From Textural Counterpoint to Feature Encoding: A Multi-Dimensional Machine Representation Study of Haydn's "The Lark" Integrating Electroacoustic Analysis

Chamber music, as a highly precise multi-part interactive system, contains a logic of "role assignment and dynamic interaction" that provides an extremely valuable blueprint for exploring human-computer collaborative composition paradigms. Addressing the lack of role perception capabilities in existing deep music generation models during polyphonic interactions, this paper conducts an interdisciplinary analysis of Haydn's String Quartet in D Major, The Lark (Op. 64, No. 5). We propose a novel research path: "Classical Morphology Qualitative Analysis-Electroacoustic Quantitative Measurement-Machine Representation Reconstruction." The study first utilizes auditory analysis to dissect the counterpoint morphology of the leading voice and the underlying groove in the first movement. Subsequently, it introduces spectrum and dynamic feature analysis tools from a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) to translate subjective auditory perception into objective, measurable physical parameters. Building on this, the paper introduces a fundamentally new approach to low-level computer feature extraction: completely abandoning the traditional mechanical quantization grid, introducing Event-based Timestamps to record the duration of micro-timing, and transforming acoustic features into an independent "Role-Aware Encoding" as an aesthetic heuristic mechanism (a phenomenological anchor). This study not only completes the logical loop spanning classical analysis, electronic music mapping, and AI symbolic generation but also establishes a profound theoretical foundation-from the perspectives of interactive aesthetics and media philosophy-for constructing human-computer collaborative music systems imbued with "social attributes" and "otherness awareness."

LK Jam: System Architecture and Implementation of a Real-Time Human-AI Interactive Music Generation System using Role-Aware GRU

As artificial intelligence advances into the era of Embodied AI, live musical interaction urgently needs to break free from the limitations of offline, unidirectional generation, achieving a "virtual synergy" capable of low-latency, dynamic interplay. To address this, this technical report presents LK_Jam, a real-time, bidirectional human-computer interactive music generation system based on a lightweight Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) and a high-performance audio host architecture. In the algorithmic representation layer, this system abandons the computationally expensive fixed time-grid. Instead, it constructs a multi-dimensional sparse event stream integrating time-shifts, continuous harmonic embeddings, and role-aware encoding, enabling the model to accurately capture turn-taking logic and micro-timing in a single-step inference. In the engineering implementation layer, this paper builds a strict multithreaded lock-free communication bridge using C++ and the JUCE framework, incorporating the RTNeural inference engine designed specifically for real-time audio. By utilizing compile-time network topology solidification and a zero-allocation (allocation-free) mechanism, the end-to-end overhead of autoregressive decoding is strictly locked at \(O(1)\) complexity, structurally mitigating the risk of audio thread dropouts in DAW plugin environments. Furthermore, this study designs a three-stage progressive training strategy, achieving a leap from basic chord harmonization to expert-level interaction. Preliminary observations and architectural analysis demonstrate that while ensuring musical coherence and interactive role-play, the proposed system successfully challenges extreme real-time engineering constraints, offering a highly robust and deployable technical paradigm for next-generation AI co-performers in live music.

ChladniSonify: A Visual-Acoustic Mapping Method for Chladni Patterns in New Media Art Creation

In new media art creation, the mapping between vision and hearing is often subjective. As a classic carrier of sound visualization, Chladni patterns have great potential in building audio-visual mapping mechanisms. However, existing tools face pain points: high technical barriers for simulation, offline computing failing real-time interaction, and uncontrollable mapping rules in general sonification tools. To address these, this paper proposes ChladniSonify, a real-time visual-acoustic mapping method for Chladni patterns. Based on Kirchhoff-Love plate theory, we build a paired dataset via numerical programming and calibrate it using ANSYS finite element simulation. Focusing on the slender nodal lines of Chladni patterns, we adopt a lightweight CNN with CBAM to achieve high-precision, low-latency pattern classification. Finally, we build an end-to-end system in Python and Max/MSP, mapping recognized patterns to corresponding sine wave frequencies. Results show the system has excellent usability: the classification module achieves 99.33% accuracy on the test set with 7.03 ms inference latency; the mapped frequency matches the theoretical value with zero deviation; the average end-to-end latency is under 50 ms, meeting real-time interactive needs. This work provides a reproducible engineering prototype for Chladni audio-visual art creation.

