  text: 'In runtime verification, a monitor watches a trace of a system and, if possible,
    decides after observing each finite prefix whether or not the unknown infinite
    trace satisfies a given specification. We generalize the theory of runtime verification
    to monitors that attempt to estimate numerical values of quantitative trace properties
    (instead of attempting to conclude boolean values of trace specifications), such
    as maximal or average response time along a trace. Quantitative monitors are approximate:
    with every finite prefix, they can improve their estimate of the infinite trace''s
    unknown property value. Consequently, quantitative monitors can be compared with
    regard to a precision-cost trade-off: better approximations of the property value
    require more monitor resources, such as states (in the case of finite-state monitors)
    or registers, and additional resources yield better approximations. We introduce
    a formal framework for quantitative and approximate monitoring, show how it conservatively
    generalizes the classical boolean setting for monitoring, and give several precision-cost
    trade-offs for monitors. For example, we prove that there are quantitative properties
    for which every additional register improves monitoring precision.'

  text: 'Markov chains are the de facto finite-state model for stochastic dynamical
    systems, and Markov decision processes (MDPs) extend Markov chains by incorporating
    non-deterministic behaviors. Given an MDP and rewards on states, a classical optimization
    criterion is the maximal expected total reward where the MDP stops after T steps,
    which can be computed by a simple dynamic programming algorithm. We consider a
    natural generalization of the problem where the stopping times can be chosen according
    to a probability distribution, such that the expected stopping time is T, to optimize
    the expected total reward. Quite surprisingly we establish inter-reducibility
    of the expected stopping-time problem for Markov chains with the Positivity problem
    (which is related to the well-known Skolem problem), for which establishing either
    decidability or undecidability would be a major breakthrough. Given the hardness
    of the exact problem, we consider the approximate version of the problem: we show
    that it can be solved in exponential time for Markov chains and in exponential
    space for MDPs.'

  text: Amplitude demodulation is a classical operation used in signal processing.
    For a long time, its effective applications in practice have been limited to narrowband
    signals. In this work, we generalize amplitude demodulation to wideband signals.
    We pose demodulation as a recovery problem of an oversampled corrupted signal
    and introduce special iterative schemes belonging to the family of alternating
    projection algorithms to solve it. Sensibly chosen structural assumptions on the
    demodulation outputs allow us to reveal the high inferential accuracy of the method
    over a rich set of relevant signals. This new approach surpasses current state-of-the-art
    demodulation techniques apt to wideband signals in computational efficiency by
    up to many orders of magnitude with no sacrifice in quality. Such performance
    opens the door for applications of the amplitude demodulation procedure in new
    contexts. In particular, the new method makes online and large-scale offline data
    processing feasible, including the calculation of modulator-carrier pairs in higher
    dimensions and poor sampling conditions, independent of the signal bandwidth.
    We illustrate the utility and specifics of applications of the new method in practice
    by using natural speech and synthetic signals.

  text: 'This paper characterizes the latency of the simplified successive-cancellation
    (SSC) decoding scheme for polar codes under hardware resource constraints. In
    particular, when the number of processing elements P that can perform SSC decoding
    operations in parallel is limited, as is the case in practice, the latency of
    SSC decoding is O(N1−1 μ+NPlog2log2NP), where N is the block length of the code
    and μ is the scaling exponent of polar codes for the channel. Three direct consequences
    of this bound are presented. First, in a fully-parallel implementation where P=N2
    , the latency of SSC decoding is O(N1−1/μ) , which is sublinear in the block length.
    This recovers a result from an earlier work. Second, in a fully-serial implementation
    where P=1 , the latency of SSC decoding scales as O(Nlog2log2N) . The multiplicative
    constant is also calculated: we show that the latency of SSC decoding when P=1
    is given by (2+o(1))Nlog2log2N . Third, in a semi-parallel implementation, the
    smallest P that gives the same latency as that of the fully-parallel implementation
    is P=N1/μ . The tightness of our bound on SSC decoding latency and the applicability
    of the foregoing results is validated through extensive simulations.'

  text: Higher temperatures in urban areas expose a large fraction of the human population
    to potentially dangerous heat stress. Green spaces are promoted worldwide as local
    and city-scale cooling strategies but the amount, type, and functioning of vegetation
    in cities lack quantification and their interaction with urban climate in different
    settings remains a matter of debate. Here we use state-of-the-art remote sensing
    data from 145 city clusters to disentangle the drivers of surface urban heat islands
    (SUHI) intensity and quantify urban-rural differences in vegetation cover, species
    composition, and evaporative cooling. We show that nighttime SUHIs are affected
    mostly by abiotic factors, while daytime SUHIs are highly correlated with vegetation
    characteristics and the wetness of the background climate. Magnitude and seasonality
    of daytime SUHIs are controlled by urban-rural differences in plant transpiration
    and leaf area, which explain the dependence of SUHIs on wetness conditions. Leaf
    area differences are caused primarily by changes in vegetation type and a loss
    of in-city forested areas, highlighting the importance of maintaining “natural
    reserves” as a sustainable heat mitigation policy.

