Small-amplitude Red Giants Elucidate the Nature of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch as a Standard Candle

Richard Irving Anderson, Nolan Wayne Koblischke

The tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) is an important standard candle for determining luminosity distances. Although several 105 small-amplitude red giant stars (SARGs) have been discovered, variability was previously considered irrelevant for the TRGB as ...

Applications of the thawed Gaussian approximation to electronic spectroscopy.

Eriks Kletnieks

The exploration of electronically excited states and the study of diverse photochemical and photophysical processes are the main goals of molecular electronic spectroscopy. Exact quantum-mechanical simulation of such experiments is, however, beyond current ...

Universal and adaptive methods for robust stochastic optimization

Ali Kavis

Within the context of contemporary machine learning problems, efficiency of optimization process depends on the properties of the model and the nature of the data available, which poses a significant problem as the complexity of either increases ad infinit ...

Faster One-Sample Stochastic Conditional Gradient Method for Composite Convex Minimization

Volkan Cevher, Alp Yurtsever, Maria-Luiza Vladarean

We propose a stochastic conditional gradient method (CGM) for minimizing convex finitesum objectives formed as a sum of smooth and non-smooth terms. Existing CGM variants for this template either suffer from slow convergence rates, or require carefully inc ...

Differentiable Physically Based Rendering: Algorithms, Systems and Applications

Merlin Eléazar Nimier-David

Physically based rendering methods can create photorealistic images by simulating the propagation and interaction of light in a virtual scene. Given a scene description including the shape of objects, participating media, material properties, etc., the sim ...

Pedestrian Intention Prediction: A Convolutional Bottom-Up Multi-Task Approach

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Taylor Ferdinand Mordan

The ability to predict pedestrian behaviour is crucial for road safety, traffic management systems, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), and more broadly autonomous vehicles. We present a vision-based system that simultaneously locates where pedestri ...

Byzantine Fault-Tolerant Distributed Machine Learning with Norm-Based Comparative Gradient Elimination

Nirupam Gupta, Shuo Liu

This paper considers the Byzantine fault-tolerance problem in distributed stochastic gradient descent (D-SGD) method - a popular algorithm for distributed multi-agent machine learning. In this problem, each agent samples data points independently from a ce ...

Leveraging Spatial and Photometric Context for Calibrated Non-Lambertian Photometric Stereo

Pascal Fua, Engin Türetken, David Honzátko

The problem of estimating a surface shape from its observed reflectance properties still remains a challenging task in computer vision. The presence of global illumination effects such as inter-reflections or cast shadows makes the task particularly diffic ...

Square Attack: a query-efficient black-box adversarial attack via random search

Nicolas Henri Bernard Flammarion, Maksym Andriushchenko, Francesco Croce

We propose the Square Attack, a new score-based black-box

l_2

and

l_\infty

adversarial attack that does not rely on local gradient information and thus is not affected by gradient masking. The Square Attack is based on a randomized search scheme where ...

A note on efficient computation of privileged directions in modifier adaptation

Dominique Bonvin, Timm Faulwasser, Alejandro Gabriel Marchetti, Martand Singhal

In the presence of plant-model mismatch, the estimation of plant gradients is key to the performance of measurement-based iterative optimization schemes. However, gradient estimation requires time-consuming experiments, wherein the plant is sequentially pe ...
