We provide a novel computer-assisted technique for systematically analyzing first-order methods for optimization. In contrast with previous works, the approach is particularly suited for handling sublinear convergence rates and stochastic…

The subspace method is one of the mainstream system identification method of linear systems, and its basic idea is to estimate the system parameter matrices by projecting them into a subspace related to input and output. However, most of…

The use of patterns in predictive models is a topic that has received a lot of attention in recent years. Pattern mining can help to obtain models for structured domains, such as graphs and sequences, and has been proposed as a means to…

Since more than three decades, interior-point methods proved very useful for optimization, from linear over semidefinite to conic (and partly beyond non-convex) programming; despite the fact that already in the semidefinite case (even when…

We study machine learning formulations of inductive program synthesis; given input-output examples, we try to synthesize source code that maps inputs to corresponding outputs. Our aims are to develop new machine learning approaches based on…

We present a first-order theorem proving framework for establishing the correctness of functional programs implementing sorting algorithms with recursive data structures. We formalize the semantics of recursive programs in many-sorted…

We propose Nester, a method for injecting neural networks into constrained structured predictors. The job of the neural network(s) is to compute an initial, raw prediction that is compatible with the input data but does not necessarily…

In order to give appropriate semantics to qualitative conditionals of the form "if A then normally B", ordinal conditional functions (OCFs) ranking the possible worlds according to their degree of plausibility can be used. An OCF accepting…

Predictive coding has emerged as an influential normative model of neural computation, with numerous extensions and applications. As such, much effort has been put into mapping PC faithfully onto the cortex, but there are issues that remain…

This paper aims at providing extremely efficient algorithms for approximate query enumeration on sparse databases, that come with performance and accuracy guarantees. We introduce a new model for approximate query enumeration on classes of…

We establish a computation-substrate-agnostic inference architecture in which domain is an explicit first-class computational parameter. This produces domain-scoped pruning that reduces per-query search space from O(N) to O(N/K),…

This paper describes a computational, declarative approach to prosodic morphology that uses inviolable constraints to denote small finite candidate sets which are filtered by a restrictive incremental optimization mechanism. The new…

The main focus of this paper is a pair of new approximation algorithms for certain integer programs. First, for covering integer programs {min cx: Ax >= b, 0 <= x <= d} where A has at most k nonzeroes per row, we give a k-approximation…

Product Lines (PL) have proved an effective approach to reuse-based systems development. Several modeling languages were proposed so far to specify PL. Although they can be very different, these languages show two common features: they…

Mixed integer linear programming (MILP) is a powerful representation often used to formulate decision-making problems under uncertainty. However, it lacks a natural mechanism to reason about objects, classes of objects, and relations.…

This paper addresses two central problems for probabilistic processing models: parameter estimation from incomplete data and efficient retrieval of most probable analyses. These questions have been answered satisfactorily only for…

We give a domain-theoretic semantics to a statistical programming language, using the plain old category of dcpos, in contrast to some more sophisticated recent proposals. Remarkably, our monad of minimal valuations is commutative, which…

Thanks to computing power increase, the certification and the conception of complex systems relies more and more on simulation. To this end, predictive codes are needed, which have generally to be evaluated in a huge number of input points.…

We propose a method to reduce the computational effort to solve a partial differential equation on a given domain. The main idea is to split the domain of interest in two subdomains, and to use different approximation methods in each of the…

A methodology for using random sketching in the context of model order reduction for high-dimensional parameter-dependent systems of equations was introduced in [Balabanov and Nouy 2019, Part I]. Following this framework, we here construct…
