Relative stability toward diffeomorphisms indicates performance in deep nets

Matthieu Wyart, Mario Geiger, Leonardo Petrini, Alessandro Favero

Understanding why deep nets can classify data in large dimensions remains a challenge. It has been proposed that they do so by becoming stable to diffeomorphisms, yet existing empirical measurements support that it is often not the case. We revisit this qu ...

Landmark Regularization: Ranking Guided Super-Net Training in Neural Architecture Search

Mathieu Salzmann, Kaicheng Yu

Weight sharing has become a de facto standard in neural architecture search because it enables the search to be done on commodity hardware. However, recent works have empirically shown a ranking disorder between the performance of stand-alone architectures ...

Using Enterprise Models to Explain and Discuss Autopoiesis and Homeostasis in Socio-technical Systems

Gil Regev

The article links two seemingly different fundamental theoretical concepts of autopoiesis and homeostasis and tries to apply them to the realm of socio-technical systems with the use of the Fractal Enterprise Model (FEM). Autopoiesis is the property of a s ...

Establishing multiple osteogenic differentiation pathways of mesenchymal stem cells through different scaffold configurations

Roberto Guarino

Mimicking the complex organization of the extracellular matrix (ECM), especially its structure and dimensionality, is necessary to produce living tissues from stem cells. In compliance with a previously established role of nanofiber organization for the os ...

A complex regulatory landscape involved in the development of mammalian external genitals

Denis Duboule, Lucille Delisle, Christopher Chase Bolt

Developmental genes are often controlled by large regulatory landscapes matching topologically associating domains (TADs). In various contexts, the associated chromatin backbone is modified by specific enhancer-enhancer and enhancer-promoter interactions. ...

Protofigurations, geometries of transindividuation

Julien Lafontaine Carboni

In recent years prefigurative phases of architectural or urban projects have been rising. However, in the context of prefiguration a precise definition of what could be characterized as a design methodology, a temporal space or also as a political practice ...
