Monte Carlo Methods for Tempo Tracking and Rhythm Quantization
We present a probabilistic generative model for timing deviations in expressive music performance. The structure of the proposed model is equivalent to a switching state space model. The switch variables correspond to discrete note locations as in a musical score. The continuous hidden variables denote the tempo. We fo...

Fast supersymmetry phenomenology at the Large Hadron Collider using machine learning techniques
A pressing problem for supersymmetry (SUSY) phenomenologists is how to incorporate Large Hadron Collider search results into parameter fits designed to measure or constrain the SUSY parameters. Owing to the computational expense of fully simulating lots of points in a generic SUSY space to aid the calculation of the li...

Symmetry protected topological orders and the group cohomology of their symmetry group
Symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases are gapped short-range-entangled quantum phases with a symmetry G. They can all be smoothly connected to the same trivial product state if we break the symmetry. The Haldane phase of spin-1 chain is the first example of SPT phase which is protected by SO(3) spin rotation symm...

Holographic Renormalization of general dilaton-axion gravity

This is achieved by developing a new systematic algorithm for iteratively solving the radial Hamilton-Jacobi equa...

Consider a probability measure supported by a regular geodesic ball in a manifold. For any p larger than or equal to 1 we define a stochastic algorithm which converges almost surely to the p-mean of the measure. Assuming furthermore that the functional to minimize is regular around the p-mean, we prove that a natural r...

The inverse moment problem for convex polytopes
The goal of this paper is to present a general and novel approach for the reconstruction of any convex d-dimensional polytope P, from knowledge of its moments. In particular, we show that the vertices of an N-vertex polytope in R^d can be reconstructed from the knowledge of O(DN) axial moments (w.r.t. to an unknown pol...

CHAPLIN - Complex Harmonic Polylogarithms in Fortran
We present a new Fortran library to evaluate all harmonic polylogarithms up to weight four numerically for any complex argument. The algorithm is based on a reduction of harmonic polylogarithms up to weight four to a minimal set of basis functions that are computed numerically using series expansions allowing for fast ...

Non-parametric change-point detection using string matching algorithms
Given the output of a data source taking values in a finite alphabet, we wish to detect change-points, that is times when the statistical properties of the source change. Motivated by ideas of match lengths in information theory, we introduce a novel non-parametric estimator which we call CRECHE (CRossings Enumeration ...

A luminous quasar at a redshift of z = 7.085
The intergalactic medium was not completely reionized until approximately a billion years after the Big Bang, as revealed by observations of quasars with redshifts of less than 6.5. It has been difficult to probe to higher redshifts, however, because quasars have historically been identified in optical surveys, which a...

Optimal Multi-Robot Path Planning with Temporal Logic Constraints
In this paper we present a method for automatically planning optimal paths for a group of robots that satisfy a common high level mission specification. Each robot's motion in the environment is modeled as a weighted transition system. The mission is given as a Linear Temporal Logic formula. In addition, an optimizing ...

Deterministic Sequencing of Exploration and Exploitation for Multi-Armed Bandit Problems
In the Multi-Armed Bandit (MAB) problem, there is a given set of arms with unknown reward models. At each time, a player selects one arm to play, aiming to maximize the total expected reward over a horizon of length T. An approach based on a Deterministic Sequencing of Exploration and Exploitation (DSEE) is developed f...

On optimality of kernels for approximate Bayesian computation using sequential Monte Carlo
Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) has gained popularity over the past few years for the analysis of complex models arising in population genetic, epidemiology and system biology. Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) approaches have become work horses in ABC. Here we discuss how to construct the perturbation kernels that a...

Results of this sort have found applications in many different areas, including sparsifying graphs. In this ...

We find that 36\pm5% of our sample of fast rotating ETGs have their ionised gas kinematically misaligned with res...

Disorder-induced Majorana metal in interacting non-Abelian anyon systems
We demonstrate that a thermal metal of Majorana fermions forms in a two-dimensional system of interacting non-Abelian (Ising) anyons in the presence of moderate disorder. This bulk metallic phase arises in the $\nu=5/2$ quantum Hall state when disorder pins the anyonic quasiparticles. More generally, it naturally occur...
