We answer an open question in the theory of transducer degrees initially posed in [1] on the existence of a diamond structure in the transducer hierarchy. Transducer degrees are the equivalence classes formed by word transformations which…

Our purpose in this paper is to study when a planar differential system polynomial in one variable linearizes in the sense that it has an inverse integrating factor which can be constructed by means of the solutions of linear differential…

To solve a new task from minimal experience, it is essential to effectively reuse knowledge from previous tasks, a problem known as meta-learning. Compositional solutions, where common elements of computation are flexibly recombined into…

Transducers generalise automata by producing output word(s) for each input word, thereby defining a relation over words. A transducer is said to be finite-valued if, for every input word, it produces at most $k$ output words, for some…

This paper concerns the twice epi-differentiability and parabolic regularity of a class of non-amenable functions, the composition of a piecewise twice differentiable (PWTD) function and a parabolically semidifferentiable mapping. Such…

High dimensional data can have a surprising property: pairs of data points may be easily separated from each other, or even from arbitrary subsets, with high probability using just simple linear classifiers. However, this is more of a rule…

Diffusion models are a remarkably effective way of learning and sampling from a distribution $p(x)$. In posterior sampling, one is also given a measurement model $p(y \mid x)$ and a measurement $y$, and would like to sample from $p(x \mid…

Bidirectional typechecking, in which terms either synthesize a type or are checked against a known type, has become popular for its scalability (unlike Damas-Milner type inference, bidirectional typing remains decidable even for very…

Reversible systems feature both forward computations and backward computations, where the latter undo the effects of the former in a causally consistent manner. The compositionality properties and equational characterizations of strong and…

We study a nonlinear decomposition of a positive definite matrix into two components: the inverse of another positive definite matrix and a symmetric matrix constrained to lie in a prescribed linear subspace. Equivalently, the inverse…

We consider a stack sorting algorithm where only the appropriate output values are popped from the stack and then any remaining entries in the stack are run through the stack in reverse order. We identify the basis for the $2$-reverse pass…
