The paper studies symmetry reduction of control systems and its implications for feedback linearization.
problem Understanding symmetry reduction and its effects on feedback linearizability of control systems.
method Generalizing the notion of transversality of Lie group actions, analyzing the geometry of invariant distributions, and extending the S-G-S test.
result Classification of SFL quotients based on geometric properties of the control system and symmetry group.
Recommender systems play a crucial role in mitigating the problem of information overload by suggesting users' personalized items or services. The vast majority of traditional recommender systems consider the recommendation procedure as a static process and make recommendations following a fixed strategy. In this paper…
New research shows fixed-budget best-arm identification cannot match static oracle performance.
problem Fixed-budget best-arm identification's performance limitations.
method Analysis of various adaptive and static algorithms for best-arm identification.
result For any algorithm, there exists at least one instance where the error decay rate is at most \((1 + \frac{\log(K)}{8})^{-1}\) times that of the static oracle.
This paper extends a Kyle model to include price-responsive traders, revealing new dynamics and equilibria.
problem Real-world market dynamics involve price-responsive traders, affecting market equilibrium and insider profits.
method Developed a continuous-time Kyle model with two types of price-responsive traders (momentum and contrarian), leading to a forward-backward Riccati system for equilibrium.
result The model shows that feedback effects can lead to multiple equilibria and amplify price informativeness.
We show that the flatness of a nonlinear discrete-time system can be checked by computing a unique sequence of involutive distributions. The well-known test for static feedback linearizability is included as a special case. Since the computation of the sequence of distributions requires only the solution of algebraic e…
Fairness in machine learning has predominantly been studied in static classification settings without concern for how decisions change the underlying population over time. Conventional wisdom suggests that fairness criteria promote the long-term well-being of those groups they aim to protect. We study how static fairne…
In this paper we experimentally analyze the convergence behavior of CoCoA and show, that the number of workers required to achieve the highest convergence rate at any point in time, changes over the course of the training. Based on this observation, we build Chicle, an elastic framework that dynamically adjusts the num…
PID control architectures are widely used in industrial applications. Despite their low number of open parameters, tuning multiple, coupled PID controllers can become tedious in practice. In this paper, we extend PILCO, a model-based policy search framework, to automatically tune multivariate PID controllers purely bas…
Advanced and effective collaborative filtering methods based on explicit feedback assume that unknown ratings do not follow the same model as the observed ones (\emph{not missing at random}). In this work, we build on this assumption, and introduce a novel dynamic matrix factorization framework that allows to set an ex…
Analysis of deep neural networks under various learning rules reveals dynamics of feature and prediction learning.
problem Understanding how different learning rules affect feature and prediction dynamics in deep neural networks.
method Analysis of infinite-width deep networks trained with gradient descent and various learning rules.
result The evolution of the output function is governed by an effective neural tangent kernel (eNTK), which varies depending on the learning rule and training regime.
We classify static manifolds which admit more than one static decomposition whenever a condition on the curvature is fullfilled. For this, we take a standard static vector field and analyze its associated one parameter family of projections onto the base. We show that the base itself is a static manifold and the warpin…

result Proves weighted geometric inequalities for static convex domains close to a slice of Nn+1.
We consider Killing vector fields on standard static space-times and obtain equations for a vector field on a standard static space-time to be Killing. We also provide a characterization of Killing vector fields on standard static space-times with compact Riemannian parts.
We consider a continuous-time financial market that consists of securities available for dynamic trading, and securities only available for static trading. We work in a robust framework where a set of non-dominated models is given. The concept of semi-static completeness is introduced: it corresponds to having exact re…
