SAMOFT: Robust Multi-Object Tracking via Region and Flow

Multi-object tracking (MOT) is a fundamental task in computer vision that requires continuously tracking multiple targets while maintaining consistent identities across frames. However, most existing approaches primarily rely on instance-level object features for trajectory association, which often leads to degraded performance under challenging conditions such as object deformation, nonlinear motion, and occlusion. In this work, we propose SAMOFT, a robust tracker that leverages pixel-level cues to improve robustness under complex motion scenarios. Specifically, we introduce a Pixel Motion Matching (PMM) module that integrates the Segment Anything Model (SAM) with dense optical flow to refine Kalman filter-based motion prediction using instantaneous foreground pixel motion. To further enhance robustness under unreliable detections, we design a Centroid Distance Matching (CDM) module that performs flexible mask-based centroid matching for low-confidence or partially occluded observations. Moreover, a Distribution-Based Correction (DBC) module models long-tailed motion patterns in a training-free manner using historical optical flow statistics and dynamically corrects trajectory states online. We also incorporate a Cluster-Aware ReID (CA-ReID) strategy to improve the stability and discriminative power of trajectory appearance features. Extensive experiments on the DanceTrack and MOTChallenge benchmarks demonstrate that SAMOFT consistently improves baseline trackers and achieves competitive performance compared with recent state-of-the-art methods, validating the effectiveness of leveraging pixel-level cues for robust multi-object tracking.

A new theoretical model of optical pumped solid-state laser

In this paper, from a new perspective of the time (pump time, relaxation time, and stimulated emission time) of the cycle for the active particles at each energy level, the concept of the number of iterative pumping of the laser medium is introduced, and the equivalent model of the laser when it emits light in a steady state is established. By deriving the number of times that the laser medium is repeatedly pumped in the light exit area when the light is emitted, the analytical expression of the laser output power is deduced, and the law of the laser output power changing with the laser parameters is obtained. By fitting and comparing with the experimental results, the new model and the experimental results are in good agreement, the related parameters obtained are also very consistent with the literature, and the changes of multiple parameters and temperature are obtained. These results, especially the expression for the analysis of the laser output power pave a new way for the research and design of optical pumped lasers.

A Symmetry-orientated Divide-and-Conquer Method for Crystal Structure Prediction

Crystal structure prediction has been a subject of topical interest, but remains a substantial challenge, especially for complex structures as it deals with the global minimization of the extremely rugged high-dimensional potential energy surface. In this manuscript, a symmetry-orientated divide-and-conquer scheme was proposed to construct a symmetry tree graph, where the entire search space is decomposed into a finite number of symmetry-dependent subspaces. An artificial intelligence-based symmetry selection strategy was subsequently devised to select the low-lying subspaces with high symmetries for global exploration and in-depth exploitation. Our approach can significantly simplify the problem of crystal structure prediction by avoiding exploration of the most complex P1 subspace on the entire search space and have the advantage of preserving the crystal symmetry during structure evolution, making it well suitable for predicting the complex crystal structures. The effectiveness of the method has been validated by successful prediction of the candidate structures of binary Lennard-Jones mixtures and high-pressure phase of ice, containing more than one hundred atoms in the simulation cell. The work, therefore, opens up an opportunity towards achieving the long-sought goal for crystal structure prediction of complex systems.

Learning Latent Interactions for Event classification via Graph Neural Networks and PMU Data

Phasor measurement units (PMUs) are being widely installed on power systems, providing a unique opportunity to enhance wide-area situational awareness. One essential application is the use of PMU data for real-time event identification. However, how to take full advantage of all PMU data in event identification is still an open problem. Thus, we propose a novel method that performs event identification by mining interaction graphs among different PMUs. The proposed interaction graph inference method follows an entirely data-driven manner without knowing the physical topology. Moreover, unlike previous works that treat interactive learning and event identification as two different stages, our method learns interactions jointly with the identification task, thereby improving the accuracy of graph learning and ensuring seamless integration between the two stages. Moreover, to capture multi-scale event patterns, a dilated inception-based method is investigated to perform feature extraction of PMU data. To test the proposed data-driven approach, a large real-world dataset from tens of PMU sources and the corresponding event logs have been utilized in this work. Numerical results validate that our method has higher classification accuracy compared to previous methods.

