We introduce a class of regularisable infinite dimensional principal fibre bundles which includes fibre bundles arising in gauge field theories like Yang-Mills and string theory and which generalise finite dimensional Riemannian principal fibre bundles induced by an isometric action. We show that the orbits of regulari…
We show that many standard results of Lorentzian causality theory remain valid if the regularity of the metric is reduced to C1,1. Our approach is based on regularisations of the metric adapted to the causal structure.

Noise regularisation in deep nets makes them behave like Gaussian processes.
problem Understanding the behavior of noise-regularized deep neural networks as Gaussian processes.
method Analyzing the impact of noise regularisation on neural network Gaussian processes (NNGPs) and relating their behavior to signal propagation theory.
result Best performing NNGPs have kernel parameters corresponding to a specific initialisation scheme.
We consider a general regularised interpolation problem for learning a parameter vector from data. The well known representer theorem says that under certain conditions on the regulariser there exists a solution in the linear span of the data points. This is the core of kernel methods in machine learning as it makes th…
We extend the validity of the Penrose singularity theorem to spacetime metrics of regularity C1,1. The proof is based on regularisation techniques, combined with recent results in low regularity causality theory.
Denoising autoencoders (DAEs) have proven useful for unsupervised representation learning, but a thorough theoretical understanding is still lacking of how the input noise influences learning. Here we develop theory for how noise influences learning in DAEs. By focusing on linear DAEs, we are able to derive analytic ex…
We provide a detailed proof of Hawking's singularity theorem in the regularity class C1,1, i.e., for spacetime metrics possessing locally Lipschitz continuous first derivatives. The proof uses recent results in C1,1-causality theory and is based on regularisation techniques adapted to the causal structure.
Study on GD and SGD over diagonal networks, focusing on stepsizes and regularisation.
problem Understanding the impact of stochasticity and large stepsizes on gradient descent and SGD solutions.
method Investigation of GD and SGD over diagonal linear networks with macroscopic stepsizes, proving convergence and characterizing solutions.
result Large stepsizes consistently benefit SGD for sparse regression problems, but can hinder GD recovery of sparse solutions, especially in the edge of stability regime.
This work shows how penalising bias terms in norm regularisation leads to sparse solutions.
problem Understanding the relation between parameter norm regularization and the sparsity of neural network solutions.
method Analyzes one hidden ReLU layer networks with unidimensional data, showing the norm required for function representation and the importance of the bias term's norm.
result Penalising the bias terms in regularisation leads to sparse solutions, enforcing the uniqueness and sparsity of the minimal norm interpolator.
Effective regularisation of neural networks is essential to combat overfitting due to the large number of parameters involved. We present an empirical analogue to the Lipschitz constant of a feed-forward neural network, which we refer to as the maximum gain. We hypothesise that constraining the gain of a network will h…
We present a probabilistic viewpoint to multiple kernel learning unifying well-known regularised risk approaches and recent advances in approximate Bayesian inference relaxations. The framework proposes a general objective function suitable for regression, robust regression and classification that is lower bound of the…
