Chromatic Learning reduces feature dimensions for sparse datasets.

Machine Learning has been steadily gaining traction for its use in Anomaly-based Network Intrusion Detection Systems (A-NIDS). Research into this domain is frequently performed using the KDD~CUP~99 dataset as a benchmark. Several studies question its usability while constructing a contemporary NIDS, due to the skewed r…

We present a system that enables rapid model experimentation for tera-scale machine learning with trillions of non-zero features, billions of training examples, and millions of parameters. Our contribution to the literature is a new method (SA L-BFGS) for changing batch L-BFGS to perform in near real-time by using stat…

Sequential decision making is a typical problem in reinforcement learning with plenty of algorithms to solve it. However, only a few of them can work effectively with a very small number of observations. In this report, we introduce the progress to learn the policy for Malaria Control as a Reinforcement Learning proble…

This paper uses β-VAE for unsupervised anomaly detection in NSL-KDD.

Measuring the impact of scientific articles is important for evaluating the research output of individual scientists, academic institutions and journals. While citations are raw data for constructing impact measures, there exist biases and potential issues if factors affecting citation patterns are not properly account…

In recent years, as intrusion attacks on IoT networks have grown exponentially, there is an immediate need for sophisticated intrusion detection systems (IDSs). A vast majority of current IDSs are data-driven, which means that one of the most important aspects of this area of research is the quality of the data acquire…

Study cup products on CAT(0) cube complexes, proving quasimorphisms' vanishing results.

CupNet prunes neural nets for cup-shaped data.

Let two Heegaard splittings $V_1 \cup W_1$ and $V_2 \cup W_2$ of a 3-manifold $M$ be given. We consider the union stabilization $M=V \cup W$ which is a common stabilization of $V_1 \cup W_1$ and $V_2 \cup W_2$ having the property that $V=V_1 \cup V_2$. We show that any two Heegaard splittings of a 3-manifold have a uni…

Formula for computing triple-cup product from Heegaard diagrams of 3-manifolds.

New method compares geometric and standard cup products.

This paper considers the challenge of evaluating a set of classifiers, as done in shared task evaluations like the KDD Cup or NIST TREC, without expert labels. While expert labels provide the traditional cornerstone for evaluating statistical learners, limited or expensive access to experts represents a practical bottl…

Relative cup-length defined for non-Morse functions on manifolds.

The paper shows how to transform certain 3-manifold Heegaard splittings into simpler forms.

Let $T$ be a separating incompressible torus in a 3-manifold $M$. Assuming that a genus $g$ Heegaard splitting $V \cup_S W$ can be positioned nicely with respect to $T$ (e.g. $V \cup_S W$ is strongly irreducible), we obtain an upper bound on the number of stabilizations required for $V \cup_S W$ to become isotopic to a…

An intrusion detection system (IDS) is a vital security component of modern computer networks. With the increasing amount of sensitive services that use computer network-based infrastructures, IDSs need to be more intelligent and autonomous. Aside from autonomy, another important feature for an IDS is its ability to de…

Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness all over the world, with approximately 60 million cases reported worldwide in 2010. If undiagnosed in time, glaucoma causes irreversible damage to the optic nerve leading to blindness. The optic nerve head examination, which involves measurement of cup-to-disc ratio, is…

Our main result offers a new (quite systematic) way of deriving bounds for the cup-length of Poincare spaces over fields; we outline a general research program based on this result. For the oriented Grassmann manifolds, already a limited realization of the program leads, in many cases, to the exact values of the cup-le…

It follows from a theorem of Gromov that the stable systolic category of a closed manifold is bounded from below by the rational cup-length of the manifold. In the paper we study the inequality in the opposite direction. In particular, combining our results with Gromov's theorem, we prove the equality of stable systoli…

Let $M=H_{+}\cup_{S} H_{-}$ be a genus $g$ Heegaard splitting with Heegaard distance $n\geq κ+2$: (1) Let $c_{1}$, $c_{2}$ be two slopes in the same component of $\partial_{-}H_{-}$, such that the natural Heegaard splitting $M^{i}=H_{+}\cup_{S} (H_{-}\cup_{c_{i}} 2-handle)$ has distance less than $n$, then the distance…

Fan tokens surged before World Cup matches, but declined during them, revealing cognitive biases.

