Highly efficient non-relativistic Edelstein effect in nodal p-wave magnets by Atasi Chakraborty, Anna Birk Hellenes, Rodrigo Jaeschke-Ubiergo, Tomás Jungwirth, Libor Šmejkal, Jairo Sinova

“…We illustrate the NREE through minimal tight-binding models, allowing a direct comparison to different systems. Through first-principles calculations, we further identify the nodal p-wave candidate material CeNiAsO as a high-efficiency NREE material, revealing a  ~ 25 times larger response than the maximally achieved relativistic EE and other reported NREE in non-collinear magnetic systems with broken time-reversal symmetry. …”

Efficient compression of encoder-decoder models for semantic segmentation using the separation index by Movahed Jamshidi, Ahmad Kalhor, Abdol-Hossein Vahabie

“…Abstract We present a novel approach to compressing encoder–decoder architectures, particularly in semantic segmentation tasks, by leveraging the Separation Index (SI)—a metric that quantifies how distinctly a network’s feature maps separate different classes at the pixel level. By identifying and pruning redundant layers and filters, our method preserves the fine-grained spatial details crucial for segmentation while significantly reducing model complexity. …”