Pose-Free 3D Quantitative Phase Imaging of Flowing Cellular Populations

High-throughput 3D quantitative phase imaging (QPI) in flow cytometry enables label-free, volumetric characterization of individual cells by reconstructing their refractive index (RI) distributions from multiple viewing angles during flow through microfluidic channels. However, current imaging methods assume that cells undergo uniform, single-axis rotation, which require their poses to be known at each frame. This assumption restricts applicability to near-spherical cells and prevents accurate imaging of irregularly shaped cells with complex rotations. As a result, only a subset of the cellular population can be analyzed, limiting the ability of flow-based assays to perform robust statistical analysis. We introduce OmniFHT, a pose-free 3D RI reconstruction framework that leverages the Fourier diffraction theorem and implicit neural representations (INRs) for high-throughput flow cytometry tomographic imaging. By jointly optimizing each cell's unknown rotational trajectory and volumetric structure under weak scattering assumptions, OmniFHT supports arbitrary cell geometries and multi-axis rotations. Its continuous representation also allows accurate reconstruction from sparsely sampled projections and restricted angular coverage, producing high-fidelity results with as few as 10 views or only 120 degrees of angular range. OmniFHT enables, for the first time, in situ, high-throughput tomographic imaging of entire flowing cell populations, providing a scalable and unbiased solution for label-free morphometric analysis in flow cytometry platforms.

Visualization of out-of-plane spin generation in mirror symmetry broken Co

Generating out-of-plane spins in sputtered materials holds immense potential for achieving field-free spin-orbit torque switching in practical applications and mass production. In this work, we present the detection of out-of-plane spins from single-layer ferromagnetic Co layers, which are visualized through helicity-dependent photomapping techniques. Our experiments have shown that out-of-plane spin generation is dependent on the magnetization direction, current density, and Co thickness. Our findings indicate that amorphous sputtered Co can be a promising candidate as an out-of-plane spin source material for industrial massive production.

SeqCo-DETR: Sequence Consistency Training for Self-Supervised Object Detection with Transformers

Self-supervised pre-training and transformer-based networks have significantly improved the performance of object detection. However, most of the current self-supervised object detection methods are built on convolutional-based architectures. We believe that the transformers' sequence characteristics should be considered when designing a transformer-based self-supervised method for the object detection task. To this end, we propose SeqCo-DETR, a novel Sequence Consistency-based self-supervised method for object DEtection with TRansformers. SeqCo-DETR defines a simple but effective pretext by minimizes the discrepancy of the output sequences of transformers with different image views as input and leverages bipartite matching to find the most relevant sequence pairs to improve the sequence-level self-supervised representation learning performance. Furthermore, we provide a mask-based augmentation strategy incorporated with the sequence consistency strategy to extract more representative contextual information about the object for the object detection task. Our method achieves state-of-the-art results on MS COCO (45.8 AP) and PASCAL VOC (64.1 AP), demonstrating the effectiveness of our approach.

Complementary Relation Contrastive Distillation

Knowledge distillation aims to transfer representation ability from a teacher model to a student model. Previous approaches focus on either individual representation distillation or inter-sample similarity preservation. While we argue that the inter-sample relation conveys abundant information and needs to be distilled in a more effective way. In this paper, we propose a novel knowledge distillation method, namely Complementary Relation Contrastive Distillation (CRCD), to transfer the structural knowledge from the teacher to the student. Specifically, we estimate the mutual relation in an anchor-based way and distill the anchor-student relation under the supervision of its corresponding anchor-teacher relation. To make it more robust, mutual relations are modeled by two complementary elements: the feature and its gradient. Furthermore, the low bound of mutual information between the anchor-teacher relation distribution and the anchor-student relation distribution is maximized via relation contrastive loss, which can distill both the sample representation and the inter-sample relations. Experiments on different benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed CRCD.

Optical visualization of the enhanced spin Hall effect in bismuth doped silicon

Direct visualizations of spin accumulation due to the enhanced spin Hall effect (SHE) in bismuth (Bi) - doped silicon (Si) at room temperature are realized by using helicity-dependent photovoltage (HDP) measurements. Under application of a dc current to the Bi-doped Si, clear helicity-dependent photovoltages are detected at the edges of the Si channel, indicating a perpendicular spin accumulation due to the SHE. In contrast, the HDP signals are negligibly small for phosphorus-doped Si. Compared to a platinum channel, which has a large spin Hall angle, more than two-orders of magnitude larger HDP signals are obtained in the Bi-doped Si.
