We propose and evaluate computational techniques for deciphering unknown scripts. We focus on the case in which an unfamiliar script encodes a known language. The decipherment of a brief document or inscription is driven by data about the spoken language. We consider which scripts are easy or hard to decipher, how much data is required, and whether the techniques are robust against language cha...

In-volume ultrafast laser direct writing of silicon is generally limited by strong nonlinear propagation effects preventing the initiation modifications. By employing a triple-optimization procedure in spectral, temporal and spatial domains, we demonstrate that modifications can be repeatably produced inside silicon. Our approach relies on irradiation at $\approx 2$-$\mu$m wavelength with tempo...
