Semantic‐aware visual consistency network for fused image harmonisation by Huayan Yu, Hai Huang, Yueyan Zhu, Aoran Chen

“…First, the authors modify a lightweight image harmonisation backbone and combined it with a pretrained segmentation model, in which the extracted semantic features were fed to both the encoder and decoder. Then the authors implement a semantic‐related background‐to‐foreground style transfer by leveraging spatial separation adaptive instance normalisation (SAIN). …”

Secure computation protocol of Chebyshev distance under the malicious model by Xin Liu, Weitong Chen, Lu Peng, Dan Luo, Likai Jia, Gang Xu, Xiubo Chen, Xiaomeng Liu

“…This paper proposes a secure protocol for computing Chebyshev distance under a semi-honest model, leveraging the additive homomorphic properties of the NTRU cryptosystem and a vector encoding method. This protocol transforms the confidential computation of Chebyshev distance into the inner product of confidential computation vectors, as demonstrated through the model paradigm validating its security under the semi-honest model. …”

The Higgs mechanism — Hasse diagrams for symplectic singularities by Antoine Bourget, Santiago Cabrera, Julius F. Grimminger, Amihay Hanany, Marcus Sperling, Anton Zajac, Zhenghao Zhong

“…We identify this foliation with the pattern of partial Higgs mechanism of the theory and, using brane systems and recently introduced notions of magnetic quivers and quiver subtraction, we formalise the rules to obtain the Hasse diagram which encodes the structure of the foliation. While the unbroken gauge symmetry and the number of flat directions are obtainable by classical field theory analysis for Lagrangian theories, our approach allows us to characterise the geometry of the Higgs branch by a Hasse diagram with symplectic leaves and transverse slices, thus refining the analysis and extending it to non-Lagrangian theories. …”
