Failure prognostics under sensor degradation: A comparative study of online and batch Bayesian inference

Accurate failure prognostics and Remaining Useful Life (RUL) prediction are critical for prognostics and health management, but remain challenging when sensor degradation and stochastic dependencies are present. This study compares two Bayesian…

Air-stable subsurface two-dimensional hole gas with strong spin-orbit interaction in single layer Pt on Ge

Two-dimensional hole gases (2DHGs) offer enhanced spin-orbit coupling and correlations, making them attractive for spintronic and quantum devices. Yet, most realizations require complex epitaxial structures and protective encapsulation, limiting…

Correcting Source Mismatch in Flow Matching with Radial-Angular Transport

Flow Matching is typically built from Gaussian sources and Euclidean probability paths. For heavy-tailed or anisotropic data, however, a Gaussian source induces a structural mismatch already at the level of the radial distribution. We introduce …

A Model for Imbalanced Label Aggregation: A Focus on Minority-Class Detection

We study imbalanced crowdsourcing with a focus on class-dependent annotator accuracy, a setting that, to the best of our knowledge, remains relatively underexplored despite its importance in real-world inspection systems where the labels of greatest…
