We develop differential algebraic K-theory for rings of integers in number fields and we construct a cycle map from geometrized bundles of modules over such a ring to the differential algebraic K-theory. We also treat some of the foundational aspects of differential cohomology, including differential function spectra a…
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…
Learning transferable knowledge across similar but different settings is a fundamental component of generalized intelligence. In this paper, we approach the transfer learning challenge from a causal theory perspective. Our agent is endowed with two basic yet general theories for transfer learning: (i) a task shares a c…
Much attention has been devoted recently to the generalization puzzle in deep learning: large, deep networks can generalize well, but existing theories bounding generalization error are exceedingly loose, and thus cannot explain this striking performance. Furthermore, a major hope is that knowledge may transfer across …
We propose a general notion of algebraic gauge theory obtained via extracting the main properties of classical gauge theory. Building on a recent work on transferring curved A∞-structures we show that, under certain technical conditions, algebraic gauge theories can be transferred along chain contractions. Sp…
A new framework for robust transfer learning that avoids negative transfer in domains with unequal information.
problem Negative transfer in unsupervised domain adaptation, especially when source and target domains have different levels of informativeness.
method Decision-theoretic framework based on Le Cam's theory of statistical experiments, using constructive approximations to replace strict invariance with directional simulability.
result Le Cam Distortion achieves near-perfect frequency estimation and zero source utility loss in various domains, demonstrating superior performance compared to traditional methods.
Transfer learning has been proven effective when within-target labeled data is scarce. A lot of works have developed successful algorithms and empirically observed positive transfer effect that improves target generalization error using source knowledge. However, theoretical analysis of transfer learning is more challe…
Transfer learning is a very important tool in deep learning as it allows propagating information from one "source dataset" to another "target dataset", especially in the case of a small number of training examples in the latter. Yet, discrepancies between the underlying distributions of the source and target data are c…
A Systemic Optimal Risk Transfer Equilibrium (SORTE) was introduced in: "Systemic optimal risk transfer equilibrium", Mathematics and Financial Economics (2021), for the analysis of the equilibrium among financial institutions or in insurance-reinsurance markets. A SORTE conjugates the classical Bühlmann's notion of a …
Transfer learning is a popular practice in deep neural networks, but fine-tuning of large number of parameters is a hard task due to the complex wiring of neurons between splitting layers and imbalance distributions of data in pretrained and transferred domains. The reconstruction of the original wiring for the target …
We prove the Farrell-Jones Conjecture for algebraic K-theory of spaces for virtually poly-Z-groups. For this, we transfer the 'Farrell-Hsiang method' from the linear case to categories of equivariant, controlled retractive spaces.
We construct Hodge filtered cohomology groups for complex manifolds that combine the topological information of generalized cohomology theories with geometric data of Hodge filtered holomorphic forms. This theory provides a natural generalization of Deligne cohomology. For smooth complex algebraic varieties, we show th…
Understanding the relationship between the structure of light-harvesting systems and their excitation energy transfer properties is of fundamental importance in many applications including the development of next generation photovoltaics. Natural light harvesting in photosynthesis shows remarkable excitation energy tra…
