Joint Feature Distribution Alignment Learning for NIR-VIS and VIS-VIS Face Recognition

Face recognition for visible light (VIS) images achieve high accuracy thanks to the recent development of deep learning. However, heterogeneous face recognition (HFR), which is a face matching in different domains, is still a difficult task due to the domain discrepancy and lack of large HFR dataset. Several methods have attempted to reduce the domain discrepancy by means of fine-tuning, which causes significant degradation of the performance in the VIS domain because it loses the highly discriminative VIS representation. To overcome this problem, we propose joint feature distribution alignment learning (JFDAL) which is a joint learning approach utilizing knowledge distillation. It enables us to achieve high HFR performance with retaining the original performance for the VIS domain. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed method delivers statistically significantly better performances compared with the conventional fine-tuning approach on a public HFR dataset Oulu-CASIA NIR&VIS and popular verification datasets in VIS domain such as FLW, CFP, AgeDB. Furthermore, comparative experiments with existing state-of-the-art HFR methods show that our method achieves a comparable HFR performance on the Oulu-CASIA NIR&VIS dataset with less degradation of VIS performance.

Optimized Two-Baryon Operators in Lattice QCD

A set of optimized interpolating operators which are dominantly coupled to each eigenstate of two baryons on the lattice is constructed by the HAL QCD method. To test its validity, we consider heavy dibaryons $Ω_{3Q}Ω_{3Q}$ ($Q=s,c$) calculated by (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD simulations with nearly physical pion mass. The optimized two-baryon operators are shown to provide effective energies of the ground and excited states separately stable as a function of the Euclidean time. Also they agree to the eigenenergies in a finite lattice box obtained from the leading-order HAL QCD potential $V({\boldsymbol{r}})$ within statistical errors. The overlapping factors between the optimized sink operators and the state created by the wall-type source operator indicate that $V( \boldsymbol{r})$ can be reliably extracted, no matter whether the spacetime correlation of two baryons is dominated by the ground state or the excited state. It is suggested that the optimized set of operators is useful for variational studies of hadron-hadron interactions.

Finite volume analysis on systematics of the derivative expansion in HAL QCD method

We study the convergence of the derivative expansion in HAL QCD method from the finite volume analysis. Employing the (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD data obtained at nearly physical light quark masses $(m_π, m_K) \simeq (146, 525)$ MeV and the physical charm quark mass, we study two representative systems, $ΩΩ$ and $Ω_{ccc}Ω_{ccc}$ in the $^1S_0$ channel, where both systems were found to have a shallow bound state in our previous studies. The HAL QCD potentials are determined at the leading-order in the derivative expansion, from which finite-volume eigenmodes are obtained. Utilizing the eigenmode projection, we find that the correlation functions are dominated by the ground state (first excited state) in the case of $ΩΩ$ ($Ω_{ccc}Ω_{ccc}$). In both $ΩΩ$ and $Ω_{ccc}Ω_{ccc}$, the spectra obtained from eigenmode-projected temporal correlators are found to be consistent with those from the HAL QCD potential for both the ground and first excited state. These results show that the derivative expansion is well converged in these systems, and also provide a first explicit evidence that the HAL QCD method enables us to reliably extract the binding energy of the ground state even from the correlator dominated by excited scattering states.

Most charming dibaryon near unitarity

We present a first study on a pair of triply charmed baryons, $Ω_{ccc}Ω_{ccc}$ in the $^1S_0$ channel, on the basis of the HAL QCD method. The measurements are perfomed on the $(2+1)$-flavor lattice QCD configurations with nearly physical light-quark masses and physical charm-quark mass. We show that the system with the Coulomb repulsion taking into account the charge form factor of $Ω_{ccc}$ leads to the scattering length $a^\mathrm{C}_0\simeq-19$ fm and the effective range $r^\mathrm{C}_\mathrm{eff}\simeq0.45$ fm, which indicates $Ω_{ccc}Ω_{ccc}$ is located in the unitary regime.

Dibaryon with highest charm number near unitarity from lattice QCD

A pair of triply charmed baryons, $Ω_{ccc}Ω_{ccc}$, is studied as an ideal dibaryon system by (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD with nearly physical light-quark masses and the relativistic heavy quark action with the physical charm quark mass. The spatial baryon-baryon correlation is related to their scattering parameters on the basis of the HAL QCD method. The $Ω_{ccc}Ω_{ccc}$ in the ${^1S_0}$ channel taking into account the Coulomb repulsion with the charge form factor of $Ω_{ccc}$ leads to the scattering length $a^{\rm C}_0\simeq -19~\text{fm}$ and the effective range $r^{\rm C}_{\mathrm{eff}}\simeq 0.45~\text{fm}$. The ratio $r^{\rm C}_{\mathrm{eff}}/a^{\rm C}_0 \simeq -0.024$, whose magnitude is considerably smaller than that of the dineutron ($-0.149$), indicates that $Ω_{ccc}Ω_{ccc}$ is located in the unitary regime.

