  text: We consider the problem of statistical computations with persistence diagrams,
    a summary representation of topological features in data. These diagrams encode
    persistent homology, a widely used invariant in topological data analysis. While
    several avenues towards a statistical treatment of the diagrams have been explored
    recently, we follow an alternative route that is motivated by the success of methods
    based on the embedding of probability measures into reproducing kernel Hilbert
    spaces. In fact, a positive definite kernel on persistence diagrams has recently
    been proposed, connecting persistent homology to popular kernel-based learning
    techniques such as support vector machines. However, important properties of that
    kernel enabling a principled use in the context of probability measure embeddings
    remain to be explored. Our contribution is to close this gap by proving universality
    of a variant of the original kernel, and to demonstrate its effective use in twosample
    hypothesis testing on synthetic as well as real-world data.

  text: 'In this work we aim at extending the theoretical foundations of lifelong
    learning. Previous work analyzing this scenario is based on the assumption that
    learning tasks are sampled i.i.d. from a task environment or limited to strongly
    constrained data distributions. Instead, we study two scenarios when lifelong
    learning is possible, even though the observed tasks do not form an i.i.d. sample:
    first, when they are sampled from the same environment, but possibly with dependencies,
    and second, when the task environment is allowed to change over time in a consistent
    way. In the first case we prove a PAC-Bayesian theorem that can be seen as a direct
    generalization of the analogous previous result for the i.i.d. case. For the second
    scenario we propose to learn an inductive bias in form of a transfer procedure.
    We present a generalization bound and show on a toy example how it can be used
    to identify a beneficial transfer algorithm.'

  text: Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) form a popular optimisation paradigm inspired
    by natural evolution. In recent years the field of evolutionary computation has
    developed a rigorous analytical theory to analyse their runtime on many illustrative
    problems. Here we apply this theory to a simple model of natural evolution. In
    the Strong Selection Weak Mutation (SSWM) evolutionary regime the time between
    occurrence of new mutations is much longer than the time it takes for a new beneficial
    mutation to take over the population. In this situation, the population only contains
    copies of one genotype and evolution can be modelled as a (1+1)-type process where
    the probability of accepting a new genotype (improvements or worsenings) depends
    on the change in fitness. We present an initial runtime analysis of SSWM, quantifying
    its performance for various parameters and investigating differences to the (1+1)
    EA. We show that SSWM can have a moderate advantage over the (1+1) EA at crossing
    fitness valleys and study an example where SSWM outperforms the (1+1) EA by taking
    advantage of information on the fitness gradient.

  text: Scaffolded DNA origami enables the fabrication of a variety of complex nanostructures
    that promise utility in diverse fields of application, ranging from biosensing
    over advanced therapeutics to metamaterials. The broad applicability of DNA origami
    as a material beyond the level of proof-of-concept studies critically depends,
    among other factors, on the availability of large amounts of pure single-stranded
    scaffold DNA. Here, we present a method for the efficient production of M13 bacteriophage-derived
    genomic DNA using high-cell-density fermentation of Escherichia coli in stirred-tank
    bioreactors. We achieve phage titers of up to 1.6 × 1014 plaque-forming units
    per mL. Downstream processing yields up to 410 mg of high-quality single-stranded
    DNA per one liter reaction volume, thus upgrading DNA origami-based nanotechnology
    from the milligram to the gram scale.

  text: In this paper we survey geometric and arithmetic techniques to study the cohomology
    of semiprojective hyperkähler manifolds including toric hyperkähler varieties,
    Nakajima quiver varieties and moduli spaces of Higgs bundles on Riemann surfaces.
    The resulting formulae for their Poincaré polynomials are combinatorial and representation
    theoretical in nature. In particular we will look at their Betti numbers and will
    establish some results and state some expectations on their asymptotic shape.

