New interface explains contextual bandits to non-experts.

We consider the regularity of an interface between two incompressible and inviscid fluids flows in the presence of surface tension. We obtain local in time estimates on the interface in H32k+1H^{\frac32k +1} and the velocity fields in H32kH^{\frac32k}. These estimates are obtained using geometric considerations which show th…

Common models for two-phase lipid bilayer membranes are based on an energy that consists of an elastic term for each lipid phase and a line energy at interfaces. Although such an energy controls only the length of interfaces, the membrane surface is usually assumed to be at least C1C^1 across phase boundaries. We consi…

In this paper, we consider multi-valued graphs with a prescribed real analytic interface that minimize the Dirichlet energy. Such objects arise as a linearized model of area minimizing currents with real analytic boundaries and our main result is that their singular set is discrete in 2 dimensions. This confirms (and p…

We propose that a simple, Lagrangian 2d N=(0,2)\mathcal{N}=(0, 2) duality interface between the 3d N=2\mathcal{N}=2 XYZ model and 3d N=2\mathcal{N}=2 SQED can be associated to the simplest triangulated 4-manifold: the 4-simplex. We then begin to flesh out a dictionary between more general triangulated 4-manifolds with boundar…

In artificial intelligence, we often specify tasks through a reward function. While this works well in some settings, many tasks are hard to specify this way. In deep reinforcement learning, for example, directly specifying a reward as a function of a high-dimensional observation is challenging. Instead, we present an …
