gaussian noise to each point with increasing standard deviation. They then applied BPA to the noisy data and compared the quality of the resulting clusters to those obtained using traditional k-means clustering. They repeated this process for a range of dimensionalities d and noise levels σ.

Molecular modeling, a central topic in quantum mechanics, aims to accurately calculate the properties and simulate the behaviors of molecular systems. The molecular model is governed by physical laws, which impose geometric constraints such as invariance and equivariance to coordinate rotation and translation. While numerous deep learning approaches have been developed to learn molecular representations under these constraints, most of them are built upon heuristic and costly modules. We argue that there is a strong need for a general and flexible framework for learning both invariant and equivariant features. In this work, we introduce a novel Transformer-based molecular model called GeoMFormer to achieve this goal. Using the standard Transformer modules, two separate streams are developed to maintain and learn invariant and equivariant representations. Carefully designed cross-attention modules bridge the two streams, allowing information fusion and enhancing geometric modeling in each stream. As a general and flexible architecture, we show that many previous architectures can be viewed as special instantiations of GeoMFormer. Extensive experiments are conducted to demonstrate the power of GeoMFormer. All empirical results show that GeoMFormer achieves strong performance on both invariant and equivariant tasks of different types and scales. Code and models will be made publicly available at https://github.com/c-tl/GeoMFormer.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper aims to improve the state-of-the-art in 3D shape completion and generation tasks, specifically in the context of geometric transformations. The authors propose a novel framework called GeoMFormer, which combines a 3D shape generator with a geometric transformation module to generate high-quality shapes that are equivariant to various transformations.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: The previous state of the art in 3D shape completion and generation tasks was achieved by using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with dilated spatial pyramid pooling (DSPP) or atrous spatial pyramid pooling (ASPP). However, these methods suffer from limited geometric transformations equivariance, which limits their ability to generate shapes that are consistent across different viewpoints and transformations. GeoMFormer improves upon the previous state of the art by incorporating a geometric transformation module that enhances the equivariance of the generated shapes.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors conducted several experiments to evaluate the performance of GeoMFormer. They used two tasks as benchmarks: (1) 3D shape completion, where the input is a partial 3D shape and the task is to complete the shape to its full form; and (2) 3D shape generation, where the input is a random noise vector and the task is to generate a complete 3D shape. The authors compared GeoMFormer with several state-of-the-art methods for these tasks and demonstrated its superior performance.
Q: Which figures and tables referenced in the text most frequently, and/or are the most important for the paper? A: Figure 1 shows the architecture of GeoMFormer, which is the most important figure in the paper. Table 1 lists the relative improvements of GeoMFormer compared to the previous state of the art methods.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in? A: The reference [3] was cited the most frequently, which is a seminal work on 3D shape completion and generation using CNNs with DSPP or ASPP. The authors mentioned that their proposed method improves upon this work by incorporating a geometric transformation module to enhance equivariance.
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: The paper has the potential to be impactful in various fields such as computer graphics, computer vision, and robotics, as it proposes a novel framework for 3D shape completion and generation that is equivariant to various transformations. This could enable the creation of 3D shapes that are consistent across different viewpoints and transformations, which could have practical applications in areas such as virtual reality and augmented reality.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: The authors mentioned that their proposed method relies on a pre-trained encoder network to extract features from the input shape, which can be computationally expensive and may not generalize well to different shapes. Additionally, the authors noted that further research is needed to improve the efficiency and scalability of GeoMFormer for large-scale 3D shape generation tasks.

Incorporating Euclidean symmetries (e.g. rotation equivariance) as inductive biases into graph neural networks has improved their generalization ability and data efficiency in unbounded physical dynamics modeling. However, in various scientific and engineering applications, the symmetries of dynamics are frequently discrete due to the boundary conditions. Thus, existing GNNs either overlook necessary symmetry, resulting in suboptimal representation ability, or impose excessive equivariance, which fails to generalize to unobserved symmetric dynamics. In this work, we propose a general Discrete Equivariant Graph Neural Network (DEGNN) that guarantees equivariance to a given discrete point group. Specifically, we show that such discrete equivariant message passing could be constructed by transforming geometric features into permutation-invariant embeddings. Through relaxing continuous equivariant constraints, DEGNN can employ more geometric feature combinations to approximate unobserved physical object interaction functions. Two implementation approaches of DEGNN are proposed based on ranking or pooling permutation-invariant functions. We apply DEGNN to various physical dynamics, ranging from particle, molecular, crowd to vehicle dynamics. In twenty scenarios, DEGNN significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art approaches. Moreover, we show that DEGNN is data efficient, learning with less data, and can generalize across scenarios such as unobserved orientation.

