We investigated the transmission properties of optical waveguide based on fluorinated acrylate polymer and Ormocer® based polymer in the visible range (VIS). Laser transmission-induced transparency (LTIT) and fluorescence were observed in the...

Heatmaps generated on inputs of image classification networks via explainable AI methods have been observed to resemble segmentations of input images in many cases. We apply the "Right for the Right Reason" paradigm of imposing additional losses...

Neurons in deep neural networks can act polysemantically, meaning that they encode for multiple (unrelated) features. As such, understanding the inner workings of machine learning models becomes more difficult. We present PURE to turn...

While recent studies show high accuracy in the classification of Alzheimer's disease using deep neural networks, the underlying learned concepts have not been investigated. We separated Alzheimer's patients (n=117) from normal controls (n=219) by...

DNNs are prone to relying on spurious correlations in data, posing risks in critical applications. Post-hoc methods exist to mitigate this without retraining but can globally shift latent features distributions, harming model performance. We...

Our new method, AttnLRP, is the first to faithfully and holistically attribute not only input but also latent representations of transformer models with the computational efficiency similar to a single backward pass. We demonstrate that our...

With PCX, we introduce a method that summarizes similar single explanations via prototypical ones. As such, we can understand the whole model behavior quickly and in detail. PCX further allows to validate individual predictions by communicating...

We consider neuromorphic wireless device-edge co-inference for edge intelligence applications. The directed information bottleneck principle is applied to extract the most relevant information for the task. The model demonstrates superior...

Centralized or distributed precoding? This is perhaps the most heated debate in the Cell-free Massive MIMO literature. However, in this work we argue that the best option may actually be a mix of the two. The reason is that centralized precoding,...

We present an innovative integrated photonic sensor for point-of-care applications using silicon nitride (Si3N4) tailored for biofluids analysis in the 850nm optical band. With microring resonators (MRR) we detect smallest changes in the...

For highly loss-sensitive applications of photonic integrated circuits (PICs), efficient coupling of high-confinement silicon nitride (Si3N4) passive waveguides with active optoelectronic components and standard single mode fibers (SMF) is...

We present a hybrid integrated photonic circuit with tunable arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs) as (DE-)MUX stages for optical modulators for use in parallel convolution processing. The simulated and fabricated AWGs have 16 outputs with 500 GHz...

We present a novel approach that combines the high rendering quality of NeRF-based 3D-aware GANs with the flexibility and computational advantages of 3DGS. By training a decoder that maps implicit NeRF representations to explicit 3D Gaussian...

This paper presents an optimization framework for analog beamforming in monostatic integrated sensing and communication (ISAC), which maximizes sensing detection under self-interference cancellation via superiorized projections onto convex...

Exploring near-field propagation is vital for 6G technologies like intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS). Unlike far-field models, near-field models offer accuracy critical for applications such as beamforming and multiple-access, enhancing...

For time series data, where the input itself is often not interpretable, dedicated XAI research is scarce. In this work, we put forward a virtual inspection layer for transforming the time series to an interpretable representation and allows to...