We prove the vanishing of the cup product of the bounded cohomology classes associated to any two Brooks quasimorphisms on the free group. This is a consequence of the vanishing of the square of a universal class for tree automorphism groups.

New invariant connects virtual and classical linking numbers.

Let $n$, $q$ and $r$ be positive integers, and let $K_N^n$ be the $n$-skeleton of an $(N-1)$-simplex. We show that for $N$ sufficiently large every embedding of $K_N^n$ in $\mathbb{R}^{2n+1}$ contains a link $L_1\cup\cdots\cup L_r$ consisting of $r$ disjoint $n$-spheres, such that the linking number $link(L_i,L_j)$ is …

We construct cup and cap products in intersection (co)homology with field coefficients. The existence of the cap product allows us to give a new proof of Poincare duality in intersection (co)homology which is similar in spirit to the usual proof for ordinary (co)homology of manifolds.

We give a complete calculation of the infinity flavor of Heegaard Floer homology with mod 2 coefficients for all three-manifolds and torsion Spin^c structures. The computation agrees with the conjectured calculation of Ozsvath and Szabo. This therefore establishes an isomorphism with Mark's cup homology mod 2.

We obtain a classification up to isomorphism of complex-analytic supermanifolds with underlying space $\mathbb{CP}^1$ of dimension $1|3$ with retract $(k,k,k)$, where $k\in \mathbb{Z}$. More precisely, we prove that classes of isomorphic complex-analytic supermanifolds of dimension $1|3$ with retract $(k,k,k)$ are in o…

A novel resampling technique addresses class imbalance in imbalanced datasets.

In the following text we compute possible heights of $\mathbb A$ (Alexandroff square), $\mathbb O$ (unit square $[0,1]\times[0,1]$ with lexicographic order topology) and $\mathbb U$ (unit square $[0,1]\times[0,1]$ with induced topology of Euclidean plane). We prove $P_h(\mathbb{A})=\{n:n\geq5\}\cup\{+\infty\}$, $P_h(\m…

The valence of a function $f$ at a point $w$ is the number of distinct, finite solutions to $f(z) = w$. Let $f$ be a complex-valued harmonic function in an open set $R \subseteq \mathbb{C}$. Let $S$ denote the critical set of $f$ and $C(f)$ the global cluster set of $f$. We show that $f(S) \cup C(f)$ partitions the com…

Identifies a mod-$p$ triple cup product for rational homology 3-spheres with specific first homology.

In this work, we combine two different ranking methods together with several other predictors in a joint random forest approach for the scores of soccer matches. The first ranking method is based on the bookmaker consensus, the second ranking method estimates adequate ability parameters that reflect the current strengt…

Given a representation of a link group, we introduce a trilinear form, as a topological invariant. We show that, if the link is either hyperbolic or a knot with malnormality, then the trilinear form equals the pairing of the (twisted) triple cup product and the fundamental relative 3-class. Further, we give some exampl…

Suppose $(B,π)$ is an open book supporting $(Y,ξ)$, where the binding $B$ is possibly disconnected, and $K$ is a braid about this open book. Then $B\cup K$ is naturally a transverse link in $(Y,ξ)$. We prove that the transverse link invariant in knot Floer homology, \[\widehat{t}(B\cup K)\in \widehat{HFK}(-Y,B\cup K),\…

Suppose $M_{1}$ and $M_{2}$ are two special Lagrangian submanifolds of $\Rtn$ with boundary that intersect transversally at one point $p$. The set $M_{1} \cup M_{2}$ is a singular special Lagrangian variety with an isolated singularity at the point of intersection. Suppose further that the tangent planes at the interse…

We describe our language-independent unsupervised word sense induction system. This system only uses topic features to cluster different word senses in their global context topic space. Using unlabeled data, this system trains a latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) topic model then uses it to infer the topics distribution…
