Learning curves for the multi-class teacher-student perceptron

Lenka Zdeborová, Bruno Loureiro, Elisabetta Cornacchia, Bruno Loureiro, Francesca Mignacco

One of the most classical results in high-dimensional learning theory provides a closed-form expression for the generalisation error of binary classification with a single-layer teacher-student perceptron on i.i.d. Gaussian inputs. Both Bayes-optimal (BO) ...

Emergence of Classical Magnetic Order from Anderson Towers: Quantum Darwinism in Action

Frédéric Mila

Environment is assumed to play a negative role in quantum mechanics, destroying the coherence in a quantum system and, thus, randomly changing its state. However, for a quantum system that is initially in a degenerate ground state, the situation could be d ...

On the commutativity of flows of rough vector fields

Maria Colombo, Riccardo Tione

In the class of Sobolev vector fields in R-n of bounded divergence, for which the theory of DiPerna and Lions provides a well defined notion of flow, we characterize the vector fields whose flow commutes in terms of the Lie bracket and of a regularity cond ...

Exploring the foundations of tonality: statistical cognitive modeling of modes in the history of Western classical music

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Fabian Claude Moss, Daniel Harasim

Tonality is one of the most central theoretical concepts for the analysis of Western classical music. This study presents a novel approach for the study of its historical development, exploring in particular the concept of mode. Based on a large dataset of ...

The Annotated Mozart Sonatas: Score, Harmony, and Cadence

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Markus Franz Josef Neuwirth, Johannes Hentschel

This article describes a new expert-labelled dataset featuring harmonic, phrase, and cadence analyses of all piano sonatas by W.A. Mozart. The dataset draws on the DCML standard for harmonic annotation and is being published adopting the FAIR principles of ...

SPHARMA approximations for stationary functional time series on the sphere

Alessia Caponera

In this paper, we focus on isotropic and stationary sphere-cross-time random fields. We first introduce the class of spherical functional autoregressive-moving average processes (SPHARMA), which extend in a natural way the spherical functional autoregressi ...

In vitro investigations of red blood cell phase separation in a complex microchannel network

Francesco Clavica

Microvascular networks feature a complex topology with multiple bifurcating vessels. Nonuniform partitioning (phase separation) of red blood cells (RBCs) occurs at diverging bifurcations, leading to a heterogeneous RBC distribution that ultimately affects ...

Bridging the Gap between Semantics and Multimedia Processing

Roberto Gerson De Albuquerque Azevedo

In this paper, we overview the semantic gap problem in multimedia and discuss how machine learning and symbolic AI can be combined to narrow this gap. We describe the semantic gap in terms of a classical architecture for multimedia processing and discuss a ...

Hydraulic Jump Downstream of a Stepped Chute: An Experimental Study

Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos, Ivan Stojnic

The number of stepped spillways significantly increased in the past decades. Among other reasons, this is due to their energy dissipation potential leading to a reduction of the residual energy at the toe of the spillway. To date, only fragmentary designed ...

Hasse principles for multinorm equations

Eva Bayer Fluckiger, Ting-Yu Lee

A classical result of Hasse states that the norm principle holds for finite cyclic extensions of global fields, in other words local norms are global norms. We investigate the norm principle for finite dimensional commutative kale algebras over global fiel ...

On Sets Defining Few Ordinary Circles

Frank de Zeeuw

An ordinary circle of a set P of n points in the plane is defined as a circle that contains exactly three points of P. We show that if P is not contained in a line or a circle, then P spans at least ordinary circles. Moreover, we determine the exact minimu ...

A High-performance FPGA Architecture Using One-Level RRAM-based Multiplexers

Giovanni De Micheli, Xifan Tang, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon

Resistive Random Access Memory (RRAM)-based routing multiplexers, built using a one-level structure, are significantly more delay efficient than state-of-art SRAM-based implementations thanks to their lower achievable on-state resistance. In addition, the ...

Optimization Opportunities in RRAM-based FPGA Architectures

Giovanni De Micheli, Xifan Tang, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon

Static Random Access Memory (SRAM)-based routing multiplexers, whatever structure is employed, share a common limitation: their area, delay and power increase linearly with the input size. This property results in most SRAM-based FPGA architectures ...

Graph-based Isometry Invariant Representation Learning

Pascal Frossard, Renata Khasanova

Learning transformation invariant representations of visual data is an important problem in computer vision. Deep convolutional networks have demonstrated remarkable results for image and video classification tasks. However, they have achieved only limited ...

Classical Force Fields Tailored for QM Applications: Is It Really a Feasible Strategy?

Oliviero Andreussi

Classical molecular dynamics is more and more often coupled to quantum mechanical based techniques as a statistical tool to sample configurations of molecular systems embedded in complex environments. Nonetheless, the classical potentials describing the mo ...

Parameterized Systems in BIP: Design and Model Checking

Joseph Sifakis, Simon Bliudze, Qiang Wang

BIP is a component-based framework for system design that has important industrial applications. BIP is built on three pillars: behavior, interaction, and priority. In this paper, we introduce first-order interaction logic (FOIL) that extends BIP to system ...

Open-ended response theory with polarizable embedding: multiphoton absorption in biomolecular systems

We present the theory and implementation of an open-ended framework for electric response properties at the level of Hartree-Fock and Kohn-Sham density functional theory that includes effects from the molecular environment modeled by the polarizable embedd ...

A view on global urbanization : spatial networks, urban scaling and remote sensing

Emanuele Strano

It is widely recognized that global urbanization is one the most urgent issue of our time. Any problem related to global issues, such as climate change, social and environmental sustainability and the future of our society, is somehow related to cities and ...

Effect of metal cation replacement on the electronic structure of metalorganic halide perovskites: Replacement of lead with alkaline-earth metals

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Tor Jesper Jacobsson

Organic and inorganic lead halogen perovskites, and in particular, CH3NH3PbI3, have during the last years emerged as a class of highly efficient solar cell materials. Herein we introduce metalorganic halogen perovskite materials for energy-relevant applica ...
