Low bit-width integer weights and activations are very important for efficient inference, especially with respect to lower power consumption. We propose Monte Carlo methods to quantize the weights and activations of pre-trained neural networks without any re-training. By performing importance sampling we obtain quantiz…
In the theory of finite order knot invariants, the universal sl2 weight system maps the chord diagrams to polynomials in a single variable with integer coefficients. In this paper, we define a family of polynomials that generalize the Kreweras triangle (known to refine the normalized median Genocchi numbers),…
Conjecturally, the only knots in S3 with non-integer surgeries producing Seifert fibered spaces are torus knots and cables of torus knots. In this paper, we make progress on the associated realization problem. Let Y be a small Seifert fibered space arising by p/q-surgery on a knot in S3, where p/q is positi…
We prove that if N≥2 and α:FN→π1(Γ) is a marking on FN, then for any integer r≥2 and any FN-invariant collection of non-negative integral "weights" associated to all subtrees K of Γ of radius ≤r satisfying some natural "switch" conditions, there exists a finite cyclically red…
For p>3 a prime, and g>2 an integer, we use Topological Quantum Field Theory (TQFT) to study a family of p-1 highest weight modules L_p(lambda) for the symplectic group Sp(2g,K) where K is an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. This permits explicit formulae for the dimension and the formal character of L_p…
We introduce a new series Rk, k=2,3,4,…, of integer valued weight systems. The value of the weight system Rk on a chord diagram is a signed number of cycles of even length 2k in the intersection graph of the diagram. We show that this value depends on the intersection graph only. We check that for small o…
The purpose of this paper is twofold. On one hand, we introduce a modification of the dual canonical basis for invariant tensors of the 3-dimensional irreducible representation of Uq(sl2), given in terms of Jacobi diagrams, a central tool in quantum topology. On the other hand, we use this modified basis to study t…
This paper presents a novel end-to-end methodology for enabling the deployment of low-error deep networks on microcontrollers. To fit the memory and computational limitations of resource-constrained edge-devices, we exploit mixed low-bitwidth compression, featuring 8, 4 or 2-bit uniform quantization, and we model the i…
In this paper we consider the field equations for linearized gravity and other integer spin fields on the Kerr spacetime, and more generally on spacetimes of Petrov type D. We give a derivation, using the GHP formalism, of decoupled field equations for the linearized Weyl scalars for all spin weights and identify the g…
We improve deep threshold networks' memorization capacity exponentially.
problem Memorizing datasets with randomized labels using deep neural networks.
method Using Gaussian random weights in the first layer and binary or integer weights in subsequent layers, we prove a new dependence on minimum distance.
result We show that O(δ1+n) neurons and O(δd+n) weights are sufficient.
Let T be a torus of dimension at least k and M a T-manifold. M is a GKM_k-manifold if the action is equivariantly formal, has only isolated fixed points, and any k weights of the isotropy representation in the fixed points are linearly independent. In this paper we compute the cohomology rings with real and integer coe…
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 …
A {\em balanced} spatial graph has an integer weight on each edge, so that the directed sum of the weights at each vertex is zero. We describe the Alexander module and polynomial for balanced spatial graphs (originally due to Kinoshita \cite{ki}), and examine their behavior under some common operations on the graph. We…
This paper shows universality in spectrum behavior for random inner-product kernel matrices in polynomial regime.
problem Understanding spectrum behavior of random inner-product kernel matrices in polynomial regime.
method Analyzing matrices formed by a nonlinear function applied entrywise to a sample-covariance matrix, considering i.i.d. entries with all finite moments.
result The spectrum of random inner-product kernel matrices is universally described by the free convolution of the semicircular and Marčenko-Pastur distributions, with relative weights given by expanding the nonlinear function in the Hermite basis.
In 2006, Fock and Goncharov constructed a nice basis of the ring of regular functions on the moduli space of framed PGL2-local systems on a punctured surface S. The moduli space is birational to a cluster X-variety, whose positive real points recover the enhanced Teichmüller space of S. Their b…
We present a novel optimization strategy for training neural networks which we call "BitNet". The parameters of neural networks are usually unconstrained and have a dynamic range dispersed over all real values. Our key idea is to limit the expressive power of the network by dynamically controlling the range and set of …
Given a triangulation of a closed, oriented, irreducible, atoroidal 3-manifold every oriented, incompressible surface may be isotoped into normal position relative to the triangulation. Such a normal oriented surface is then encoded by non-negative integer weights, 14 for each 3-simplex, that describe how many copies o…