$d^\ast (2380)$ dibaryon from lattice QCD

The $ΔΔ$ dibaryon resonance $d^\ast (2380)$ with $(J^P, I)=(3^+, 0)$ is studied theoretically on the basis of the 3-flavor lattice QCD simulation with heavy pion masses ($m_π=679, 841$ and $1018$ MeV). By using the HAL QCD method, the central $Δ$-$Δ$ potential in the ${}^7S_3$ channel is obtained from the lattice data with the lattice spacing $a\simeq 0.121$ fm and the lattice size $L\simeq 3.87$ fm. The resultant potential shows a strong short-range attraction, so that a quasi-bound state corresponding to $d^\ast (2380)$ is formed with the binding energy $25$-$40$ MeV below the $ΔΔ$ threshold for the heavy pion masses. The tensor part of the transition potential from $ΔΔ$ to $NN$ is also extracted to investigate the coupling strength between the $S$-wave $ΔΔ$ system with $J^P=3^+$ and the $D$-wave $NN$ system. Although the transition potential is strong at short distances, the decay width of $d^\ast (2380)$ to $NN$ in the $D$-wave is kinematically suppressed, which justifies our single-channel analysis at the range of the pion mass explored in this study.

Partial wave decomposition on the lattice and its applications to the HAL QCD method

The approximated partial wave decomposition method to the discrete data on a cubic lattice, developed by C. W. Misner, is applied to the calculation of $S$-wave hadron-hadron scatterings by the HAL QCD method in lattice QCD. We consider the Nambu-Bethe-Salpeter (NBS) wave function for the spin-singlet $Λ_c N$ system calculated in the $(2+1)$-flavor QCD on a $(32a~\mathrm{fm})^3$ lattice at the lattice spacing $a\simeq0.0907$ fm and $m_π\simeq 700$ MeV. We find that the $l=0$ component can be successfully extracted by Misner's method from the NBS wave function projected to $A_1^+$ representation of the cubic group, which contains small $l\ge 4$ components. Furthermore, while the higher partial wave components are enhanced so as to produce significant comb-like structures in the conventional HAL QCD potential if the Laplacian approximated by the usual second order difference is applied to the NBS wave function, such structures are found to be absent in the potential extracted by Misner's method, where the Laplacian can be evaluated analytically for each partial wave component. Despite the difference in the potentials, two methods give almost identical results on the central values and on the magnitude of statistical errors for the fits of the potentials, and consequently on the scattering phase shifts. This indicates not only that Misner's method works well in lattice QCD with the HAL QCD method but also that the contaminations from higher partial waves in the study of $S$-wave scatterings are well under control even in the conventional HAL QCD method. It will be of interest to study interactions in higher partial wave channels in the HAL QCD method with Misner's decomposition, where the utility of this new technique may become clearer.

The HAL QCD potential in $I=1$ $ππ$ system with the $ρ$ meson bound state

In this paper, we investigate the HAL QCD potential in the $I=1$ $ππ$ scattering using the hybrid method for all-to-all propagators, in which a propagator is approximated by low-eigenmodes and the remaining high-eigenmode part is stochastically estimated. To verify the applicability of the hybrid method to systems containing quark creation$/$annihilation contributions such as the $ρ$ meson, we calculate the $I=1$ $ππ$ potential with the 2+1 flavor gauge configurations on $16^3 \times 32$ lattice at the lattice spacing $a \approx 0.12$ fm and $(m_π,m_ρ) \approx (870, 1230)$ MeV, in which the $ρ$ meson appears as a deeply-bound state. While we find that the naive stochastic evaluations for quark creation$/$annihilation contributions lead to extremely large statistical fluctuations, additional noise reduction methods enable us to obtain a sufficiently precise potential, which shows a strong attractive force. We also confirm that the binding energy and $k^3 \cot δ$ obtained from our potential are roughly consistent with an existing $ρ$ meson bound state, within a large systematic error associated with our calculation, whose possible origin is also discussed.