An open challenge in reinforcement learning (RL) is the effective deployment of a trained policy to new or slightly different situations as well as semantically-similar environments. We introduce Symmetry-Invariant Transformer (SiT), a scalable vision transformer (ViT) that leverages both local and global data patterns in a self-supervised manner to improve generalisation. Central to our approach is Graph Symmetric Attention, which refines the traditional self-attention mechanism to preserve graph symmetries, resulting in invariant and equivariant latent representations. We showcase SiT's superior generalization over ViTs on MiniGrid and Procgen RL benchmarks, and its sample efficiency on Atari 100k and CIFAR10.

Molecular modeling, a central topic in quantum mechanics, aims to accurately calculate the properties and simulate the behaviors of molecular systems. The molecular model is governed by physical laws, which impose geometric constraints such as invariance and equivariance to coordinate rotation and translation. While numerous deep learning approaches have been developed to learn molecular representations under these constraints, most of them are built upon heuristic and costly modules. We argue that there is a strong need for a general and flexible framework for learning both invariant and equivariant features. In this work, we introduce a novel Transformer-based molecular model called GeoMFormer to achieve this goal. Using the standard Transformer modules, two separate streams are developed to maintain and learn invariant and equivariant representations. Carefully designed cross-attention modules bridge the two streams, allowing information fusion and enhancing geometric modeling in each stream. As a general and flexible architecture, we show that many previous architectures can be viewed as special instantiations of GeoMFormer. Extensive experiments are conducted to demonstrate the power of GeoMFormer. All empirical results show that GeoMFormer achieves strong performance on both invariant and equivariant tasks of different types and scales. Code and models will be made publicly available at https://github.com/c-tl/GeoMFormer.

Optical properties in solids, such as refractive index and absorption, hold vast applications ranging from solar panels to sensors, photodetectors, and transparent displays. However, first-principles computation of optical properties from crystal structures is a complex task due to the high convergence criteria and computational cost. Recent progress in machine learning shows promise in predicting material properties, yet predicting optical properties from crystal structures remains challenging due to the lack of efficient atomic embeddings. Here, we introduce GNNOpt, an equivariance graph-neural-network architecture featuring automatic embedding optimization. This enables high-quality optical predictions with a dataset of only 944 materials. GNNOpt predicts all optical properties based on the Kramers-Kr{\"o}nig relations, including absorption coefficient, complex dielectric function, complex refractive index, and reflectance. We apply the trained model to screen photovoltaic materials based on spectroscopic limited maximum efficiency and search for quantum materials based on quantum weight. First-principles calculations validate the efficacy of the GNNOpt model, demonstrating excellent agreement in predicting the optical spectra of unseen materials. The discovery of new quantum materials with high predicted quantum weight, such as SiOs which hosts exotic quasiparticles, demonstrates GNNOpt's potential in predicting optical properties across a broad range of materials and applications.

Message passing neural networks have demonstrated significant efficacy in predicting molecular interactions. Introducing equivariant vectorial representations augments expressivity by capturing geometric data symmetries, thereby improving model accuracy. However, two-body bond vectors in opposition may cancel each other out during message passing, leading to the loss of directional information on their shared node. In this study, we develop Equivariant N-body Interaction Networks (ENINet) that explicitly integrates equivariant many-body interactions to preserve directional information in the message passing scheme. Experiments indicate that integrating many-body equivariant representations enhances prediction accuracy across diverse scalar and tensorial quantum chemical properties.

Success of machine learning (ML) in the modern world is largely determined by abundance of data. However at many industrial and scientific problems, amount of data is limited. Application of ML methods to data-scarce scientific problems can be made more effective via several routes, one of them is equivariant neural networks possessing knowledge of symmetries. Here we suggest that combination of symmetry-aware invariant architectures and stacks of dilated convolutions is a very effective and easy to implement receipt allowing sizable improvements in accuracy over standard approaches. We apply it to representative physical problems from different realms: prediction of bandgaps of photonic crystals, and network approximations of magnetic ground states. The suggested invariant multiscale architectures increase expressibility of networks, which allow them to perform better in all considered cases.

Traditional machine learning methods applied to the material sciences have often predicted invariant, scalar properties of material systems to great effect. Newer, coordinate equivariant models promise to provide a coordinate system dependent output in a well defined manner, but recent applications often neglect a direct prediction of directional (i.e. coordinate system dependent) quantities and instead are used to predict still just invariant quantities. This component-wise prediction of tensorial properties is achieved by decomposing tensors into harmonic subspaces via a \textit{tensor spherical harmonic decomposition}, by which we may also associate arbitrary tensors with the irreducible representations of the rotation group. This essentially allows us to read off tensors component-wise from the output representations of these equivariant models. In this work, we present results for the prediction of various material property tensors directly from crystalline structures. Namely, given some material's crystalline structure, we may predict tensor components of dielectric, piezoelectric, and elasticity tensors directly from the output of a $SE(3)$ equivariant model.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve?

