Counted essential surfaces in a knot's exterior, finding a unique pattern.

problem Counting essential surfaces in a knot's exterior.
method Counted essential surfaces by genus, using Euler totient function. Showed normal surfaces are connected by counting their components. Used Agol, Hass, and Thurston's tools to convert component counting into orbit counting.
result Found a unique pattern in the number of essential surfaces by genus.

Counting objects in digital images is a process that should be replaced by machines. This tedious task is time consuming and prone to errors due to fatigue of human annotators. The goal is to have a system that takes as input an image and returns a count of the objects inside and justification for the prediction in the…

Counting is a fundamental task in biomedical imaging and count is an important biomarker in a number of conditions. Estimating the uncertainty in the measurement is thus vital to making definite, informed conclusions. In this paper, we first compare a range of existing methods to perform counting in medical imaging and…

result Entropy gaps at infinity allow for counting and equidistribution results.

Graphlets are defined as k-node connected induced subgraph patterns. For an undirected graph, 3-node graphlets include close triangle and open triangle. When k = 4, there are six types of graphlets, e.g., tailed-triangle and clique are two possible 4-node graphlets. The number of each graphlet, called graphlet count, i…

The involutory birack counting invariant is an integer-valued invariant of unoriented tangles defined by counting homomorphisms from the fundamental involutory birack of the tangle to a finite involutory birack over a set of framings modulo the birack rank of the labeling birack. In this first of an anticipated series …

Variational Bayesian inference and (collapsed) Gibbs sampling are the two important classes of inference algorithms for Bayesian networks. Both have their advantages and disadvantages: collapsed Gibbs sampling is unbiased but is also inefficient for large count values and requires averaging over many samples to reduce …

We propose scalable methods to execute counting queries in machine learning applications. To achieve memory and computational efficiency, we abstract counting queries and their context such that the counts can be aggregated as a stream. We demonstrate performance and scalability of the resulting approach on random quer…

A gamma process dynamic Poisson factor analysis model is proposed to factorize a dynamic count matrix, whose columns are sequentially observed count vectors. The model builds a novel Markov chain that sends the latent gamma random variables at time (t1)(t-1) as the shape parameters of those at time tt, which are linked …

We consider involutory virtual biracks with good involutions, also known as symmetric involutory virtual biracks. Any good involution on an involutory virtual birack defines an enhancement of the counting invariant. We provide examples demonstrating that the enhancement is stronger than the unenhanced counting invarian…

In this paper we examine a possible reason for the LSTM outperforming the GRU on language modeling and more specifically machine translation. We hypothesize that this has to do with counting. This is a consistent theme across the literature of long term dependence, counting, and language modeling for RNNs. Using the si…
