description: In this paper, we present a simple yet surprisingly effective technique to induce "selective amnesia" on a backdoored model. Our approach, called SEAM, has been inspired by the problem of catastrophic forgetting (CF), a long standing issue in continual learning. Our idea is to retrain a given DNN model on randomly labeled clean data, to induce a CF on the model, leading to a sudden forget on both primary and backdoor tasks; then we recover the primary task by retraining the randomized model on correctly labeled clean data. We analyzed SEAM by modeling the unlearning process as continual learning and further approximating a DNN using Neural Tangent Kernel for measuring CF. Our analysis shows that our random-labeling approach actually maximizes the CF on an unknown backdoor in the absence of triggered inputs, and also preserves some feature extraction in the network to enable a fast revival of the primary task. We further evaluated SEAM on both image processing and Natural Language Processing tasks, under both data contamination and training manipulation attacks, over thousands of models either trained on popular image datasets or provided by the TrojAI competition. Our experiments show that SEAM vastly outperforms the state-of-the-art unlearning techniques, achieving a high Fidelity (measuring the gap between the accuracy of the primary task and that of the backdoor) within a few minutes (about 30 times faster than training a model from scratch using the MNIST dataset), with only a small amount of clean data (0.1% of training data for TrojAI models).
Open Source Implementations of Numerical Algorithms for Computing the Complete Elliptic Integral of the First Kind

description: The complete elliptic integral of the first kind (CEI-1) plays a significant role in mathematics, physics and engineering. There is no simple formula for its computation, thus numerical algorithms are essential for coping with the practical problems involved. The commercial implementations for the numerical solutions, such as the functions \lstinline|ellipticK| and \lstinline|EllipticK| provided by MATLAB and Mathematica respectively, are based on $\mathcal{K}_{\mathrm{cs}}(m)$ instead of the usual form $K(k)$ such that $\mathcal{K}_{\mathrm{cs}}(k^2) =K(k)$ and $m=k^2$. It is necessary to develop open source implementations for the computation of the CEI-1 in order to avoid potential risks of using commercial software and possible limitations due to the unknown factors. In this paper, the infinite series method, arithmetic-geometric mean (AGM) method, Gauss-Chebyshev method and Gauss-Legendre methods are discussed in details with a top-down strategy. The four key algorithms for computing CEI-1 are designed, verified, validated and tested, which can be utilized in R\& D and be reused properly. Numerical results show that our open source implementations based on $K(k)$ are equivalent to the commercial implementation based on $\mathcal{K}_{\mathrm{cs}}(m)$. The general algorithms for computing orthogonal polynomials developed are significant byproducts in the sense of STEM education and scientific computation.

description: We study possible ways gravitational waves (GW) are sourced in a theory with minimal left-right symmetry breaking. Generically first order phase transitions (FOPT) lead to gravitational waves sourced by bubble dynamics, while second order phase transitions (SOPT) do not. However, due the presence of two degenerate fields, we obtain domain walls in the putative SOPT case, giving rise to GW via disintegrating domain walls, testable at experiments such as IPTA, DECIGO, and LISA. On the other hand, for the case of FOPT, we get the usual signal from spontaneously created bubbles, but there also arises a late forming domain wall structure separating the two types of vacua. The disintegration of these walls provides an additional source of GW. Thus the parameter range signalling FOPT case gives rise to two distinct peaks in the spectrum of GW. This is verifiable for the low symmetry breaking scales $10^4 - 10^6$ GeV, but a high scale such as $\sim10^{10}$ GeV remains beyond the reach of currently planned experiments. Finally, we point out that a version of the left-right symmetric model which separates the scale of parity breaking from that of gauge symmetry breaking is also subject to domain wall formation and amenable to GW observations.

description: Owing to their interesting spectral properties, the synthetic crystals over lattices other than regular Euclidean lattices, such as hyperbolic and fractal ones, have attracted renewed attention, especially from materials and meta-materials research communities. They can be studied under the umbrella of quantum dynamics over Cayley graphs of finitely generated groups. In this work, we investigate numerical aspects related to the quantum dynamics over such Cayley graphs. Using an algebraic formulation of the "periodic boundary condition" due to Lueck [Geom. Funct. Anal. 4, 455-481 (1994)], we devise a practical and converging numerical method that resolves the true bulk spectrum of the Hamiltonians. Exact results on the matrix elements of the resolvent, derived from the combinatorics of the Cayley graphs, give us the means to validate our algorithms and also to obtain new combinatorial statements. Our results open the systematic research of quantum dynamics over Cayley graphs of a very large family of finitely generated groups, which includes the free and Fuchsian groups.