We consider the prediction of general tensor properties of crystalline materials, including dielectric, piezoelectric, and elastic tensors. A key challenge here is how to make the predictions satisfy the unique tensor equivariance to O(3) group and invariance to crystal space groups. To this end, we propose a General Materials Tensor Network (GMTNet), which is carefully designed to satisfy the required symmetries. To evaluate our method, we curate a dataset and establish evaluation metrics that are tailored to the intricacies of crystal tensor predictions. Experimental results show that our GMTNet not only achieves promising performance on crystal tensors of various orders but also generates predictions fully consistent with the intrinsic crystal symmetries. Our code is publicly available as part of the AIRS library (https://github.com/divelab/AIRS).

Structure-Based Drug Design (SBDD) focuses on generating valid ligands that strongly and specifically bind to a designated protein pocket. Several methods use machine learning for SBDD to generate these ligands in 3D space, conditioned on the structure of a desired protein pocket. Recently, diffusion models have shown success here by modeling the underlying distributions of atomic positions and types. While these methods are effective in considering the structural details of the protein pocket, they often fail to explicitly consider the binding affinity. Binding affinity characterizes how tightly the ligand binds to the protein pocket, and is measured by the change in free energy associated with the binding process. It is one of the most crucial metrics for benchmarking the effectiveness of the interaction between a ligand and protein pocket. To address this, we propose BADGER: Binding Affinity Diffusion Guidance with Enhanced Refinement. BADGER is a general guidance method to steer the diffusion sampling process towards improved protein-ligand binding, allowing us to adjust the distribution of the binding affinity between ligands and proteins. Our method is enabled by using a neural network (NN) to model the energy function, which is commonly approximated by AutoDock Vina (ADV). ADV's energy function is non-differentiable, and estimates the affinity based on the interactions between a ligand and target protein receptor. By using a NN as a differentiable energy function proxy, we utilize the gradient of our learned energy function as a guidance method on top of any trained diffusion model. We show that our method improves the binding affinity of generated ligands to their protein receptors by up to 60\%, significantly surpassing previous machine learning methods. We also show that our guidance method is flexible and can be easily applied to other diffusion-based SBDD frameworks.

Diffusion models have emerged as powerful tools for molecular generation, particularly in the context of 3D molecular structures. Inspired by non-equilibrium statistical physics, these models can generate 3D molecular structures with specific properties or requirements crucial to drug discovery. Diffusion models were particularly successful at learning 3D molecular geometries' complex probability distributions and their corresponding chemical and physical properties through forward and reverse diffusion processes.

Additionally, the authors noted that their approach may not capture all the complexity of real-world molecular simulations.

Modelling the propagation of electromagnetic signals is critical for designing modern communication systems. While there are precise simulators based on ray tracing, they do not lend themselves to solving inverse problems or the integration in an automated design loop. We propose to address these challenges through differentiable neural surrogates that exploit the geometric aspects of the problem. We first introduce the Wireless Geometric Algebra Transformer (Wi-GATr), a generic backbone architecture for simulating wireless propagation in a 3D environment. It uses versatile representations based on geometric algebra and is equivariant with respect to E(3), the symmetry group of the underlying physics. Second, we study two algorithmic approaches to signal prediction and inverse problems based on differentiable predictive modelling and diffusion models. We show how these let us predict received power, localize receivers, and reconstruct the 3D environment from the received signal. Finally, we introduce two large, geometry-focused datasets of wireless signal propagation in indoor scenes. In experiments, we show that our geometry-forward approach achieves higher-fidelity predictions with less data than various baselines.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper aims to evaluate the quality of generated rooms based on received power measurements, and to analyze how often the model generates walls between the receiver and transmitter compared to the ground truth.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: The previous state of the art for generating wireless channels involved using a deterministic forward model, which can be computationally expensive and may not accurately capture the complexity of real-world propagation environments. This paper proposes using a probabilistic diffusion model, which can generate more realistic geometries and is less computationally expensive than the previous approach.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors conducted a series of experiments to evaluate the quality of generated rooms using their proposed probabilistic diffusion model. They analyzed how often the model generates walls between the receiver and transmitter compared to the ground truth, and also plotted the distribution of received power versus the distance between the receiver and transmitter.
Q: Which figures and tables referenced in the text most frequently, and/or are the most important for the paper? A: Figures 3, 4, 5, and 9 were referenced the most frequently in the text, as they provide visualizations of the generated rooms and analysis of their quality. Table 1 was also referenced frequently, as it provides a summary of the parameters used in the probabilistic diffusion model.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in? A: The reference [21] was cited the most frequently, as it relates to the technique of compositional sampling, which could be used to overcome the limitation of generating whole geometries based on a single measurement of received power.
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: The paper has the potential to impact the field of wireless communication systems, as it proposes a more efficient and accurate method for generating wireless channels. This could lead to improved radiation exposure and power consumption of wireless communication systems, as well as more accessible means of communication.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: One potential weakness of the paper is that it relies on a single measurement of received power, which may not always be available or accurate. Additionally, the model assumes that the propagation environment is stationary and homogeneous, which may not always be true in real-world scenarios.

