Separation of the charge density wave and superconducting states by an intermediate semimetal phase in pressurized TaTe2
In layered transition metal dichalcogenides (LTMDCs) that display both charge density waves (CDWs) and superconductivity, the superconducting state generally emerges directly on suppression of the CDW state. Here, however, we report a different observation for pressurized TaTe2, a non-superconducting CDW-bearing LTMD...

Zero distribution for Angelesco Hermite--Padé polynomials
We consider the problem of zero distribution of the first kind Hermite--Padé polynomials associated with a vector function $\vec f = (f_1, \dots, f_s)$ whose components $f_k$ are functions with a finite number of branch points in plane. We assume that branch sets of component functions are well enough separated (whic...

Self-consistent assessment of Englert-Schwinger model on atomic properties
Our manuscript investigates a self-consistent solution of the statistical atom model proposed by Berthold-Georg Englert and Julian Schwinger (the ES model) and benchmarks it against atomic Kohn-Sham and two orbital-free models of the Thomas-Fermi-Dirac (TFD)-$\lambda$vW family. Results show that the ES model generall...

A decomposition formula by Ito's calculus yields a theoretical replicating strategy for the target volatility option, assuming the accessibilities of all variance swaps and swaptions. The same formula also sugg...

Logical models have been successfully used to describe regulatory and signaling networks without requiring quantitative data. However, existing data is insufficient to adequately define a unique model, rendering the parametrization of a given model a difficult task. Here, we focus on the characterization of the set o...

Scalable solvers for complex electromagnetics problems
In this work, we present scalable balancing domain decomposition by constraints methods for linear systems arising from arbitrary order edge finite element discretizations of multi-material and heterogeneous 3D problems. In order to enforce the continuity across subdomains of the method, we use a partition of the int...

A flux-splitting method for hyperbolic-equation system of magnetized electron fluids in quasi-neutral plasmas
A flux-splitting method is proposed for the hyperbolic-equation system (HES) of magnetized electron fluids in quasi-neutral plasmas. The numerical fluxes are split into four categories, which are computed by using an upwind method which incorporates a flux-vector splitting (FVS) and advection upstream splitting metho...

TransFlow: Unsupervised Motion Flow by Joint Geometric and Pixel-level Estimation
We address unsupervised optical flow estimation for ego-centric motion. We argue that optical flow can be cast as a geometrical warping between two successive video frames and devise a deep architecture to estimate such transformation in two stages. First, a dense pixel-level flow is computed with a geometric prior i...

A General Pipeline for 3D Detection of Vehicles
Autonomous driving requires 3D perception of vehicles and other objects in the in environment. Much of the current methods support 2D vehicle detection. This paper proposes a flexible pipeline to adopt any 2D detection network and fuse it with a 3D point cloud to generate 3D information with minimum changes of the 2D...

Search for CII Emission on Cosmological Scales at Redshift Z~2.6
We present a search for CII emission over cosmological scales at high-redshifts. The CII line is a prime candidate to be a tracer of star formation over large-scale structure since it is one of the brightest emission lines from galaxies. Redshifted CII emission appears in the submillimeter regime, meaning it could po...

Ricci flow and diffeomorphism groups of 3-manifolds
We complete the proof of the Generalized Smale Conjecture, apart from the case of $RP^3$, and give a new proof of Gabai's theorem for hyperbolic 3-manifolds. We use an approach based on Ricci flow through singularities, which applies uniformly to spherical space forms other than $S^3$ and $RP^3$ and hyperbolic manifo...

RLlib: Abstractions for Distributed Reinforcement Learning
Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms involve the deep nesting of highly irregular computation patterns, each of which typically exhibits opportunities for distributed computation. We argue for distributing RL components in a composable way by adapting algorithms for top-down hierarchical control, thereby encapsulat...

A Multiscale-Analysis of Stochastic Bistable Reaction-Diffusion Equations
A multiscale analysis of 1D stochastic bistable reaction-diffusion equations with additive noise is carried out w.r.t. travelling waves within the variational approach to stochastic partial differential equations. It is shown with explicit error estimates on appropriate function spaces that up to lower order w.r.t. t...

MARGIN: Uncovering Deep Neural Networks using Graph Signal Analysis
Interpretability has emerged as a crucial aspect of machine learning, aimed at providing insights into the working of complex neural networks. However, existing solutions vary vastly based on the nature of the interpretability task, with each use case requiring substantial time and effort. This paper introduces MARGI...

