We examine spaces of connected tri-/univalent graphs subject to local relations which are motivated by the theory of Vassiliev invariants. It is shown that the behaviour of ladder-like subgraphs is strongly related to the parity of the number of rungs: there are similar relations for ladders of even and odd lengths, re…

We used the Ladder Network [Rasmus et al. (2015)] to perform Hyperspectral Image Classification in a semi-supervised setting.

Variational Autoencoders are powerful models for unsupervised learning. However deep models with several layers of dependent stochastic variables are difficult to train which limits the improvements obtained using these highly expressive models.

We prove that the HOMFLYPT polynomial of a link, colored by partitions with a fixed number of rows is a qq-holonomic function. Specializing to the case of knots colored by a partition with a single row, it proves the existence of an (a,q)(a,q) super-polynomial of knots in 3-space, as was conjectured by string theorists. …
