Unique solutions found for Plateau problems in smooth and continuous calibrations.
problem Finding unique solutions to the Plateau problem for specific types of currents.
method Boundary regularity theory for area-minimizing currents and unique continuation argument.
result Every compactly supported smoothly or continuously calibrated integral current is the unique solution to the Plateau problem for its boundary data.
We equip many non compact non simply connected surfaces with smooth Riemannian metrics whose isoperimetric profile is smooth, a highly non generic property. The computation of the profile is based on a calibration argument, a rearrangement argument, the Bol-Fiala curvature dependent inequality, together with new result…
Hyperplanes, hyperspheres and hypercylinders in Rn with suitable densities are proved to be weighted minimizing by a calibration argument. Also calibration method is used to prove a weighted minimal hypersurface is weighted area-minimizing locally.
Let $(M, \om)$ be a symplectic manifold, endowed with a compatible almost complex structure J and the associated metric g . For any p \in {1, 2, ... (dim M)/2} the form $\Om := \frac{\om^p}{p!}$ is a calibration. More generally, dropping the closedness assumption on $\om$, we get an almost hermitian manifold $(M, \om, …
In this paper we present a new method to compute the first-order approximation of the price of derivatives on futures in the context of multiscale stochastic volatility of Fouque \textit{et al.} (2011, CUP). It provides an alternative method to the singular perturbation technique presented in Hikspoors and Jaimungal (2…
We consider closed-form approximations for European put option prices within the Heston and GARCH diffusion stochastic volatility models with time-dependent parameters. Our methodology involves writing the put option price as an expectation of a Black-Scholes formula and performing a second-order Taylor expansion aroun…
In this work we address the problem of argument search. The purpose of argument search is the distillation of pro and contra arguments for requested topics from large text corpora. In previous works, the usual approach is to use a standard search engine to extract text parts which are relevant to the given topic and su…
It has been suggested that adversarial examples cause deep learning models to make incorrect predictions with high confidence. In this work, we take the opposite stance: an overly confident model is more likely to be vulnerable to adversarial examples. This work is one of the most proactive approaches taken to date, as…
We use variational arguments to introduce a notion of mean curvature for surfaces in the Heisenberg group H^1 endowed with its Carnot-Carathéodory distance. By analyzing the first variation of area, we characterize C^2 stationary surfaces for the area as those with mean curvature zero (or constant if a volume-preservin…
We propose a new framework to improve the calibration of neural networks.
problem Improving the accuracy of model confidence predictions.
method Introducing a differentiable surrogate for expected calibration error (DECE) and a meta-learning framework to optimise model hyper-parameters for validation set calibration.
result Achieved competitive performance with existing calibration approaches.
Smooth calibration improves forecast reliability even with leaked information.
problem Improving forecast reliability with leaked information.
method Combining nearby forecasts to ensure smooth calibration, which can be guaranteed by deterministic procedures.
result Smooth calibration can be guaranteed by deterministic procedures even with leaked forecasts, and it yields uncoupled finite-memory dynamics in games.
Verifying probabilistic forecasts for extreme events is a highly active research area because popular media and public opinions are naturally focused on extreme events, and biased conclusions are readily made. In this context, classical verification methods tailored for extreme events, such as thresholded and weighted …
