Title: AFT*: Integrating Active Learning and Transfer Learning to Reduce Annotation Efforts, Abstract: The splendid success of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in computer vision is largely attributed to the availability of large annotated datasets, such as ImageNet and Places. However, in biomedical imaging, it is...

Title: Do triangle-free planar graphs have exponentially many 3-colorings?, Abstract: Thomassen conjectured that triangle-free planar graphs have an exponential number of $3$-colorings. We show this conjecture to be equivalent to the following statement: there exists a positive real $\alpha$ such that whenever $G$ is a...

Title: Self-sustained activity in balanced networks with low firing-rate, Abstract: The brain can display self-sustained activity (SSA), which is the persistent firing of neurons in the absence of external stimuli. This spontaneous activity shows low neuronal firing rates and is observed in diverse in vitro and in vivo...

Title: Fixed-Rank Approximation of a Positive-Semidefinite Matrix from Streaming Data, Abstract: Several important applications, such as streaming PCA and semidefinite programming, involve a large-scale positive-semidefinite (psd) matrix that is presented as a sequence of linear updates. Because of storage limitations,...