  text: We prove an adiabatic theorem for the Landau–Pekar equations. This allows
    us to derive new results on the accuracy of their use as effective equations for
    the time evolution generated by the Fröhlich Hamiltonian with large coupling constant
    α. In particular, we show that the time evolution of Pekar product states with
    coherent phonon field and the electron being trapped by the phonons is well approximated
    by the Landau–Pekar equations until times short compared to α2.

  text: 'Half a century after Lewis Wolpert''s seminal conceptual advance on how cellular
    fates distribute in space, we provide a brief historical perspective on how the
    concept of positional information emerged and influenced the field of developmental
    biology and beyond. We focus on a modern interpretation of this concept in terms
    of information theory, largely centered on its application to cell specification
    in the early Drosophila embryo. We argue that a true physical variable (position)
    is encoded in local concentrations of patterning molecules, that this mapping
    is stochastic, and that the processes by which positions and corresponding cell
    fates are determined based on these concentrations need to take such stochasticity
    into account. With this approach, we shift the focus from biological mechanisms,
    molecules, genes and pathways to quantitative systems-level questions: where does
    positional information reside, how it is transformed and accessed during development,
    and what fundamental limits it is subject to?'

  text: The Hunchback (Hb) transcription factor is crucial for anterior-posterior
    patterning of the Drosophila embryo. The maternal hb mRNA acts as a paradigm for
    translational regulation due to its repression in the posterior of the embryo.
    However, little is known about the translatability of zygotically transcribed
    hb mRNAs. Here, we adapt the SunTag system, developed for imaging translation
    at single-mRNA resolution in tissue culture cells, to the Drosophila embryo to
    study the translation dynamics of zygotic hb mRNAs. Using single-molecule imaging
    in fixed and live embryos, we provide evidence for translational repression of
    zygotic SunTag-hb mRNAs. Whereas the proportion of SunTag-hb mRNAs translated
    is initially uniform, translation declines from the anterior over time until it
    becomes restricted to a posterior band in the expression domain. We discuss how
    regulated hb mRNA translation may help establish the sharp Hb expression boundary,
    which is a model for precision and noise during developmental patterning. Overall,
    our data show how use of the SunTag method on fixed and live embryos is a powerful
    combination for elucidating spatiotemporal regulation of mRNA translation in Drosophila.

  text: Inhibition or targeted deletion of histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) is neuroprotective
    in a variety neurodegenerative conditions, including retinal ganglion cells (RGCs)
    after acute optic nerve damage. Consistent with this, induced HDAC3 expression
    in cultured cells shows selective toxicity to neurons. Despite an established
    role for HDAC3 in neuronal pathology, little is known regarding the mechanism
    of this pathology.

  text: This work analyzes the latency of the simplified successive cancellation (SSC)
    decoding scheme for polar codes proposed by Alamdar-Yazdi and Kschischang. It
    is shown that, unlike conventional successive cancellation decoding, where latency
    is linear in the block length, the latency of SSC decoding is sublinear. More
    specifically, the latency of SSC decoding is O(N1−1/μ) , where N is the block
    length and μ is the scaling exponent of the channel, which captures the speed
    of convergence of the rate to capacity. Numerical results demonstrate the tightness
    of the bound and show that most of the latency reduction arises from the parallel
    decoding of subcodes of rate 0 or 1.

  text: "We study two fundamental communication primitives: broadcasting and leader
    election in the classical model of multi-hop radio networks with unknown topology
    and without collision detection mechanisms. It has been known for almost 20 years
    that in undirected networks with n nodes and diameter D, randomized broadcasting
    requires Ω(D log n/D + log2 n) rounds, assuming that uninformed nodes are not
    allowed to communicate (until they are informed). Only very recently, Haeupler
    and Wajc (PODC'2016) showed that this bound can be improved for the model with
    spontaneous transmissions, providing an O(D log n log log n/log D + logO(1) n)-time
    broadcasting algorithm. In this article, we give a new and faster algorithm that
    completes broadcasting in O(D log n/log D + logO(1) n) time, succeeding with high
    probability. This yields the first optimal O(D)-time broadcasting algorithm whenever
    n is polynomial in D.\r\n\r\nFurthermore, our approach can be applied to design
    a new leader election algorithm that matches the performance of our broadcasting
    algorithm. Previously, all fast randomized leader election algorithms have used
    broadcasting as a subroutine and their complexity has been asymptotically strictly
    larger than the complexity of broadcasting. In particular, the fastest previously
    known randomized leader election algorithm of Ghaffari and Haeupler (SODA'2013)
    requires O(D log n/D min {log log n, log n/D} + logO(1) n)-time, succeeding with
    high probability. Our new algorithm again requires O(D log n/log D + logO(1) n)
    time, also succeeding with high probability."

