Adaptive Stochastic Variance Reduction for Non-convex Finite-Sum Minimization

Volkan Cevher, Kimon Antonakopoulos, Efstratios Panteleimon Skoulakis, Leello Tadesse Dadi, Ali Kavis

We propose an adaptive variance-reduction method, called AdaSpider, for minimization of L-smooth, non-convex functions with a finite-sum structure. In essence, AdaSpider combines an AdaGrad-inspired [Duchi et al., 2011, McMahan & Streeter, 2010], but a fai ...

Stochastic distributed learning with gradient quantization and double-variance reduction

Sebastian Urban Stich, Konstantin Mishchenko

We consider distributed optimization over several devices, each sending incremental model updates to a central server. This setting is considered, for instance, in federated learning. Various schemes have been designed to compress the model updates in orde ...

Idempotents in the endomorphism algebra of a finite lattice

Jacques Thévenaz, Serge Bouc

We give a direct construction of a specific central idempotent in the endomorphism algebra of a finite lattice T. This idempotent is associated with all possible sublattices of T which are totally ordered. A generalization is considered in a conjectural fa ...

Intermolecular Pd(0)-Catalyzed Atropo-enantioselective C-H Arylation of Heteroarenes and Other Investigations into the Enantioselective Activation of Challenging C(sp3)-H Bonds

Qui-Hien Nguyen

The direct construction of stereogenic axes by enantioselective C-H arylation has been regarded as a very challenging transformation. Very few examples have been reported, despite the indisputable straight-forwardness of the methodology. This is due to the ...

A generalized theory of separable effects in competing event settings

Mats Julius Stensrud

In competing event settings, a counterfactual contrast of cause-specific cumulative incidences quantifies the total causal effect of a treatment on the event of interest. However, effects of treatment on the competing event may indirectly contribute to thi ...

Variants of Homomorphism Polynomials Complete for Algebraic Complexity Classes

Aditya Vardhan Varre

We present polynomial families complete for the well-studied algebraic complexity classes VF, VBP, VP, and VNP. The polynomial families are based on the homomorphism polynomials studied in the recent works of Durand et al. (2014) and Mahajan et al. (2018). ...

The effects of Prandtl number on the nonlinear dynamics of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in two dimensions

Jeremy Peter Parker

It is known that the pitchfork bifurcation of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability occurring at minimum gradient Richardson number Ri(m) similar or equal to 1/4 in viscous stratified shear flows can be subcritical or supercritical depending on the value of the Pra ...

A new elementary proof of the Prime Number Theorem

Florian Karl Richter

Let

\Omega(n)

denote the number of prime factors of

n

. We show that for any bounded

f\colon\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{C}

one has [ \frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=1}^N, f(\Omega(n)+1)=\frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=1}^N, f(\Omega(n))+\mathrm{o}_{N\to\infty}(1). ] This yields a ...

Development of remote C-H bond functionalization of redox-active alcohol derivatives and oxidative transformations under photoredox catalysis

Alexandre Julien Florent Leclair

The development of radical-based remote C(sp3)-H functionalizations of redox-active alcohol derivatives, oxidative cycloaddition and rearrangement transformations under visible light photocatalysis constitute the basis of this thesis.The first chapter desc ...

Poly-NL: Linear Complexity Non-local Layers With 3rd Order Polynomials

Grigorios Chrysos, Filippos Kokkinos

Spatial self-attention layers, in the form of Non-Local blocks, introduce long-range dependencies in Convolutional Neural Networks by computing pairwise similarities among all possible positions. Such pairwise functions underpin the effectiveness of non-lo ...
