StreamHear: Domain-Adapted Pseudo-Labeling for Semi-Supervised Streaming Speech Recognition
Zefang Liu, Chenyang Zhu, Sangwoo Cho +3
Streaming automatic speech recognition (ASR) underperforms on domain-shifted target audio, where labeled in-domain data is costly to prepare while unlabeled audio is abundant. We p…
The quenched fraction of satellites around simulated Milky Way-mass galaxies
Francisco J. Mercado, Devontae C. Baxter, M. Katy Rodriguez Wimberly +7
We compare satellite quenched fractions across three cosmological simulation suites (FIREbox, the FIRE-2 zoom-ins, and IllustrisTNG50) and observational datasets from SAGA, ELVES,…
Resolving galaxy formation in the early Universe with BonFIRE and CampFIRE
Jenna Samuel, Michael Boylan-Kolchin, Robert Feldmann +16
The abundance and rapid growth of galaxies at cosmic dawn revealed by the James Webb Space Telescope challenges models of galaxy formation, motivating new simulations to uncover th…
From protogalaxy through thick and thin: Why did the Milky Way evolve in three kinematic phases?
Olti Myrtaj, James S. Bullock, Michael Boylan-Kolchin +8
APOGEE and Gaia data have revealed that the Milky Way's structure appears to have evolved through three distinct kinematic phases. First, at early cosmic times, the Milky Way was a…
Set the Night on FIRE: Building an Empirical Local Dark Matter Velocity Distribution
Xiuyuan Zhang, Andreas Thoyas, Lina Necib +2
The majority of terrestrial direct detection experiments for Dark Matter (DM) rely on the Standard Halo Model (SHM), which assumes the local DM velocity distribution follows a Maxw…
Second public data release of the FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations of galaxy formation
Andrew Wetzel, Jenna Samuel, Pratik J. Gandhi +34
We describe the second data release (DR2) of the FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations of galaxy formation, from the Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE) project, available…
