Quantifying genuine multipartite correlations and their pattern complexity
We propose an information-theoretic framework to quantify multipartite correlations in classical and quantum systems, answering questions such as: what is the amount of seven-partite correlations in a given state of ten particles? We identify measures of genuine multipartite correlations, i.e. statistical dependencie...

Normalized Maximum Likelihood with Luckiness for Multivariate Normal Distributions
The normalized maximum likelihood (NML) is one of the most important distribution in coding theory and statistics. NML is the unique solution (if exists) to the pointwise minimax regret problem. However, NML is not defined even for simple family of distributions such as the normal distributions. Since there does not ...

From the Icosahedron to E8
The regular icosahedron is connected to many exceptional objects in mathematics. Here we describe two constructions of the $\mathrm{E}_8$ lattice from the icosahedron. One uses a subring of the quaternions called the "icosians", while the other uses du Val's work on the resolution of Kleinian singularities. Together ...

Game-Theoretic Semantics for ATL+ with Applications to Model Checking
We develop game-theoretic semantics (GTS) for the fragment ATL+ of the full Alternating-time Temporal Logic ATL*, essentially extending a recently introduced GTS for ATL. We first show that the new game-theoretic semantics is equivalent to the standard semantics of ATL+ (based on perfect recall strategies). We then p...

Killing Three Birds with one Gaussian Process: Analyzing Attack Vectors on Classification
The wide usage of Machine Learning (ML) has lead to research on the attack vectors and vulnerability of these systems. The defenses in this area are however still an open problem, and often lead to an arms race. We define a naive, secure classifier at test time and show that a Gaussian Process (GP) is an instance of ...

Quasimomentum of an elementary excitation for a system of point bosons with zero boundary conditions
As is known, an elementary excitation of a many-particle system with boundaries is not characterized by a definite momentum. Here, we obtain the formula for the quasimomentum of an elementary excitation for a one-dimensional system of $N$ spinless point bosons with zero boundary conditions (BCs). We also find that th...

Infinitely many minimal classes of graphs of unbounded clique-width
The celebrated theorem of Robertson and Seymour states that in the family of minor-closed graph classes, there is a unique minimal class of graphs of unbounded tree-width, namely, the class of planar graphs. In the case of tree-width, the restriction to minor-closed classes is justified by the fact that the tree-widt...

Every nearest-neighbour pair of sites on the square lattice has an isotropic antiferromagnetic exchange bond of strength $J_{1}>0$, while th...

Clouds in the atmospheres of extrasolar planets. V. The impact of CO2 ice clouds on the outer boundary of the habitable zone
Clouds have a strong impact on the climate of planetary atmospheres. The potential scattering greenhouse effect of CO2 ice clouds in the atmospheres of terrestrial extrasolar planets is of particular interest because it might influence the position and thus the extension of the outer boundary of the classic habitable...

Segmentation of the Proximal Femur from MR Images using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been proposed as a complimentary method to measure bone quality and assess fracture risk. However, manual segmentation of MR images of bone is time-consuming, limiting the use of MRI measurements in the clinical practice. The purpose of this paper is to present an automatic proxim...

Identifying On-time Reward Delivery Projects with Estimating Delivery Duration on Kickstarter
In Crowdfunding platforms, people turn their prototype ideas into real products by raising money from the crowd, or invest in someone else's projects. In reward-based crowdfunding platforms such as Kickstarter and Indiegogo, selecting accurate reward delivery duration becomes crucial for creators, backers, and platfo...

Bayesian Model-Agnostic Meta-Learning
Learning to infer Bayesian posterior from a few-shot dataset is an important step towards robust meta-learning due to the model uncertainty inherent in the problem. In this paper, we propose a novel Bayesian model-agnostic meta-learning method. The proposed method combines scalable gradient-based meta-learning with n...

Distributed matching scheme and a flexible deterministic matching algorithm for arbitrary systems
We discuss the distributed matching scheme in accelerators where control of transverse beam phase space, oscillation, and transport is accomplished by flexible distribution of focusing elements beyond dedicated matching sections. Besides freeing accelerator design from fixed matching sections, such a scheme has many ...

Group Metrics for Graph Products of Cyclic Groups
We complement the characterization of the graph products of cyclic groups $G(\Gamma, \mathfrak{p})$ admitting a Polish group topology of [9] with the following result. Let $G = G(\Gamma, \mathfrak{p})$, then the following are equivalent: (i) there is a metric on $\Gamma$ which induces a separable topology in which $E...