  text: Cryptographic access control offers selective access to encrypted data via
    a combination of key management and functionality-rich cryptographic schemes,
    such as attribute-based encryption. Using this approach, publicly available meta-data
    may inadvertently leak information on the access policy that is enforced by cryptography,
    which renders cryptographic access control unusable in settings where this information
    is highly sensitive. We begin to address this problem by presenting rigorous definitions
    for policy privacy in cryptographic access control. For concreteness we set our
    results in the model of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), where we identify and
    formalize several different flavors of privacy, however, our framework should
    serve as inspiration for other models of access control. Based on our insights
    we propose a new system which significantly improves on the privacy properties
    of state-of-the-art constructions. Our design is based on a novel type of privacy-preserving
    attribute-based encryption, which we introduce and show how to instantiate. We
    present our results in the context of a cryptographic RBAC system by Ferrara et
    al. (CSF'13), which uses cryptography to control read access to files, while write
    access is still delegated to trusted monitors. We give an extension of the construction
    that permits cryptographic control over write access. Our construction assumes
    that key management uses out-of-band channels between the policy enforcer and
    the users but eliminates completely the need for monitoring read/write access
    to the data.

  text: 'Simple board games, like Tic-Tac-Toe and CONNECT-4, play an important role
    not only in the development of mathematical and logical skills, but also in the
    emotional and social development. In this paper, we address the problem of generating
    targeted starting positions for such games. This can facilitate new approaches
    for bringing novice players to mastery, and also leads to discovery of interesting
    game variants. We present an approach that generates starting states of varying
    hardness levels for player 1 in a two-player board game, given rules of the board
    game, the desired number of steps required for player 1 to win, and the expertise
    levels of the two players. Our approach leverages symbolic methods and iterative
    simulation to efficiently search the extremely large state space. We present experimental
    results that include discovery of states of varying hardness levels for several
    simple grid-based board games. The presence of such states for standard game variants
    like 4×4 Tic-Tac-Toe opens up new games to be played that have never been played
    as the default start state is heavily biased. '

  text: Topological data analysis offers a rich source of valuable information to
    study vision problems. Yet, so far we lack a theoretically sound connection to
    popular kernel-based learning techniques, such as kernel SVMs or kernel PCA. In
    this work, we establish such a connection by designing a multi-scale kernel for
    persistence diagrams, a stable summary representation of topological features
    in data. We show that this kernel is positive definite and prove its stability
    with respect to the 1-Wasserstein distance. Experiments on two benchmark datasets
    for 3D shape classification/retrieval and texture recognition show considerable
    performance gains of the proposed method compared to an alternative approach that
    is based on the recently introduced persistence landscapes.

  text: Detecting allelic biases from high-throughput sequencing data requires an
    approach that maximises sensitivity while minimizing false positives. Here, we
    present Allelome.PRO, an automated user-friendly bioinformatics pipeline, which
    uses high-throughput sequencing data from reciprocal crosses of two genetically
    distinct mouse strains to detect allele-specific expression and chromatin modifications.
    Allelome.PRO extends approaches used in previous studies that exclusively analyzed
    imprinted expression to give a complete picture of the ‘allelome’ by automatically
    categorising the allelic expression of all genes in a given cell type into imprinted,
    strain-biased, biallelic or non-informative. Allelome.PRO offers increased sensitivity
    to analyze lowly expressed transcripts, together with a robust false discovery
    rate empirically calculated from variation in the sequencing data. We used RNA-seq
    data from mouse embryonic fibroblasts from F1 reciprocal crosses to determine
    a biologically relevant allelic ratio cutoff, and define for the first time an
    entire allelome. Furthermore, we show that Allelome.PRO detects differential enrichment
    of H3K4me3 over promoters from ChIP-seq data validating the RNA-seq results. This
    approach can be easily extended to analyze histone marks of active enhancers,
    or transcription factor binding sites and therefore provides a powerful tool to
    identify candidate cis regulatory elements genome wide.

