Training DNNs with Hybrid Block Floating Point

Babak Falsafi, Martin Jaggi, Tao Lin, Mario Paulo Drumond Lages De Oliveira

The wide adoption of DNNs has given birth to unrelenting computing requirements, forcing datacenter operators to adopt domain-specific accelerators to train them. These accelerators typically employ densely packed full-precision floating-point arithmetic t ...

The cup product of Brooks quasimorphisms

Nicolas Monod

We prove the vanishing of the cup product of the bounded cohomology classes associated to any two Brooks quasimorphisms on the free group. This is a consequence of the vanishing of the square of a universal class for tree automorphism groups. ...

Representing groups against all odds

Maxime Gheysens

We investigate how probability tools can be useful to study representations of non-amenable groups. A suitable notion of "probabilistic subgroup" is proposed for locally compact groups, and is valuable to induction of representations. Nonamenable groups ad ...

The size of the sync basin revisited

Philippe René Joseph Jacquod, Robin Delabays

In dynamical systems, the full stability of fixed point solutions is determined by their basins of attraction. Characterizing the structure of these basins is, in general, a complicated task, especially in high dimensionality. Recent works have advocated t ...

Fixed Points For Bounded Orbits In Hilbert Spaces

Nicolas Monod, Maxime Gheysens

Consider the following property of a topological group G: every continuous affine G-action on a Hilbert space with a bounded orbit has a fixed point. We prove that this property characterizes amenability for locally compact a-compact groups (e.g., countabl ...

A parametric augmented Lagrangian algorithm for real-time economic NMPC

Colin Neil Jones, Jean-Hubert Hours, Harsh Ambarishkumar Shukla

In this paper, a novel optimality-tracking algorithm for solving Economic Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (ENMPC) problems in real-time is presented. Developing online schemes for ENMPC is challenging, since it is unclear how convexity of the Quadratic ...

Gas sensor

Gaël André Léon Farine, Conor Joseph Slater

Gas sensor (2) for measuring properties of a gas (1), including a gas viscosity sensor (4) comprising a gas interface portion (20) in contact with the gas (1) to be measured, and a measuring chamber system (15) comprising a measuring chamber(16), a first r ...

Application aux équations aux dérivées partielles d'une méthode par point fixe et le problème des deux puits

Sébastien Basterrechea

This thesis consists of two parts. The first part is about a variant of Banach's fixed point theorem and its applications to several partial differential equations (PDE's), abstractly of the form [ \mathcal Lu + \mathcal Q(u) = f.] The main result of thi ...

Fixed points and amenability in non-positive curvature

Nicolas Monod

Consider a proper cocompact CAT(0) space X. We give a complete algebraic characterisation of amenable groups of isometries of X. For amenable discrete subgroups, an even narrower description is derived, implying Q-linearity in the torsion-free case. We est ...