Robust Online Multi-Task Learning with Correlative and Personalized Structures
Multi-Task Learning (MTL) can enhance a classifier's generalization performance by learning multiple related tasks simultaneously. Conventional MTL works under the offline or batch setting, and suffers from expensive training cost and poor scalability. To address such inefficiency issues, online learning techniques h...

Cobordism maps on PFH induced by Lefschetz fibration over higher genus base
In this note, we discuss the cobordism maps on periodic Floer homology(PFH) induced by Lefschetz fibration. In the first part of the note, we define the cobordism maps on PFH induced by Lefschetz fibration via Seiberg Witten theory and the isomorphism between PFH and Seiberg Witten cohomology. The second part is to d...

A short note on the order of the Zhang-Liu matrices over arbitrary fields
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the Zhang-Liu matrices to be diagonalizable over arbitrary fields and provide the eigen-decomposition when it is possible. We use this result to calculate the order of these matrices over any arbitrary field. This generalizes a result of the second author.

Ferromagnetic transition in a one-dimensional spin-orbit-coupled metal and its mapping to a critical point in smectic liquid crystals
We study the quantum phase transition between a paramagnetic and ferromagnetic metal in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit coupling in one dimension. Using bosonization, we analyze the transition by means of renormalization group, controlled by an $\varepsilon$-expansion around the upper critical dimension of two. We ...

Riemannian almost product manifolds generated by a circulant structure
A 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold equipped with a circulant structure, which is an isometry with respect to the metric and its fourth power is the identity, is considered. The almost product manifold associated with the considered manifold is studied. The relation between the covariant derivatives of the almost pro...

Transfer Learning for Performance Modeling of Configurable Systems: An Exploratory Analysis
Modern software systems provide many configuration options which significantly influence their non-functional properties. To understand and predict the effect of configuration options, several sampling and learning strategies have been proposed, albeit often with significant cost to cover the highly dimensional confi...

Critique of Barbosa's "P != NP Proof"
We review André Luiz Barbosa's paper "P != NP Proof," in which the classes P and NP are generalized and claimed to be proven separate. We highlight inherent ambiguities in Barbosa's definitions, and show that attempts to resolve this ambiguity lead to flaws in the proof of his main result.

Two-Armed Bandit Problem, Data Processing, and Parallel Version of the Mirror Descent Algorithm
We consider the minimax setup for the two-armed bandit problem as applied to data processing if there are two alternative processing methods available with different a priori unknown efficiencies. One should determine the most effective method and provide its predominant application. To this end we use the mirror des...

Bearing fault diagnosis under varying working condition based on domain adaptation
Traditional intelligent fault diagnosis of rolling bearings work well only under a common assumption that the labeled training data (source domain) and unlabeled testing data (target domain) are drawn from the same distribution. When the distribution changes, most fault diagnosis models need to be rebuilt from scratc...

On quasi-hereditary algebras
In this paper we introduce an easily verifiable sufficient condition to determine whether an algebra is quasi-hereditary. In the case of monomial algebras, we give conditions that are both necessary and sufficient to show whether an algebra is quasi-hereditary.

Clustering Analysis on Locally Asymptotically Self-similar Processes with Known Number of Clusters
We study the problems of clustering locally asymptotically self-similar stochastic processes, when the true number of clusters is priorly known. A new covariance-based dissimilarity measure is introduced, from which the so-called approximately asymptotically consistent clustering algorithms are obtained. In a simulat...

The effect of the smoothness of fractional type operators over their commutators with Lipschitz symbols on weighted spaces
We prove boundedness results for integral operators of fractional type and their higher order commutators between weighted spaces, including $L^p$-$L^q$, $L^p$-$BMO$ and $L^p$-Lipschitz estimates. The kernels of such operators satisfy certain size condition and a Lipschitz type regularity, and the symbol of the commu...

Fast mean-reversion asymptotics for large portfolios of stochastic volatility models
We consider a large portfolio limit where the asset prices evolve according certain stochastic volatility models with default upon hitting a lower barrier. When the asset prices and the volatilities are correlated via systemic Brownian Motions, that limit exist and it is described by a SPDE on the positive half-space...
