Distortion risk measures are extensively used in finance and insurance applications because of their appealing properties. We present three methods to construct new class of distortion functions and measures. The approach involves the composting methods, the mixing methods and the approach that based on the theory of c…
Efficient point cloud compression is fundamental to enable the deployment of virtual and mixed reality applications, since the number of points to code can range in the order of millions. In this paper, we present a novel data-driven geometry compression method for static point clouds based on learned convolutional tra…
Recently, deep neural network (DNN) has made a breakthrough in monaural source enhancement. Through a training step by using a large amount of data, DNN estimates a mapping between mixed signals and clean signals. At this time, we use an objective function that numerically expresses the quality of a mapping by DNN. In …
Most distortion correction methods focus on simple forms of distortion, such as radial or linear distortions. These works undistort images either based on measurements in the presence of a calibration grid, or use multiple views to find point correspondences and predict distortion parameters. When possible distortions …
Mixed Sample Data Augmentation (MSDA) has received increasing attention in recent years, with many successful variants such as MixUp and CutMix. By studying the mutual information between the function learned by a VAE on the original data and on the augmented data we show that MixUp distorts learned functions in a way …
This paper addresses the challenges in classifying textual data obtained from open online platforms, which are vulnerable to distortion. Most existing classification methods minimize the overall classification error and may yield an undesirably large type I error (relevant textual messages are classified as irrelevant)…
method Using Denne-Sullivan's bound on Gromov distortion, the vertex distortion of nontrivial lattice knots is bounded. Then, it is shown that trivial vertex distortion implies the unknot.
result The conjecture that trivial vertex distortion implies the unknot is proven.
This paper describes a novel deep learning-based method for mitigating the effects of atmospheric distortion. We have built an end-to-end supervised convolutional neural network (CNN) to reconstruct turbulence-corrupted video sequence. Our framework has been developed on the residual learning concept, where the spatio-…
We introduce the concept of forward rank-dependent performance processes, extending the original notion to forward criteria that incorporate probability distortions. A fundamental challenge is how to reconcile the time-consistent nature of forward performance criteria with the time-inconsistency stemming from probabili…
We consider the problem of distortion minimal morphing of n-dimensional compact connected oriented smooth manifolds without boundary embedded in Rn+1. Distortion involves bending and stretching. In this paper, minimal distortion (with respect to stretching) is defined as the infinitesimal relative change in vol…
We prove that various subgroups of the mapping class group Mod(Σ) of a surface Σ are at least exponentially distorted. Examples include the Torelli group (answering a question of Hamenstadt), the "point-pushing" and surface braid subgroups, and the Lagrangian subgroup. Our techniques include a method to compute low…
The distortion of a curve measures the maximum arc/chord length ratio. Gromov showed any closed curve has distortion at least pi/2 and asked about the distortion of knots. Here, we prove that any nontrivial tame knot has distortion at least 5pi/3; examples show that distortion under 7.16 suffices to build a trefoil kno…
Study on risk measures using distorted Choquet integrals with random distortions.
problem Developing risk measures under random distortions of capacities.
method Introducing and analyzing randomly distorted Choquet integrals with respect to a distorted capacity, establishing properties and providing representations.
result Representation of comonotonic additive conditional risk measures using G-randomly distorted Choquet integrals.
We study a generalized family of stochastic orders, semiparametrized by a distortion function H, namely H-distorted stochastic dominance, which may determine a continuum of dominance relations from the first- to the second-order stochastic dominance (and beyond). Such a family is especially suitable for representing a …
DP-means clustering was obtained as an extension of K-means clustering. While it is implemented with a simple and efficient algorithm, it can estimate the number of clusters simultaneously. However, DP-means is specifically designed for the average distortion measure. Therefore, it is vulnerable to outliers in data, …
We show that an entire branched cover of finite distortion cannot have a compact branch set if its distortion satisfies a certain asymptotic growth condition. We furthermore show that this bound is strict by constructing an entire, continuous, open and discrete mapping of finite distortion which is piecewise smooth, ha…
New method for risk quantification using quantile processes and measure distortions.
problem Risk quantification and valuation in financial markets.
method Develops a novel stochastic valuation principle based on probability measure distortions induced by quantile processes.
result Introduces a system of subjective probability measures that indexes a stochastic valuation principle susceptible to probability measure distortions.
The distortion of a curve is the supremum, taken over distinct pairs of points of the curve, of the ratio of arclength to spatial distance between the points. Gromov asked in 1981 whether a curve in every knot type can be constructed with distortion less than a universal constant C. Answering Gromov's question seems to…