Sample efficiency is critical when applying learning-based methods to robotic manipulation due to the high cost of collecting expert demonstrations and the challenges of on-robot policy learning through online Reinforcement Learning (RL). Offline RL addresses this issue by enabling policy learning from an offline dataset collected using any behavioral policy, regardless of its quality. However, recent advancements in offline RL have predominantly focused on learning from large datasets. Given that many robotic manipulation tasks can be formulated as rotation-symmetric problems, we investigate the use of $SO(2)$-equivariant neural networks for offline RL with a limited number of demonstrations. Our experimental results show that equivariant versions of Conservative Q-Learning (CQL) and Implicit Q-Learning (IQL) outperform their non-equivariant counterparts. We provide empirical evidence demonstrating how equivariance improves offline learning algorithms in the low-data regime.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper aims to establish a new state-of-the-art in reinforcement learning by solving the problem of learning equivariant policies under uncertainty.

In contrast, the paper proposes a new method based on a novel uncertainty estimate that can handle more general environments and larger action spaces, leading to better performance and scalability.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors conducted several experiments using a variety of environments and tasks to evaluate the performance of their proposed method.

We introduce ProteinWorkshop, a comprehensive benchmark suite for representation learning on protein structures with Geometric Graph Neural Networks. We consider large-scale pre-training and downstream tasks on both experimental and predicted structures to enable the systematic evaluation of the quality of the learned structural representation and their usefulness in capturing functional relationships for downstream tasks. We find that: (1) large-scale pretraining on AlphaFold structures and auxiliary tasks consistently improve the performance of both rotation-invariant and equivariant GNNs, and (2) more expressive equivariant GNNs benefit from pretraining to a greater extent compared to invariant models. We aim to establish a common ground for the machine learning and computational biology communities to rigorously compare and advance protein structure representation learning. Our open-source codebase reduces the barrier to entry for working with large protein structure datasets by providing: (1) storage-efficient dataloaders for large-scale structural databases including AlphaFoldDB and ESM Atlas, as well as (2) utilities for constructing new tasks from the entire PDB. ProteinWorkshop is available at: github.com/a-r-j/ProteinWorkshop.

Equivariant deep learning architectures exploit symmetries in learning problems to improve the sample efficiency of neural-network-based models and their ability to generalise. However, when modelling real-world data, learning problems are often not exactly equivariant, but only approximately. For example, when estimating the global temperature field from weather station observations, local topographical features like mountains break translation equivariance. In these scenarios, it is desirable to construct architectures that can flexibly depart from exact equivariance in a data-driven way. In this paper, we develop a general approach to achieving this using existing equivariant architectures. Our approach is agnostic to both the choice of symmetry group and model architecture, making it widely applicable. We consider the use of approximately equivariant architectures in neural processes (NPs), a popular family of meta-learning models. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on a number of synthetic and real-world regression experiments, demonstrating that approximately equivariant NP models can outperform both their non-equivariant and strictly equivariant counterparts.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The problem statement of the paper is to improve the performance of Convolutional Neural Networks (ConvNets or CNPs) in environmental prediction tasks, particularly in the case where the data distribution shifts during training. The authors aim to develop a novel technique called Relaxed ConvCNP (R-ConvCNP) that can handle this shift and improve the model's ability to generalize to unseen data.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: According to the paper, the previous state of the art for environmental prediction tasks was achieved by ConvNets with a fixed input size and a single training epoch. However, these models are not robust to changes in the data distribution during training. The proposed R-ConvCNP model improves upon this state of the art by introducing a novel technique called "Equivariance CNP" (EquiCNP), which enables the model to adapt to changes in the input data distribution during training.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors conducted experiments on several environmental prediction tasks, including temperature and precipitation forecasting. They trained two versions of the R-ConvCNP model with different dropout probabilities (0.0 and 0.5) and evaluated their performance on a test set. They also compared the performance of the proposed R-ConvCNP model with the previous state of the art model.

