Generalizing the theorem of Green--Lazarsfeld and Gromov, we classify Kaehler groups of deficiency at least two. As a consequence we see that there are no Kaehler groups of even and strictly positive deficiency. With the same arguments we prove that Kaehler groups that are non-Abelian and are limit groups in the sense …

Improved UCB method for stochastic bandits using distance tuning.

Motivated by the growing popularity of variants of the Wasserstein distance in statistics and machine learning, we study statistical inference for the Sliced Wasserstein distance--an easily computable variant of the Wasserstein distance. Specifically, we construct confidence intervals for the Sliced Wasserstein distanc…

Contextual bandit methods fail with deficient support data.

Classifiers trained on data sets possessing an imbalanced class distribution are known to exhibit poor generalisation performance. This is known as the imbalanced learning problem. The problem becomes particularly acute when we consider incremental classifiers operating on imbalanced data streams, especially when the l…

The goal of transfer learning is to improve the performance of target learning task by leveraging information (or transferring knowledge) from other related tasks. In this paper, we examine the problem of transfer distance metric learning (DML), which usually aims to mitigate the label information deficiency issue in t…

We examine certain symmetries in the deficiencies of a rational surgery on a knot in $S^3$ by comparing the $\text{Spin}^c$-structures on the rational surgery with those on a related integral surgery. We then provide an application of these symmetries in the form of a theorem that obstructs Dehn surgeries in $S^3$. Thi…

Study uses DHS to classify anemia types using CBC indices.

Proves one-relator groups are fundamental groups of Sasakian manifolds.

"Deep Learning" methods attempt to learn generic features in an unsupervised fashion from a large unlabelled data set. These generic features should perform as well as the best hand crafted features for any learning problem that makes use of this data. We provide a definition of generic features, characterize when it i…

Generative models assess quality on time-series data using ITS and FITD.

For every N > 0 there exists a group of deficiency less than -N that arises as the fundamental group of a smooth homology 4-sphere and also as the fundamental group of the complement of a compact contractible submanifold of the 4-sphere. A group is the fundamental group of the complement of a contractible submanifold o…

We address two fundamental and well-known problems of Gromov and Lyndon: \demo{Problem A} (Gromov, see [5]). Consider a category $M_n$ of closed manifolds of dimension $n$ with nonzero-degree ways as morphisms. Study a partial order $M \ge N \Leftrightarrow Mor (M, N) \neq φ$. For which $N$ the degrees of maps $f: M \t…

A new method combines online and offline learning to tackle contextual bandits with missing action support.

We study "how far away" a finite index subgroup G of SL(2,Z) is from being a congruence group. For this we define its deficiency of being a congruence group. We show that the index of the image of G in SL(2,Z/nZ) is biggest, if n is the general Wohlfahrt level. We furthermore show that the Veech groups of origamis (or …

Magnetoencephalography and electroencephalography (M/EEG) can reveal neuronal dynamics non-invasively in real-time and are therefore appreciated methods in medicine and neuroscience. Recent advances in modeling brain-behavior relationships have highlighted the effectiveness of Riemannian geometry for summarizing the sp…

We consider options that pay the complexity deficiency of a sequence of up and down ticks of a stock upon exercise. We study the price of European and American versions of this option numerically for automatic complexity, and theoretically for Kolmogorov complexity. We also consider run complexity, which is a restricte…

Paper addresses OPE for dependent bandit samples using MDS and batch updates.

We prove that every finitely presented group with positive first $\ell^2$-Betti number that virtually surjects onto $\mathbb Z$ is acylindrically hyperbolic. In particular, this implies acylindrical hyperbolicity of finitely presented residually finite groups with positive first $\ell^2$-Betti number as well as groups …

We compute the characteristic varieties and the Alexander polynomial of a finitely generated nilpotent group. We show that the first characteristic variety may be used to detect nilpotence. We use the Alexander polynomial to deduce that the only torsion-free, finitely generated nilpotent groups with positive deficiency…

We show that if $π$ is the fundamental group of a 4-dimensional infrasolvmanifold then $-2\leq{def(π)}\leq0$, and give examples realizing each of these values. We also determine the abstract commensurators of such groups. Finally we show that if $G$ is a finitely generated group the kernel of the natural homomorphism f…

We study the interplay among Wall's $D(2)$ problem, normal generation conjecture (the Wiegold Conjecture) of perfect groups and Swan's problem on partial Euler characteristic and deficiency of groups. In particular, for a 3-dimensional complex $X$ of cohomological dimension 2 with a finite fundamental group, assuming t…

Regular integer lattices are characterized by k unit vectors that build up their generator matrices. These have rank k for D-lattices, and are rank-deficient for A-lattices, for E_6 and E_7. We count lattice points inside hypercubes centered at the origin for all three types, as if classified by maximum infinity norm i…
