Title: Towards Scalable Spectral Clustering via Spectrum-Preserving Sparsification, Abstract: The eigendeomposition of nearest-neighbor (NN) graph Laplacian matrices is the main computational bottleneck in spectral clustering. In this work, we introduce a highly-scalable, spectrum-preserving graph sparsification algori...

Title: Deep-Learnt Classification of Light Curves, Abstract: Astronomy light curves are sparse, gappy, and heteroscedastic. As a result standard time series methods regularly used for financial and similar datasets are of little help and astronomers are usually left to their own instruments and techniques to classify l...

Title: Bulk crystalline optomechanics, Abstract: Brillouin processes couple light and sound through optomechanical three-wave interactions. Within bulk solids, this coupling is mediated by the intrinsic photo-elastic material response yielding coherent emission of high frequency (GHz) acoustic phonons. This same intera...

Title: Swift Linked Data Miner: Mining OWL 2 EL class expressions directly from online RDF datasets, Abstract: In this study, we present Swift Linked Data Miner, an interruptible algorithm that can directly mine an online Linked Data source (e.g., a SPARQL endpoint) for OWL 2 EL class expressions to extend an ontology ...

Title: Political Footprints: Political Discourse Analysis using Pre-Trained Word Vectors, Abstract: In this paper, we discuss how machine learning could be used to produce a systematic and more objective political discourse analysis. Political footprints are vector space models (VSMs) applied to political discourse. Ea...

Title: Predicting the Quality of Short Narratives from Social Media, Abstract: An important and difficult challenge in building computational models for narratives is the automatic evaluation of narrative quality. Quality evaluation connects narrative understanding and generation as generation systems need to evaluate ...

Title: Fast Approximate Natural Gradient Descent in a Kronecker-factored Eigenbasis, Abstract: Optimization algorithms that leverage gradient covariance information, such as variants of natural gradient descent (Amari, 1998), offer the prospect of yielding more effective descent directions. For models with many paramet...

Title: Detecting Casimir torque with an optically levitated nanorod, Abstract: The linear momentum and angular momentum of virtual photons of quantum vacuum fluctuations can induce the Casimir force and the Casimir torque, respectively. While the Casimir force has been measured extensively, the Casimir torque has not b...
