Understanding the Travel-time Asymmetry of Acoustic Waves in Sunspots With Time-distance Helioseismology

Mapping the subsurface structure and flow field of sunspots has been a challenging task for helioseismology. In this work, we investigate the propagation of acoustic waves in a sunspot in NOAA active region 11312 using time-distance helioseismology. Travel times of waves traveling into and out of the sunspot are measured as functions of travel distance and azimuthal angle relative to the local radial direction. The same time-distance analysis is also applied to a simulated data based on a magnetohydrostatic (MHS) model of sunspot, and forward modeling of travel times is performed using ray tracing based on both the MHS sunspot model and a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation. We find that both ingoing (traveling from the quiet area into the sunspot) and outgoing waves (traveling from the sunspot into the quiet area) have shorter travel times than in the quiet Sun, with travel-time reductions of up to 40 s. The magnitude of the mean time shift is largest for waves traveling along the radial direction at small travel distances. A clear asymmetry is detected between ingoing and outgoing waves: outgoing waves generally exhibit shorter travel times. This asymmetry is strongest for radial direction and small travel distances, with differences exceeding 1 min for 3.5 mHz and 4.5 mHz waves. From the results of both observations and models, our analysis indicates that the overall reduction in travel time could be primarily caused by the combined effects of Wilson depression, magnetic field, and wave-speed perturbations, while the ingoing-outgoing asymmetry could be partly attributable to subsurface flows. Although the forward-modeling results reproduce several qualitative features of the observations, quantitative discrepancies remain, highlighting limitations of current sunspot models and ray-theoretical approximations.

AW-GATCN: Adaptive Weighted Graph Attention Convolutional Network for Event Camera Data Joint Denoising and Object Recognition

Event cameras, which capture brightness changes with high temporal resolution, inherently generate a significant amount of redundant and noisy data beyond essential object structures. The primary challenge in event-based object recognition lies in effectively removing this noise without losing critical spatial-temporal information. To address this, we propose an Adaptive Graph-based Noisy Data Removal framework for Event-based Object Recognition. Specifically, our approach integrates adaptive event segmentation based on normalized density analysis, a multifactorial edge-weighting mechanism, and adaptive graph-based denoising strategies. These innovations significantly enhance the integration of spatiotemporal information, effectively filtering noise while preserving critical structural features for robust recognition. Experimental evaluations on four challenging datasets demonstrate that our method achieves superior recognition accuracies of 83.77%, 76.79%, 99.30%, and 96.89%, surpassing existing graph-based methods by up to 8.79%, and improving noise reduction performance by up to 19.57%, with an additional accuracy gain of 6.26% compared to traditional Euclidean-based techniques.

The Solar Upper Transition Region Imager (SUTRI) onboard the SATech-01 satellite

The Solar Upper Transition Region Imager (SUTRI) onboard the Space Advanced Technology demonstration satellite (SATech-01), which was launched to a sun-synchronous orbit at a height of 500 km in July 2022, aims to test the on-orbit performance of our newly developed Sc-Si multi-layer reflecting mirror and the 2kx2k EUV CMOS imaging camera and to take full-disk solar images at the Ne VII 46.5 nm spectral line with a filter width of 3 nm. SUTRI employs a Ritchey-Chretien optical system with an aperture of 18 cm. The on-orbit observations show that SUTRI images have a field of view of 41.6'x41.6' and a moderate spatial resolution of 8" without an image stabilization system. The normal cadence of SUTRI images is 30 s and the solar observation time is about 16 hours each day because the earth eclipse time accounts for about 1/3 of SATech-01's orbit period. Approximately 15 GB data is acquired each day and made available online after processing. SUTRI images are valuable as the Ne VII 46.5 nm line is formed at a temperature regime of 0.5 MK in the solar atmosphere, which has rarely been sampled by existing solar imagers. SUTRI observations will establish connections between structures in the lower solar atmosphere and corona, and advance our understanding of various types of solar activity such as flares, filament eruptions, coronal jets and coronal mass ejections.

ZeroPrompt: Scaling Prompt-Based Pretraining to 1,000 Tasks Improves Zero-Shot Generalization

We propose a multitask pretraining approach ZeroPrompt for zero-shot generalization, focusing on task scaling and zero-shot prompting. While previous models are trained on only a few dozen tasks, we scale to 1,000 tasks for the first time using real-world data. This leads to a crucial discovery that task scaling can be an efficient alternative to model scaling; i.e., the model size has little impact on performance with an extremely large number of tasks. Our results show that task scaling can substantially improve training efficiency by 30 times in FLOPs. Moreover, we present a prompting method that incorporates a genetic algorithm to automatically search for the best prompt for unseen tasks, along with a few other improvements. Empirically, ZeroPrompt substantially improves both the efficiency and the performance of zero-shot learning across a variety of academic and production datasets.

GPS: Genetic Prompt Search for Efficient Few-shot Learning

Prompt-based techniques have demostrated great potential for improving the few-shot generalization of pretrained language models. However, their performance heavily relies on the manual design of prompts and thus requires a lot of human efforts. In this paper, we introduce Genetic Prompt Search (GPS) to improve few-shot learning with prompts, which utilizes a genetic algorithm to automatically search for high-performing prompts. GPS is gradient-free and requires no update of model parameters but only a small validation set. Experiments on diverse datasets proved the effectiveness of GPS, which outperforms manual prompts by a large margin of 2.6 points. Our method is also better than other parameter-efficient tuning methods such as prompt tuning.
