We propose a new framework of XGBoost that predicts the entire conditional distribution of a univariate response variable. In particular, XGBoostLSS models all moments of a parametric distribution (i.e., mean, location, scale and shape [LSS]) instead of the conditional mean only. Choosing from a wide range of continuou…

Hybrid continuous-discrete models naturally represent many real-world applications in robotics, finance, and environmental engineering. Inference with large-scale models is challenging because relational structures deteriorate rapidly during inference with observations. The main contribution of this paper is an efficie…

Many nonlinear extensions of the Kalman filter, e.g., the extended and the unscented Kalman filter, reduce the state densities to Gaussian densities. This approximation gives sufficient results in many cases. However, this filters only estimate states that are correlated with the observation. Therefore, sequential esti…

Verma Howe duality connects tensor products of Verma modules to LKB representations.

problem Understanding the relationship between tensor products of Verma modules and LKB representations.

result LKB representations arise from the quantized Verma Howe duality and are shown to be simple modules.

We introduce the thermodynamic variational objective (TVO) for learning in both continuous and discrete deep generative models. The TVO arises from a key connection between variational inference and thermodynamic integration that results in a tighter lower bound to the log marginal likelihood than the standard variatio…

We give the definition of a duality that is applicable to arbitrary kk-forms. The operator that defines the duality depends on a fixed form ΩΩ. Our definition extends in a very natural way the Hodge duality of nn-forms in 2n2n dimensional spaces and the generalized duality of two-forms. We discuss the properties of …

We study generalized complex structures and TT-duality (in the sense of Bouwknegt, Evslin, Hannabuss and Mathai) on Lie algebras and construct the corresponding Cavalcanti and Gualtieri map. Such a construction is called "Infinitesimal TT-duality". As an application we deal with the problem of finding symplectic stru…

We find the T-duality transformation rules for 2-dimensional (2,1) supersymmetric sigma-models in (2,1) superspace. Our results clarify certain aspects of the (2,1) sigma model geometry relevant to the discussion of T-duality. The complexified duality transformations we find are equivalent to the usual Buscher duality …

We study discrete group actions on coarse Poincare duality spaces, e.g. acyclic simplicial complexes which admit free cocompact group actions by Poincare duality groups. When G is an (n-1) dimensional duality group and X is a coarse Poincare duality space of formal dimension n, then a free simplicial action of G on X d…
