Self-Supervised Noise2Noise-Enhanced Denoising for Continuous-Scan Air-Plasma THz Spectroscopy

arXiv:2608. 16454v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) based on air-plasma generation and balanced air-biased coherent detection offers gap-free broadband coverage, but individual continuous-scan traces are strongly affected by pulse-to-pulse fluctuations and electronic noise.

Heteroscedastic Neural Surrogate Modeling for Robust and Rapid Bayesian Inference in Fusion Plasma Diagnostics

arXiv:2608. 19377v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Bayesian inference via Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) provides effective parameter estimation, but its real-time application in complex physical systems is hindered by heavy computational bottlenecks and extreme sensitivity to statistical noise.

Learning to Assess Heartbeat Observability for mmWave Heart-Rate Sensing

The paper presents HEAR, a dual‑task Transformer that learns to assess heartbeat observability from mmWave radar phase spectra and simultaneously estimates heart rate. Using a controllable FMCW simulator, the authors generate labeled data where observability is defined by the agreement between the dominant heartbeat‑band peak and the known heart rate. Trained only on simulated data, HEAR transfers zero‑shot to real‑world datasets at 60 and 120 GHz, enabling selective heart‑rate estimation that dramatically reduces error and achieves sub‑50 ms latency on edge hardware.

Physics-Aware Self-Supervised Pretraining on Multi-Domain Raman Spectra

The paper presents a physics‑aware, multi‑domain self‑supervised learning framework for Raman spectroscopy that uses a masked autoencoder with a sparse Voigt‑profile decoder and a denoising objective. It learns transferable spectral representations from diverse biological, chemical, forensic, and materials datasets, and demonstrates improved performance on substance classification, component identification, concentration estimation, and spectral denoising. The study shows that self‑supervised pretraining is especially beneficial for tasks with limited labeled data, that attention‑based probing reveals richer information than linear probing, and that larger encoders benefit more from pretraining.

CRFCAN: A Complex-Valued Cross-Domain Residual Network for Joint Channel and Phase Noise Estimation in Sub-THz OFDM Systems

CRFCAN is a complex‑valued residual FFT convolutional attention network that jointly estimates channel and phase noise in sub‑THz OFDM systems. It embeds FFT and inverse FFT modules within residual groups to enable iterative feature interaction across time and frequency domains, and includes dedicated residual blocks for complex feature extraction and multiplicative phase‑distortion modeling. Simulation results show that CRFCAN outperforms conventional algorithms and state‑of‑the‑art deep learning models in NMSE and BER, while offering single‑shot, fixed‑complexity inference and good generalization to unseen phase‑noise models.

On-board ML for Trace Gas detection in Imaging Spectroscopy data

The paper reports the first on‑board detection of methane point source emissions using imaging spectroscopy data from the AVIRIS‑5 sensor during the Tokyo Field Campaign in March 2026. It describes how a compact machine‑learning model was deployed on the aircraft to predict potential trace‑gas events in real time, circumventing communication bottlenecks that prevent full data downlink during flight. The approach enables immediate identification of transient gas releases without waiting for ground‑based processing.