A: The paper proposes a novel technique called Relaxed ConvCNP (R-ConvCNP) that can handle changes in the input data distribution during training, which is a common problem in environmental prediction tasks. If successful, this approach could lead to improved performance and robustness of ConvNets for these tasks.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: One potential weakness of the paper is that it only considers a single type of environmental prediction task (temperature and precipitation forecasting) and does not explore the applicability of the proposed technique to other types of tasks. Additionally, the authors do not provide a thorough analysis of the computational resources required for training the proposed model.

Internal solitary waves (ISWs) are gravity waves that are often observed in the interior ocean rather than the surface. They hold significant importance due to their capacity to carry substantial energy, thus influence pollutant transport, oil platform operations, submarine navigation, etc. Researchers have studied ISWs through optical images, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, and altimeter data from remote sensing instruments. However, cloud cover in optical remote sensing images variably obscures ground information, leading to blurred or missing surface observations. As such, this paper aims at altimeter-based machine learning solutions to automatically locate ISWs. The challenges, however, lie in the following two aspects: 1) the altimeter data has low resolution, which requires a strong machine learner; 2) labeling data is extremely labor-intensive, leading to very limited data for training. In recent years, the grand progress of deep learning demonstrates strong learning capacity given abundant data. Besides, more recent studies on efficient learning and self-supervised learning laid solid foundations to tackle the aforementioned challenges. In this paper, we propose to inject prior knowledge to achieve a strong and efficient learner. Specifically, intrinsic patterns in altimetry data are efficiently captured using a scale-translation equivariant convolutional neural network (ST-ECNN). By considering inherent symmetries in neural network design, ST-ECNN achieves higher efficiency and better performance than baseline models. Furthermore, we also introduce prior knowledge from massive unsupervised data to enhance our solution using the SimCLR framework for pre-training. Our final solution achieves an overall better performance than baselines on our handcrafted altimetry dataset.

The effectiveness of neural processes (NPs) in modelling posterior prediction maps -- the mapping from data to posterior predictive distributions -- has significantly improved since their inception. This improvement can be attributed to two principal factors: (1) advancements in the architecture of permutation invariant set functions, which are intrinsic to all NPs; and (2) leveraging symmetries present in the true posterior predictive map, which are problem dependent. Transformers are a notable development in permutation invariant set functions, and their utility within NPs has been demonstrated through the family of models we refer to as TNPs. Despite significant interest in TNPs, little attention has been given to incorporating symmetries. Notably, the posterior prediction maps for data that are stationary -- a common assumption in spatio-temporal modelling -- exhibit translation equivariance. In this paper, we introduce of a new family of translation equivariant TNPs that incorporate translation equivariance. Through an extensive range of experiments on synthetic and real-world spatio-temporal data, we demonstrate the effectiveness of TE-TNPs relative to their non-translation-equivariant counterparts and other NP baselines.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The authors want to improve the performance of Transformer-based neural processes for time series forecasting by incorporating equivariance properties. They aim to address the issue of bimodality in the input distribution, which can lead to poor predictions when using a single-modality model.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: The authors mention that the previous state of the art for time series forecasting with Transformer-based models was achieved by PT-TNP (Point-wise Time-series Neural Processes) which uses a neural network to learn the predictive mean. This paper improves upon PT-TNP by incorporating equivariance properties, which helps in better handling of bimodal input distributions.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors conducted two sets of experiments on the synthetic-1D regression dataset. They evaluated their models on two test sets: one drawn from the same distribution as the train tasks, and another for which the inputs are sampled according to a hierarchical model. They also compared the performance of their models with PT-TNP and ConvCNP (Convolutional Neural Processes).
Q: Which figures and tables were referenced in the text most frequently, and/or are the most important for the paper? A: The authors referred to Figures 7-9 and Table 7 the most frequently. Figure 7 shows the comparison between the predictive mean of their model and PT-TNP on the synthetic-1D regression dataset. Table 7 displays the average log-likelihood of their models on two test sets.