Nonlocal Pseudopotential Energy Density Functional for Orbital-Free Density Functional Theory

Orbital-free density functional theory (OF-DFT) runs at low computational cost that scales linearly with the number of simulated atoms, making it suitable for large-scale material simulations. It is generally considered that OF-DFT strictly requires the use of local pseudopotentials, rather than orbital-dependent nonlocal pseudopotentials, for the calculation of electron-ion interaction energies, as no orbitals are available. This is unfortunate situation since the nonlocal pseudopotentials are known to give much better transferability and calculation accuracy than local ones. We report here the development of a theoretical scheme that allows the direct use of nonlocal pseudopotentials in OF-DFT. In this scheme, a nonlocal pseudopotential energy density functional is derived by the projection of nonlocal pseudopotential onto the non-interacting density matrix (instead of 'orbitals') that can be approximated explicitly as a functional of electron density. Our development defies the belief that nonlocal pseudopotentials are not applicable to OF-DFT, leading to the creation of an alternate theoretical framework of OF-DFT that works superior to the traditional one.

A short-range metastable defect in the double layer ice

Although the phase of water has extensively investigated whether there exists a defect distorting only locally the structure still under debate. Here we report a localized 5775 defect phase presented in the double layer ice on the Au (111) surface, which is a metastable structure with 5- and 7-membered rings compared with a perfect hexagonal one. Without altering the total number of the hydrogen bonds of the ice, the defect only introduces 0.08 Å molecular displacement and 3.27% interaction energy change outside the defected area. Such defect also exists without Au support but causes a larger lattice relaxation or smaller interaction energy change. The excessively high barrier as well as the low quantum tunneling and thermodynamic probabilities hinder the formation of the defect by post-grown isomerization from the perfect to the defected structure. This finding indicates that the defected ice is stable, and the defect can be formed during the ice growth stage.

Learning-Based Real-Time Event Identification Using Rich Real PMU Data

A large-scale deployment of phasor measurement units (PMUs) that reveal the inherent physical laws of power systems from a data perspective enables an enhanced awareness of power system operation. However, the high-granularity and non-stationary nature of PMU time series and imperfect data quality could bring great technical challenges to real-time system event identification. To address these issues, this paper proposes a two-stage learning-based framework. At the first stage, a Markov transition field (MTF) algorithm is exploited to extract the latent data features by encoding temporal dependency and transition statistics of PMU data in graphs. Then, a spatial pyramid pooling (SPP)-aided convolutional neural network (CNN) is established to efficiently and accurately identify operation events. The proposed method fully builds on and is also tested on a large real dataset from several tens of PMU sources (and the corresponding event logs), located across the U.S., with a time span of two consecutive years. The numerical results validate that our method has high identification accuracy while showing good robustness against poor data quality.

Nonlocal Kinetic Energy Density Functionals for Isolated Systems via Local Density Approximation Kernels

Despite a large number of nonlocal kinetic energy density functionals (KEDFs) available for large-scale calculations, most of those nonlocal KEDFs designed for the extended systems cannot be directly applied to isolated systems. In this manuscript, we proposed a generalized scheme to construct nonlocal KEDFs via the local density approximation kernels and construct a family of KEDFs for simulations of isolated systems within orbital-free density functional theory. The performance of KEDFs has been demonstrated by several clusters encompassing Mg, Si and GaAs. The results show that our constructed KEDFs can achieve high numerical accuracy and stability for random clusters, therefore, making orbital-free density functional theory accessible for practical simulations of isolated systems.
