Efficient and Accurate Handling of Periodic Flows in Time-Sensitive Networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Seyed Mohammadhossein Tabatabaee

Total Flow Analysis (TFA) is a method for the worst-case analysis of time-sensitive networks. It uses service curve characterizations of the network nodes and arrival curves of flows at their sources; for tractability, the latter are often taken to be line ...

Failure and success of the spectral bias prediction for Laplace Kernel Ridge Regression: the case of low-dimensional data

Matthieu Wyart, Umberto Maria Tomasini, Antonio Sclocchi

Recently, several theories including the replica method made predictions for the generalization error of Kernel Ridge Regression. In some regimes, they predict that the method has a 'spectral bias': decomposing the true function f* on the eigenbasis of the ...