description: Noisy intermediate-scale quantum computers (NISQ computers) are now readily available, motivating many researchers to experiment with Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQAs). Among them, the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) is one of the most popular one studied by the combinatorial optimization community. In this tutorial, we provide a mathematical description of the class of Variational Quantum Algorithms, assuming no previous knowledge of quantum physics from the readers. We introduce precisely the key aspects of these hybrid algorithms on the quantum side (parametrized quantum circuit) and the classical side (guiding function, optimizer). We devote a particular attention to QAOA, detailing the quantum circuits involved in that algorithm, as well as the properties satisfied by its possible guiding functions. Finally, we discuss the recent literature on QAOA, highlighting several research trends.

description: This paper provides results on Wasserstein gradient flows between measures on the real line. Utilizing the isometric embedding of the Wasserstein space $\mathcal P_2(\mathbb R)$ into the Hilbert space $L_2((0,1))$, Wasserstein gradient flows of functionals on $\mathcal P_2(\mathbb R)$ can be characterized as subgradient flows of associated functionals on $L_2((0,1))$. For the maximum mean discrepancy functional $\mathcal F_ν:= \mathcal D^2_K(\cdot, ν)$ with the non-smooth negative distance kernel $K(x,y) = -|x-y|$, we deduce a formula for the associated functional. This functional appears to be convex, and we show that $\mathcal F_ν$ is convex along (generalized) geodesics. For the Dirac measure $ν= δ_q$, $q \in \mathbb R$ as end point of the flow, this enables us to determine the Wasserstein gradient flows analytically. Various examples of Wasserstein gradient flows are given for illustration.

Year: 1950

description: The history of Kushan dynasty is often neglected as throwing little light on the cultural history of India and, this being so, attention has so far been paid only to the problems connected with the chronology of the Kushan kings and with the origin of the Buddha figure. For the first time an attempt is made here to draw a picture of the cultural progress made, as a whole, in the Kushan period, by utilising all available literary and archaeological data. Chapter I - The first chapter deals with the geographical features of the area over which the Yue-chi and the Kushans ruled. The various overland routes passed through this area have, also, been fully discussed. Chapter II - The second chapter deals with the problems connected with chronology and the date of the Kushan Kings, as well as the political history of the dynasty. Chapter III - In the third chapter the adminstrative system of the Kushana together with the Kushan idea of divine kingship have bean disouased. Chapter IV - The fourth chapter deals with Kushan commercial relations with China, Home and the Indian peninsula. The overland and the maritime trade and the craft and trade guild organisations have been studied in detail. Chapter V. - The fifth chapter deals with contemporary Buddhism, Jainism, Saivism and other religious natter. Lists of the deities, found on the Kushan coin, are given, Attempts are, also, made to study the social conditions concerning caste, the position of women, costume, musical Instruments, education and learning. Chapter VI - In sixth chapter Kushan art and culture, as manifested in Gandharan and Mathura sculpture, pottery and terracottas, have been studied. A short review of the important archaeological sites has also, been given. Four maps, showing the geographical features of the area concerned, are supplied. A number of plates are, also, attached in order to illustrate the types of pottery, sculpture and coins.

description: A research framework is an important feature of any academic research since it provides a researcher with an avenue of filtering his or her data to tell a particular story. Many studies in banking have been researched from data which was filtered through a mainstream, positivist or scientific approach and therefore these studies have not taken into account the social, economic, political and historical factors which are an important component of any academic research. The aim of this research paper is to bring out the importance of a research framework within case studies and the process the researcher undertakes, in his or her journey to complete the researcher's odyssey.

