In this work, a non-gradient descent learning (NGDL) scheme was proposed for deep feedforward neural networks (DNN). It is known that an autoencoder can be used as the building blocks of the multi-layer perceptron (MLP) DNN, the MLP is taken as an example to illustrate the proposed scheme of pseudoinverse learning algo…
We study 3-dimensional Ricci solitons which project via a semi-conformal mapping to a surface. We reformulate the equations in terms of parameters of the map; this enables us to give an ansatz for constructing solitons in terms of data on the surface. A complete description of the soliton structures on all the 3-di…
The three-dimensional Heisenberg group H3 has three left-invariant Lorentz metrics g1, g2 and g3. They are not isometric each other. In this paper, we characterize the left-invariant Lorentzian metric g1 as a Lorentz Ricci soliton. This Ricci soliton g1 is a shrinking non-gradient Ricci soliton. Likew…
In this paper, we briefly review the basic scheme of the pseudoinverse learning (PIL) algorithm and present some discussions on the PIL, as well as its variants. The PIL algorithm, first presented in 1995, is a non-gradient descent and non-iterative learning algorithm for multi-layer neural networks and has several adv…
A general Boltzmann machine with continuous visible and discrete integer valued hidden states is introduced. Under mild assumptions about the connection matrices, the probability density function of the visible units can be solved for analytically, yielding a novel parametric density function involving a ratio of Riema…
With a f-left-invariant Riemannian metric on a Lie group G, we mean a Riemannian metric which is conformally equivalent to a left-invariant Riemannian metric, with the conformal factor f. In this article, we study the geometry of such metrics and give a necessary and sufficient condition for an f-left-invariant Rie…
The purpose of this article is to study the existence and uniqueness of quasi-Einstein structures on 3-dimensional homogeneous Riemannian manifolds. To this end, we use the eight model geometries for 3-dimensional manifolds identified by Thurston. First, we present here a complete description of quasi-Einstein metric…

method Extending a result by Bahuaud-Gunasekaran-Kunduri-Woolgar, the approach involves proving the existence of Killing fields under certain curvature conditions.
result A sufficient condition for a compact, non-gradient m-quasi-Einstein metric to admit a Killing field is provided, extending the original result to the m = -2 case.
In this paper, we address a problem of machine learning system vulnerability to adversarial attacks. We propose and investigate a Key based Diversified Aggregation (KDA) mechanism as a defense strategy. The KDA assumes that the attacker (i) knows the architecture of classifier and the used defense strategy, (ii) has an…
In many contexts the modal properties of a structure change, either due to the impact of a changing environment, fatigue, or due to the presence of structural damage. For example during flight, an aircraft's modal properties are known to change with both altitude and velocity. It is thus important to quantify these cha…
