Resultants are getting increasingly important in modern theoretical physics: they appear whenever one deals with non-linear (polynomial) equations, with non-quadratic forms or with non-Gaussian integrals. Being a subject of more than…
Hadamard's maximal determinant problem consists in finding the maximal value of the determinant of a square $n\times n$ matrix whose entries are plus or minus ones. This is a difficult mathematical problem which is not yet solved. In the…
Linear-time computational techniques have been developed for combining evidence which is available on a number of contending hypotheses. They offer a means of making the computation-intensive calculations involved more efficient in certain…
For a nonlinear ordinary differential equation with time delay, the differentiation of the solution with respect to the delay is investigated. Special emphasis is laid on the second-order derivative. The results are applied to an associated…
We argue that explanations for "algorithmic decision-making" (ADM) systems can profit by adopting practices that are already used in the learning sciences. We shortly introduce the importance of explaining ADM systems, give a brief overview…
In this note, basing on a certain functional equation of the dilogarithm function, we establish nontrivial lower bounds for the $p$-adic valuation (where $p$ is a given prime number) of some type of rational numbers involving harmonic…
The purpose of this paper is three-fold: first, we survey on several known pointwise identities involving fractional operators; second, we propose a unified way to deal with those identities; third, we prove some new pointwise identities in…
Classification of datasets into two or more distinct classes is an important machine learning task. Many methods are able to classify binary classification tasks with a very high accuracy on test data, but cannot provide any easily…
In this work, we argue for the importance of causal reasoning in creating fair algorithms for decision making. We give a review of existing approaches to fairness, describe work in causality necessary for the understanding of causal…
Machines are being increasingly used in decision-making processes, resulting in the realization that decisions need explanations. Unfortunately, an increasing number of these deployed models are of a 'black-box' nature where the reasoning…
Determinants of structured matrices play a fundamental role in both pure and applied mathematics, with wide-ranging applications in linear algebra, combinatorics, coding theory, and numerical analysis. In this work, the enumeration of…
In this paper, we propose various sufficient conditions to determine if a given real number is an irrational number or a transcendental number and also apply these conditions to some interesting examples, particularly,one of them comes from…
This paper describes measures for evaluating the three determinants of how well a probabilistic classifier performs on a given test set. These determinants are the appropriateness, for the test set, of the results of (1) feature selection,…
One of the aims of this paper is to provide a short survey on the Z2-graded, the symmetric and the left (right) generalizations of the classical determinant theory for square matrices with entries in an arbitrary (possibly non-commutative)…
A number of exciting advances have been made in automated fact-checking thanks to increasingly larger datasets and more powerful systems, leading to improvements in the complexity of claims which can be accurately fact-checked. However,…
The advent of machine learning techniques has made it possible to obtain predictive systems that have overturned traditional legal practices. However, rather than leading to systems seeking to replace humans, the search for the determinants…
An efficient coordinate-free notation is elucidated for differentiating matrix expressions and other functions between higher-dimensional vector spaces. This method of differentiation is known, but not explained well, in the literature.…
High-Dimensional Dynamic Factor Models are presented in detail: The main assumptions and their motivation, main results, illustrations by means of elementary examples. In particular, the role of singular ARMA models in the theory and…
There has been increasing interest in recent years in the development of approaches to estimate causal effects when the number of potential confounders is prohibitively large. This growth in interest has led to a number of potential…
These notes are the second part of the tensor calculus documents which started with the previous set of introductory. In the present text, we continue the discussion of selected topics of the subject at a higher level expanding, when…
