Sparse representation over redundant dictionaries constitutes a good model for many classes of signals (e.g., patches of natural images, segments of speech signals, etc.). However, despite its popularity, very little is known about the…
Scattering and production amplitudes involving scalar resonances are known, according to Watson's theorem, to share the same phase $\delta(s)$. We show that, at low energies, the production amplitude is fully determined by the combination…

Hidden variable graphical models can sometimes imply constraints on the observable distribution that are more complex than simple conditional independence relations. These observable constraints can falsify assumptions of the model that…