$ΛΛ$ and N$Ξ$ interactions from Lattice QCD near the physical point

The $S$-wave $ΛΛ$ and $N Ξ$ interactions are studied on the basis of the (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD simulations close to the physical point ($m_π\simeq 146{\rm{MeV}}$ and $m_K \simeq 525{\rm{MeV}}$). Lattice QCD potentials in four different spin-isospin channels are extracted by using the coupled-channel HAL QCD method and are parametrized by analytic functions to calculate the scattering phase shifts. The $ΛΛ$ interaction at low energies shows only a weak attraction, which does not provide a bound or resonant dihyperon. The $NΞ$ interaction in the spin-singlet and isospin-singlet channel is most attractive and lead the $NΞ$ system near unitarity. Relevance to the strangeness=$-2$ hypernuclei as well as to two-baryon correlations in proton-proton, proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions is also discussed.

Study of the pion-pion scatterings with a combination of all-to-all propagators and the HAL QCD method

In this paper, we report recent developments of the HAL QCD method for two hadron systems which contain quark annihilation processes using all-to-all quark propagators. We employ the hybrid method for all-to-all propagators, which combines a low-mode spectral decomposition of the quark propagator and stochastic estimators for remaining high modes, to evaluate the HAL QCD potentials for the first time. Using this method, we investigate the $I= 1,2$ $ππ$ scatterings at $m_π \approx 870$ MeV. In the $I=2$ study, we study how statistical fluctuations of the HAL QCD potentials are increased due to stochastic estimators in the hybrid method, compared with the conventional one without them. We find that we can reduce statistical fluctuations by dilutions of stochastic noises in order to obtain sufficiently precise results, which turn out to be consistent with conventional results without all-to-all propagators. In the $I=1$ $ππ$ case, which contains quark annihilation processes, we find that statistical fluctuations are further enhanced due to noise contaminations in annihilation processes. We, however, confirm that we can also reduce such statistical fluctuations to obtain the potential with a reasonable precision as long as we further increase a degree of dilutions at a price of large numerical costs and take an appropriate scheme for the potential.

$I=2$ $ππ$ potential in the HAL QCD method with all-to-all propagators

In this paper, we perform the first application of the hybrid method (exact low modes plus stochastically estimated high modes) for all-to-all propagators to the HAL QCD method. We calculate the HAL QCD potentials in the $I=2$ $ππ$ scattering in order to see how statistical fluctuations of the potential behave under the hybrid method. All of the calculations are performed with the 2+1 flavor gauge configurations on $16^3 \times 32$ lattice at the lattice spacing $a \approx 0.12$ fm and $m_π \approx 870$ MeV. It is revealed that statistical errors for the potential are enhanced by stochastic noises introduced by the hybrid method, which, however, are shown to be reduced by increasing the level of dilutions, in particular, that of space dilutions. From systematic studies, we obtain a guiding principle for a choice of dilution types/levels and a number of eigenvectors to reduce noise contaminations to the potential while keeping numerical costs reasonable. We also confirm that we can obtain the scattering phase shifts for the $I=2$ $ππ$ system by the hybrid method within a reasonable numerical cost, which are consistent with the result obtained with the conventional method. The knowledge we obtain in this study will become useful to investigate hadron resonances which require quark annihilation diagrams such as the $ρ$ meson by the HAL QCD potential with the hybrid method.

$NΩ$ dibaryon from lattice QCD near the physical point

The nucleon($N$)-Omega($Ω$) system in the S-wave and spin-2 channel ($^5$S$_2$) is studied from the (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD with nearly physical quark masses ($m_π\simeq 146$~MeV and $m_K \simeq 525$~MeV). The time-dependent HAL QCD method is employed to convert the lattice QCD data of the two-baryon correlation function to the baryon-baryon potential and eventually to the scattering observables. The $NΩ$($^5$S$_2$) potential, obtained under the assumption that its couplings to the D-wave octet-baryon pairs are small, is found to be attractive in all distances and to produce a quasi-bound state near unitarity: In this channel, the scattering length, the effective range and the binding energy from QCD alone read $a_0= 5.30(0.44)(^{+0.16}_{-0.01})$~fm, $r_{\rm eff} = 1.26(0.01)(^{+0.02}_{-0.01})$~fm, $B = 1.54(0.30)(^{+0.04}_{-0.10})$~MeV, respectively. Including the extra Coulomb attraction, the binding energy of $pΩ^-$($^5$S$_2$) becomes $B_{pΩ^-} = 2.46(0.34)(^{+0.04}_{-0.11})$~MeV. Such a spin-2 $pΩ^-$ state could be searched through two-particle correlations in $p$-$p$, $p$-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions.

