New metric properties show volume constraints in collapsing spaces.
problem Volume constraints in collapsing spaces.
method Generalization of recent progress in metric geometry involving the volume of balls of radius in a certain range with collapsing at different scales.
result For every Riemannian metric on a manifold of sufficiently small volume, there is a point with volume constraints in the universal cover.
Improves matrix multiplication throughput for asymmetric bit-width operands.
problem Matrix multiplications between asymmetric bit-width operands, especially 8- and 4-bit, are not efficiently handled by existing SIMD instructions.
method Proposes a new SIMD matrix multiplication instruction that uses mixed precision on inputs (8- and 4-bit) and accumulates into 16-bit output, improving throughput.
result Offers 2x improvement in throughput compared to existing symmetric-operand-size instructions, with negligible overflow.
A remarkable characteristic of overparameterized deep neural networks (DNNs) is that their accuracy does not degrade when the network's width is increased. Recent evidence suggests that developing compressible representations is key for adjusting the complexity of large networks to the learning task at hand. However, t…

The width w of a curve γ in Euclidean space Rn is the infimum of the distances between all pairs of parallel hyperplanes which bound γ, while its inradius r is the supremum of the radii of all spheres which are contained in the convex hull of γ and are disjoint from γ. We use a mixture of topological and…

A number of results for C2-smooth surfaces of constant width in Euclidean 3-space E3 are obtained. In particular, an integral inequality for constant width surfaces is established. This is used to prove that the ratio of volume to cubed width of a constant width surface is reduced by shrinking it along…
While studying the existence of closed geodesics and minimal hypersurfaces in compact manifolds, the concept of width was introduced in different contexts. Generally, the width is realized by the energy of the closed geodesics or the volume of minimal hypersurfaces, which are found by the Minimax argument. Recently, Ma…
In "Width complexes for knots and 3-manifolds," Jennifer Schultens defines the width complex for a knot in order to understand the different positions a knot can occupy in the 3-sphere and the isotopies between these positions. She poses several questions about these width complexes; in particular, she asks whether the…
In this paper, we present a unified analysis of matrix completion under general low-dimensional structural constraints induced by {\em any} norm regularization. We consider two estimators for the general problem of structured matrix completion, and provide unified upper bounds on the sample complexity and the estimatio…
We prove that among all constant width bodies of revolution, the minimum of the ratio of the volume to the cubed width is attained by the constant width body obtained by rotation of the Reuleaux triangle about an axis of symmetry.
