A Statistical Framework to Investigate the Optimality of Signal-Reconstruction Methods

Michaël Unser, Pakshal Narendra Bohra, Pol del Aguila Pla

We present a statistical framework to benchmark the performance of reconstruction algorithms for linear inverse problems, in particular, neural-network-based methods that require large quantities of training data. We generate synthetic signals as realizati ...

Reduced order modeling of parametrized pulsatile blood flows: Hematocrit percentage and heart rate

Ricardo Reyes Sotomayor

This paper numerically evaluates the accuracy and performance of a stabilized finite element Reduced Order Modelling (ROM) approach that is designed to simulate pulsatile blood flows. The method is able to estimate fluid flow parametric solutions of intere ...

Phase diagram of Stochastic Gradient Descent in high-dimensional two-layer neural networks

Florent Gérard Krzakala, Lenka Zdeborová, Bruno Loureiro, Bruno Loureiro, Ludovic Théo Stephan

Despite the non-convex optimization landscape, over-parametrized shallow networks are able to achieve global convergence under gradient descent. The picture can be radically different for narrow net-works, which tend to get stuck in badly-generalizing loca ...

Stress induced delamination of suspended MoS2 in aqueous environments

Aleksandra Radenovic, Michal Daniel Macha, Sanjin Marion, Mukeshchand Thakur

Applying hydrostatic pressure with suspended 2D material thin membranes allows probing the effects of lateral strain on the ion and fluid transport through nanopores. We demonstrate how both permanent and temporary delamination of 2D materials can be induc ...

Synthesis and Analysis of 3D shapes with Geometric Deep Learning in Computer-Aided Engineering

Edoardo Remelli

In this thesis, we advocate that Computer-Aided Engineering could benefit from a Geometric Deep Learning revolution, similarly to the way that Deep Learning revolutionized Computer Vision. To do so, we consider a variety of Computer-Aided Engineering pr ...

Weakening effect of various pore fluids on the tensile strength of granite

Guanyi Lu

Laboratory three-point bending experiments are carried out to evaluate the effect of various fluids on the tensile strength of granite. The granite specimens were tested under both dry and saturated conditions. The fluids used to saturate the granite inclu ...

Gradient flow dynamics of shallow ReLU networks for square loss and orthogonal inputs

Nicolas Henri Bernard Flammarion, Loucas Pillaud-Vivien, Etienne Patrice Boursier

The training of neural networks by gradient descent methods is a cornerstone of the deep learning revolution. Yet, despite some recent progress, a complete theory explaining its success is still missing. This article presents, for orthogonal input vectors, ...

Generalization Properties of NAS under Activation and Skip Connection Search

Volkan Cevher, Zhenyu Zhu, Grigorios Chrysos, Fanghui Liu

Neural Architecture Search (NAS) has fostered the automatic discovery of stateof- the-art neural architectures. Despite the progress achieved with NAS, so far there is little attention to theoretical guarantees on NAS. In this work, we study the generaliza ...

A new insight into the dynamic impact between geophysical flow and rigid barrier

Xingyue Li

Understanding the interaction between complicated geophysical flows and barriers remains a critical challenge for hazards countermeasures in engineering design. In this study, the impact of geophysical flows on a rigid barrier is studied numerically using ...

Multi-Level Monte Carlo Methods for Uncertainty Quantification and Risk-Averse Optimisation

Sundar Subramaniam Ganesh

This work aims to study the effects of wind uncertainties in civil engineering structural design. Optimising the design of a structure for safety or operability without factoring in these uncertainties can result in a design that is not robust to these per ...
