Recent learning-based approaches have achieved impressive results in the
field of single-shot camera localization. However, how best to fuse multiple
modalities (e.g., image and depth) and to deal with degraded or missing input
are less wel...
On the Bloch-Kato conjecture for GSp(4)
March 12, 2020

Mathematics
Number Theory
We prove an explicit reciprocity law for the Euler system attached to the
spin motive of a genus 2 Siegel modular form. As consequences, we obtain one
inclusion of the Iwasawa Main Conjecture for such motives, and the Bloch--Kato
conjecture...
Onboard Ranging-based Relative Localization and Stability for
Lightweight Aerial Swarms

Lightweight aerial swarms have potential applications in scenarios where
larger drones fail to operate efficiently. The primary foundation for
lightweight aerial swarms is efficient relative localization, which enables
cooperation and colli...
Infinity-categorical universal properties of quotients and localizations

We show that certain hands-on A-infinity-categorical constructions satisfy
desirable universal properties in the infinity-category of A-infinity
categories. For sufficiently cofibrant A-infinity categories, two models for
quotients of A-inf...
Querying and Repairing Inconsistent Prioritized Knowledge Bases:

In this paper, we explore the issue of inconsistency handling over
prioritized knowledge bases (KBs), which consist of an ontology, a set of
facts, and a priority relation between conflicting facts. In the database
setting, a closely relate...
Bayesian Posterior Interval Calibration to Improve the Interpretability

Statistics
Applications
Observational healthcare data offer the potential to estimate causal effects
of medical products on a large scale. However, the confidence intervals and
p-values produced by observational studies only account for random error and
fail to ac...
SMap: Internet-wide Scanning for Spoofing
March 12, 2020

Computer Science
Cryptography and Security
To protect themselves from attacks, networks need to enforce ingress
filtering, i.e., block inbound packets sent from spoofed IP addresses. Although
this is a widely known best practice, it is still not clear how many networks
do not block ...
Lost in Disclosure: On The Inference of Password Composition Policies

Computer Science
Cryptography and Security
Large-scale password data breaches are becoming increasingly commonplace,
which has enabled researchers to produce a substantial body of password
security research utilising real-world password datasets, which often contain
numbers of recor...

According to a fundamental result in quantum computing, any unitary
transformation on a composite system can be generated using so-called 2-local
unitaries that act only on two subsystems. Beyond its importance in quantum
computing, this re...
Universal invariants, the Conway polynomial and the Casson-Walker-Lescop
invariant

Mathematics
Geometric Topology
We give a general surgery formula for the Casson-Walker-Lescop invariant of
closed 3-manifolds, seen as the leading term of the LMO invariant, in a purely
diagrammatic and combinatorial way. This provides a new viewpoint on a formula
