Semi-Supervised Gaussian Mixture Variational Autoencoder for Pulse Shape Discrimination
TL;DR: This work addresses the problem of pulse shape discrimination (PSD) for radiation sources characterization by leveraging a Gaussian mixture variational autoencoder (GMVAE) and shows that classification accuracy can be further enhanced by adopting a semi-supervised GMVAE with auxiliary loss functions when labeled data are available.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mesenteric panniculitis: a diagnosis of exclusion.
TL;DR: This modified suction dissector is presented as a single instrument that can be used both to clearly identify the tissue planes and for retraction simultaneously and safely, thereby reducing operating time.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Time-of-Flight Depth-Resolved Imaging with Heralded Photon Source Illumination
Ximing Ren,Stefan Frick,Alex McMillan,Songmao Chen,Abderrahim Halimi,Peter W. R. Connolly,Siddarth Koduru Joshi,Stephen McLaughlin,John Rarity,Jonathan C. F. Matthews,Gerald S. Buller +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate 3D time-of-flight imaging from a scattering target illuminated with a heralded single photon source, achieving millimeter depth resolution with only 0.3 average detected photons per image pixel.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Threshold for regular LDPC codes over PR channels
TL;DR: The calculated threshold, while serving as a target for design of LDPC codes over PR channels, can also be used as a upper bound on the capacity-achieving SNR of PR channels.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Underwater three-dimensional imaging using single-photon detection
Aurora Maccarone,Abderrahim Halimi,Aongus McCarthy,Rachael Tobin,Stephen McLaughlin,Yvan Petillot,Gerald S. Buller +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the optical system used a scanning transceiver and single-photon detection to produce high-resolution images with milliwatt average powers in highly scattering underwater environments at stand-off distances equivalent to nine attenuation lengths.