SVCCA: Singular Vector Canonical Correlation Analysis for Deep Learning Dynamics and Interpretability
We propose a new technique, Singular Vector Canonical Correlation Analysis (SVCCA), a tool for quickly comparing two representations in a way that is both invariant to affine transform (allowing comparison between different layers and networks) and fast to compute (allowing more comparisons to be calculated than with...

Discrete Choice and Rational Inattention: a General Equivalence Result
This paper establishes a general equivalence between discrete choice and rational inattention models. Matejka and McKay (2015, AER) showed that when information costs are modelled using the Shannon entropy function, the resulting choice probabilities in the rational inattention model take the multinomial logit form. ...

A Hardy inequality for ultraspherical expansions with an application to the sphere
We prove a Hardy inequality for ultraspherical expansions by using a proper ground state representation. From this result we deduce some uncertainty principles for this kind of expansions. Our result also implies a Hardy inequality on spheres with a potential having a double singularity.

Structured Variational Learning of Bayesian Neural Networks with Horseshoe Priors
Bayesian Neural Networks (BNNs) have recently received increasing attention for their ability to provide well-calibrated posterior uncertainties. However, model selection---even choosing the number of nodes---remains an open question. Recent work has proposed the use of a horseshoe prior over node pre-activations of ...

Efficient Reinforcement Learning via Initial Pure Exploration
In several realistic situations, an interactive learning agent can practice and refine its strategy before going on to be evaluated. For instance, consider a student preparing for a series of tests. She would typically take a few practice tests to know which areas she needs to improve upon. Based of the scores she ob...

Stochastic Evolution of Augmented Born--Infeld Equations
This paper compares the results of applying a recently developed method of stochastic uncertainty quantification designed for fluid dynamics to the Born-Infeld model of nonlinear electromagnetism. The similarities in the results are striking. Namely, the introduction of Stratonovich cylindrical noise into each of the...

T-matrix evaluation of acoustic radiation forces on nonspherical objects in Bessel beams
Acoustical radiation force (ARF) induced by a single Bessel beam with arbitrary order and location on a nonspherical shape is studied with the emphasis on the physical mechanism and parameter conditions of negative (pulling) forces. Numerical experiments are conducted to verify the T-matrix method (TMM) for axial ARF...

On the commutative center of Moufang loops
We construct two infinite series of Moufang loops of exponent $3$ whose commutative center (i.e. the set of elements that commute with all elements of the loop) is not a normal subloop. In particular, we obtain examples of such loops of orders $3^8$ and $3^{11}$ one of which can be defined as the Moufang triplication...

The Kontsevich tetrahedral flow in 2D: a toy model
In the paper "Formality conjecture" (1996) Kontsevich designed a universal flow $\dot{\mathcal{P}}=\mathcal{Q}_{a:b}(\mathcal{P})=a\Gamma_{1}+b\Gamma_{2}$ on the spaces of Poisson structures $\mathcal{P}$ on all affine manifolds of dimension $n \geqslant 2$. We prove a claim from $\textit{loc. cit.}$ stating that if ...

Twin Learning for Similarity and Clustering: A Unified Kernel Approach
Many similarity-based clustering methods work in two separate steps including similarity matrix computation and subsequent spectral clustering. However, similarity measurement is challenging because it is usually impacted by many factors, e.g., the choice of similarity metric, neighborhood size, scale of data, noise ...

Big Data Analysis Using Shrinkage Strategies
In this paper, we apply shrinkage strategies to estimate regression coefficients efficiently for the high-dimensional multiple regression model, where the number of samples is smaller than the number of predictors. We assume in the sparse linear model some of the predictors have very weak influence on the response of...

Interpreter fr topologists
Let M be a transitive model of set theory. There is a canonical interpretation functor between the category of regular Hausdorff, continuous open images of Cech-complete spaces of M and the same category in V, preserving many concepts of topology, functional analysis, and dynamics. The functor can be further canonica...

Parallel-Data-Free Voice Conversion Using Cycle-Consistent Adversarial Networks
We propose a parallel-data-free voice-conversion (VC) method that can learn a mapping from source to target speech without relying on parallel data. The proposed method is general purpose, high quality, and parallel-data free and works without any extra data, modules, or alignment procedure. It also avoids over-smoot...

Cross-validation in high-dimensional spaces: a lifeline for least-squares models and multi-class LDA
Least-squares models such as linear regression and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) are amongst the most popular statistical learning techniques. However, since their computation time increases cubically with the number of features, they are inefficient in high-dimensional neuroimaging datasets. Fortunately, for k-...