description: This study examines the extent to which the newly independent African countries are adhering to the Rule of Law. The idea that rulers should observe a certain code of behaviour in dealing with their subjects is not new. In the first of the three parts of this study, we trace the evolution of this idea. Two approaches are distinguished. Chapter One deals with the conceptual fundamental human rights approach which is rooted in the theory of natural law and natural rights. The second chapter appraises the British procedural approach, with its emphasis on remedies as distinct from the explicit enactment of individual rights. After a few remarks on the universal conception of the Rule of Law, we conclude this part of the study with a working definition. African states have borrowed many ideas and institutions of government from Europe. These are being adapted to suit local needs. We pause in Part II to examine African traditional ideas and practices of governments, to discover the equivalents (if any) of the features of the concept of the Rule of Law. Part III opens with Chapter Five, which analyses the new political systems in Africa with particular reference to the one-party regimes. Chapter Six examines the democratic basis of African governments, while Chapter Seven attempts a survey of individual liberties in modern Africa. In Chapter Eight, the factors making for or against fair and impartial administration of justice are evaluated. The ninth chapter briefly concludes the work.

description: Deep Neural Networks are vulnerable to adversarial attacks. Neural Architecture Search (NAS), one of the driving tools of deep neural networks, demonstrates superior performance in prediction accuracy in various machine learning applications. However, it is unclear how it performs against adversarial attacks. Given the presence of a robust teacher, it would be interesting to investigate if NAS would produce robust neural architecture by inheriting robustness from the teacher. In this paper, we propose Robust Neural Architecture Search by Cross-Layer Knowledge Distillation (RNAS-CL), a novel NAS algorithm that improves the robustness of NAS by learning from a robust teacher through cross-layer knowledge distillation. Unlike previous knowledge distillation methods that encourage close student/teacher output only in the last layer, RNAS-CL automatically searches for the best teacher layer to supervise each student layer. Experimental result evidences the effectiveness of RNAS-CL and shows that RNAS-CL produces small and robust neural architecture.

title: Nullity of Marriage in Modern Hindu Law.
Creators: name: Tewari, Sushil Kumar
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1965

description: The first Chapter investigates the question: whether nullity existed in the dharmasastra. Chapter Two is concerned with bigamy as ground for nullity. The essential requirements to obtain relief where either party has a spouse living at the time of the marriage have been discussed. In Chapter Three degrees of prohibited relationship, degrees of Sapi4a relationship, and essential requirements of a custom permitting such a marriage have been dealt with. Chapter Four defines impotence, considers instances amounting and not amounting to impotence. The media and standard of proof of impotence, factors limiting the Court's jurisdiction has also been considered. Chapter Five considers mental incapacity sufficient to annul a marriage and the test to be applied in such a case. Chapter Six defines force, that will suffice to entitle the petitioner to petition for a decree of nullity. Similarly, it defines the fraud and investigates the sort of concealment or misrepresentation that will suffice to entitle deceived party to petition for a decree of nullity. Chapter Seven deals with concealed pregnancy as a ground for nullity. An attempt has been made to define such terms as "ignorant", "discovered" and "intercourse with the consent of the petitioner". Similarly the nature and standard of proof has also been considered. Chapter Eight deals with venereal disease as a ground for nullity under the Kenya Ordinance and considers to what extent this ground may be adopted under the HMA or Uganda Ordinance.

title: The Joint Hindu Family: Its Evolution as a Legal Institution.
Creators: name: Sontheimer, Gunther Dietz
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1965

description: The institution is based on the concept that a nucleus of ancestral property and accretions to it do not exclusively belong to one person, but form the basis for the spiritual and economical welfare of family members normally within a circle of three generations. In traditional belief even past and future generations have an "interest" in the property of those who enjoy the property for the present. This concept was based on patriliny. Patriarchy existed but did not develop into the strict Roman patria potestas. It rather served to emphasize the rights of the father in the face of premature assumption of powers by the son. The core of the institution is the relationship between father and son. The son is the father reborn and inherits not only rights to enjoy property, but also responsibilities towards all family members. The admixture of customary law in the Dharmasastras brought modifications and accretion of rules. Thus the value of ancestral land furthered the rights of the son. Rights of females in property competed with the view that women should be only maintained which includes marriage expenses. The customary elementary family with community of ownership between husband and wife occurs in sastric texts but recedes in the face of the pivotal relationship of father and son which constitutes a kind of "trust". After the death of the common ancestor the law always anticipated partition and formation of new smaller joint families unless brothers remained joint out of convenience or necessity. In Anglo-Hindu law the traditional institution may have suffered from over-specialisation of rules, deficient selection or application of sastric material, and conflicting decisions. But judge-made law has essentially supported greater individuality without destroying basic jointness and has in fact supported the preservation of the joint family. Even legislation has not abrogated the basic jointness between agnates and especially between father and son. This process represents an example of the adaptation of a traditional legal institution to modern demands.

