We discuss some properties of generative models for word embeddings. Namely, (Arora et al., 2016) proposed a latent discourse model implying the concentration of the partition function of the word vectors. This concentration phenomenon led to an asymptotic ...
We consider the phase retrieval problem, in which the observer wishes to recover a n-dimensional real or complex signal X⋆ from the (possibly noisy) observation of |ΦX⋆|, in which Φ is a matrix of size m×n. We consider a \emph{high-dimensional} setting whe ...
Based on the spectral divide-and-conquer algorithm by Nakatsukasa and Higham [SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 35(3):A1325-A1349, 2013], we propose a new algorithm for computing all the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a symmetric banded matrix with small bandwidth, w ...
The jackknife method gives an internal covariance estimate for large-scale structure surveys and allows model-independent errors on cosmological parameters. Using the SDSS-III BOSS CMASS sample, we study how the jackknife size and number of resamplings imp ...
Aims. We investigate the contribution of shot-noise and sample variance to uncertainties in the cosmological parameter constraints inferred from cluster number counts, in the context of the Euclid survey. ...
Matrices with hierarchical low-rank structure, including HODLR and HSS matrices, constitute a versatile tool to develop fast algorithms for addressing large-scale problems. While existing software packages for such matrices often focus on linear systems, t ...
We propose a new non-perturbative method for studying UV complete unitary quantum field theories (QFTs) with a mass gap in general number of spacetime dimensions. The method relies on unitarity formulated as positive semi-definiteness of the matrix of inne ...
Many techniques for data science and uncertainty quantification demand efficient tools to handle Gaussian random fields, which are defined in terms of their mean functions and covariance operators. Recently, parameterized Gaussian random fields have gained ...
We revisit the statistical mechanics of charge fluctuations in capacitors. In constant-potential classical molecular simulations, the atomic charges of electrode atoms are treated as additional degrees of freedom which evolve in time so as to satisfy the c ...
Recursive blocked algorithms have proven to be highly efficient at the numerical solution of the Sylvester matrix equation and its generalizations. In this work, we show that these algorithms extend in a seamless fashion to higher-dimensional variants of g ...
An integer program (IP) is a problem of the form min{f(x):Ax=b,l≤x≤u,x∈Zn}, where A∈Zm×n, b∈Zm, l,u∈Zn, and f:Zn→Z is a separable convex objective function.
The problem o ...
