A diverse, overlooked population of Type Ia supernovae exhibiting mid-infrared signatures of delayed circumstellar interaction

Kavli Affiliate: Nathan P. Lourie | First 5 Authors: Geoffrey Mo, Kishalay De, Eli Wiston, Nayana A. J., Raffaella Margutti | Summary: Type Ia supernovae arise from the thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs in multiple star systems. A rare sub-class of SNe Ia exhibit signatures of interaction with circumstellar material (CSM), allowing for direct constraints […]

A diverse, overlooked population of Type Ia supernovae exhibiting mid-infrared signatures of delayed circumstellar interaction

Kavli Affiliate: Nathan P. Lourie | Summary:Type Ia supernovae arise from the thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs in multiple star systems. A rare sub-class of SNe Ia exhibit signatures of interaction with circumstellar material (CSM), allowing for direct constraints on companion material. While most known events show evidence for dense nearby CSM identified via peak-light […]

Adaptive L-statistics for high dimensional test problem

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Long| Summary: In this study, we focus on applying L-statistics to the high-dimensional one-sample location test problem. Intuitively, an L-statistic with $k$ parameters tends to perform optimally when the sparsity level of the alternative hypothesis matches $k$. We begin by deriving the limiting distributions for both L-statistics with fixed parameters and those […]

Independently-Normalized SGD for Generalized-Smooth Nonconvex Optimization

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Yufeng Yang, Erin Tripp, Yifan Sun, Shaofeng Zou, Yi Zhou | Summary: Recent studies have shown that many nonconvex machine learning problems meet a so-called generalized-smooth condition that extends beyond traditional smooth nonconvex optimization. However, the existing algorithms designed for generalized-smooth nonconvex optimization encounter significant limitations in […]

Adaptive Gradient Normalization and Independent Sampling for (Stochastic) Generalized-Smooth Optimization

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Yufeng Yang, Yufeng Yang, , , | Summary: Recent studies have shown that many nonconvex machine learning problems satisfy a generalized-smooth condition that extends beyond traditional smooth nonconvex optimization. However, the existing algorithms are not fully adapted to such generalized-smooth nonconvex geometry and encounter significant technical limitations […]
