In a decentralized machine learning system, data is typically partitioned among multiple devices or nodes, each of which trains a local model using its own data. These local models are then shared and combined to create a global model that…

The present paradigm in design and modelling of lattice architected mechanical metamaterials is mostly limited to traditional numerical methods like finite element analysis. Recently, the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence…

Many materials contain extended defects of nanosize scale, such as dislocations, cracks, pores, polymorphic inclusions, and other embryos of competing phases. When one is interested not in the precise internal structure of a sample with…

Structural disorder can improve the optical properties of metasurfaces, whether it is emerging from some large-scale fabrication methods, or explicitly designed and built lithographically. Correlated disorder, induced by a minimum…

We study the asymptotic nature of geometric structures formed from a point cloud of observations of (generally heavy tailed) distributions in a Euclidean space of dimension greater than one. A typical example is given by the Betti numbers…