description: At the core of the success of semiconducting spin qubits is the ability to manipulate them electrically, enabled by the spin-orbit interactions. However, most implementations require external magnetic fields to define the spin qubit, which in turn activate various charge-noise mechanisms. Here we study spin qubits confined in quantum dots at zero magnetic fields that are driven periodically by electrical fields and are coupled to a microwave resonator. Using Floquet theory, we identify a well-defined Floquet spin-qubit originating from the lowest degenerate spin states in the absence of driving. We find both transverse and longitudinal couplings between the Floquet spin qubit and the resonator, which can be selectively activated by modifying the driving frequency. We show how these couplings can facilitate fast qubit readout and the implementation of a two-qubit CPHASE gate. Finally, we use adiabatic perturbation theory to demonstrate that the spin-photon couplings originate from the non-Abelian geometry of states endowed by the spin-orbit interactions, rendering these findings general and applicable to a wide range of solid-state spin qubits.

description: We consider $L^2$-approximation on weighted reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces of functions depending on infinitely many variables. We focus on unrestricted linear information, admitting evaluations of arbitrary continuous linear functionals. We distinguish between ANOVA and non-ANOVA spaces, where, by ANOVA spaces, we refer to function spaces whose norms are induced by an underlying ANOVA function decomposition. In ANOVA spaces, we provide an optimal algorithm to solve the approximation problem using linear information. We determine the upper and lower error bounds on the polynomial convergence rate of $n$-th minimal worst-case errors, which match if the weights decay regularly. For non-ANOVA spaces, we also establish upper and lower error bounds. Our analysis reveals that for weights with a regular and moderate decay behavior, the convergence rate of $n$-th minimal errors is strictly higher in ANOVA than in non-ANOVA spaces.

Creators: name: Panigrahi, Dewendra Nath
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1965

description: This thesis is devoted to a study of Sir Charles Metcalfe's administration and administrative ideas in India between 1806 and 1835 and is concerned with a discussion of such forces and principles as can be studied in his activities and his mind. Metcalfe evolved his administrative principles and methods at Delhi, while he was its Resident from 1811 to 1818 and between the years 1825 and 1827. The system of administration as devised by him was known as the Delhi system, which derived its main principles from indigenous sources but it was open to other influences as well. Later when he became a Member of the Supreme Council in Bengal - the homeland of the Cornwallis principles - during Lord William Bentinck's governor-generalship, he sought to assert his influence in remoulding the system of administration according to his viewpoint. In actual result, however, a synthesis between the two sets of administrative principles took place. In 1835, as the Governor-General of India he passed the press-law which guaranteed freedom of thought and expression. Metcalfe had passed through a period of war and peace in India. On the one hand he had imbibed some ideas and principles of the Wellesley era, on the other his attitude blended with the spirit of the age of Bentinck which symbolised peace and reform. Both these trends are to be seen in his thoughts and actions. In this thesis particular attention has been paid to an analysis of these trends. In preparing this thesis extensive use has been made of the records of the East India Company as well as of the relevant private papers of several administrators of the time.

description: Retaining diverse, underrepresented students in computer science and software engineering programs is a significant concern for universities. In this chapter, we describe the INSPIRE: STEM for Social Impact program at the University of Victoria, Canada, which leverages the three principles of self-determination theory competence, relatedness, and autonomy in the design of strategies to empower women and other underrepresented groups in using software and other engineering solutions to approach sustainability, community-driven problems. We also describe lessons learned from a first successful year that involved over 30 students, 6 community partners (sustainability problem owners), and over 20 industry and academic mentors and reached out to more than 200 solution end users in our communities. Finally, we provide recommendations for universities and organizations who may want to adopt our approach. In the program 24 diverse students (in terms of gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, academic standing, and background) divided into six teams paired with six community partners worked on solving society impactful problems and developed solutions for a number of respective community partners. Each team was supported by an experienced upper year student and mentors from industry and community throughout the program. The experiential learning approach of the program allowed the students to learn a variety of soft and technical skills while developing a solution that has a social and/or environmental impact. Having a diverse team and creating a solution for real end users motivated the students to actively collaborate with their peers, community partners, and mentors resulting in the development of an inclusive network. A network of like minded people is crucial in empowering underrepresented individuals and inspiring them to remain in the computer science and software engineering fields.
title: A Study of Urban Centres and Industries in the Central Provinces of the Mughal Empire Between 1556 and 1803.

