The first linear programming bound of McEliece, Rodemich, Rumsey, and Welch is the best known asymptotic upper bound for binary codes, for a certain subrange of distances. Starting from the work of Friedman and Tillich, there are, by now, some arguably easier and more direct arguments for this bound. We show that this more recent line of argument runs into certain difficulties if one tries to go beyond this bound (say, towards the second linear programming bound of McEliece, Rodemich, Rumsey, and Welch).

This work introduces a stabilised finite element formulation for the Stokes flow problem with a nonlinear slip boundary condition of friction type. The boundary condition is enforced with the help of an additional Lagrange multiplier and the stabilised formulation is based on simultaneously stabilising both the pressure and the Lagrange multiplier. We establish the stability and the a priori error analyses, and perform a numerical convergence study in order to verify the theory.

In this work we propose a method to perform optimization on manifolds. We assume to have an objective function $f$ defined on a manifold and think of it as the potential energy of a mechanical system. By adding a momentum-dependent kinetic energy we define its Hamiltonian function, which allows us to write the corresponding Hamiltonian system. We make it conformal by introducing a dissipation term: the result is the continuous model of our scheme. We solve it via splitting methods (Lie-Trotter and leapfrog): we combine the RATTLE scheme, approximating the conserved flow, with the exact dissipated flow. The result is a conformal symplectic method for constant stepsizes. We also propose an adaptive stepsize version of it. We test it on an example, the minimization of a function defined on a sphere, and compare it with the usual gradient descent method.

This study addresses a class of linear mixed-integer programming (MILP) problems that involve uncertainty in the objective function parameters. The parameters are assumed to form a random vector, whose probability distribution can only be observed through a finite training data set. Unlike most of the related studies in the literature, we also consider uncertainty in the underlying data set. The data uncertainty is described by a set of linear constraints for each random sample, and the uncertainty in the distribution (for a fixed realization of data) is defined using a type-1 Wasserstein ball centered at the empirical distribution of the data. The overall problem is formulated as a three-level distributionally robust optimization (DRO) problem. First, we prove that the three-level problem admits a single-level MILP reformulation, if the class of loss functions is restricted to biaffine functions. Secondly, it turns out that for several particular forms of data uncertainty, the outlined problem can be solved reasonably fast by leveraging the nominal MILP problem. Finally, we conduct a computational study, where the out-of-sample performance of our model and computational complexity of the proposed MILP reformulation are explored numerically for several application domains.

Advances in next-generation sequencing technology have enabled the high-throughput profiling of metagenomes and accelerated the microbiome study. Recently, there has been a rise in quantitative studies that aim to decipher the microbiome co-occurrence network and its underlying community structure based on metagenomic sequence data. Uncovering the complex microbiome community structure is essential to understanding the role of the microbiome in disease progression and susceptibility. Taxonomic abundance data generated from metagenomic sequencing technologies are high-dimensional and compositional, suffering from uneven sampling depth, over-dispersion, and zero-inflation. These characteristics often challenge the reliability of the current methods for microbiome community detection. To this end, we propose a Bayesian stochastic block model to study the microbiome co-occurrence network based on the recently developed modified centered-log ratio transformation tailored for microbiome data analysis. Our model allows us to incorporate taxonomic tree information using a Markov random field prior. The model parameters are jointly inferred by using Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling techniques. Our simulation study showed that the proposed approach performs better than competing methods even when taxonomic tree information is non-informative. We applied our approach to a real urinary microbiome dataset from postmenopausal women, the first time the urinary microbiome co-occurrence network structure has been studied. In summary, this statistical methodology provides a new tool for facilitating advanced microbiome studies.

A Las Vegas randomized algorithm is given to compute the Hermite normal form of a nonsingular integer matrix $A$ of dimension $n$. The algorithm uses quadratic integer multiplication and cubic matrix multiplication and has running time bounded by $O(n^3 (\log n + \log ||A||)^2(\log n)^2)$ bit operations, where $||A||= \max_{ij} |A_{ij}|$ denotes the largest entry of $A$ in absolute value. A variant of the algorithm that uses pseudo-linear integer multiplication is given that has running time $(n^3 \log ||A||)^{1+o(1)}$ bit operations, where the exponent $"+o(1)"$ captures additional factors $c_1 (\log n)^{c_2} (\log \log ||A||)^{c_3}$ for positive real constants $c_1,c_2,c_3$.

We study a class of Gaussian processes for which the posterior mean, for a particular choice of data, replicates a truncated Taylor expansion of any order. The data consist of derivative evaluations at the expansion point and the prior covariance kernel belongs to the class of Taylor kernels, which can be written in a certain power series form. We discuss and prove some results on maximum likelihood estimation of parameters of Taylor kernels. The proposed framework is a special case of Gaussian process regression based on data that is orthogonal in the reproducing kernel Hilbert space of the covariance kernel.

We introduce a formulation of optimal transport problem for distributions on function spaces, where the stochastic map between functional domains can be partially represented in terms of an (infinite-dimensional) Hilbert-Schmidt operator mapping a Hilbert space of functions to another. For numerous machine learning tasks, data can be naturally viewed as samples drawn from spaces of functions, such as curves and surfaces, in high dimensions. Optimal transport for functional data analysis provides a useful framework of treatment for such domains. { Since probability measures in infinite dimensional spaces generally lack absolute continuity (that is, with respect to non-degenerate Gaussian measures), the Monge map in the standard optimal transport theory for finite dimensional spaces may not exist. Our approach to the optimal transport problem in infinite dimensions is by a suitable regularization technique -- we restrict the class of transport maps to be a Hilbert-Schmidt space of operators.} To this end, we develop an efficient algorithm for finding the stochastic transport map between functional domains and provide theoretical guarantees on the existence, uniqueness, and consistency of our estimate for the Hilbert-Schmidt operator. We validate our method on synthetic datasets and examine the functional properties of the transport map. Experiments on real-world datasets of robot arm trajectories further demonstrate the effectiveness of our method on applications in domain adaptation.

A Milstein-type method is proposed for some highly non-linear non-autonomous time-changed stochastic differential equations (SDEs). The spatial variables in the coefficients of the time-changed SDEs satisfy the super-linear growth condition and the temporal variables obey some H\"older's continuity condition. The strong convergence in the finite time is studied and the convergence order is obtained.

In recent years, object detection has experienced impressive progress. Despite these improvements, there is still a significant gap in the performance between the detection of small and large objects. We analyze the current state-of-the-art model, Mask-RCNN, on a challenging dataset, MS COCO. We show that the overlap between small ground-truth objects and the predicted anchors is much lower than the expected IoU threshold. We conjecture this is due to two factors; (1) only a few images are containing small objects, and (2) small objects do not appear enough even within each image containing them. We thus propose to oversample those images with small objects and augment each of those images by copy-pasting small objects many times. It allows us to trade off the quality of the detector on large objects with that on small objects. We evaluate different pasting augmentation strategies, and ultimately, we achieve 9.7\% relative improvement on the instance segmentation and 7.1\% on the object detection of small objects, compared to the current state of the art method on MS COCO.
