On the number of regions of piecewise linear neural networks

Michaël Unser, Alexis Marie Frederic Goujon

Many feedforward neural networks (NNs) generate continuous and piecewise-linear (CPWL) mappings. Specifically, they partition the input domain into regions on which the mapping is affine. The number of these so-called linear regions offers a natural metric ...

Improving SAM Requires Rethinking its Optimization Formulation

Volkan Cevher, Kimon Antonakopoulos, Fabian Ricardo Latorre Gomez, Thomas Michaelsen Pethick, Wanyun Xie

This paper rethinks Sharpness-Aware Minimization (SAM), which is originally formulated as a zero-sum game where the weights of a network and a bounded perturbation try to minimize/maximize, respectively, the same differentiable loss. We argue that SAM shou ...

Peak Value-at-Risk Estimation for Stochastic Differential Equations using Occupation Measures

Matteo Raphael Tacchi

This paper proposes an algorithm to upper-bound maximal quantile statistics of a state function over the course of a Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE) system execution. This chance-peak problem is posed as a nonconvex program aiming to maximize the Va ...

Time vs. Truth: Age-Distortion Tradeoffs and Strategies for Distributed Inference

Yunus Inan

In 1948, Claude Shannon laid the foundations of information theory, which grew out of a study to find the ultimate limits of source compression, and of reliable communication. Since then, information theory has proved itself not only as a quest to find the ...

Predicting the stressed expected loss of large US banks

Amir Hossein Khalilzadeh Naghneh, Eric Jondeau

We develop a methodology to measure the expected loss of commercial banks in a market downturn, which we call stressed expected loss (SEL). We simulate a market downturn as a negative shock on interest rate and credit market risk factors that reflect the b ...

Finite-Level Quantization Procedures for Construction and Decoding of Polar Codes

Emre Telatar, Yunus Inan

We consider finite-level, symmetric quantization procedures for construction and decoding of polar codes. Whether polarization occurs in the presence of quantization is not known in general. In [1], it is shown that a simple three-level quantization proced ...

Gaussian channel transmission of images and audio files using cryptcoding

Random codes based on quasigroups (RCBQ) are cryptcodes, i.e. they are error-correcting codes, which provide information security. Cut-Decoding and 4-Sets-Cut-Decoding algorithms for these codes are defined elsewhere. Also, the performance of these codes f ...

Forbidden induced subposets of given height

Istvan Tomon

Let P be a partially ordered set. The function La* (n, P) denotes the size of the largest family F subset of 2([n]) that does not contain an induced copy of P. It was proved by Methuku and Palvolgyi that there exists a constant C-P (depending only on P) su ...

On the Tradeoff Between Accuracy and Complexity in Blind Detection of Polar Codes

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Pascal Giard

Polar codes are a recent family of error-correcting codes with a number of desirable characteristics. Their disruptive nature is illustrated by their rapid adoption in the 5 th-generation mobile-communication standard, where they are used to protect contro ...

PDE-Constrained Optimal Control Problems with Uncertain Parameters using SAGA

Fabio Nobile, Matthieu Claude Martin

We consider an optimal control problem (OCP) for a partial differential equation (PDE) with random coefficients. The optimal control function is a deterministic, distributed forcing term that minimizes an expected quadratic regularized loss functional. For ...

Rich Vehicle and Inventory Routing Problems with Stochastic Demands

Iliya Dimitrov Markov

This thesis develops a unified framework for modeling and solving various classes of rich routing problems with stochastic demands, including the VRP and the IRP. The work is inspired by the problem of collecting recyclables from sensorized containers in G ...

A feasible-side globally convergent modifier-adaptation scheme

Dominique Bonvin, Timm Faulwasser, Alejandro Gabriel Marchetti

In the context of static real-time optimization (RTO) of uncertain plants, the standard modifier-adaptation scheme consists in adding first-order correction terms to the cost and constraint functions of a model based optimization problem. If the algorithm ...

Comparison of Polar Decoders with Existing Low-Density Parity-Check and Turbo Decoders

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Pascal Giard

Polar codes are a recently proposed family of provably capacity-achieving error-correction codes that received a lot of attention. While their theoretical properties render them interesting, their practicality compared to other types of codes has not been ...

A Cache-Assisted Scratchpad Memory for Multiple-Bit-Error Correction

Nooshin Sadat Mirzadeh

Scratchpad memory (SPM) is widely used in modern embedded processors to overcome the limitations of cache memory. The high vulnerability of SPM to soft errors, however, limits its usage in safety-critical applications. This paper proposes an efficient faul ...

Lyapunov Exponents for Branching Processes in a Random Environment: The Effect of Information

Sophie Myriam Hautphenne

We consider multitype branching processes evolving in a Markovian random environment. To determine whether or not the branching process becomes extinct almost surely is akin to computing the maximal Lyapunov exponent of a sequence of random matrices, which ...
