High-entropy high-hardness metal carbides discovered by entropy descriptors [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
High-entropy materials have attracted considerable interest due to the combination of useful properties and promising applications. Predicting their formation remains the major hindrance to the discovery of new systems.

Flexural Strength and Hardness of Filler-Reinforced PMMA Targeted for Denture Base Application

open access: yesMaterials, 2021
The aim of this work was to evaluate the flexural strength and surface hardness of heat-cured Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) modified by the addition of ZrO2 nanoparticles, TiO2 nanoparticles, and E-glass fibre at different wt.% concentrations. Specimens

Hardness-Aware Deep Metric Learning [PDF]

open access: yesComputer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2019
This paper presents a hardness-aware deep metric learning (HDML) framework. Most previous deep metric learning methods employ the hard negative mining strategy to alleviate the lack of informative samples for training.

The hardness of conditional independence testing and the generalised covariance measure [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Statistics, 2018
It is a common saying that testing for conditional independence, i.e., testing whether whether two random vectors $X$ and $Y$ are independent, given $Z$, is a hard statistical problem if $Z$ is a continuous random variable (or vector).

Transferability and Hardness of Supervised Classification Tasks [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE International Conference on Computer Vision, 2019
We propose a novel approach for estimating the difficulty and transferability of supervised classification tasks. Unlike previous work, our approach is solution agnostic and does not require or assume trained models.

Hardness of approximate nearest neighbor search [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium on the Theory of Computing, 2018
We prove conditional near-quadratic running time lower bounds for approximate Bichromatic Closest Pair with Euclidean, Manhattan, Hamming, or edit distance.

On the concrete hardness of Learning with Errors

open access: yesJournal of Mathematical Cryptology, 2015
The learning with errors (LWE) problem has become a central building block of modern cryptographic constructions. This work collects and presents hardness results for concrete instances of LWE.

The Hall–Petch and inverse Hall–Petch relations and the hardness of nanocrystalline metals

open access: yesJournal of Materials Science, 2019
We review some of the factors that influence the hardness of polycrystalline materials with grain sizes less than 1 µm. The fundamental physical mechanisms that govern the hardness of nanocrystalline materials are discussed.

Self-consistent determination of hard modes in hot QCD [PDF]

open access: yesPhys.Rev.D55:4997-5014,1997; Erratum-ibid.D56:2475,1997, 1996
We determine self-consistently the hard-quark and hard-gluon modes in hot QCD. The damping-rate part in resummed hard-quark or hard-gluon propagators, rather than the thermal-mass part, plays the dominant role.

Proof verification and hardness of approximation problems

open access: yesProceedings., 33rd Annual Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science, 1992
The class PCP(f(n),g(n)) consists of all languages L for which there exists a polynomial-time probabilistic oracle machine that used O(f(n)) random bits, queries O(g(n)) bits of its oracle and behaves as follows: If x in L then there exists an oracle y ...
