Title: Interpreting Deep Neural Networks Through Variable Importance, Abstract: While the success of deep neural networks (DNNs) is well-established across a variety of domains, our ability to explain and interpret these methods is limited. Unlike previously proposed local methods which try to explain particular classi...

Title: Conformality of $1/N$ corrections in SYK-like models, Abstract: The Sachdev-Ye--Kitaev is a quantum mechanical model of $N$ Majorana fermions which displays a number of appealing features -- solvability in the strong coupling regime, near-conformal invariance and maximal chaos -- which make it a suitable model f...

Title: Segal-type models of higher categories, Abstract: Higher category theory is an exceedingly active area of research, whose rapid growth has been driven by its penetration into a diverse range of scientific fields. Its influence extends through key mathematical disciplines, notably homotopy theory, algebraic geome...

Title: Low-Mass Dark Matter Search with CDMSlite, Abstract: The SuperCDMS experiment is designed to directly detect weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) that may constitute the dark matter in our Galaxy. During its operation at the Soudan Underground Laboratory, germanium detectors were run in the CDMSlite mode...

Title: Gravity with free initial conditions: a solution to the cosmological constant problem testable by CMB B-mode polarization, Abstract: In standard general relativity the universe cannot be started with arbitrary initial conditions, because four of the ten components of the Einstein's field equations (EFE) are cons...

Title: Gradual Learning of Recurrent Neural Networks, Abstract: Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) achieve state-of-the-art results in many sequence-to-sequence modeling tasks. However, RNNs are difficult to train and tend to suffer from overfitting. Motivated by the Data Processing Inequality (DPI), we formulate the mul...

Title: Borel subsets of the real line and continuous reducibility, Abstract: We study classes of Borel subsets of the real line $\mathbb{R}$ such as levels of the Borel hierarchy and the class of sets that are reducible to the set $\mathbb{Q}$ of rationals, endowed with the Wadge quasi-order of reducibility with respec...

Title: Pairing from dynamically screened Coulomb repulsion in bismuth, Abstract: Recently, Prakash et. al. have discovered bulk superconductivity in single crystals of bismuth, which is a semi metal with extremely low carrier density. At such low density, we argue that conventional electron-phonon coupling is too weak ...

Title: Calabi-Yau metrics on canonical bundles of complex flag manifolds, Abstract: In the present paper we provide a description of complete Calabi-Yau metrics on the canonical bundle of generalized complex flag manifolds. By means of Lie theory we give an explicit description of complete Ricci-flat Kähler metrics obt...
