The paper bounds abnormal and Goh-abnormal sets for metabelian Lie groups with polarizations.

problem Bounding abnormal and Goh-abnormal sets for metabelian Lie groups.
method Analyzing rank 2 polarizations and sub-Riemannian structures on metabelian Lie groups.
result Metabelian Lie groups with polarizations satisfy the minimizing Sard property.

In Carnot-Caratheodory or sub-Riemannian geometry, one of the major open problems is whether the conclusions of Sard's theorem holds for the endpoint map, a canonical map from an infinite-dimensional path space to the underlying finite-dimensional manifold. The set of critical values for the endpoint map is also known …

We address the problem of abnormal event detection from trajectory data. In this paper, a new adversarial approach is proposed for building a deep neural network binary classifier, trained in an unsupervised fashion, that can distinguish normal from abnormal trajectory-based events without the need for setting manual d…

This study examines abnormal geodesics in 2D-Zermelo navigation problems, revealing their role in separating time minimal and maximal curves.

problem The role of abnormal geodesics in planar Zermelo navigation problems with strong current.
method Geometric time optimal control approach, focusing on the heading angle of the ship.
result Abnormal geodesics separate time minimal and maximal curves, and are both small-time minimizing and maximizing.

In this article we prove that the codimension of the abnormal set of the endpoint map for certain classes of Carnot groups of step 2 is at least three. Our result applies to all step 2 Carnot groups of dimension up to 7 and is a generalisation of a previous analogous result for step 2 free nilpotent groups.

Study on abnormal curves in sub-Riemannian manifolds, proving length-minimizing properties.

method Analyzing curves that annihilate Lie brackets and proving minimization properties.
result Strictly abnormal geodesics can cease to be locally length-minimizing.

We prove the smoothness of abnormal minimizers of subriemannian manifolds of step 3 with a nilpotent basis. We prove that rank 2 Carnot groups of step 4 admit no strictly abnormal minimizers. For any subriemannian manifolds of step less than 7, we show all abnormal minimizers have no corner type singularities, which pa…

Media tone around earnings announcements predicts stock returns.

problem Determining if media tone around earnings announcements provides useful information for stock prices.
method Conducted an event study on media tone around earnings announcements for nonfinancial S&P 500 firms.
result Media tone around earnings announcements predicts abnormal stock returns.

In this paper, we focus on the development of a method that detects abnormal trajectories of road users at traffic intersections. The main difficulty with this is the fact that there are very few abnormal data and the normal ones are insufficient for the training of any kinds of machine learning model. To tackle these …

We show that strictly abnormal geodesics arise in graded nilpotent Lie groups. We construct such a group, for which some Carnot geodesics are strictly abnormal; in fact, they are not normal in any subgroup. In the step-2 case we also prove that these geodesics are always smooth. Our main technique is based on the equat…

In machine learning, novelty detection is the task of identifying novel unseen data. During training, only samples from the normal class are available. Test samples are classified as normal or abnormal by assignment of a novelty score. Here we propose novelty detection methods based on training variational autoencoders…

In this note, we study the cut locus of the free, step two Carnot groups Gk\mathbb{G}_k with kk generators, equipped with their left-invariant Carnot-Carathéodory metric. In particular, we disprove the conjectures on the shape of the cut loci proposed in [Myasnichenko - 2002] and [Montanari, Morbidelli - 2016], by exh…

Learning how to rank multivariate unlabeled observations depending on their degree of abnormality/novelty is a crucial problem in a wide range of applications. In practice, it generally consists in building a real valued "scoring" function on the feature space so as to quantify to which extent observations should be co…

The FCA improved insider trading regulation after 2012, reducing abnormal returns.

problem Regulation of insider trading before and after the UK Financial Services Act 2012.
method Event study methodology using abnormal returns analysis.
result Abnormal returns were reduced after the FCA took over from the FSA.

We study trade-based manipulation of stock prices from the perspective of complex trading networks constructed by using detailed information of trades. A stock trading network consists of nodes and directed links, where every trader is a node and a link is formed from one trader to the other if the former sells shares …

A 3D almost-Riemannian manifold is a generalized Riemannian manifold defined locally by 3 vector fields that play the role of an orthonormal frame, but could become collinear on some set $\Zz$ called the singular set. Under the Hormander condition, a 3D almost-Riemannian structure still has a metric space structure, wh…

Due to the inherent uncertainty of data, the problem of predicting partial ranking from pairwise comparison data with ties has attracted increasing interest in recent years. However, in real-world scenarios, different individuals often hold distinct preferences. It might be misleading to merely look at a global partial…
