Interpolation and Quantifiers in Ortholattices

Viktor Kuncak, Simon Guilloud, Sankalp Gambhir

We study quantifiers and interpolation properties in orthologic, a non-distributive weakening of classical logic that is sound for formula validity with respect to classical logic, yet has a quadratic-time decision procedure. We present a sequent-based pro ...

Interpolation and Quantifiers in Ortholattices

Viktor Kuncak, Simon Guilloud, Sankalp Gambhir

We study quantifiers and interpolation properties in ortho- logic, a non-distributive weakening of classical logic that is sound for formula validity with respect to classical logic, yet has a quadratic-time decision procedure. We present a sequent-based p ...

Encoding quantum-chemical knowledge into machine-learning models of complex molecular properties

Ksenia Briling

Statistical (machine-learning, ML) models are more and more often used in computational chemistry as a substitute to more expensive ab initio and parametrizable methods. While the ML algorithms are capable of learning physical laws implicitly from data, ad ...

Analysis of accretion disc structure and stability using open code for vertical structure

Pascale Jablonka

Detailed chemical abundances of very metal-poor (VMP; [Fe/H] < -2) stars are important for better understanding the first stars, early star formation, and chemical enrichment of galaxies. Big on-going and coming high-resolution spectroscopic surveys provid ...

Benign Overfitting in Deep Neural Networks under Lazy Training

Volkan Cevher, Zhenyu Zhu, Grigorios Chrysos, Fanghui Liu

This paper focuses on over-parameterized deep neural networks (DNNs) with ReLU activation functions and proves that when the data distribution is well-separated, DNNs can achieve Bayesoptimal test error for classification while obtaining (nearly) zero-trai ...

Retraction-based numerical methods for continuation, interpolation and time integration on manifolds

Axel Elie Joseph Séguin

The goal of this thesis is the development and the analysis of numerical methods for problems where the unknown is a curve on a smooth manifold. In particular, the thesis is structured around the three following problems: homotopy continuation, curve inter ...

Stable Nonconvex-Nonconcave Training via Linear Interpolation

Volkan Cevher, Thomas Michaelsen Pethick, Wanyun Xie

This paper presents a theoretical analysis of linear interpolation as a principled method for stabilizing (large-scale) neural network training. We argue that instabilities in the optimization process are often caused by the nonmonotonicity of the loss lan ...

Understanding JET-C quiescent phases with edge harmonic magnetohydrodynamic activity and comparison with behaviour under ITER-like wall conditioning

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Jonathan Graves, Daniele Brunetti, Andreas Kleiner, Alberto Mariani, Guillermo Bustos Ramirez

An analysis of edge localised mode-free (quiescent) H-mode discharges exhibiting edge harmonic magnetoydrodynamic activity in the JET-carbon wall machine is presented. It is observed that the otherwise quiescent pulses with multiple-n harmonic oscillations ...

Choreography Controlled (ChoCo) brain MRI artifact generation for labeled motion-corrupted datasets

Bastien Chopard, Michel Kocher, François Lazeyras, Sébastien Courvoisier, Julien Songeon

MRI is a non-invasive medical imaging modality that is sensitive to patient motion, which constitutes a major limitation in most clinical applications. Solutions may arise from the reduction of acquisition times or from motion-correction techniques, either ...

On Linear Interpolation in the Latent Space of Deep Generative Models

Quentin Christian Becker, Mike Yan Michelis

The underlying geometrical structure of the latent space in deep generative models is in most cases not Euclidean, which may lead to biases when comparing interpolation capabilities of two models. Smoothness and plausibility of linear interpolations in lat ...

Model order reduction based on functional rational approximants for parametric PDEs with meromorphic structure

Davide Pradovera

Many engineering fields rely on frequency-domain dynamical systems for the mathematical modeling of physical (electrical/mechanical/etc.) structures. With the growing need for more accurate and reliable results, the computational burden incurred by frequen ...

Fabrication, Characterization, and Simulation of Glass Devices with AlN Thin-Film Transducers for Excitation of Ultrasound Resonances

Paul Muralt, Ramin Matloub Aghdam

We present the fabrication of 570-mu m-thick millimeter-sized soda-lime-silicate float-glass blocks with a 1-mu m-thick AlN thin-film piezoelectric transducer sandwiched between thin metallic electrodes and deposited on the top surface. The electromechanic ...

Examining the Effects of Privacy-Aware Blended Learning Scenarios in Executive Training for Policymakers and Government Officials

Denis Gillet, Isabelle Barbara Marie-Hélène Cardia, Maria Gaci, Juan Carlos Farah

Enabling blended learning scenarios that foster participation and interaction is an important consideration in the design of executive training programs. To investigate this design process, our study focuses on two aspects that are present in such scenario ...

Computation of "Best" Interpolants in the Lp Sense

Michaël Unser, Pakshal Narendra Bohra

We study a variant of the interpolation problem where the continuously defined solution is regularized by minimizing the L p -norm of its second-order derivative. For this continuous-domain problem, we propose an exact discretization scheme that restricts ...

Low-Rank Tensor Approximation for Chebyshev Interpolation in Parametric Option Pricing

Daniel Kressner, Francesco Statti, Kathrin Beatrice Glau

Treating high dimensionality is one of the main challenges in the development of computational methods for solving problems arising in finance, where tasks such as pricing, calibration, and risk assessment need to be performed accurately and in real-time. ...

Teaching optics to a machine learning network

Olivier Martin, André-Pierre Blanchard-Dionne

In this Letter, we demonstrate how harmonic oscillator equations can be integrated in a neural network to improve the spectral response prediction for an optical system. We use the optical properties of a one-dimensional nanoslit array for a practical impl ...

Quasi-Rayleigh model for modeling hysteresis of piezoelectric actuators

Dragan Damjanovic, Meng Zhang

Piezoelectric actuators (PEAs) have been widely used in nano-positioning applications for their high resolution of displacement. However, hysteresis, which is an inherent property of ferroelectric PEAs has been shown to significantly degrade the system per ...

Continuous-Domain Signal Reconstruction Using L-p-Norm Regularization

Michaël Unser, Pakshal Narendra Bohra

We focus on the generalized-interpolation problem. There, one reconstructs continuous-domain signals that honor discrete data constraints. This problem is infinite-dimensional and ill-posed. We make it well-posed by imposing that the solution balances data ...

Integrating the Finite Element Method with a Data-Driven Approach for Dam Displacement Prediction

Zhenzhu Meng, Chenfei Shao, Yating Hu

Both numerical simulations and data-driven methods have been applied in dam's displacement modeling. For monitored displacement data-driven methods, the physical mechanism and structural correlations were rarely discussed. In order to take the spatial and ...
