Fully Automatic Trace Gas Plume Detection

Future imaging spectrometers will increase data volumes by orders of magnitude, requiring automated detection of trace gas point sources. We present a fully automated framework that combines machine learning-based morphological analysis with physics-based spectroscopic fitting to detect plumes without human participation. Applied to EMIT imaging spectrometer data, the system operates in two modes: "daily digest" that runs automatically on all downlinked data, flagging the largest events for immediate response, and a retrospective analysis that identifies plumes missed by prior human review. The daily digest demonstrates that a significant fraction of the largest plumes can be detected automatically with negligible false positives, while retrospective analysis suggests at least 25% of plumes may have been overlooked. In addition to the previously observed methane point sources, we extend detection to three understudied trace gases: NH3, NO2 and the first observations of carbon monoxide (CO) plume in EMIT imagery.

Mars Image Content Classification: Three Years of NASA Deployment and Recent Advances

The NASA Planetary Data System hosts millions of images acquired from the planet Mars. To help users quickly find images of interest, we have developed and deployed content-based classification and search capabilities for Mars orbital and surface images. The deployed systems are publicly accessible using the PDS Image Atlas. We describe the process of training, evaluating, calibrating, and deploying updates to two CNN classifiers for images collected by Mars missions. We also report on three years of deployment including usage statistics, lessons learned, and plans for the future.

What Does CNN Shift Invariance Look Like? A Visualization Study

Feature extraction with convolutional neural networks (CNNs) is a popular method to represent images for machine learning tasks. These representations seek to capture global image content, and ideally should be independent of geometric transformations. We focus on measuring and visualizing the shift invariance of extracted features from popular off-the-shelf CNN models. We present the results of three experiments comparing representations of millions of images with exhaustively shifted objects, examining both local invariance (within a few pixels) and global invariance (across the image frame). We conclude that features extracted from popular networks are not globally invariant, and that biases and artifacts exist within this variance. Additionally, we determine that anti-aliased models significantly improve local invariance but do not impact global invariance. Finally, we provide a code repository for experiment reproduction, as well as a website to interact with our results at https://jakehlee.github.io/visualize-invariance.

Phased Breaking of mu-tau symmetry and Leptogenesis

Non-vanishing U_{e3} has been theoretically related to a certain flavor symmetry breaking in the neutrino sector. We propose a scenario to break the mu-tau symmetry so as to accommodate the non-vanishing U_{e3}. Our scenario is constructed in the context of a seesaw model, and the mu-tau symmetry breaking is achieved by introducing a CP phase in the Dirac Yukawa matrix. We also show how the deviation of theta_{23} from the maximal mixing and non-vanishing U_{e3} depend on the CP phase. Neutrino mixings and the neutrino mass-squared differences are discussed, and the amplitude in neutrinoless double beta decay m_{ee} are also predicted. We found that a tiny breaking of the mu-tau symmetry due to mass splitting between two degenerate heavy Majorana neutrinos on top of the Dirac CP phase can lead to successful leptogenesis. We examine how leptogenesis can be related with low energy neutrino measurement, and show that our predictions for U_{e3} and m_{ee} can be constrained by the current observation of baryon asymmetry.

A study of semi-inclusive charmless $B \to πX$ decays

We study semi-inclusive charmless decays $B \to πX$ in detail, such as $\bar B^0 \to π^{\pm (0)} X$, $B^0 \to π^{\pm (0)} X$, $B^{\pm} \to π^{\pm (0)} X$, where $X$ does not contain a charm (anti)quark. We find that the process $\bar B^0 \to π^- X$ ($B^0 \to π^+ X$) can be particularly useful for determination of the CKM matrix element $|V_{ub}|$. We calculate and present the branching ratio (BR) of $\bar B^0 \to π^- X$ as a function of $|V_{ub}|$, with an estimate of possible uncertainties. It is expected that the BR is an order of $10^{-4}$. Our estimation indicates that one can phenomenologically determine $|V_{ub}|$ with reasonable accuracy by measuring the BR of $\bar B^0 \to π^- X$ ($B^0 \to π^+ X$).

Measurement of |V_{ub}/V_{cb}| (and |V_{ub}|) in Exclusive Nonleptonic Decays, \bar{B}^0 --> D_s^{(*)-}(π^+,ρ^+) and \bar{B}^0 --> D_s^{(*)-}D^{(*)+}

We have studied extracting $|\vub/\vcb|$ by calculating the ratios ${\cal B}(\bar{B}^0\to D_s^{(*)-}(π^+,ρ^+))/{\cal B}(\bar{B}^0\to D_s^{(*)-}D^{(*)+})$ including penguin effects within the factorization assumption. The ratios involving $\bar{B}^0\to D_s^-D^{+}$ mode have considerable penguin corrections ($\sim 15%$ at the amplitude level), but those involving $\bar{B}^0\to D_s^-D^{*+}$ mode have relatively small penguin corrections. On the other hand, the $\bar{B}^0\to D_s^-D^{+}$ mode has smaller form-factor dependance. Therefore, these ratios complement each other in measuring $\vub/\vcb$. The theoretical uncertainty from the hadronic form factors in our method is at the level of 15%, which is comparable to the model-dependence uncertainty of about 20% in the measurement of $| \vub/\vcb |$ from the exclusive semileptonic B decays. Using the newest upper limit on $B\to D_s π$ decay from CLEO, our method sets an upper limit $| \vub/\vcb | < 0.13$ which is very close to the measured values from the semileptonic B decays. We also discuss the possible breaking of factorization assumption.

CP Violation in the Semileptonic B_{l4} (B^\pm -> pi^+ π^- l^\pm ν) Decays

Direct CP violations in $B_{l4}$ decays ($B^\pm \to π^+π^- l^\pm ν_l$) are investigated within the Standard Model (SM) and also in its extensions. In the decay processes, we include various excited states as intermediate states decaying to the final hadrons, $π^+ + π^-$. The CP violation within the SM is induced by the interferences between intermediate resonances with different quark flavors. As extensions of the SM, we consider CP violations implemented through complex scalar-fermion couplings in the multi-Higgs doublet model and the scalar-leptoquark models. We calculate the CP-odd rate asymmetry and the optimal asymmetry. We find that the optimal asymmetry can be measured at $1σ$ level with about $10^9$ $B$-meson pairs in the SM case and $10^3$--$10^7$ pairs in the extended model case, for maximally-allowed values of CP-odd parameters in each case.

CP Violation in the Semileptonic $B_{l4}$ ($B->D πl ν$) Decays: Multi-Higgs Doublet Model and Scalar-Leptoquark Models

CP violation from physics beyond the Standard Model is investigated in $B_{l4}$ decays: $B\to Dπl\barν_l$. In the decay process, we include various excited states as intermediate states decaying to the final hadrons, $D+π$. We consider the semileptonic decay to a tau lepton family as well. The CP violation is implemented through complex scalar--fermion couplings in the multi-Higgs doublet model and scalar-leptoquark models beyond the Standard Model. With these complex couplings, we calculate the CP-odd rate asymmetry and the optimal asymmetry. We find that for $B_{τ4}$ decays the optimal asymmetry is sizable and can be detected at $1σ$ level with about $10^6$-$10^7$ $B$-meson pairs, for maximally-allowed values of CP-odd parameters in those extended models.
