  abstract     = {{<jats:p>Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) can enable photon-number resolution (PNR) based on accurate measurements of the detector’s response time to few-photon optical pulses. In this work, we investigate the impact of the optical pulse shape and duration on the accuracy of this method. We find that Gaussian temporal pulse shapes yield cleaner arrival-time histograms and, thus, more accurate PNR, compared to bandpass-filtered pulses of equal bandwidth. For low system jitter and an optical pulse duration comparable to the other jitter contributions, photon numbers can be discriminated in our system with a commercial SNSPD. At 60 ps optical pulse duration, photon-number discrimination is significantly reduced. Furthermore, we highlight the importance of using the correct arrival-time histogram model when analyzing photon-number assignment. Using exponentially modified Gaussian distributions, instead of the commonly used Gaussian distributions, we can more accurately determine photon-number misidentification probabilities. Finally, we reconstruct the positive operator-valued measures of the detector, revealing sharp features that indicate the intrinsic PNR capabilities.</jats:p>}},

  abstract     = {{Large intermediate results can cause join queries to run unexpectedly long. This problem is particularly common for analytical queries, which aggregate data over many tables to produce a comparatively small final output, and queries on graph data, where intermediate results blow up quickly. Recent work inspired by Yannakakis’ algorithm approaches this by modifying the query engine to avoid materializing unnecessary tuples. However, this requires significant changes to the core of the system, which is not feasible in many situations such as cloud environments or proprietary systems.
In this work, we propose a flexible approach for optimizing long-running join queries from the outside of the DBMS. Rewriting-based realizations of Yannakakis’ algorithm suffer from inherent overhead due to the creation of intermediate tables. Thus, we present an approach for detecting and targeting queries which would benefit from a Yannakakis-style optimization. We introduce a new benchmark combining 5 standard benchmarks and augmenting them with additional instances, which provides a sufficient size and diversity for a machine learning based solution. On PostgreSQL, DuckDB and SparkSQL, slowdowns on queries where the rewriting is counterproductive are mostly avoided, as opposed to a naïve application of the rewriting, and we observe significant improvements in end-to-end runtimes over standard query execution and unconditional rewriting.}},

  abstract     = {{The governance of emerging technologies with increased autonomy in the military has become a topical issue in recent years, especially considering the rapid advances in artificial intelligence and related innovations in computer science. Despite this hype, the postcolonial subject’s position has been seen as secondary, often associated with victimhood or obscurity. By shifting the narrative to highlight the postcolonial subject’s agency—not only in providing real-world examples of artificial intelligence use in the military but also in knowledge creation and shaping the discourse on governance within the international, this paper contributes to an area of research that is often overlooked. The paper unpacks the norm-making efforts of postcolonial subjects regarding emerging military technologies. In doing this, the paper aims to advance postcolonial theory by showing how the dynamics of governing emerging military technologies intertwine with postcolonial subjectivity and to broaden the academic discussion on the governance of emerging military technologies and algorithmic violence, which has so far been dominated by Western or universalistic discourse.}},

  abstract     = {{Backchannels and fillers are important linguistic expressions in dialogue, but often treated as ‘noise’ to be bypassed in modern transformer-based language models. Our work studies the representation of them in language models using three fine-tuning strategies. The models are trained on three dialogue corpora in English and Japanese, where backchannels and fillers are preserved and annotated, to investigate how fine-tuning can help LMs learn their representations. We first apply clustering analysis to the learnt representation of backchannels and fillers, and have found increased silhouette scores in representations from fine-tuned models, which suggests that fine-tuning enables LMs to distinguish the nuanced semantic variation in different backchannel and filler use. We also use natural language generation (NLG) metrics and qualitative analysis to confirm that the utterances generated by fine-tuned language models resemble human-produced utterances more closely. Our findings suggest the potentials of transforming general LMs into conversational LMs that are more capable of producing human-like languages adequately.}},

  abstract     = {{In perovskite solar cells (PSCs), electron transport layers (ETLs) play an important role in the selection and transport of electrons. Understanding the properties of these layers in relation to device performance is essential for optimizing solar cell efficiency and enabling their integration into emerging architectures, such as flexible solar cells. Here, we deposited TiO2 at different thicknesses using atomic layer deposition (ALD), a technique well-suited for producing uniform and pinhole-free films. The crystal structure of the layers was controlled by depositing the films at three different temperatures: 150 °C, 250 °C, and 350 °C. The layers were characterized in detail to determine the morphology (by atomic force microscopy), surface composition (by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) and the crystal structure (by X-ray diffraction). The TiO2 layers were then incorporated as ETLs in planar perovskite solar cells to evaluate their influence on device performance. Higher deposition temperatures led to improvements in device fill factor and open-circuit voltage, leading to more efficient solar cells. Notably, the best device performance for the ALD-TiO2 layers was achieved with films deposited at 250 °C.}},