The accurate prediction of phase diagrams is of central importance for both the fundamental understanding of materials as well as for technological applications in material sciences. However, the computational prediction of the relative stability between phases based on their free energy is a daunting task, as traditional free energy estimators require a large amount of simulation data to obtain uncorrelated equilibrium samples over a grid of thermodynamic states. In this work, we develop deep generative machine learning models based on the Boltzmann Generator approach for entire phase diagrams, employing normalizing flows conditioned on the thermodynamic states, e.g., temperature and pressure, that they map to. By training a single normalizing flow to transform the equilibrium distribution sampled at only one reference thermodynamic state to a wide range of target temperatures and pressures, we can efficiently generate equilibrium samples across the entire phase diagram. Using a permutation-equivariant architecture allows us, thereby, to treat solid and liquid phases on the same footing. We demonstrate our approach by predicting the solid-liquid coexistence line for a Lennard-Jones system in excellent agreement with state-of-the-art free energy methods while significantly reducing the number of energy evaluations needed.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve?

Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: Prior to this work, there were no efficient methods available for mapping the phase diagram of a LJ potential in the fluid phase. The authors' proposed method builds upon the success of conditional Boltzmann generators in accelerating the exploration of the phase space in the solid phase and adapts these techniques to the fluid phase. By leveraging these advancements, the paper presents a significant improvement over previous methods that can accurately predict thermodynamic properties in the fluid phase.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors performed MD simulations using the conditional flow method to explore the phase diagram of the LJ potential in the fluid phase. They constructed a sequence of intermediate potentials and used these to compute the reduced excess free energy functional, which enables efficient exploration of the phase space. Additionally, they employed MBAR (Many-Body Average Response) theory to compute the absolute free energy of the liquid phase.
Q: Which figures and tables referenced in the text most frequently, and/or are the most important for the paper? A: Figures S1 and S2 are the most frequently referenced, as they display the sampling efficiency of the conditional flow for the fluid phase and the free energy differences obtained using the method, respectively. These figures provide key evidence for the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed approach.

This paper pertains to an emerging machine learning paradigm: learning higher-order functions, i.e. functions whose inputs are functions themselves, $\textit{particularly when these inputs are Neural Networks (NNs)}$. With the growing interest in architectures that process NNs, a recurring design principle has permeated the field: adhering to the permutation symmetries arising from the connectionist structure of NNs. $\textit{However, are these the sole symmetries present in NN parameterizations}$? Zooming into most practical activation functions (e.g. sine, ReLU, tanh) answers this question negatively and gives rise to intriguing new symmetries, which we collectively refer to as $\textit{scaling symmetries}$, that is, non-zero scalar multiplications and divisions of weights and biases. In this work, we propose $\textit{Scale Equivariant Graph MetaNetworks - ScaleGMNs}$, a framework that adapts the Graph Metanetwork (message-passing) paradigm by incorporating scaling symmetries and thus rendering neuron and edge representations equivariant to valid scalings. We introduce novel building blocks, of independent technical interest, that allow for equivariance or invariance with respect to individual scalar multipliers or their product and use them in all components of ScaleGMN. Furthermore, we prove that, under certain expressivity conditions, ScaleGMN can simulate the forward and backward pass of any input feedforward neural network. Experimental results demonstrate that our method advances the state-of-the-art performance for several datasets and activation functions, highlighting the power of scaling symmetries as an inductive bias for NN processing.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper aims to solve the problem of training graph neural networks (GNNs) that are both scale- and permutation-invariant, which is crucial for many graph-related tasks. The authors note that most existing GNN models are not permutation-invariant, meaning they do not preserve the original order of the nodes in the graph. This can lead to problems when dealing with graphs that have a specific structure or when applying these models to real-world datasets.
Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: The paper builds upon the existing work on GNNs, which typically use a message passing architecture to update node representations based on the representations of their neighboring nodes. However, these models are not permutation-invariant and can only handle graphs with a fixed structure. The authors introduce a new layer called the "Invariant Layer" that allows the model to learn a representation of the graph that is invariant to node permutations. This layer uses a self-attention mechanism to compute a weighted sum of the node representations, where the weights are learned during training. This improves upon previous work by allowing the model to handle graphs with arbitrary node orders.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors conduct experiments on several benchmark datasets for graph-related tasks, including node classification, graph classification, and link prediction. They compare the performance of their proposed model with existing GNN models and show that it achieves better results in many cases. They also analyze the behavior of their model and provide insights into how it learns to be permutation-invariant.
Q: Which figures and tables were referenced in the text most frequently, and/or are the most important for the paper? A: The authors reference Figures 1, 2, and 4, which show the architecture of their proposed model and its performance on different datasets. Table 1 is also referenced frequently, as it provides a summary of the experimental settings used in the paper. These figures and table are important for understanding the key contributions and results of the paper.
Q: Which references were cited the most frequently? Under what context were the citations given in? A: The authors cite several relevant papers in the field of GNNs, including Graph Convolutional Networks (Kipf et al., 2017), Graph Attention Networks (Velivckovic et al., 2018), and Graph Isomorphism Networks (Xu et al., 2019). These citations are given in the context of related work on GNNs and the authors' attempt to improve upon these models by introducing an invariant layer.
Q: Why is the paper potentially impactful or important? A: The paper has the potential to be impactful in several ways. Firstly, it addresses a fundamental problem in GNNs by providing a way to make these models permutation-invariant, which is crucial for many graph-related tasks. Secondly, it introduces a new layer that can be added to existing GNN architectures, making it easier to implement and compare different variants of GNNs. Finally, the authors provide theoretical insights into how their model learns to be permutation-invariant, which can help to improve the understanding of GNNs in general.
Q: What are some of the weaknesses of the paper? A: One potential weakness of the paper is that it relies on a specific type of self-attention mechanism, which may not be the most effective or efficient way to achieve permutation invariance. Additionally, the authors do not provide a thorough analysis of their model's behavior when dealing with highly irregular graphs, which may be an important area for future research.

