Valley hydrodynamics in gapped graphene

Kavli Affiliate: Mamoru Matsuo | First 5 Authors: Ryotaro Sano, Daigo Oue, Mamoru Matsuo, , | Summary: Recent experiments have revealed that novel nonequilibrium states consistent with the hydrodynamic description of electrons are realized in ultrapure graphene, which hosts the valley degrees of freedom. Here, we formulate a theory of electron hydrodynamics including dissipation processes […]

Anti-chiral order and spin reorientation transitions of triangle-based antiferromagnets

Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Leon Balents, , , , | Summary: We show that triangle-based antiferromagnets with "anti-chiral" order display a non-trivial dependence of the spin orientation with an in-plane field. The spins evolve from rotating in the opposite sense to the field at very low fields to rotating in the […]

Data Sampling Affects the Complexity of Online SGD over Dependent Data

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Shaocong Ma, Ziyi Chen, Yi Zhou, Kaiyi Ji, Yingbin Liang | Summary: Conventional machine learning applications typically assume that data samples are independently and identically distributed (i.i.d.). However, practical scenarios often involve a data-generating process that produces highly dependent data samples, which are known to heavily bias […]

A Fast and Convergent Proximal Algorithm for Regularized Nonconvex and Nonsmooth Bi-level Optimization

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Ziyi Chen, Bhavya Kailkhura, Yi Zhou, , | Summary: Many important machine learning applications involve regularized nonconvex bi-level optimization. However, the existing gradient-based bi-level optimization algorithms cannot handle nonconvex or nonsmooth regularizers, and they suffer from a high computation complexity in nonconvex bi-level optimization. In this work, […]

Decoupled Multi-task Learning with Cyclical Self-Regulation for Face Parsing

Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Qingping Zheng, Jiankang Deng, Zheng Zhu, Ying Li, Stefanos Zafeiriou | Summary: This paper probes intrinsic factors behind typical failure cases (e.g. spatial inconsistency and boundary confusion) produced by the existing state-of-the-art method in face parsing. To tackle these problems, we propose a novel Decoupled Multi-task Learning […]
