Integer points in the degree-sequence polytope

An integer vector 𝑏 ∈ Z𝑑 is a degree sequence if there exists a hypergraph with vertices {1, … , 𝑑} such that each 𝑏𝑖 is the number of hyperedges containing 𝑖. The degree-sequence polytope 𝒵 𝑑 is the convex hull of all degree sequences. We show that all bu ...

Hybrid Decentralized Optimization: Leveraging Both First- and Zeroth-Order Optimizers for Faster Convergence

Matin Ansaripour

Distributed optimization is the standard way of speeding up machine learning training, and most of the research in the area focuses on distributed first-order, gradient-based methods. Yet, there are settings where some computationally-bounded nodes may not ...

An empirical study estimating train-induced airflow rate and its effect on the cooling load of underground stations

Tianqi Liu

Train-induced airflows (TIA) have a considerable effect on the thermal environment and the cooling of underground metro stations (UMSs). However, few studies have specifically examined the relationship between the train arrival time interval and TIA's patt ...

The Two Times Problem: Where Is the Problem?

Michael Herzog

Gruber et al. (2022) offered a framework how to explain "Physical time within human time", solving the 'two times problem: Here, I am asking whether such a problem exists at all. To question the question, I will appeal to neurobiological, evolutionary, and ...

Ensemble learning and ground-truth validation of synaptic connectivity inferred from spike trains

Guillaume Romain Obozinski

Probing the architecture of neuronal circuits and the principles that underlie their functional organization remains an important challenge of modern neurosciences. This holds true, in particular, for the inference of neuronal connectivity from large-scale ...

Low-rank tensor methods for large Markov chains and forward feature selection methods

Francisco Santos Paredes Quartin de Macedo

In the first part of this thesis, we present and compare several approaches for the determination of the steady-state of large-scale Markov chains with an underlying low-rank tensor structure. Such structure is, in our context of interest, associated with ...

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 ...

The gene family-free median of three

Background: The gene family-free framework for comparative genomics aims at providing methods for gene order analysis that do not require prior gene family assignment, but work directly on a sequence similarity graph. We study two problems related to the b ...

Data-based model maintenance in the era of industry 4.0: A methodology

Dimitrios Kyritsis, Foivos Psarommatis Giannakopoulos

Despite the high number of investments for data-based models in the expansion of Industry 4.0, too little effort has been made to ensure the maintenance of those models. In a data-streaming environment, data-based models are subject to concept drifts. A co ...

Approximation algorithms for geometric dispersion

Alfonso Bolívar Cevallos Manzano

The most basic form of the max-sum dispersion problem (MSD) is as follows: given n points in R^q and an integer k, select a set of k points such that the sum of the pairwise distances within the set is maximal. This is a prominent diversity problem, with w ...