description: The era of the Mughal ascendency in the history of India is marked with crystalisation of all the highest social, political and cultural values of the medieval world. As such the period has often been subjected to investigation. The economic life of northern India, the provenance of the Mughal empire has not so far received the attention it deserves. An attempt has, therefore, been made here to survey some of the most eminent urban centres of the region. Among them Lahore, Delhi and Agra, by virtue of their metropolitan character, were pre-eminent. Then follow Patna and Benaras, the chief commercial centres in the eastern parts of the region. The object of the study is to investigate the functioning of the city life and to examine the forces which sustained it. A brief resume of the political life of these cities is followed by an investigation under heads such as their location, water supply, provisioning, commerce, industry, composition of population and general layout. The discussion extends to three chapters, the first two dealing with the capital cities and the third with Patna and Benaras. The study reveals that it was owing to their industries and commerce that these cities had become viable enabling them to endure through the vicissitudes of succeeding centuries. The rest of the work has, therefore, been devoted to industries. Among the principal industries, cotton textiles, because of its pervading importance, has been given primacy of place. Thus, the fourth and fifth chapters discuss this industry at length under such heads as centres of production, various processes of the manufacture of cotton goods, varieties produced, organisational aspect, uses of and trade in cotton fabrics. The last chapter deals with certain select industries namely metalware, salt, sugar and paper.

title: Soseki's Development as a Novelist Until 1907, With Special Reference to the Genesis, Nature and Position in His Work of "Kusa Makura".
Creators: name: Turney, Alan James
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 1978

description: Natsume Soseki was a student of both Chinese and English literature. From his study of the former he conceived a love for kanshi (Chinese poems) and from the latter a conviction that Oriental poetry was in general superior to its Occidental counterpart. His admiration for Oriental poetry was strengthened as a result of his study of haiku. He was also a-man who wished to be of service to his country. His love of poetry on the one hand and his concern with actual social problems on the other account for the two parallel lines which one can see in his early works. Of Soseki's three full-length works published before 1907, Wagahai wa Neko De Aru and Botchan are humorous social satire and constitute, with Nihyakutoka, one line, while Kusa Makura may be seen as the climax to the other, the poetic, line. While Kusa Makura has much in common with Soseki's shorter, poetic works, it is unique in that it is a full-length novel. In tone it is very like a haiku, while both in tone and in structure it resembles a kanshi. It combines discussion on literature and art with poetic descriptions and marks a confluence of Soseki's love of kanshi and haiku and his study of' English literature. It was in Kusa Makura that Soseki introduced the concept of hininjo (objectivity), which epitomized shaseibun (the kind of writing which stood in contrast to Naturalism and which gave Soseki his entree into the world of letters). In the essay-like passages of Kusa Makura Soseki expounds the principle of hininjo, while in his descriptions he attempts to put this principle into practice. Kusa Makura marks the end of a certain kind of writing, even though at the time Soseki did not reject the view of literature which it represents, for with Nowaki, his next full-length work, which was published in 1907, he moved away from the poetic and embarked upon a series of novels which dealt with egoism. However, Kusa Makura is by no means a dead end. In the sense that it was in Kusa Makura that the concept of hininjo was introduced and that hininjo was later developed into the idea of sokutenkyoshi (literally 'follow heaven and depart from the self') it may be said to presage that line of novels which was to deal with egoism and which began with Nowaki. In short, Kusa Makura occupies a crucial position in the works of Natsume Soseki.

description: Alliances and conflicts in social, political and economic relations can be represented by positive and negative edges in signed networks. A cycle is said to be positive if the product of its edge signs is positive, otherwise it is negative. Then, a signed network is balanced if and only if all its cycles are positive. An index characterizing how much a signed network deviates from being balanced is known as a global balance index. Here we give a step forward in the characterization of signed networks by defining a local balance index, which characterizes how much a given vertex of a signed network contributes to its global balance. We analyze the mathematical foundations and unique structural properties of this index. Then, we apply this index to the study of the evolution of international relations in the globe for the period 1816-2014. In this way we detect and categorize major historic events based on balance fluctuations, helping our understanding towards new mixed approaches to history based on network theory.