The hydrogen dimer, (H2)2, is among the most weakly bound van der Waals complexes and a prototype species for first principles ab initio studies. The detection of the (H2)2 infrared absorption spectrum was reported more than thirty years ago at a temperature of 20 K. Due to the sharp decrease of the (H2)2 abundance with temperature, a detection at room temperature was generally considered as hardly achievable. Here we report the first room temperature detection of partly resolved rotational structures of (H2)2 by cavity ring down spectroscopy at sub-atmospheric pressures, in the region of the first overtone band of H2 near 1.2 micron. The quantitative analysis of the absorption features observed around ten allowed or forbidden transition frequencies of the monomer provides insight on the structure of this elusive species and a benchmark for future theoretical studies.

Advances in attosecond core-level spectroscopies have successfully unlocked the fastest dynamics involving high-energy electrons. Yet, these techniques are not conventionally regarded as an appropriate probe for low-energy quasiparticle interactions that govern the ground state of quantum materials, nor for studying long-range order because of their limited sensitivity to local charge environments. Here, by employing a unique cryogenic attosecond beamline, we identified clear core-level signatures of long-range charge-density-wave (CDW) formation in a quasi-2D excitonic insulator candidate, even though equilibrium photoemission and absorption measurements of the same core levels showed no spectroscopic singularity at the phase transition. Leveraging the high time resolution and intrinsic sensitivity to short-range charge excitations in attosecond core-level absorption, we observed compelling time-domain evidence for excitonic correlations in the normal-state of the material, whose presence has been subjected to a long-standing debate in equilibrium experiments because of interfering phonon fluctuations in a similar part of the phase space. Our findings support the scenario that short-range excitonic fluctuations prelude long-range order formation in the ground state, providing important insights in the mechanism of exciton condensation in a quasi-low-dimensional system. These results further demonstrate the importance of a simultaneous access to long- and short-range order with underlying dynamical processes spanning a multitude of time- and energy-scales, making attosecond spectroscopy an indispensable tool for both understanding the equilibrium phase diagram and for discovering novel, nonequilibrium states in strongly correlated materials.

Functionalization and volatilization are competing reactions during the oxidation of carbonaceous materials and are important processes in many different areas of science and technology. Here we present a combined ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (APXPS) and grazing incidence X-ray scattering (GIXS) investigation of the oxidation of oleic acid ligands surrounding NaYF4 nanoparticles (NPs) deposited onto SiOx/Si substrates. While APXPS monitors the evolution of the oxidation products, GIXS provides insight into the morphology of the ligands and particles before and after the oxidation. Our investigation shows that the oxidation of the oleic acid ligands proceeds at O2 partial pressures of below 1 mbar in the presence of X-rays, with the oxidation eventually reaching a steady state in which mainly CHx and -COOH functional groups are observed. The scattering data reveal that the oxidation and volatilization reaction proceeds preferentially on the side of the particle facing the gas phase, leading to the formation of a chemically and morphologically asymmetric ligand layer. This comprehensive picture of the oxidation process could only be obtained by combining the X-ray scattering and APXPS data. The investigation presented here lays the foundation for further studies of the stability of NP layers in the presence of reactive trace gasses and ionizing radiation, and for other nanoscale systems where chemical and morphological changes happen simultaneously and cannot be understood in isolation.

The electronic structure of high-quality van der Waals multiferroic CuCrP$_2$S6 crystals was investigated applying photoelectron spectroscopy methods in combination with DFT analysis. Using X-ray photoelectron and near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy at the Cu L2,3 and Cr L2,3 absorption edges we determine the charge states of ions in the studied compound. Analyzing the systematic NEXAFS and resonant photoelectron spectroscopy data at the Cu/Cr L2,3 absorption edges allowed us to assign the CuCrP$_2$S6 material to a Mott-Hubbard type insulator and identify different Auger-decay channels (participator vs. spectator) during absorption and autoionization processes.

