Stability of Image-Reconstruction Algorithms

Michaël Unser, Sebastian Jonas Neumayer, Pol del Aguila Pla

Robustness and stability of image-reconstruction algorithms have recently come under scrutiny. Their importance to medical imaging cannot be overstated. We review the known results for the topical variational regularization strategies ( ℓ2 and ℓ1 regulariz ...

Near-Minimax Optimal Estimation With Shallow ReLU Neural Networks

Rahul Parhi

We study the problem of estimating an unknown function from noisy data using shallow ReLU neural networks. The estimators we study minimize the sum of squared data-fitting errors plus a regularization term proportional to the squared Euclidean norm of the ...

The inductive bias of deep learning: Connecting weights and functions

Guillermo Ortiz Jimenez

Years of a fierce competition have naturally selected the fittest deep learning algorithms. Yet, although these models work well in practice, we still lack a proper characterization of why they do so. This poses serious questions about the robustness, trus ...

Regressive Tomography and Direct Regressive Reconstruction: A Research Note

Henri Weisen

Two related methods for inverting line-integrated measurements are presented in this research paper in the context of the recent deuterium-tritium experiments in the JET tokamak. Unlike traditional methods of tomography, these methods rely on making use of ...

Reducibility bounds of objective functions over the integers

Friedrich Eisenbrand, Kim-Manuel Klein

We study the settings where we are given a separable objective function of n variables defined in a given box of integers. We show that in many cases we can replace the given objective function by a new function with a much smaller domain. Our results appl ...

Tree-cotree decomposition of isogeometric mortared spaces in H(curl) on multi-patch domains

Rafael Vazquez Hernandez, Bernard Kapidani

When applying isogeometric analysis to engineering problems, one often deals with multi-patch spline spaces that have incompatible discretisations, e.g. in the case of moving objects. In such cases mortaring has been shown to be advantageous. This contribu ...

Understanding Deep Neural Function Approximation in Reinforcement Learning via ϵ-Greedy Exploration

Volkan Cevher, Fanghui Liu, Luca Viano

This paper provides a theoretical study of deep neural function approximation in reinforcement learning (RL) with the ϵ-greedy exploration under the online setting. This problem setting is motivated by the successful deep Q-networks (DQN) framework that fa ...

Linear Lipschitz and C-1 extension operators through random projection

Federico Stra

We construct a regular random projection of a metric space onto a closed doubling subset and use it to linearly extend Lipschitz and C-1 functions. This way we prove more directly a result by Lee and Naor [5] and we generalize the C-l extension theorem by ...

Existence of dynamical low rank approximations for random semi-linear evolutionary equations on the maximal interval

Fabio Nobile, Yoshihito Kazashi

An existence result is presented for the dynamical low rank (DLR) approximation for random semi-linear evolutionary equations. The DLR solution approximates the true solution at each time instant by a linear combination of products of deterministic and sto ...

Least-Squares Padé approximation of parametric and stochastic Helmholtz maps

Fabio Nobile, Davide Pradovera, Francesca Bonizzoni

The present work deals with rational model order reduction methods based on the single-point Least-Square (LS) Padé approximation techniques introduced in Bonizzoni et al. (ESAIM Math. Model. Numer. Anal., 52(4), 1261–1284 2018, Math. Comput. 89, 1229–1257 ...

Regularity and sparse approximation of the recursive first moment equations for the lognormal Darcy problem

Fabio Nobile, Francesca Bonizzoni

We study the Darcy boundary value problem with lognormal permeability field. We adopt a perturbation approach, expanding the solution in Taylor series around the nominal value of the coefficient, and approximating the expected value of the stochastic solut ...

Decompositions Of Log-Correlated Fields With Applications

Janne Matias Junnila

In this article, we establish novel decompositions of Gaussian fields taking values in suitable spaces of generalized functions, and then use these decompositions to prove results about Gaussian multiplicative chaos. We prove two decomposition theorems. Th ...

Perceptual effects of daylight patterns in architecture

Kynthia Chamilothori

The profound impact of daylight on occupants is broadly recognized in the fields of architecture and lighting. In particular, the façade and its interplay with light is a central design element, while the diversity of daylight in space is widely acknowledg ...

Optimal Spline Generators for Derivative Sampling

Michaël Unser, Shayan Aziznejad

The goal of derivative sampling is to reconstruct a signal from the samples of the function and of its first-order derivative. In this paper, we consider this problem over a shift-invariant reconstruction subspace generated by two compact-support functions ...

Neural Tanget Kernel: Convergence and Generalization in Neural Networks

Clément Hongler, Franck Raymond Gabriel, Arthur Ulysse Jacot-Guillarmod

At initialization, artificial neural networks (ANNs) are equivalent to Gaussian processes in the infinite-width limit [12, 9], thus connecting them to kernel methods. We prove that the evolution of an ANN during training can also be described by a kernel: ...

Heat-driven spin torques in antiferromagnets

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Sylvain Bréchet, Marcin Bialek

A heat-driven magnetization damping, that is a linear function of a temperature gradient, is predicted in antiferromagnets by considering the sublattice dynamics subjected to a heat-driven spin torque. This points to the possibility of achieving a spin tor ...

Synthesis of Cross-linked Ionic Poly(styrenes) and their Application as Catalysts for the Synthesis of Carbonates from CO2 and Epoxides

Paul Joseph Dyson, Zhaofu Fei, Felix Daniel Bobbink, Antoine Philippe Van Muyden, Aswin Gopakumar

A series of dicationic styrene-functionalized imidazolium-based salts, in which the two imidazolium rings are bridged by a functionalized spacer, are prepared. The salts are polymerized to afford cross-linked imidazolium-based ionic polystyrene materials, ...

Spline Shape Processing : Representation, Learning, and Modeling

Stochastic impulse control with regime-switching dynamics

Optimal product management problems with multiple product generations in continuous time lead to the consideration of dynamic optimal control problems that feature both intervention costs and partially controlled regime shifts. We therefore investigate and ...

Biomass Modelling: estimating thermodynamic properties from the elemental composition

François Maréchal, Emanuela Peduzzi

In the context of modelling biomass conversion processes, the accurate representation of biomass, which is a complex and highly variable material, is of crucial importance. This study provides a rather simple and flexible way to represent biomass, especial ...
