Random samples are extensively used to summarize massive data sets and facilitate scalable analytics. Coordinated sampling, where samples of different data sets "share" the randomization, is a powerful method which facilitates more accurate…
The polarizable embedding (PE) approach is a flexible embedding model where a pre-selected region out of a larger system is described quantum mechanically while the interaction with the surrounding environment is modeled through an…
Let $M$ be a complete Riemannian manifold, $N\in \NN$ and $p\ge 1$. We prove that almost everywhere on $x=(x_1,...,x_N)\in M^N$ for Lebesgue measure in $M^N$, the measure $\di \mu(x)=\f1N\sum_{k=1}^N\d_{x_k}$ has a unique $p$-mean $e_p(x)$.…
Reconstruction of sets from a random sample of points intimately related to them is the goal of set estimation theory. Within this context, a particular problem is the one related with the reconstruction of density level sets and…
The weight decay regularization term is widely used during training to constrain expressivity, avoid overfitting, and improve generalization. Historically, this concept was borrowed from the SVM maximum margin principle and extended to…
Folded sampling replaces clipping in analog-to-digital converters by reducing samples modulo a threshold, thereby avoiding saturation artifacts. We study the reconstruction of bandlimited functions from folded samples and show that, for…

Shape restriction, like monotonicity or convexity, imposed on a function of interest, such as a regression or density function, allows for its estimation without smoothness assumptions. The concept of $k$-monotonicity encompasses a family…
Fusing and balancing multi-modal inputs from novel sensors for dense prediction tasks, particularly semantic segmentation, is critically important yet remains a significant challenge. One major limitation is the tendency of multi-modal…
