The common approaches were proposed for cases in which prior knowledge is desired, when the impact of a ...

Title: Computation of Ground States of the Gross-Pitaevskii Functional via Riemannian Optimization, Abstract: In this paper we combine concepts from Riemannian Optimization and the theory of Sobolev gradients to derive a new conjugate gradient method for direct minimization of the Gross-Pitaevskii energy functional wit...

Title: On the symplectic size of convex polytopes, Abstract: In this paper we introduce a combinatorial formula for the Ekeland-Hofer-Zehnder capacity of a convex polytope in $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$. One application of this formula is a certain subadditivity property of this capacity.

Title: A Fully Convolutional Neural Network Approach to End-to-End Speech Enhancement, Abstract: This paper will describe a novel approach to the cocktail party problem that relies on a fully convolutional neural network (FCN) architecture. The FCN takes noisy audio data as input and performs nonlinear, filtering opera...

Title: Tunnelling Spectroscopy of Andreev States in Graphene, Abstract: A normal conductor placed in good contact with a superconductor can inherit its remarkable electronic properties. This proximity effect microscopically originates from the formation in the conductor of entangled electron-hole states, called Andreev...

Title: Volatility estimation for stochastic PDEs using high-frequency observations, Abstract: We study the parameter estimation for parabolic, linear, second order, stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) observing a mild solution on a discrete grid in time and space. A high-frequency regime is considered whe...

Title: A Conic Integer Programming Approach to Constrained Assortment Optimization under the Mixed Multinomial Logit Model, Abstract: We consider the constrained assortment optimization problem under the mixed multinomial logit model. Even moderately sized instances of this problem are challenging to solve directly usi...