  text: The choice of the boundary conditions in mechanical problems has to reflect
    the interaction of the considered material with the surface. Still the assumption
    of the no-slip condition is preferred in order to avoid boundary terms in the
    analysis and slipping effects are usually overlooked. Besides the “static slip
    models”, there are phenomena that are not accurately described by them, e.g. at
    the moment when the slip changes rapidly, the wall shear stress and the slip can
    exhibit a sudden overshoot and subsequent relaxation. When these effects become
    significant, the so-called dynamic slip phenomenon occurs. We develop a mathematical
    analysis of Navier–Stokes-like problems with a dynamic slip boundary condition,
    which requires a proper generalization of the Gelfand triplet and the corresponding
    function space setting.

  text: We study systems of nonlinear partial differential equations of parabolic
    type, in which the elliptic operator is replaced by the first-order divergence
    operator acting on a flux function, which is related to the spatial gradient of
    the unknown through an additional implicit equation. This setting, broad enough
    in terms of applications, significantly expands the paradigm of nonlinear parabolic
    problems. Formulating four conditions concerning the form of the implicit equation,
    we first show that these conditions describe a maximal monotone p-coercive graph.
    We then establish the global-in-time and large-data existence of a (weak) solution
    and its uniqueness. To this end, we adopt and significantly generalize Minty’s
    method of monotone mappings. A unified theory, containing several novel tools,
    is developed in a way to be tractable from the point of view of numerical approximations.

  text: "Formal verification of neural networks is an active topic of research, and
    recent advances have significantly increased the size of the networks that verification
    tools can handle. However, most methods are designed for verification of an idealized
    model of the actual network which works over real arithmetic and ignores rounding
    imprecisions. This idealization is in stark contrast to network quantization,
    which is a technique that trades numerical precision for computational efficiency
    and is, therefore, often applied in practice. Neglecting rounding errors of such
    low-bit quantized neural networks has been shown to lead to wrong conclusions
    about the network’s correctness. Thus, the desired approach for verifying quantized
    neural networks would be one that takes these rounding errors\r\ninto account.
    In this paper, we show that verifying the bitexact implementation of quantized
    neural networks with bitvector specifications is PSPACE-hard, even though verifying
    idealized real-valued networks and satisfiability of bit-vector specifications
    alone are each in NP. Furthermore, we explore several practical heuristics toward
    closing the complexity gap between idealized and bit-exact verification. In particular,
    we propose three techniques for making SMT-based verification of quantized neural
    networks more scalable. Our experiments demonstrate that our proposed methods
    allow a speedup of up to three orders of magnitude over existing approaches."

  text: We introduce a new class of time-continuous recurrent neural network models.
    Instead of declaring a learning system’s dynamics by implicit nonlinearities,
    we construct networks of linear first-order dynamical systems modulated via nonlinear
    interlinked gates. The resulting models represent dynamical systems with varying
    (i.e., liquid) time-constants coupled to their hidden state, with outputs being
    computed by numerical differential equation solvers. These neural networks exhibit
    stable and bounded behavior, yield superior expressivity within the family of
    neural ordinary differential equations, and give rise to improved performance
    on time-series prediction tasks. To demonstrate these properties, we first take
    a theoretical approach to find bounds over their dynamics, and compute their expressive
    power by the trajectory length measure in a latent trajectory space. We then conduct
    a series of time-series prediction experiments to manifest the approximation capability
    of Liquid Time-Constant Networks (LTCs) compared to classical and modern RNNs.

  text: Asynchronous distributed algorithms are a popular way to reduce synchronization
    costs in large-scale optimization, and in particular for neural network training.
    However, for nonsmooth and nonconvex objectives, few convergence guarantees exist
    beyond cases where closed-form proximal operator solutions are available. As training
    most popular deep neural networks corresponds to optimizing nonsmooth and nonconvex
    objectives, there is a pressing need for such convergence guarantees. In this
    paper, we analyze for the first time the convergence of stochastic asynchronous
    optimization for this general class of objectives. In particular, we focus on
    stochastic subgradient methods allowing for block variable partitioning, where
    the shared model is asynchronously updated by concurrent processes. To this end,
    we use a probabilistic model which captures key features of real asynchronous
    scheduling between concurrent processes. Under this model, we establish convergence
    with probability one to an invariant set for stochastic subgradient methods with
    momentum. From a practical perspective, one issue with the family of algorithms
    that we consider is that they are not efficiently supported by machine learning
    frameworks, which mostly focus on distributed data-parallel strategies. To address
    this, we propose a new implementation strategy for shared-memory based training
    of deep neural networks for a partitioned but shared model in single- and multi-GPU
    settings. Based on this implementation, we achieve on average1.2x speed-up in
    comparison to state-of-the-art training methods for popular image classification
    tasks, without compromising accuracy.