Most Strange Dibaryon from Lattice QCD

The $ΩΩ$ system in the $^1S_0$ channel (the most strange dibaryon) is studied on the basis of the (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD simulations with a large volume (8.1 fm)$^3$ and nearly physical pion mass $m_π\simeq 146$ MeV at a lattice spacing $a\simeq 0.0846$ fm. We show that lattice QCD data analysis by the HAL QCD method leads to the scattering length $a_0 = 4.6 (6)(^{+1.2}_{-0.5}) {\rm fm}$, the effective range $r_{\rm eff} = 1.27 (3)(^{+0.06}_{-0.03}) {\rm fm}$ and the binding energy $B_{ΩΩ} = 1.6 (6) (^{+0.7}_{-0.6}) {\rm MeV}$. These results indicate that the $ΩΩ$ system has an overall attraction and is located near the unitary regime. Such a system can be best searched experimentally by the pair-momentum correlation in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.

$Λ_c N$ interaction from lattice QCD and its application to $Λ_c$ hypernuclei

The interaction between $Λ_c$ and a nucleon ($N$) is investigated by employing the HAL QCD method in the (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD on a $(2.9~\mathrm{fm})^3$ volume at $m_π\simeq 410,~570,~700$ MeV. We study the central potential in $^1S_0$ channel as well as central and tensor potentials in $^3S_1 - $$^3D_1$ channel, and find that the tensor potential for $Λ_c N$ is negligibly weak and central potentials in both $^1S_0$ and $^3S_1 - $$^3D_1$ channels are almost identical with each other except at short distances. Phase shifts and scattering lengths calculated with these potentials show that the interaction of $Λ_c N$ system is attractive and has a similar strength in $^1S_0$ and $^3S_1$ channels at low energies (i.e. the kinetic energy less than about $40$ MeV). While the attractions are not strong enough to form two-body bound states, our results lead to a possibility to form $Λ_c$ hypernuclei for sufficiently large atomic numbers ($A$). To demonstrate this, we derive a single-folding potential for $Λ_c$ hypernuclei from the $Λ_c$-nucleon potential obtained in lattice QCD, and find that $Λ_c$ hypernuclei can exist for $A \ge 12$ with the binding energies of a few MeV. We also estimate the Coulomb effect for the $Λ_c$ hypernuclei.

Baryon interactions from lattice QCD with physical masses --- strangeness $S=-1$ sector ---

We present our recent results of baryon interactions with strangeness $S=-1$ based on Nambu-Bethe-Salpeter (NBS) correlation functions calculated from lattice QCD with almost physical quark masses corresponding to $(m_π,m_K)\approx(146,525)$ MeV and large volume $(La)^4=(96a)^4\approx$ (8.1 fm)$^4$. In order to perform a comprehensive study of baryon interactions, a large number of NBS correlation functions from NN to $ΞΞ$ are calculated simultaneously by using large scale computer resources. In this contribution, we focus on the strangeness $S=-1$ channels of the hyperon interactions by means of HAL QCD method. Four sets of three potentials (the $^3S_1-^3D_1$ central, $^3S_1-^3D_1$ tensor, and the $^1S_0$ central potentials) are presented for the $ΣN - ΣN$ (the isospin $I=3/2$) diagonal, the $ΛN - ΛN$ diagonal, the $ΛN \rightarrow ΣN$ transition, and the $ΣN - ΣN$ ($I=1/2$) diagonal interactions. Scattering phase shifts for $ΣN$ $(I=3/2)$ system are presented.

$I=2$ $ππ$ scattering phase shift from the HAL QCD method with the LapH smearing

Physical observables, such as the scattering phase shifts and the binding energies, calculated from the non-local HAL QCD potential do not depend on the sink operators used to define the potential. This is called the scheme independence of the HAL QCD method. In practical applications, the derivative expansion of the non-local potential is employed, so that physical observables may receive some scheme dependence at given order of the expansion. In this paper, we compare the $I=2$ $ππ$ scattering phase shifts obtained in the point-sink scheme (the standard scheme in the HAL QCD method) and the smeared-sink scheme (the LapH smearing newly introduced in the HAL QCD method). Although potentials in different schemes have different forms as expected, we find that, for reasonably small smearing size, the resultant scattering phase shifts agree with each other if the next-to-leading order (NLO) term is taken into account. We also find that the HAL QCD potential in the point-sink scheme has negligible NLO term for wide range of energies, which implies a good convergence of the derivative expansion in this case, while the potential in the smeared-sink scheme has non-negligible NLO contribution. Implication of this observation to the future studies of resonance channels (such as the $I=0$ and $1$ $ππ$ scatterings) with smeared all-to-all propagators is briefly discussed. All computations in this paper have been performed at the lattice spacing $a\simeq 0.12$ fm ($1/a \simeq 1.6$ GeV) on a $16^3\times 32$ lattice with the pion mass $m_π\simeq 870$ MeV.
