We develop a theory of `non-uniformly local' tent spaces on metric measure spaces. As our main result, we give a remarkably simple proof of the atomic decomposition.

This paper investigates the ability of generative networks to convert their input noise distributions into other distributions. Firstly, we demonstrate a construction that allows ReLU networks to increase the dimensionality of their noise distribution by implementing a "space-filling" function based on iterated tent ma…

By using numerical simulation, we confirm that Takayasu--Sato--Takayasu (TST) model which leads Pareto's law satisfies the detailed balance under Gibrat's law. In the simulation, we take an exponential tent-shaped function as the growth rate distribution. We also numerically confirm the reflection law equivalent to the…

The abstract discusses how Kähler-Einstein metrics relate to algebraic geometry.

result Proposes tentative conjectural pictures connecting Kähler-Einstein metrics and algebraic geometry.

In relation to the 4-dimensional smooth Poincaré conjecture we construct a tentative invariant of homotopy 4-spheres using embedded contact homology (ECH) and Seiberg-Witten theory (SWF). But for good reason it is a constant value independent of the sphere, so this null-result demonstrates that one should not try to us…

Observational data hints at a finite universe, with spherical manifolds such as the Poincare dodecahedral space tentatively providing the best fit. Simulating the physics of a model universe requires knowing the eigenmodes of the Laplace operator on the space. The present article provides explicit polynomial eigenmodes…

We release a realistic, diverse, and challenging dataset for object detection on images. The data was recorded at a beer tent in Germany and consists of 15 different categories of food and drink items. We created more than 2,500 object annotations by hand for 1,110 images captured by a video camera above the checkout. …

We establish basic geometric and topological properties of Thurston's Master Teapot and the Thurston set for superattracting unimodal self-maps of intervals. In particular, the Master Teapot is connected, contains the unit cylinder, and its intersection with a set D×{c}\mathbb{D} \times \{c\} grows monotonically with cc.…

We introduce a concept of tree-graded metric space and we use it to show quasi-isometry invariance of certain classes of relatively hyperbolic groups, to obtain a characterization of relatively hyperbolic groups in terms of their asymptotic cones, to find geometric properties of Cayley graphs of relatively hyperbolic g…

We propose coalescent mechanism of economic grow because of redistribution of external resources. It leads to Zipf distribution of firms over their sizes, turning to stretched exponent because of size-dependent effects, and predicts exponential distribution of income between individuals. We also present new approach to…

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are known for their vulnerability to adversarial examples. These are examples that have undergone small, carefully crafted perturbations, and which can easily fool a DNN into making misclassifications at test time. Thus far, the field of adversarial research has mainly focused on image model…

We introduce a simple agent-based model which allows us to analyze three stylized facts: a fat-tailed size distribution of companies, a `tent-shaped' growth rate distribution, the scaling relation of the growth rate variance with firm size, and the causality between them. This is achieved under the simple hypothesis th…

We analyze a monetary system of random money transfer on the basis of double entry bookkeeping. Without boundary conditions, we do not reach a price equilibrium and violate text-book formulas of economists quantity theory (MV=PQ). To match the resulting quantity of money with the model assumption of a constant price, w…

Matrix completion is one of the key problems in signal processing and machine learning, with applications ranging from image pro- cessing and data gathering to classification and recommender sys- tems. Recently, deep neural networks have been proposed as la- tent factor models for matrix completion and have achieved st…

A novel framework infers causal direction from symbolic sequences using pattern entropy.

result Minimizing pattern level uncertainty yields a robust framework for causal discovery.

Learning, taking into account full distribution of the data, referred to as generative, is not feasible with deep neural networks (DNNs) because they model only the conditional distribution of the outputs given the inputs. Current solutions are either based on joint probability models facing difficult estimation proble…

DI-sNMF uses data imputation to separate circumstellar signals in high contrast imaging.

problem Separating circumstellar signals from non-circumstellar signals in high contrast imaging.
method DI-sNMF converts the signal separation problem into a missing data problem, using non-negative matrix factorization to attribute PSF signals to regions flagged as missing data.
result DI-sNMF can precisely measure circumstellar objects without altering them, as shown in simulations and real GPI observations.

Investigates ways to train larger models with fewer resources, finding that test loss depends only on the actual number of trainable parameters.

method Emulates an increase in effective parameters using frozen random parameters or fast structured transforms.
result Scaling laws cannot be deceived by spurious parameters; test loss depends only on the actual number of trainable parameters.

We start recalling with critical eyes the mathematical methods used in gauge theory and prove that they are not coherent with continuum mechanics, in particular the analytical mechanics of rigid bodies or hydrodynamics, though using the same group theoretical methods and despite the well known couplings existing betwee…

In this paper, we study the trainability of rectified linear unit (ReLU) networks. A ReLU neuron is said to be dead if it only outputs a constant for any input. Two death states of neurons are introduced; tentative and permanent death. A network is then said to be trainable if the number of permanently dead neurons is …

In this note we sketch an initial tentative approach to funding costs analysis and management for contracts with bilateral counterparty risk in a simplified setting.

In his study of Dirac structures, a notion which includes both Poisson structures and closed 2-forms, T. Courant introduced a bracket on the direct sum of vector fields and 1-forms. This bracket does not satisfy the Jacobi identity except on certain subspaces. In this paper we systematize the properties of this bracket…
