Using bordered Floer theory, we construct an invariant HFO(Yorb) for 3-orbifolds Yorb with singular set a knot that generalizes the hat flavor HF(Y) of Heegaard Floer homology for closed 3-manifolds Y. We show that for a large class of 3-orbifolds,…
Following Riley's work, for each 2-bridge link K(r) of slope $r\in\QQ$ and an integer or a half-integer n greater than 1, we introduce the {\it Heckoid orbifold $\orbs(r;n)$} and the {\it Heckoid group $\Hecke(r;n)=π_1(\orbs(r;n))$ of index n for K(r)}. When n is an integer, $\orbs(r;n)$ is called an {\it eve…
This paper aims to generalize Artin's ideas to establish an one-to-one correspondence between the orbit braid group Bnorb(C,Zp) and a quotient of a group formed by some particular homeomorphisms of a punctured plane. First, we find a faithful representation of $B^{orb}_n(\mathbb{C},\mathbb{Z}_p…
We determine several necessary and sufficient conditions for a closed almost-complex orbifold Q with cyclic local groups to admit a nonvanishing vector field. These conditions are stated separately in terms of the orbifold Euler-Satake characteristics of Q and its sectors, the Euler characteristics of the underlyin…
We study the Yamabe invariants of cylindrical manifolds and compact orbifolds with a finite number of singularities, by means of conformal geometry and the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer L2-index theory. For an n-orbifold M with singularities ΣΓ={(pˇ1,Γ1),...,(pˇs,Γs)} (where each group $Γ_j<O…

method Defining a preorder relation and proving properties of links and their orbifold groups.
result If a link L is a Montesinos link with r≥3 rational tangles, then L′ is either a Montesinos link with at most r+1 rational tangles or a certain connected sum.
We give a formula of the connected component decomposition of the Alexander quandle: Z[t±1]/(f1(t),…,fk(t))=⨆i=0a−1Orb(i), where a=gcd(f1(1),…,fk(1)). We show that the connected component Orb(i) is isomorphic to Z[t±1]/J with an expli…
An algorithm for determining the list of smallest volume right-angled hyperbolic polyhedra in dimension 3 is described. This algorithm has been implemented on computer using the program Orb to compute volumes, and the first 825 polyhedra in the list have been determined.
This paper upbuilds the theoretical framework of orbit braids in M×I by making use of the orbit configuration space FG(M,n), which enriches the theory of ordinary braids, where M is a connected topological manifold of dimension at least 2 with an effective action of a finite group G and the action of G…
By applying the positivity theorem of direct images and a pluricanonical version of the structure theorem on the cohomology jumping loci à la Green-Lazarsfeld-Simpson, we show that the klt Kähler version of the Iitaka conjecture Cn,m (Ueno, 1975) for f:X→Y (surjective morphism between compact Kähler manifolds…

In this paper we enumerate and classify the ``simplest'' pairs (M,G) where M is a closed orientable 3-manifold and G is a trivalent graph embedded in M. To enumerate the pairs we use a variation of Matveev's definition of complexity for 3-manifolds, and we consider only (0,1,2)-irreducible pairs, namely pairs (M,G) suc…
In text classification, dictionaries can be used to define human-comprehensible features. We propose an improvement to dictionary features called smoothed dictionary features. These features recognize document contexts instead of n-grams. We describe a principled methodology to solicit dictionary features from a teache…

problem Understanding and quantifying the complexity of features learned by deep neural networks.
method Proposes a definition and disentanglement of feature complexity orders, introduces metrics for reliability and over-fitting evaluation.
result Establishes a relationship between feature complexity and DNN performance, and proposes a generic mathematical tool for network compression and knowledge distillation.
Conventional mutual information (MI) based feature selection (FS) methods are unable to handle heterogeneous feature subset selection properly because of data format differences or estimation methods of MI between feature subset and class label. A way to solve this problem is feature transformation (FT). In this study,…
Existing feature selection methods fail to properly account for interactions between features when evaluating feature subsets. In this paper, we attempt to remedy this issue by using orthogonal variance decomposition to evaluate features. The orthogonality of the decomposition allows us to directly calculate the total …
Online feature selection has been an active research area in recent years. We propose a novel diverse online feature selection method based on Determinantal Point Processes (DPP). Our model aims to provide diverse features which can be composed in either a supervised or unsupervised framework. The framework aims to pro…
Feature selection has been proven a powerful preprocessing step for high-dimensional data analysis. However, most state-of-the-art methods tend to overlook the structural correlation information between pairwise samples, which may encapsulate useful information for refining the performance of feature selection. Moreove…

Learning with streaming data has attracted much attention during the past few years. Though most studies consider data stream with fixed features, in real practice the features may be evolvable. For example, features of data gathered by limited-lifespan sensors will change when these sensors are substituted by new ones…
