In this paper, we study the Pontryagin numbers of $24$ dimensional String manifolds. In particular, we find representatives of an integral basis of the String cobrodism group at dimension $24$, based on the work of Mahowald-Hopkins \cite{MH02}, Borel...
This paper investigates the problem of efficient constrained global optimization of hybrid models that are a composition of a known white-box function and an expensive multi-output black-box function subject to noisy observations, which often arises...
People can manipulate emotion expressions when interacting with others. For example, acted anger can be expressed when stimuli is not genuinely angry with an aim to manipulate the observer. In this paper, we aim to examine if the veracity of anger ca...
Although anger is an important emotion that underlies much overt aggression at great social cost, little is known about how to quantify anger or to specify the relationship between anger and the overt behaviors that express it. This paper proposes...
Providing physical-layer security for mobile users in future broadband wireless networks is of both theoretical and practical importance. In this paper, we formulate an analytical framework for resource allocation in a downlink OFDMA-based broadband...
Code for the paper "Large-Scale Study of Curiosity-Driven Learning" (⭐ 831)
This paper explores special conditions on the starting value of a Collatz sequence which imply that the Collatz conjecture is true. This is the result of the collaboration of a retired mathematics professor (Koelzer) and a retired physics professor (...
Consensus protocols are the foundation for building many fault-tolerant distributed systems and services. This paper posits that there are significant performance benefits to be gained by offering consensus as a network service (CAANS). CAANS leverag...
In a landmark 1981 paper, Valiant and Brebner gave birth to the study of oblivious routing and, simultaneously, introduced its most powerful and ubiquitous method: Valiant load balancing (VLB). By routing messages through a randomly sampled intermedi...
Single-elimination (SE) tournaments are a popular format used in competitive environments and decision making. Algorithms for SE tournament manipulation have been an active topic of research in recent years. In this paper, we initiate the algorithmic...
In this paper, we prove the strong normalisation for Martin-Löf's Logical Framework, and suggest that {}``correct arity'', a condition weaker than well-typedness, will also guarantee the strong normalisation....
Code and datasets for the paper "Humor Detection: A Transformer Gets the Last Laugh" (⭐ 83)
Code for ICCV 2021 paper "HuMoR: 3D Human Motion Model for Robust Pose Estimation" (⭐ 569)
3D object detection is a central task for applications such as autonomous driving, in which the system needs to localize and classify surrounding traffic agents, even in the presence of adverse weather. In this paper, we address the problem of LiDAR-...
This paper gives particular emphasis to the nabla tempered fractional calculus, which involves the multiplication of the rising function kernel with tempered functions, and provides a more flexible alternative with considerable promise for practical...
In this paper, we introduce the nabla fractional derivative and fractional integral on time scales in the Riemann-Liouville sense. We also introduce the nabla fractional derivative in Grünwald-Letnikov sense. Some of the basic properties and theorem...
Pebble games are single-player games on DAGs involving placing and moving pebbles on nodes of the graph according to a certain set of rules. The goal is to pebble a set of target nodes using a minimum number of pebbles. In this paper, we present a po...
This paper studies the decision making problem with Funnel Structure. Funnel structure, a well-known concept in the marketing field, occurs in those systems where the decision maker interacts with the environment in a layered manner receiving far few...
This paper explores the automatic knowledge extraction of formal institutional design - norms, rules, and actors - from international agreements. The focus was to analyze the relationship between the visibility and centrality of actors in the formal...
In this paper, we present new image segmentation methods based on hidden Markov random fields (HMRFs) and cuckoo search (CS) variants. HMRFs model the segmentation problem as a minimization of an energy function. CS algorithm is one of the recent pow...
