Quantization techniques have been applied in many challenging finance applications, including pricing claims with path dependence and early exercise features, stochastic optimal control, filtering problems and efficient calibration of large derivative books. Recursive Marginal Quantization of the Euler scheme has recen…

Paper studies metric ribbon graphs and provides a recursion for their volumes.
In this work, we revisit fast dimension reduction approaches, as with random projections and random sampling. Our goal is to summarize the data to decrease computational costs and memory footprint of subsequent analysis. Such dimension reduction can be very efficient when the signals of interest have a strong structure…
We review properties of so-called special conformal Killing tensors on a Riemannian manifold and the way they give rise to a Poisson-Nijenhuis structure on the tangent bundle . We then address the question of generalizing this concept to a Finsler space, where the metric tensor field comes from a regular La…
We introduce a recursive algorithm for performing compressed sensing on streaming data. The approach consists of a) recursive encoding, where we sample the input stream via overlapping windowing and make use of the previous measurement in obtaining the next one, and b) recursive decoding, where the signal estimate from…
This paper develops coding techniques to reduce the running time of distributed learning tasks. It characterizes the fundamental tradeoff to compute gradients (and more generally vector summations) in terms of three parameters: computation load, straggler tolerance and communication cost. It further gives an explicit c…
Estimates and optimizes UBSR risk in recursive settings.
New method calculates super-hedging prices with transaction costs.
We give the first algorithm for kernel Nyström approximation that runs in *linear time in the number of training points* and is provably accurate for all kernel matrices, without dependence on regularity or incoherence conditions. The algorithm projects the kernel onto a set of landmark points sampled by their *rid…
New method for PKM inverse dynamics second derivatives efficiently.
The digital telecommunications receiver is an important context for inference methodology, the key objective being to minimize the expected loss function in recovering the transmitted information. For that criterion, the optimal decision is the Bayesian minimum-risk estimator. However, the computational load of the Bay…
The bits-back argument suggests that latent variable models can be turned into lossless compression schemes. Translating the bits-back argument into efficient and practical lossless compression schemes for general latent variable models, however, is still an open problem. Bits-Back with Asymmetric Numeral Systems (BB-A…
The paper analyzes convergence of Riemannian SA schemes for stochastic optimization.
Improved multilevel scheme for value-at-risk computation.
Introduces a new theoretical framework for exponential smoothing.
Many recent invertible neural architectures are based on coupling block designs where variables are divided in two subsets which serve as inputs of an easily invertible (usually affine) triangular transformation. While such a transformation is invertible, its Jacobian is very sparse and thus may lack expressiveness. Th…
Explains gradient descent methods and their convergence, focusing on simple analysis.
New approach solves utility maximization problems using Delta family.
Recursive neural networks have widely been used by researchers to handle applications with recursively or hierarchically structured data. However, embedded control flow deep learning frameworks such as TensorFlow, Theano, Caffe2, and MXNet fail to efficiently represent and execute such neural networks, due to lack of s…
Unified framework for observables in n-plectic geometry.
A new asymptotic expansion scheme for backward SDEs (BSDEs) is proposed.The perturbation parameter is introduced just to scale the forward stochastic variables within a BSDE. In contrast to the standard small-diffusion asymptotic expansion method, the dynamics of variables given by the forward SDEs is treated exactly. …
In this work, we have presented a simple analytical approximation scheme for generic non-linear FBSDEs. By treating the interested system as the linear decoupled FBSDE perturbed with non-linear generator and feedback terms, we have shown that it is possible to carry out a recursive approximation to an arbitrarily highe…

We give a simple recursion which computes the triply graded Khovanov-Rozansky homology of several infinite families of knots and links, including the and torus links for . We interpret our results in terms of Catalan combinatorics, proving a conjecture of Gorsky's. Our computations agr…
We consider a strictly pathwise setting for Delta hedging exotic options, based on Föllmer's pathwise Itō calculus. Price trajectories are -dimensional continuous functions whose pathwise quadratic variations and covariations are determined by a given local volatility matrix. The existence of Delta hedging strategie…

New recursion formula for non-orientable surfaces resolves divergences.
Harer and Zagier proved a recursion to enumerate gluings of a -gon that result in an orientable genus surface, in their work on Euler characteristics of moduli spaces of curves. Analogous results have been discovered for other enumerative problems, so it is natural to pose the following question: how large is t…
New algorithm improves latent variable model estimation.
We propose new machine learning schemes for solving high dimensional nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). Relying on the classical backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE) representation of PDEs, our algorithms estimate simultaneously the solution and its gradient by deep neural networks. These appr…
This paper studies recursive ensembles driven by Fibonacci updates, improving learning dynamics.
Life insurance cash flows become reserve dependent when contract conditions are modified during the contract term on condition that actuarial equivalence is maintained. As a result, insurance cash flows and prospective reserves depend on each other in a circular way, and it is a non-trivial problem to solve that circul…

LASER compresses recursive model activations by exploiting their low-dimensional structure.
We describe a method for recursively calculating Gromov-Witten invariants of all blowups of the projective plane. This recursive formula is different from the recursive formulas due to Göttsche and Pandharipande in the zero genus case, and Caporaso and Harris in the case of no blowups. We use tropical curves and a recu…
Topological recursion recovers a specific partition function for colored knots.
We derive the Do and Norbury recursion formula for the one-loop mean of an irregular spectral curve from a variant of replica method by Brezín and Hikami. We express this recursion in special times in which all terms of the genus expansion of the one-loop mean are polynomials. We find a generalization of th…
This paper concerns the recursive utility maximization problem under partial information. We first transform our problem under partial information into the one under full information. When the generator of the recursive utility is concave, we adopt the variational formulation of the recursive utility which leads to a s…
