We address the problem of temporal action localization in videos. We pose action localization as a structured prediction over arbitrary-length temporal windows, where each window is scored as the sum of frame-wise classification scores.…
Conjugation, or Legendre transformation, is a basic tool in convex analysis, rational mechanics, economics and optimization. It maps a function on a linear topological space into another one, defined in the dual of the linear space by…
We introduce toric arrangements, essentially finite families of codimension 1 subtori of a torus or of their cosets, as a periodic generalization of hyperplane arrangements, compute cohomology of the complement of such an arrangement and…
We define a natural topology on the collection of (equivalence classes up to scaling of) locally finite measures on a homogeneous space and prove that in this topology, pushforwards of certain infinite volume orbits equidistribute in the…
We study the process of compactification as a topology change. It is shown how the mediating spacetime topology, or cobordism, may be simplified through surgery. Within the causal Lorentzian approach to quantum gravity, it is shown that any…
Since its introduction in 1995 by Li-Tian and Behrend-Fantechi, the theory of virtual fundamental class has played a key role in algebraic geometry, defining important invariants such as the Gromov-Witten invariant and the Donaldson-Thomas…
In order to gain a better understanding of the state space of programs, with the aim of making their verification more tractable, models based on directed topological spaces have been introduced, allowing to take in account equivalence…
We introduce a notion of equivalence on tilings which is formulated in terms of their local structure. We compare it with the known concept of locally deriving one tiling from another and show that two tilings of finite type are…
We continue our study of when topological and measure-theoretic entropy agree for algebraic action of sofic groups. Specifically, we provide a new abstract method to prove that an algebraic action is strongly sofic. The method is based on…
We study sums of locally dependent scores associated with general marked (i.e., labeled) Euclidean point processes. We introduce geometric mixing conditions on the underlying point process and a Lipschitz-"localization" condition on the…
Accurate localization in diverse environments is a fundamental challenge in computer vision and robotics. The task involves determining a sensor's precise position and orientation, typically a camera, within a given space. Traditional…
In this article, we provide an exposition about symplectic toric manifolds, which are symplectic manifolds $(M^{2n}, \omega)$ equipped with an effective Hamiltonian $\mathbb{T}^n\cong (S^1)^n$-action. We summarize the construction of $M$ as…
Framed combinatorial topology is a novel theory describing combinatorial phenomena arising at the intersection of stratified topology, singularity theory, and higher algebra. The theory synthesizes elements of classical combinatorial…
Let $X$ be a projective variety with a torus action, which for simplicity we assume to have dimension 1. If $X$ is a smooth complex variety, then the geometric invariant theory quotient $X//G$ can be identifed with the symplectic reduction…
Numerical integration over the implicitly defined domains is challenging due to topological variances of implicit functions. In this paper, we use interval arithmetic to identify the boundary of the integration domain exactly, thus getting…

Worldwide geo-localization involves determining the exact geographic location of images captured globally, typically guided by geographic cues such as climate, landmarks, and architectural styles. Despite advancements in geo-localization…
Using the theory of group action, we first introduce the concept of the automorphism group of an exponential family or a graphical model, thus formalizing the general notion of symmetry of a probabilistic model. This automorphism group…

We define a fixed point action in two-dimensional lattice ${\rm CP}^{N-1}$ models. The fixed point action is a classical perfect lattice action, which is expected to show strongly reduced cutoff effects in numerical simulations.…
