Graphical notation simplifies complex polynomial constraints in linear models.

method Developed a graphical notation to represent these constraints.
result The graphical notation simplifies the representation of many polynomial constraints.

A wide class of machine learning algorithms can be reduced to variable elimination on factor graphs. While factor graphs provide a unifying notation for these algorithms, they do not provide a compact way to express repeated structure when compared to plate diagrams for directed graphical models. To exploit efficient t…

Presentations of smooth symmetry groups of differentiable stacks are studied within the framework of the weak 2-category of Lie groupoids, smooth principal bibundles, and smooth biequivariant maps. It is shown that principality of bibundles is a categorical property which is sufficient and necessary for the existence o…

We describe a method of encoding various types of link diagrams, including those with classical, flat, rigid, welded, and virtual crossings. We show that this method may be used to encode link diagrams, up to equivalence, in a notation whose length is a cubic function of the number of 'riser marks'. For classical knots…

We introduce a matrix representation of a chord on a tangle which leads us to representing tangle chord diagrams as stacks of matrices that we call books. We show that band sum moves, Reidemeister moves as well as orientation changes are implemented on \widetilde{Z}_f - a framed link invariant constructed from the Kont…

Penrose's two-spinor notation for 44-dimensional Lorentzian manifolds can be extended to two-component notation for quaternionic manifolds, which is a very useful tool for calculation. We construct a family of quaternionic complexes over unimodular quaternionic manifolds by elementary calculation. On complex quaternio…

A coreset (or core-set) of an input set is its small summation, such that solving a problem on the coreset as its input, provably yields the same result as solving the same problem on the original (full) set, for a given family of problems (models, classifiers, loss functions). Over the past decade, coreset constructio…

Implicit deep learning prediction rules generalize the recursive rules of feedforward neural networks. Such rules are based on the solution of a fixed-point equation involving a single vector of hidden features, which is thus only implicitly defined. The implicit framework greatly simplifies the notation of deep learni…
