Let CC be an algebraic curve of genus gg. A coherent system on CC consists of a pair (E,V)(E,V), where EE is an algebraic vector bundle over CC of rank nn and degree dd and VV is a subspace of dimension kk of the space of sections of EE. The stability of the coherent system depends on a parameter αα. We study t…

The Pachinko Allocation Machine (PAM) is a deep topic model that allows representing rich correlation structures among topics by a directed acyclic graph over topics. Because of the flexibility of the model, however, approximate inference is very difficult. Perhaps for this reason, only a small number of potential PAM …

Mean Field Variational Bayes (MFVB) is a popular posterior approximation method due to its fast runtime on large-scale data sets. However, it is well known that a major failing of MFVB is its (sometimes severe) underestimates of the uncertainty of model variables and lack of information about model variable covariance.…

Variance-Calibrated Modulation (VCM) addresses the likelihood trap in LLMs by reshaping the probability distribution before truncation.

problem LLMs fall into the likelihood trap, leading to repetitive degeneration and vocabulary dullness.

result VCM mitigates the likelihood trap across open-ended generation, factual QA, and mathematical reasoning.

We consider Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs) as the boundaries of material subsets whose advective evolution is metastable under weak diffusion. For their detection, we first transform the Eulerian advection-diffusion equation to Lagrangian coordinates, in which it takes the form of a time-dependent diffusion or h…
