Simulating Visual Impairments in XR: Toward Virtual Player Models for Inclusive Design See

This work presents a novel approach to assessing accessibility in Extended Reality (XR) through the development of Virtual Player Models (VPMs) for simulating visual impairments. Grounded in qualitative insights from visually impaired users and informed by clinical vision parameters, each&...

libFLASM: A software library for fixed-length approximate string matching See

Background: Approximate string matching is the problem of finding all factors of a given text that are at a distance at most k from a given pattern. Fixed-length approximate string matching is the problem of finding all factors of a text of length n that are&#...

MARS: Improving multiple circular sequence alignment using refined sequences See

Background: A fundamental assumption of all widely-used multiple sequence alignment techniques is that the left- and right-most positions of the input sequences are relevant to the alignment. However, the position where a sequence starts or ends can be totally arbitrary due to a nu...

U-Index: A Universal Indexing Framework for Matching Long Patterns See

Motivation. Text indexing is a fundamental and well-studied problem. Classic solutions to this problem either replace the original text with a compressed representation, e.g., the FM-index and its variants, or keep it uncompressed but attach some redundancy - an index - to accelerate&#x...

Constraints on standard model effective field theory for a Higgs boson produced in association with W or Z bosons in the H→bb̅ decay channel in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV See

A standard model effective field theory (SMEFT) analysis with dimension-six operators probing nonresonant new physics effects is performed in the Higgs-strahlung process, where the Higgs boson is produced in association with a W or Z boson, in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass...

Search for a new scalar resonance decaying to a Higgs boson and another new scalar particle in the final state with two bottom quarks and two photons in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV See

A search is presented for a new scalar resonance, X, decaying to a standard model Higgs boson and another new scalar particle, Y, in the final state where the Higgs boson decays to a bb̅ pair, while the Y particle decays to a pair of photons. The search is&...