  text: Fault-tolerant distributed algorithms play an important role in many critical/high-availability
    applications. These algorithms are notoriously difficult to implement correctly,
    due to asynchronous communication and the occurrence of faults, such as the network
    dropping messages or computers crashing. Nonetheless there is surprisingly little
    language and verification support to build distributed systems based on fault-tolerant
    algorithms. In this paper, we present some of the challenges that a designer has
    to overcome to implement a fault-tolerant distributed system. Then we review different
    models that have been proposed to reason about distributed algorithms and sketch
    how such a model can form the basis for a domain-specific programming language.
    Adopting a high-level programming model can simplify the programmer's life and
    make the code amenable to automated verification, while still compiling to efficiently
    executable code. We conclude by summarizing the current status of an ongoing language
    design and implementation project that is based on this idea.

  text: In this poster, we present methods for randomly generating hybrid automata
    with affine differential equations, invariants, guards, and assignments. Selecting
    an arbitrary affine function from the set of all affine functions results in a
    low likelihood of generating hybrid automata with diverse and interesting behaviors,
    as there are an uncountable number of elements in the set of all affine functions.
    Instead, we partition the set of all affine functions into potentially interesting
    classes and randomly select elements from these classes. For example, we partition
    the set of all affine differential equations by using restrictions on eigenvalues
    such as those that yield stable, unstable, etc. equilibrium points. We partition
    the components describing discrete behavior (guards, assignments, and invariants)
    to allow either time-dependent or state-dependent switching, and in particular
    provide the ability to generate subclasses of piecewise-affine hybrid automata.
    Our preliminary experimental results with a prototype tool called HyRG (Hybrid
    Random Generator) illustrate the feasibility of this generation method to automatically
    create standard hybrid automaton examples like the bouncing ball and thermostat.

  text: 'We consider Markov decision processes (MDPs) which are a standard model for
    probabilistic systems. We focus on qualitative properties for MDPs that can express
    that desired behaviors of the system arise almost-surely (with probability 1)
    or with positive probability. We introduce a new simulation relation to capture
    the refinement relation of MDPs with respect to qualitative properties, and present
    discrete graph algorithms with quadratic complexity to compute the simulation
    relation. We present an automated technique for assume-guarantee style reasoning
    for compositional analysis of two-player games by giving a counterexample guided
    abstraction-refinement approach to compute our new simulation relation. We show
    a tight link between two-player games and MDPs, and as a consequence the results
    for games are lifted to MDPs with qualitative properties. We have implemented
    our algorithms and show that the compositional analysis leads to significant improvements. '

  text: We extend the theory of input-output conformance with operators for merge
    and quotient. The former is useful when testing against multiple requirements
    or views. The latter can be used to generate tests for patches of an already tested
    system. Both operators can combine systems with different action alphabets, which
    is usually the case when constructing complex systems and specifications from
    parts, for instance different views as well as newly defined functionality of
    a~previous version of the system.

  text: A Herman-Avila-Bochi type formula is obtained for the average sum of the top
    d Lyapunov exponents over a one-parameter family of double-struck G-cocycles,
    where double-struck G is the group that leaves a certain, non-degenerate Hermitian
    form of signature (c, d) invariant. The generic example of such a group is the
    pseudo-unitary group U(c, d) or, in the case c = d, the Hermitian-symplectic group
    HSp(2d) which naturally appears for cocycles related to Schrödinger operators.
    In the case d = 1, the formula for HSp(2d) cocycles reduces to the Herman-Avila-Bochi
    formula for SL(2, ℝ) cocycles.

