Direct scattering transform of nonlinear wave fields with solitons may lead to anomalous numerical errors of soliton phase and position parameters. With the focusing one-dimensional nonlinear Schrodinger equation serving as a model, we investigate this fundamental issue theoretically. Using the dressing method we find the landscape of soliton scattering coefficients in the plane of the complex spectral parameter for multi-soliton wave fields truncated within a finite domain, allowing us to capture the nature of particular numerical errors. They depend on the size of the computational domain $L$ leading to a counterintuitive exponential divergence when increasing $L$ in the presence of a small uncertainty in soliton eigenvalues. In contrast to classical textbooks, we reveal how one of the scattering coefficients loses its analytical properties due to the lack of the wave field compact support in case of $L to infty$. Finally, we demonstrate that despite this inherit direct scattering transform feature, the wave fields of arbitrary complexity can be reliably analysed.

With more than 500 million daily tweets from over 330 million active users, Twitter constantly attracts malicious users aiming to carry out phishing and malware-related attacks against its user base. It therefore becomes of paramount importance to as sess the effectiveness of Twitters use of blacklists in protecting its users from such threats. We collected more than 182 million public tweets containing URLs from Twitters Stream API over a 2-month period and compared these URLs against 3 popular phishing, social engineering, and malware blacklists, including Google Safe Browsing (GSB). We focus on the delay period between an attack URL first being tweeted to appearing on a blacklist, as this is the timeframe in which blacklists do not warn users, leaving them vulnerable. Experiments show that, whilst GSB is effective at blocking a number of social engineering and malicious URLs within 6 hours of being tweeted, a significant number of URLs go undetected for at least 20 days. For instance, during one month, we discovered 4,930 tweets containing URLs leading to social engineering websites that had been tweeted to over 131 million Twitter users. We also discovered 1,126 tweets containing 376 blacklisted Bitly URLs that had a combined total of 991,012 clicks, posing serious security and privacy threats. In addition, an equally large number of URLs contained within public tweets remain in GSB for at least 150 days, raising questions about potential false positives in the blacklist. We also provide evidence to suggest that Twitter may no longer be using GSB to protect its users.
We report that Ly$alpha$-emitting galaxies (LAEs) may not faithfully trace the cosmic web of neutral hydrogen (HI), but their distribution is likely biased depending on the viewing direction. We calculate the cross-correlation (CCF) between galaxies and Ly$alpha$ forest transmission fluctuations on the near and far sides of the galaxies separately, for three galaxy samples at $zsim2$: LAEs, [OIII] emitters (O3Es), and continuum-selected galaxies. We find that only LAEs have anisotropic CCFs, with the near side one showing lower signals up to $r=3-4~h^{-1}$ comoving Mpc. This means that the average HI density on the near side of LAEs is lower than that on the far-side by a factor of $2.1$ under the Fluctuating Gunn-Peterson Approximation. Mock LAEs created by assigning Ly$alpha$ equivalent width ($EW_text{Ly$alpha$}^text{obs}$) values to O3Es with an empirical relation also show similar, anisotropic CCFs if we use only objects with higher $EW_text{Ly$alpha$}^text{obs}$ than a certain threshold. These results indicate that galaxies on the far side of a dense region are more difficult to be detected (hidden) in Ly$alpha$ because Ly$alpha$ emission toward us is absorbed by dense neutral hydrogen. If the same region is viewed from a different direction, a different set of LAEs will be selected as if galaxies are playing hide-and-seek using HI gas. Care is needed when using LAEs to search for overdensities.
We consider the issue of strategic behaviour in various peer-assessment tasks, including peer grading of exams or homeworks and peer review in hiring or promotions. When a peer-assessment task is competitive (e.g., when students are graded on a curve ), agents may be incentivized to misreport evaluations in order to improve their own final standing. Our focus is on designing methods for detection of such manipulations. Specifically, we consider a setting in which agents evaluate a subset of their peers and output rankings that are later aggregated to form a final ordering. In this paper, we investigate a statistical framework for this problem and design a principled test for detecting strategic behaviour. We prove that our test has strong false alarm guarantees and evaluate its detection ability in practical settings. For this, we design and execute an experiment that elicits strategic behaviour from subjects and release a dataset of patterns of strategic behaviour that may be of independent interest. We then use the collected data to conduct a series of real and semi-synthetic evaluations that demonstrate a strong detection power of our test.
Neural predictive models have achieved remarkable performance improvements in various natural language processing tasks. However, most neural predictive models suffer from the lack of explainability of predictions, limiting their practical utility. T his paper proposes a neural predictive approach to make a prediction and generate its corresponding explanation simultaneously. It leverages the knowledge entailed in explanations as an additional distillation signal for more efficient learning. We conduct a preliminary study on Chinese medical multiple-choice question answering, English natural language inference, and commonsense question answering tasks. The experimental results show that the proposed approach can generate reasonable explanations for its predictions even with a small-scale training corpus. The proposed method also achieves improved prediction accuracy on three datasets, which indicates that making predictions can benefit from generating the explanation in the decision process.
Since the popularization of the Transformer as a general-purpose feature encoder for NLP, many studies have attempted to decode linguistic structure from its novel multi-head attention mechanism. However, much of such work focused almost exclusively on English -- a language with rigid word order and a lack of inflectional morphology. In this study, we present decoding experiments for multilingual BERT across 18 languages in order to test the generalizability of the claim that dependency syntax is reflected in attention patterns. We show that full trees can be decoded above baseline accuracy from single attention heads, and that individual relations are often tracked by the same heads across languages. Furthermore, in an attempt to address recent debates about the status of attention as an explanatory mechanism, we experiment with fine-tuning mBERT on a supervised parsing objective while freezing different series of parameters. Interestingly, in steering the objective to learn explicit linguistic structure, we find much of the same structure represented in the resulting attention patterns, with interesting differences with respect to which parameters are frozen.
