Given a compact manifold with boundary with unknown Riemannian metric. The problem is to reconstruct the metric in a class of conformal metrics from knowledge of lengths of all closed geodesics (kinematic data). An integral inequality is stated which implies uniqueness and stability for this problem. If the conformal c…
Although standard economics textbooks are seldom interested in production networks, modern economies are more and more based upon suppliers/customers interactions. One can consider entire sectors of the economy as generalised supply chains. We will take this view in the present paper and study under which conditions lo…
Financial contagion from liquidity shocks has being recently ascribed as a prominent driver of systemic risk in interbank lending markets.

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are incredibly brittle due to adversarial examples. To robustify DNNs, adversarial training was proposed, which requires large-scale but well-labeled data. However, it is quite expensive to annotate large-scale data well. To compensate for this shortage, several seminal works are utilizing l…
This paper analyzes privacy threats in federated matrix factorization.
We propose a K-sparse exhaustive search (ES-K) method and a K-sparse approximate exhaustive search method (AES-K) for selecting variables in linear regression. With these methods, K-sparse combinations of variables are tested exhaustively assuming that the optimal combination of explanatory variables is K-sparse. By co…
Study predicts US stock market will continue to fall post-COVID-19.
Portfolio selection is the central task for assets management, but it turns out to be very challenging. Methods based on pattern matching, particularly the CORN-K algorithm, have achieved promising performance on several stock markets. A key shortage of the existing pattern matching methods, however, is that the risk i…
New AI model optimizes personalized care for elderly residents.
Motivation: Identifying interaction clusters of large gene regulatory networks (GRNs) is critical for its further investigation, while this task is very challenging, attributed to data noise in experiment data, large scale of GRNs, and inconsistency between gene expression profiles and function modules, etc. It is prom…