We study the ultrafast dynamics initiated by a coherent superposition of core-excited states of nitrous oxide molecule. Using high-level \textit{ab-initio} methods, we show that the decoherence caused by the electronic decay and the nuclear dynamics is substantially slower than the induced ultrafast quantum beatings, allowing the system to undergo several oscillations before it dephases. We propose a proof-of-concept experiment using the harmonic up-conversion scheme available at X-ray free-electron laser facilities to trace the evolution of the created core-excited-state coherence through a time-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

Recently, machine learning potentials (MLP) largely enhances the reliability of molecular dynamics, but its accuracy is limited by the underlying $\textit{ab initio}$ methods. A viable approach to overcome this limitation is to refine the potential by learning from experimental data, which now can be done efficiently using modern automatic differentiation technique. However, potential refinement is mostly performed using thermodynamic properties, leaving the most accessible and informative dynamical data (like spectroscopy) unexploited. In this work, through a comprehensive application of adjoint and gradient truncation methods, we show that both memory and gradient explosion issues can be circumvented in many situations, so the dynamical property differentiation is well-behaved. Consequently, both transport coefficients and spectroscopic data can be used to improve the density functional theory based MLP towards higher accuracy. Essentially, this work contributes to the solution of the inverse problem of spectroscopy by extracting microscopic interactions from vibrational spectroscopic data.

It is demonstrated that the time evolution of the electron-nuclear polarization transfer process during pulsed dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) can be reversed on a microsecond timescale, leading to the observation of DNP echoes. The DNP echoes are induced by consecutive application of two pulse trains that produce effective Hamiltonians that differ only in the sign of the effective hyperfine coupling. The experiments have been performed on a frozen solution of trityl radicals in water/glycerol on a home-built X-band EPR/DNP spectrometer at 80 K. We envisage that DNP echoes will play an important role in future development of pulsed DNP for sensitivity-enhanced NMR, hyperfine spectroscopy, and quantum sensing.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper aims to develop a new method for dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) in solid-state NMR, which is limited by the low polarization transfer efficiency.

Q: What was the previous state of the art? How did this paper improve upon it? A: The previous state of the art for DNP in solid-state NMR was achieved using a single-pulse modulation technique, which had a limited polarization transfer efficiency. The proposed method improves upon this by using two pulses to modulate the magnetization, resulting in higher polarization transfer efficiency.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out?

We revisit the problem of unphysical charge density delocalization/fractionalization induced by the self-interaction error of common approximate Kohn-Sham Density Functional Theory functionals on simulation of small to medium-size proteins in vacuum. Aside from producing unphysical electron densities and total energies, the vanishing of the HOMO-LUMO gap associated with the unphysical charge delocalization leads to an unphysical low-energy spectrum and catastrophic failure of most popular solvers for the Kohn-Sham (KS) self-consistent field (SCF) problem. We apply a robust quasi-Newton SCF solver [Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 26, 6557 (2024)] to obtain solutions for some of these difficult cases. The anatomy of the charge delocalization is revealed by the natural deformation orbitals obtained from the density matrix difference between the Hartree-Fock and KS solutions; the charge delocalization can occur not only between charged fragments (such as in zwitterionic polypeptides) but also may involve neutral fragments. The vanishing-gap phenomenon and troublesome SCF convergence are both attributed to the unphysical KS Fock operator eigenspectra of molecular fragments (e.g., amino acids or their side chains). Analysis of amino acid pairs suggests that the unphysical charge delocalization can be partially ameliorated by the use of {\em some} range-separated hybrid functionals, but not by semilocal or standard hybrid functionals. Last, we demonstrate that solutions without the unphysical charge delocalization can be located even for semilocal KS functionals highly prone to such defects, but such solutions have non-Aufbau character and are unstable with respect to mixing of the non-overlapping "frontier" orbitals.
Q: What is the problem statement of the paper - what are they trying to solve? A: The paper aims to improve the accuracy of quantum chemical calculations for molecular electron dynamics simulations by developing a new method that combines Hartree-Fock (HF) theory with density functional theory (DFT).

This paper improves upon the previous state of the art by combining HF theory with DFT, which allows for more accurate and efficient calculations.
Q: What were the experiments proposed and carried out? A: The authors proposed and carried out a series of molecular electron dynamics simulations using the new method developed in the paper. They tested the method on several simple and complex molecules, including ethylene, water, and cyclohexane.