  text: "We show that Neural ODEs, an emerging class of timecontinuous neural networks,
    can be verified by solving a set of global-optimization problems. For this purpose,
    we introduce Stochastic Lagrangian Reachability (SLR), an\r\nabstraction-based
    technique for constructing a tight Reachtube (an over-approximation of the set
    of reachable states\r\nover a given time-horizon), and provide stochastic guarantees
    in the form of confidence intervals for the Reachtube bounds. SLR inherently avoids
    the infamous wrapping effect (accumulation of over-approximation errors) by performing
    local optimization steps to expand safe regions instead of repeatedly forward-propagating
    them as is done by deterministic reachability methods. To enable fast local optimizations,
    we introduce a novel forward-mode adjoint sensitivity method to compute gradients
    without the need for backpropagation. Finally, we establish asymptotic and non-asymptotic
    convergence rates for SLR."

  text: "The scalability of concurrent data structures and distributed algorithms
    strongly depends on\r\nreducing the contention for shared resources and the costs
    of synchronization and communication. We show how such cost reductions can be
    attained by relaxing the strict consistency conditions required by sequential
    implementations. In the first part of the thesis, we consider relaxation in the
    context of concurrent data structures. Specifically, in data structures \r\nsuch
    as priority queues, imposing strong semantics renders scalability impossible,
    since a correct implementation of the remove operation should return only the
    element with highest priority. Intuitively, attempting to invoke remove operations
    concurrently  creates a race condition. This bottleneck  can be circumvented by
    relaxing semantics of the affected data structure, thus allowing removal of the
    elements which are no longer required to have the highest priority. We prove that
    the randomized implementations of relaxed data structures provide provable guarantees
    on the priority of the removed elements even under concurrency. Additionally,
    we show that in some cases the relaxed data structures can be used to scale the
    classical algorithms which are usually implemented with the exact ones. In the
    second part, we study parallel variants of the  stochastic gradient descent (SGD)
    algorithm, which distribute computation  among the multiple processors, thus reducing
    the running time. Unfortunately, in order for standard parallel SGD to succeed,
    each processor has to maintain a local copy of the necessary model parameter,
    which is identical to the local copies of other processors; the overheads from
    this perfect consistency in terms of communication and synchronization can negate
    the speedup gained by distributing the computation. We show that the consistency
    conditions required by SGD can be  relaxed, allowing the algorithm to be more
    flexible in terms of tolerating quantized communication, asynchrony, or even crash
    faults, while its convergence remains asymptotically the same."

  text: One key element behind the recent progress of machine learning has been the
    ability to train machine learning models in large-scale distributed shared-memory
    and message-passing environments. Most of these models are trained employing variants
    of stochastic gradient descent (SGD) based optimization, but most methods involve
    some type of consistency relaxation relative to sequential SGD, to mitigate its
    large communication or synchronization costs at scale. In this paper, we introduce
    a general consistency condition covering communication-reduced and asynchronous
    distributed SGD implementations. Our framework, called elastic consistency, decouples
    the system-specific aspects of the implementation from the SGD convergence requirements,
    giving a general way to obtain convergence bounds for a wide variety of distributed
    SGD methods used in practice. Elastic consistency can be used to re-derive or
    improve several previous convergence bounds in message-passing and shared-memory
    settings, but also to analyze new models and distribution schemes. As a direct
    application, we propose and analyze a new synchronization-avoiding scheduling
    scheme for distributed SGD, and show that it can be used to efficiently train
    deep convolutional models for image classification.

  text: "We compare the Manin-type conjecture for Campana points recently formulated\r\nby
    Pieropan, Smeets, Tanimoto and V\\'{a}rilly-Alvarado with an alternative\r\nprediction
    of Browning and Van Valckenborgh in the special case of the orbifold\r\n$(\\mathbb{P}^1,D)$,
    where $D =\\frac{1}{2}[0]+\\frac{1}{2}[1]+\\frac{1}{2}[\\infty]$. We find that
    the two predicted leading constants do not agree, and we discuss whether thin
    sets\r\ncould explain this discrepancy. Motivated by this, we provide a counterexample\r\nto
    the Manin-type conjecture for Campana points, by considering orbifolds\r\ncorresponding
    to squareful values of binary quadratic forms."
