Mixed-precision explicit stabilized Runge-Kutta methods for single- and multi-scale differential equations

Giacomo Rosilho De Souza, Matteo Croci

Mixed-precision algorithms combine low-and high-precision computations in order to benefit from the performance gains of reduced-precision without sacrificing accuracy. In this work, we design mixed-precision Runge-Kutta-Chebyshev (RKC) methods, where high ...

Certification of the efficient random number generation technique based on single-photon detector arrays and time-to-digital converters

Edoardo Charbon, Samuel Burri

True random number generators (TRNGs) allow the generation of true random bit sequences, guaranteeing the unpredictability and perfect balancing of the generated values. TRNGs can be realised from the sampling of quantum phenomena, for instance, the detect ...

Random flip-flop: adding quantum randomness to digital circuits for improved cyber security, artificial intelligence and more

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Ivan Michel Antolovic, Mario Stipcevic

Harnessing quantum randomness for the generation of random numbers is an important concept crucial for information security and many other computer-related applications. Quantum random number generators (QRNGs) are evolving from bulky, slow, and expensive ...

Convergence of random walks with Markovian cookie stacks to Brownian motion perturbed at extrema

Thomas Mountford

We consider one-dimensional excited random walks (ERWs) with i.i.d. Markovian cookie stacks in the non-boundary recurrent regime. We prove that under diffusive scaling such an ERW converges in the standard Skorokhod topology to a multiple of Brownian motio ...

A Continuized View on Nesterov Acceleration

Nicolas Henri Bernard Flammarion, Raphaël Jean Berthier

We introduce the "continuized" Nesterov acceleration, a close variant of Nesterov acceleration whose variables are indexed by a continuous time parameter. The two variables continuously mix following a linear ordinary differential equation and take gradien ...

Learning continuous-time working memory tasks with on-policy neural reinforcement learning

Davide Zambrano

An animals' ability to learn how to make decisions based on sensory evidence is often well described by Reinforcement Learning (RL) frameworks. These frameworks, however, typically apply to event-based representations and lack the explicit and fine-grained ...

Watermarking-based Defense against Adversarial Attacks on Deep Neural Networks

James Richard Larus, Xiaoting Li, Dinghao Wu, Junjun Zhang

The vulnerability of deep neural networks to adversarial attacks has posed significant threats to real-world applications, especially security-critical ones. Given a well-trained model, slight modifications to the input samples can cause drastic changes in ...

Automatic Content Curation of Visual Heritage

Mathieu Salzmann, Frédéric Kaplan, Delphine Ribes Lemay, Nicolas Henchoz, Valentine Bernasconi

Digitization and preservation of large heritage induce high maintenance costs to keep up with the technical standards and ensure sustainable access. Creating impactful usage is instrumental to justify the resources for long-term preservation. The Museum fü ...

Neural Design Space Exploration

Pierre Dillenbourg, Richard Lee Davis, Kevin Gonyop Kim, Wei Jiang

We have developed a new tool that makes it possible for people with zero programming experience to intentionally and meaningfully explore the latent space of a GAN. This tool was developed to provide a means for designers to explore the "design space" of t ...

On the Stability of Fine-tuning BERT: Misconceptions, Explanations, and Strong Baselines

Maksym Andriushchenko

Fine-tuning pre-trained transformer-based language models such as BERT has become a common practice dominating leaderboards across various NLP benchmarks. Despite the strong empirical performance of fine-tuned models, fine-tuning is an unstable process: tr ...
