48 results for Gram determinant

The Gram determinant of type AA was introduced by Lickorish in his work on invariants of 3 - manifolds. We generalize the theory of the Gram determinant of type AA by evaluating, in the annulus, a bilinear form of non-intersecting connections in the disc. The main result provides a closed formula for this Gram determ…

We prove that the determinant based on n1n-1 curves divides the determinant based on nn curves. Motivated by the work on Gram determinants based on curves in a disk and curves in an an…

The roots of the determinant were predicted by Dabkowski and Przytycki, and the complete factorizati…

Asymptotics of quantum 6j6j symbols corresponding to a hyperbolic tetrahedra is investigated and the first two leading terms are determined for the case that the tetrahedron has a ideal or ultra-ideal vertex. These terms are given by the volume and the determinant of the Gram matrix of the tetrahedron. A relation to th…

We prove, in the case of hyperbolic 3-space, a couple of conjectures raised by J. J. Seidel in "On the volume of a hyperbolic simplex", Stud. Sci. Math. Hung. 21, 243-249, 1986. These conjectures concern expressing the volume of an ideal hyperbolic tetrahedron as a monotonic function of algebraic maps. More precisely, …

result Layer normalization with activations biases Gram matrix towards identity matrix at exponential rate with depth at initialization.

N-grams have been a common tool for information retrieval and machine learning applications for decades. In nearly all previous works, only a few values of nn are tested, with n>6n > 6 being exceedingly rare. Larger values of nn are not tested due to computational burden or the fear of overfitting. In this work, we pr…

Motivated by the fact that most of the information relevant to the prediction of target tokens is drawn from the source sentence S=s1,,sSS=s_1, \ldots, s_S, we propose truncating the target-side window used for computing self-attention by making an NN-gram assumption. Experiments on WMT EnDe and EnFr data sets show that the…

Deep generative models can learn to generate realistic-looking images, but many of the most effective methods are adversarial and involve a saddlepoint optimization, which requires a careful balancing of training between a generator network and a critic network. Maximum mean discrepancy networks (MMD-nets) avoid this i…
