On the Strategyproofness of the Geometric Median

Rachid Guerraoui, El Mahdi El Mhamdi, Le Nguyen Hoang, Sadegh Farhadkhani

The geometric median, an instrumental component of the secure machine learning toolbox, is known to be effective when robustly aggregating models (or gradients), gathered from potentially malicious (or strategic) users. What is less known is the extent to ...

Nothing New Under the Sun: Novelty Constructs and Measures in Social Studies

Davide Bavato

The concept of novelty is central to questions of creativity, innovation, and discovery. Despite the prominence in scientific inquiry and everyday discourse, there is a chronic ambiguity over its meaning and a surprising variety of empirical measures, whic ...

System Support for Robust Distributed Learning

Arsany Hany Abdelmessih Guirguis

Machine learning (ML) applications are ubiquitous. They run in different environments such as datacenters, the cloud, and even on edge devices. Despite where they run, distributing ML training seems the only way to attain scalable, high-quality learning. B ...

Completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Cosmological implications from two decades of spectroscopic surveys at the Apache Point Observatory

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Cheng Zhao, Anand Stéphane Raichoor, Zheng Zheng, Amélie Tamone, Andrei Variu

We present the cosmological implications from final measurements of clustering using galaxies, quasars, and Ly alpha forests from the completed Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) lineage of experiments in large-scale structure. These experiments, composed of ...

Quantifying uncertain system outputs via the multilevel Monte Carlo method — Part I: Central moment estimation

Fabio Nobile, Sebastian Krumscheid, Michele Pisaroni

In this work we introduce and analyze a novel multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) estimator for the accurate approximation of central moments of system outputs affected by uncertainties. Central moments play a central role in many disciplines to characterize a r ...

Local Vulnerabilities and Global Robustness of Coupled Dynamical Systems on Complex Networks

Melvyn Sandy Tyloo

Coupled dynamical systems are omnipresent in everyday life. In general, interactions between individual elements composing the system are captured by complex networks. The latter greatly impact the way coupled systems are functioning and evolving in time. ...

Convergence without Convexity: Sampling, Optimization, and Games

Ya-Ping Hsieh

Many important problems in contemporary machine learning involve solving highly non- convex problems in sampling, optimization, or games. The absence of convexity poses significant challenges to convergence analysis of most training algorithms, and in some ...

Generalized maximum entropy estimation

John Lygeros, Peyman Mohajerin Esfahani, Tobias Sutter

We consider the problem of estimating a probability distribution that maximizes the entropy while satisfying a finite number of moment constraints, possibly corrupted by noise. Based on duality of convex programming, we present a novel approximation scheme ...

Dimension-free Information Concentration via Exp-Concavity

Volkan Cevher, Ya-Ping Hsieh

Information concentration of probability measures have important implications in learning theory. Recently, it is discovered that the information content of a log-concave distribution concentrates around their differential entropy, albeit with an unpleasan ...

On Moments Of Twisted L-Functions

Philippe Michel

We study the average of the product of the central values of two L-functions of modular forms f and g twisted by Dirichlet characters to a large prime modulus q. As our principal tools, we use spectral theory to develop bounds on averages of shifted convol ...

Evaluation of the shape deviation of non rigid parts from optical measurements

Loïc Andolfatto

This paper deals with an approach to identify geometrical deviations of flexible parts from optical measurements. Each step of the approach defines a specific issue which we try to respond to. The problem of measurement uncertainties is solved using an ori ...

Function Computation over Networks : Efficient Information Processing for Cache and Sensor Applications

Chien-Yi Wang

This thesis looks at efficient information processing for two network applications: content delivery with caching and collecting summary statistics in wireless sensor networks. Both applications are studied under the same paradigm: function computation ove ...

Computation Over Gaussian Networks With Orthogonal Components

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Chien-Yi Wang

Function computation over Gaussian networks with orthogonal components is studied for arbitrarily correlated discrete memoryless sources. Two classes of functions are considered: 1) the arithmetic sum function and 2) the type function. The arithmetic sum f ...

On the DCJ Median Problem

Bernard Moret, Mingfu Shao

As many whole genomes are sequenced, comparative genomics is moving from pairwise comparisons to multiway comparisons framed within a phylogenetic tree. A central problem in this process is the inference of data for internal nodes of the tree from data giv ...

Lensed Type Ia supernovae as probes of cluster mass models

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Hakim Atek

Using three magnified Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) detected behind CLASH (Cluster Lensing and Supernovae with Hubble) clusters, we perform a first pilot study to see whether standardizable candles can be used to calibrate cluster mass maps created from stro ...

Stable averages of central values of Rankin-Selberg L-functions: Some new variants

Paul David Nelson

As shown by Michel and Ramakrishnan (2007) and later generalized by Feigon and Whitehouse (2008), there are "stable" formulas for the average central L-value of the Rankin-Selberg convolutions of some holomorphic forms of fixed even weight and large level ...

Search for double charmonium decays of the P-wave spin-triplet bottomonium states

Olivier Schneider, Chao Wang, Jun Yong Kim, Remi Léandre Albert Louvot

Using a sample of 158 x 10(6) Y(2S) events collected with the Belle detector, we search for the first time for double-charmonium decays of the P-wave spin-triplet bottomonium states (Y(2S) -> gamma chi(bJ), chi(bJ) -> J/psi J/psi, J/psi psi', psi'psi' for ...

Signatures of sea level changes on tidal geomorphology: Experiments on network incision and retreat

How do tidal networks respond to changes in relative mean sea level (RMSL)? The question on whether the morphological features of a tidal landscape retain signatures of past environmental forcings, or are in equilibrium with current ones, is critical to ou ...