  text: Let Q = (Q1, . . . , Qn) be a random vector drawn from the uniform distribution
    on the set of all n! permutations of {1, 2, . . . , n}. Let Z = (Z1, . . . , Zn),
    where Zj is the mean zero variance one random variable obtained by centralizing
    and normalizing Qj , j = 1, . . . , n. Assume that Xi , i = 1, . . . ,p are i.i.d.
    copies of 1/√ p Z and X = Xp,n is the p × n random matrix with Xi as its ith row.
    Then Sn = XX is called the p × n Spearman's rank correlation matrix which can
    be regarded as a high dimensional extension of the classical nonparametric statistic
    Spearman's rank correlation coefficient between two independent random variables.
    In this paper, we establish a CLT for the linear spectral statistics of this nonparametric
    random matrix model in the scenario of high dimension, namely, p = p(n) and p/n→c
    ∈ (0,∞) as n→∞.We propose a novel evaluation scheme to estimate the core quantity
    in Anderson and Zeitouni's cumulant method in [Ann. Statist. 36 (2008) 2553-2576]
    to bypass the so-called joint cumulant summability. In addition, we raise a two-step
    comparison approach to obtain the explicit formulae for the mean and covariance
    functions in the CLT. Relying on this CLT, we then construct a distribution-free
    statistic to test complete independence for components of random vectors. Owing
    to the nonparametric property, we can use this test on generally distributed random
    variables including the heavy-tailed ones.

  text: This paper is aimed at deriving the universality of the largest eigenvalue
    of a class of high-dimensional real or complex sample covariance matrices of the
    form W N =Σ 1/2XX∗Σ 1/2 . Here, X = (xij )M,N is an M× N random matrix with independent
    entries xij , 1 ≤ i M,≤ 1 ≤ j ≤ N such that Exij = 0, E|xij |2 = 1/N . On dimensionality,
    we assume that M = M(N) and N/M → d ε (0, ∞) as N ∞→. For a class of general deterministic
    positive-definite M × M matrices Σ , under some additional assumptions on the
    distribution of xij 's, we show that the limiting behavior of the largest eigenvalue
    of W N is universal, via pursuing a Green function comparison strategy raised
    in [Probab. Theory Related Fields 154 (2012) 341-407, Adv. Math. 229 (2012) 1435-1515]
    by Erd″os, Yau and Yin for Wigner matrices and extended by Pillai and Yin [Ann.
    Appl. Probab. 24 (2014) 935-1001] to sample covariance matrices in the null case
    (&amp;Epsi = I ). Consequently, in the standard complex case (Ex2 ij = 0), combing
    this universality property and the results known for Gaussian matrices obtained
    by El Karoui in [Ann. Probab. 35 (2007) 663-714] (nonsingular case) and Onatski
    in [Ann. Appl. Probab. 18 (2008) 470-490] (singular case), we show that after
    an appropriate normalization the largest eigenvalue of W N converges weakly to
    the type 2 Tracy-Widom distribution TW2 . Moreover, in the real case, we show
    that whenΣ is spiked with a fixed number of subcritical spikes, the type 1 Tracy-Widom
    limit TW1 holds for the normalized largest eigenvalue of W N , which extends a
    result of Féral and Péché in [J. Math. Phys. 50 (2009) 073302] to the scenario
    of nondiagonal Σ and more generally distributed X . In summary, we establish the
    Tracy-Widom type universality for the largest eigenvalue of generally distributed
    sample covariance matrices under quite light assumptions on &amp;Sigma . Applications
    of these limiting results to statistical signal detection and structure recognition
    of separable covariance matrices are also discussed.

  text: Consider the square random matrix An = (aij)n,n, where {aij:= a(n)ij , i,
    j = 1, . . . , n} is a collection of independent real random variables with means
    zero and variances one. Under the additional moment condition supn max1≤i,j ≤n
    Ea4ij &lt;∞, we prove Girko's logarithmic law of det An in the sense that as n→∞
    log | detAn| ? (1/2) log(n-1)! d/→√(1/2) log n N(0, 1).

  text: We consider generalized Wigner ensembles and general β-ensembles with analytic
    potentials for any β ≥ 1. The recent universality results in particular assert
    that the local averages of consecutive eigenvalue gaps in the bulk of the spectrum
    are universal in the sense that they coincide with those of the corresponding
    Gaussian β-ensembles. In this article, we show that local averaging is not necessary
    for this result, i.e. we prove that the single gap distributions in the bulk are
    universal. In fact, with an additional step, our result can be extended to any
    C4(ℝ) potential.
