Beyond Spectral Gap: The Role of the Topology in Decentralized Learning

Martin Jaggi, Thijs Vogels, Hadrien Hendrikx

In data-parallel optimization of machine learning models, workers collaborate to improve their estimates of the model: more accurate gradients allow them to use larger learning rates and optimize faster. In the decentralized setting, in which workers commu ...

Multi-agent reinforcement learning with graph convolutional neural networks for optimal bidding strategies of generation units in electricity markets

Olga Fink, Mina Montazeri

Finding optimal bidding strategies for generation units in electricity markets would result in higher profit. However, it is a challenging problem due to the system uncertainty which is due to the lack of knowledge of the strategies of other generation uni ...

Targeted regeneration of spinal cord neurons across a complete injury restores walking

Marco Milano

Spinal cord injury (SCI) interrupts axonal connections between the brain and the spinal cord, and is characterized by a spectrum of sensorimotor and autonomic impairments. While spontaneous recovery is limited, recent studies have shown that functional imp ...

Connecting Hodge and Sakaguchi-Kuramoto through a mathematical framework for coupled oscillators on simplicial complexes

Alexis Arnaudon

Phase synchronizations in models of coupled oscillators such as the Kuramoto model have been widely studied with pairwise couplings on arbitrary topologies, showing many unexpected dynamical behaviors. Here, based on a recent formulation the Kuramoto model ...

D-Cliques: Compensating for Data Heterogeneity with Topology in Decentralized Federated Learning

Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Erick Lavoie

The convergence speed of machine learning models trained with Federated Learning is significantly affected by non-independent and identically distributed (non-IID) data partitions, even more so in a fully decentralized setting without a central server. In ...

A Modular Multilevel Converter with a Clamping Switch for Quasi-Three-Level Operation

Jakub Kucka

The required module capacitances of modular multilevel converters can be significantly reduced in comparison to conventional operation modes when quasi-two-level operation is applied. Unfortunately, the output voltage distortion becomes similar to those of ...

Atomic subgraphs and the statistical mechanics of networks

Sofia Charlotta Olhede

We develop random graph models where graphs are generated by connecting not only pairs of vertices by edges, but also larger subsets of vertices by copies of small atomic subgraphs of arbitrary topology. This allows for the generation of graphs with extens ...

iPool--Information-Based Pooling in Hierarchical Graph Neural Networks

Pascal Frossard, Chenglin Li, Xing Gao

With the advent of data science, the analysis of network or graph data has become a very timely research problem. A variety of recent works have been proposed to generalize neural networks to graphs, either from a spectral graph theory or a spatial perspec ...

Experimental studies of the equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium electronic structure of non-symmorphic topological materials

Gianmarco Gatti

Symmetry and topology are fundamental properties of nature. Mathematics provides us with a general framework to understand these concepts. On one side, symmetry describes the invariance properties of an object for specific transformations. On the other sid ...

Percolation and Internet Science

Emanuele Massaro

Percolation, in its most general interpretation, refers to the “flow” of something (a physical agent, data or information) in a network, possibly accompanied by some nonlinear dynamical processes on the network nodes (sometimes denoted reaction–diffusion s ...

Robust optimization of power grid with distributed generation and improved reliability

Amarasinghage Tharindu Dasun Perera, Zhengchao Wang

Uncertainties of demand, generation and component outage can lead to black-outs in the grid. This study proposes an optimization algorithm (based on Benders Decomposition (BD)) to optimize a Power Transmission System (PTS) that is robust to aforementioned ...

Learning Approach to Delineation of Curvilinear Structures in 2D and 3D Images

Agata Justyna Mosinska

Detection of curvilinear structures has long been of interest due to its wide range of applications. Large amounts of imaging data could be readily used in many fields, but it is practically not possible to analyze them manually. Hence, the need for automa ...

Coevolution of Synchronization and Cooperation in Costly Networked Interactions

Alessio Vincenzo Cardillo, Alberto Antonioni

Despite the large number of studies on synchronization, the hypothesis that interactions bear a cost for involved individuals has seldom been considered. The introduction of costly interactions leads, instead, to the formulation of a dichotomous scenario i ...
