We show that any homomorphism from the homeomorphism group of a compact 2-manifold, with the compact-open topology, or equivalently, with the topology of uniform convergence, into a separable topological group is automatically continuous.
Extends continuity proof to non-compact manifolds and groups.
Let M be a compact manifold, possibly with boundary. We show that the group of homeomorphisms of M has the automatic continuity property: any homomorphism from Homeo(M) to any separable group is necessarily continuous. This answers a question of C. Rosendal. If N is a submanifold of M, the group of homeomorphisms of M …

Current Deep Reinforcement Learning algorithms still heavily rely on handcrafted neural network architectures.

The framework can successfully train both deep discriminative models and deep generative models in compl…
This paper describes a reference architecture for self-maintaining systems that can learn continually, as data arrives. In environments where data evolves, we need architectures that manage Machine Learning (ML) models in production, adapt to shifting data distributions, cope with outliers, retrain when necessary, and …

Making sense of a dataset in an automatic and unsupervised fashion is a challenging problem in statistics and AI. Classical approaches for {exploratory data analysis} are usually not flexible enough to deal with the uncertainty inherent to real-world data: they are often restricted to fixed latent interaction models an…
We place an Indian Buffet process (IBP) prior over the structure of a Bayesian Neural Network (BNN), thus allowing the complexity of the BNN to increase and decrease automatically. We further extend this model such that the prior on the structure of each hidden layer is shared globally across all layers, using a Hierar…

In this note we derive the backward (automatic) differentiation (adjoint [automatic] differentiation) for an algorithm containing a conditional expectation operator. As an example we consider the backward algorithm as it is used in Bermudan product valuation, but the method is applicable in full generality. The method …
Stochastic variational inference offers an attractive option as a default method for differentiable probabilistic programming.

Bayesian decision theory outlines a rigorous framework for making optimal decisions based on maximizing expected utility over a model posterior.
