RIPPLE: Generating Multi-Channel Phase, Not Recovering It

arXiv:2607. 27775v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generative models synthesize magnitude spectra with high fidelity, while phase is delegated to a recovery module---Griffin--Lim, a vocoder, or a latent decoder---applied independently to each channel.

When Do Autoregressive Sequence Models Forecast Physical Wavefields? A Controlled Study on Synthetic Seismograms

arXiv:2606. 10868v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon autoregressive forecasting of oscillatory physical signals, such as seismograms, gravitational-wave strain, and similar wavefields is limited by error accumulation: as a causal model is fed its own outputs over hundreds of steps, small per-step errors compound into phase drift that pointwise metrics fail to detect.

IQ-JEPA: A Joint-Embedding Predictive Architecture with a Hermitian Vision Transformer for Sound Speed and Attenuation Estimation from Ultrasound IQ Data

arXiv:2607. 22351v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The speed of sound in tissue is a prerequisite for well-focused imaging and has diagnostic value, but recovering it from raw pulse-echo channel data is fundamentally a nonlinear inverse problem.

On the conditional equivalence of phase retrieval algorithms

arXiv:2606. 07257v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Phase retrieval - recovering a complex-valued field from intensity measurements - is typically solved using variants of the Gerchberg-Saxton (GS) algorithm, understood as alternating projections between measurement planes.

When to Align, When to Predict: A Phase Diagram for Multimodal Learning

arXiv:2606. 11190v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cross-modal alignment (CA) and cross-modal prediction (CP) are the dominant paradigms for multimodal representation learning, yet there is no systematic understanding of when each succeeds, when each fails, and when cross-modal training helps at all -- a gap that leaves practitioners, especially in scientific domains like biomedicine or astrophysics, with heterogeneous instruments and multiple levels of organization and measurement, unable to diagnose why standard methods underperform the best single modality.

Torus Graphs for Large Scale Neural Phase Analysis

arXiv:2606. 00496v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Oscillatory neural signals such as electroencephalography (EEG) and local field potentials (LFPs) show phase relationships that coordinate communication across brain regions.
