Enhances thematic investing with stock embeddings from textual data.

problem Challenges in constructing thematic portfolios due to overlapping sector boundaries and evolving market dynamics.
method Introduces THEME, a framework that fine-tunes embeddings using hierarchical contrastive learning, aligning themes and stocks using their hierarchical relationship and incorporating stock returns.
result Theme-aligned portfolios demonstrate compelling performance, significantly outperforming large language models in thematic asset retrieval.

We study and provide exposition to several phenomena that are related to the perceptron's compression. One theme concerns modifications of the perceptron algorithm that yield better guarantees on the margin of the hyperplane it outputs. These modifications can be useful in training neural networks as well, and we demon…

Paper proposes new principles and framework for AVC learning from user-generated videos.

problem Challenges in learning audio-visual correspondence from short-term user-generated videos.
method Introduced new principles and a framework to facilitate AVC learning from videos' themes.
result Proposed approach outperformed baseline by 23.15% on KWAI-AD-AudVis corpus.

There are two themes in the present paper. The first one is spelled out in the title, and is inspired by an attempt to find an analogue of Hersch-Yang-Yau estimate for lambda1lambda_1 of surfaces in symplectic category. In particular we prove that every split symplectic manifold T4timesMT^4 times M admits a compatible Riemannian …

This paper tackles sequential distribution shifts in representation learning.

problem Learning meaningful representations in a sequence of distribution shifts.
method Nonlinear Independent Component Analysis (ICA) framework for continual causal representation learning.
result The method achieves performance comparable to joint training on multiple offline distributions and shows no benefit from the incoming new distribution on all latent variables.

The abstract discusses parallels between Galois theory and Stone-Weierstrass theorem in various fields.

problem Connecting distinguishing power and expressive power in different fields.
method Elementary theorem connecting distinguishing power and expressive power.
result Foundational principle in linguistics linking distinguishing power and expressive power.

Mixed data comprises both numeric and categorical features, and mixed datasets occur frequently in many domains, such as health, finance, and marketing. Clustering is often applied to mixed datasets to find structures and to group similar objects for further analysis. However, clustering mixed data is challenging becau…

In this survey article we review several results on the curvature of semi-Riemannian metrics which are motivated by the positive mass theorem. The main themes are estimates of the Riemann tensor of an asymptotically flat manifold and the construction of Lorentzian metrics which satisfy the dominant energy condition.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss how topology and geometry provide, in many instances, the connective tissue that enables logical comprehension. We illustrate this theme with many examples including Venn diagrams, knot diagrams, knot-logical diagrams and an arrow of reference that elucidates self-reference and G…

The paper classifies holomorphic maps between Riemann surface configuration spaces.

problem Classifying holomorphic maps between configuration spaces of Riemann surfaces.
method Group-theoretic rigidity results promoted to the space level.
result Complete classifications of holomorphic maps between configuration spaces of Riemann surfaces.

We study the connections between subsurface projections in curve and arc complexes in fibered 3-manifolds and Agol's veering triangulation. The main theme is that large-distance subsurfaces in fibers are associated to large simplicial regions in the veering triangulation, and this correspondence holds uniformly for all…

The theme of this survey is that subgroups of the mapping class group of a finite type surface S can be studied via the geometric/dynamical properties of their action on the Thurston compactification of the Teichmuller space of S, just as discrete subgroups of the isometries of hyperbolic space can be studied via their…

Integrates multiple datasets to solve open set crowdsourcing problems.

problem Crowdsourcing with unknown label space and unfamiliar tasks.
method Integrates multiple crowdsourced datasets, weights them based on category correlation, and uses open set transfer learning.
result Proves OSCrowd solves open set crowdsourcing problems and outperforms related solutions.

We develop the structure theory of full isometry groups of locally compact non-positively curved metric spaces. Amongst the discussed themes are de Rham decompositions, normal subgroup structure and characterising properties of symmetric spaces and Bruhat--Tits buildings. Applications to discrete groups and further dev…

We give an overview of various recent results concerning the topology of symplectic 4-manifolds and singular plane curves, using branched covers and isotopy problems as a unifying theme. While this paper does not contain any new results, we hope that it can serve as an introduction to the subject, and will stimulate in…

An interesting theme in complex differential geometry is to find a correspondence between algebraic objects and differential geometric objects. One of the most attractive is the non-abelian Hodge theory of Simpson. In this paper, pursuing an analogue of the non-abelian Hodge theory in the context of qq-difference modu…

This review explores ML in predicting team sport outcomes, identifying successful strategies and themes.

problem Predicting outcomes in team sports using machine learning.
method Survey of studies from 1996 to 2019, analyzing ML algorithms and their accuracies.
result Identifies common themes and strategies for future research in predicting team sport outcomes.

The second author previously discussed how classical complexity separation conjectures, we call them "axioms", have implications in three manifold topology: polynomial length stings of operations which preserve certain Jones polynomial evaluations cannot produce exponential simplifications of link diagrams. In this pap…

Paper explores using EEG for better speaker identification, even in noisy environments.

problem Speaker identification performance degrades in background noise.
method Uses EEG signals to enhance speaker identification systems, comparing with acoustic features.
result Speaker identification system using only EEG features outperforms one using only acoustic features in high background noise.

We discuss social network analysis from the perspective of economics. We organize the presentaion around the theme of externalities: the effects that one's behavior has on others' well-being. Externalities underlie the interdependencies that make networks interesting. We discuss network formation, as well as interactio…

Variational inference is a powerful concept that underlies many iterative approximation algorithms; expectation propagation, mean-field methods and belief propagations were all central themes at the school that can be perceived from this unifying framework.

Artificial neural networks are simple and efficient machine learning tools. Defined originally in the traditional setting of simple vector data, neural network models have evolved to address more and more difficulties of complex real world problems, ranging from time evolving data to sophisticated data structures such …

We discuss recent results and open questions on the broad theme of (Nielsen) realization problems. Beyond realizing subgroups of mapping class groups, there are many other natural instances where one can ask if a surjection from a group of diffeomorphisms of a manifold to another group admits a section over particular …

Inverse problems and regularization theory is a central theme in contemporary signal processing, where the goal is to reconstruct an unknown signal from partial indirect, and possibly noisy, measurements of it. A now standard method for recovering the unknown signal is to solve a convex optimization problem that enforc…
