Progressive Stochastic Binarization of Deep Networks
2019
A plethora of recent research has focused on improving the memory footprint and inference speed of deep networks by reducing the complexity of (i) numerical representations (for example, by deterministic or stochastic quantization) and (ii) arithmetic operations (for example, by binarization of weights). We propose a stochastic binarization scheme for deep networks that allows for efficient inference on hardware by restricting itself to additions of small integers and fixed shifts. Unlike previous approaches, the underlying randomized approximation is progressive, thus permitting an adaptive control of the accuracy of each operation at run-time. In a low-precision setting, we match the accu…
One-Loop Two and Three-Point Functions
2015
In this chapter we present a few relevant calculations of one-loop, one and two-point (scalar, vector and tensor) functions. IR and UV divergences are extensively treated. One example of IR-pole cancellation is presented. The two and three-body phase space integrals in D dimensions, needed for the calculation of IR divergent cross sections are also given. Last, the usage of the generic parametrization ( 6.27) for non-integer powers of propagators (which appear when one needs to integrate over the four-momentum, logarithmic functions that depend on the four-momentum) is shown with a simple two-loop example. With the tools given here, the reader should find straightforward to construct any hi…
Large-N kinetic theory for highly occupied systems
2018
We consider an effective kinetic description for quantum many-body systems, which is not based on a weak-coupling or diluteness expansion. Instead, it employs an expansion in the number of field components N of the underlying scalar quantum field theory. Extending previous studies, we demonstrate that the large-N kinetic theory at next-to-leading order is able to describe important aspects of highly occupied systems, which are beyond standard perturbative kinetic approaches. We analyze the underlying quasiparticle dynamics by computing the effective scattering matrix elements analytically and solve numerically the large-N kinetic equation for a highly occupied system far from equilibrium. T…
Pair potential calculation of molecular associations: a vectorized version
1991
Abstract The program AMYRVF is a vectorized and largely modified version of a previous program called AMYR for calculating molecular associations by means of Fraga's pair-wise atom-atom potential. Three new minimization procedures have been implemented as well as other improvements such as the inclusion of new pair-wise dispersion energy terms with damping functions, and the calculation of topological indices. Benchmark tests have been carried out on an IBM 3090 150E VF; the timings for the new vector algorithms and for the standard scalar computations, as well as the dependence of the overall performance gain on the size of interacting systems are reported for the VS Fortran 2.4 compiler e…
A ‘TVD-like’ Scheme for Conservation Laws with Source Terms
2008
The theoretical foundations of high-resolution TVD schemes for homogeneous scalar conservation laws and linear systems of conservation laws have been firmly established through the work of Harten [5], Sweby [11], and Roe [9]. These TVD schemes seek to prevent an increase in the total variation of the numerical solution, and are successfully implemented in the form of flux-limiters or slope limiters for scalar conservation laws and systems. However, their application to conservation laws with source terms is still not fully developed. In this work we analyze the properties of a second order, flux-limited version of the Lax-Wendroff scheme preserving steady states [3]. Our technique is based …
Unifying prospective and retrospective interval-time estimation: A fading-Gaussian activation-based model of interval-timing
2014
International audience; Hass and Hermann (2012) have shown that only variance-based processes will lead to the scalar growth of error that is characteristic of human time judgments. Secondly, a major meta-review of over one hundred studies (Block et al., 2010) reveals a striking interaction between the way in which temporal judgments are queried and cognitive load on participants’ judgments of interval duration. For retrospective time judgments, estimates under high cognitive load are longer than under low cognitive load. For prospective judgments, the reverse pattern holds, with increased cognitive load leading to shorter estimates. We describe GAMIT, a Gaussian spreading-activation model,…
On nonimmersibility of compact hypersurfaces into a ball of a simply connected space form
1996
We give a nonimmersibility theorem of a compact manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature bounded from above into a geodesic ball of a simply connected space form.
A Quantitative Analysis of Metrics on Rn with Almost Constant Positive Scalar Curvature, with Applications to Fast Diffusion Flows
2017
We prove a quantitative structure theorem for metrics on $\mathbf{R}^n$ that are conformal to the flat metric, have almost constant positive scalar curvature, and cannot concentrate more than one bubble. As an application of our result, we show a quantitative rate of convergence in relative entropy for a fast diffusion equation in $\mathbf{R}^n$ related to the Yamabe flow.
Constraints on exotic spin-dependent interactions between electrons from helium fine-structure spectroscopy
2017
Agreement between theoretical calculations of atomic structure and spectroscopic measurements is used to constrain possible contribution of exotic spin-dependent interactions between electrons to the energy differences between states in helium-4. In particular, constraints on dipole-dipole interactions associated with the exchange of pseudoscalar bosons (such as axions or axion-like particles) with masses ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}2}\ensuremath{\lesssim}m\ensuremath{\lesssim}{10}^{4}\mathrm{eV}$ are improved by a factor of $\ensuremath{\sim}100$. The first atomic-scale constraints on several exotic velocity-dependent dipole-dipole interactions are established as well.
