Winterization of Texas power system profitable but risky, estimated at $11.74bn over 30 years.

problem Profitability and risk of winterizing Texas power system infrastructure.
method Combined temperature-dependent load and outage estimates over 71 years of climate data.
result Large-scale winterization of gas infrastructure and power plants is profitable, but risks are high due to low-frequency of cold spells.

We present a novel language adaptable spell checking system which detects spelling errors and suggests context sensitive corrections in real-time. We show that our system can be extended to new languages with minimal language-specific processing. Available literature majorly discusses spell checkers for English but the…

We further study the incidence relations that arise from the various subtowers, known as Baby Monster, which exist within the R3\mathbb{R}^{3}-Monster Tower. This allows us to complete the RVTRVT class spelling rules. We also present a method of calculating the various Baby Monster that appear within the Monster Tower.

The P300 Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is a well-established communication channel for severely disabled people. The P300 event-related potential is mostly characterized by its amplitude or its area, which correlate with the spelling accuracy of the P300 speller. Here, we introduce a novel approach for estimating the …

Bayesian neural networks with data augmentation show a persistent cold posterior effect.

problem Understanding the cold posterior effect in Bayesian neural networks with data augmentation.
method Developed principled Bayesian neural networks using data augmentation, providing exact likelihoods and tight bounds.
result The cold posterior effect persists even in models incorporating data augmentation, suggesting it's not an artifact.

Playlist recommendation involves producing a set of songs that a user might enjoy. We investigate this problem in three cold-start scenarios: (i) cold playlists, where we recommend songs to form new personalised playlists for an existing user; (ii) cold users, where we recommend songs to form new playlists for a new us…

The paper investigates quantitative rigidity using Colding's monotonicity formulas for Ricci curvature.

problem Quantifying rigidity in manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature.
method Investigates pinching of Colding's monotone functionals and constructs kk-splitting functions.
result Quantitative control of splitting functions by pinching at independent points controls the distance to the nearest cone.

Graph neural networks improve cold start for new items in recommender systems.

problem Cold start problem for new items in recommender systems.
method Item hierarchy graphs and bespoke graph neural network architecture.
result Our method achieves better forecasting quality than state-of-the-art with comparable computational time.

The item cold-start problem seriously limits the recommendation performance of Collaborative Filtering (CF) methods when new items have either none or very little interactions. To solve this issue, many modern Internet applications propose to predict a new item's interaction from the possessing contents. However, it is…

We present Listen, Attend and Spell (LAS), a neural network that learns to transcribe speech utterances to characters. Unlike traditional DNN-HMM models, this model learns all the components of a speech recognizer jointly. Our system has two components: a listener and a speller. The listener is a pyramidal recurrent ne…

The cold posterior effect is explored through PAC-Bayes bounds for small sample sizes.

problem The cold posterior effect in approximate Bayesian inference for small datasets.
method Investigation through PAC-Bayes generalization bounds, focusing on temperature parameter λ.
result The temperature parameter λ in PAC-Bayes bounds captures the cold posterior effect.

Cold posteriors in BNNs harm performance, likely due to incorrect likelihood.

problem Cold posteriors in Bayesian neural networks degrade performance.
method Developed a generative model explaining cold posteriors and matched it to the tempered likelihoods.
result Cold posteriors are a result of using the wrong likelihood for image classification datasets.

This work explores the ability of collective matrix factorization models in recommender systems to make predictions about users and items for which there is side information available but no feedback or interactions data, and proposes a new formulation with a faster cold-start prediction formula that can be used in rea…

The Monster tower, also known as the Semple tower, is a sequence of manifolds with distributions of interest to both differential and algebraic geometers. Each manifold is a projective bundle over the previous. Moreover, each level is a fiber compactified jet bundle equipped with an action of finite jets of the diffeom…

method Analyze asymptotic regularity and introduce Colding-Minicozzi entropy and CR-volume.
result Establish a connection between Colding-Minicozzi entropy and CR-volume.

In automatic speech recognition (ASR) what a user says depends on the particular context she is in. Typically, this context is represented as a set of word n-grams. In this work, we present a novel, all-neural, end-to-end (E2E) ASR sys- tem that utilizes such context. Our approach, which we re- fer to as Contextual Lis…

We develop a chatbot using Deep Bidirectional Transformer models (BERT) to handle client questions in financial investment customer service. The bot can recognize 381 intents, and decides when to say "I don't know" and escalates irrelevant/uncertain questions to human operators. Our main novel contribution is the discu…

In this paper, we study the structure of the pointed-Gromov-Hausdorff limits of sequences of Ricci shrinkers. We define a regular-singular decomposition following the work of Cheeger-Colding for manifolds with a uniform Ricci curvature lower bound, and prove that the regular part of any Ricci shrinker limit space is co…

Collaborative filtering is used to recommend items to a user without requiring a knowledge of the item itself and tends to outperform other techniques. However, collaborative filtering suffers from the cold-start problem, which occurs when an item has not yet been rated or a user has not rated any items. Incorporating …
