Data-driven project planning: An integrated network learning and constraint relaxation approach in favor of scheduling
Creators: name: Cohen, Izack
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Our focus is on projects, i.e., business processes, which are emerging as the economic drivers of our times. Differently from day-to-day operational processes that do not require detailed planning, a project requires planning and resource-constrained scheduling for coordinating resources across sub- or related projects and organizations. A planner in charge of project planning has to select a set of activities to perform, determine their precedence constraints, and schedule them according to temporal project constraints. We suggest a data-driven project planning approach for classes of projects such as infrastructure building and information systems development projects. A project network is first learned from historical records. The discovered network relaxes temporal constraints embedded in individual projects, thus uncovering where planning and scheduling flexibility can be exploited for greater benefit. Then, the network, which contains multiple project plan variations, from which one has to be selected, is enriched by identifying decision rules and frequent paths. The planner can rely on the project network for: 1) decoding a project variation such that it forms a new project plan, and 2) applying resource-constrained project scheduling procedures to determine the project's schedule and resource allocation. Using two real-world project datasets, we show that the suggested approach may provide the planner with significant flexibility (up to a 26% reduction of the critical path of a real project) to adjust the project plan and schedule. We believe that the proposed approach can play an important part in supporting decision making towards automated data-driven project planning.

description: The Nazarov-Sodin constant describes the average number of nodal set components of Gaussian fields on large scales. We generalise this to a functional describing the corresponding number of level set components for arbitrary levels. Using results from Morse theory, we express this functional as an integral over the level densities of different types of critical points, and as a result deduce the absolute continuity of the functional as the level varies. We further give upper and lower bounds showing that the functional is at least bimodal for certain isotropic fields, including the important special case of the random plane wave.

Anomaly cancellation in M-theory on orbifolds

description: We present calculation of the anomaly cancellation in M-theory on orbifolds $S^1/Z_2$ and $T^5/Z_2$ in the upstairs approach. The main requirement that allows one to uniquely define solutions to the modified Bianchi identities in this case is that the field strength $G$ be globally defined on $S^1$ or $T^5$ and properly transforming under $Z_2$. We solve for general $G$ that satisfies these requirements and explicitly construct anomaly-free theories in the upstairs approach. We also obtain the solutions in the presence of five-branes. All these constructions show equivalence of the downstairs and upstairs approaches. For example in the $S^1/Z_2$ case the ten-dimensional gauge coupling and the anomaly cancellation at each wall are the same as in the downstairs approach.

description: We apply neural posterior estimation for fast-and-accurate hierarchical Bayesian inference of gravitational wave populations. We use a normalizing flow to estimate directly the population hyper-parameters from a collection of individual source observations. This approach provides complete freedom in event representation, automatic inclusion of selection effects, and (in contrast to likelihood estimation) without the need for stochastic samplers to obtain posterior samples. Since the number of events may be unknown when the network is trained, we split into sub-population analyses that we later recombine; this allows for fast sequential analyses as additional events are observed. We demonstrate our method on a toy problem of dark siren cosmology, and show that inference takes just a few minutes and scales to $\sim 600$ events before performance degrades. We argue that neural posterior estimation therefore represents a promising avenue for population inference with large numbers of events.

description: We test the performance of self-consistent GW and several representative implementations of vertex corrected G0W0 (G0W0Γ). These approaches are tested on benchmark data sets covering full valence spectra (first ionization potentials and some inner valence shell excitations). For small molecules, when comparing against state of the art wave function techniques, our results show that performing full self-consistency in the GW scheme either systematically outperforms vertex corrected G0W0 or gives results of at least the same quality. Moreover, the G0W0Γ results in additional computational cost when compared to G0W0 or self-consistent GW and the G0W0Γ dependency on the starting mean-filed solution is frequently larger than the magnitude of the vertex correction. Consequently, for molecular systems self-consistent GW performed on imaginary axis and then followed by modern analytical continuation techniques offers a more reliable approach to make predictions of IP spectra.

Design, Preparation and Characterisation of Enzyme-Triggerable Stealth Release of Targeted Nanoparticles for Cancer Genetic Therapy
Creators: name: Yingyuad, Peerada
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: The use of cationic liposomes to deliver nucleic acids has shown great promise; however, their therapeutic potential is greatly limited by their in vivo instability. Upon systemic administration, cationic liposomes are prone to plasma protein adsorption, leading to RES recognition and rapid clearance from blood circulation. Surface modification using hydrophilic polymers, usually PEG, is known to prolong the circulation half-lives of liposomes in vivo. PEG is required for increased liposome stability, but it is undesirable once at a target tissue since its presence significantly inhibits the release of the encapsulated agent. The development of cleavable PEG that can be removed in response to a specific trigger once at the target site may be one strategy to overcome this problem. Here, we report the development of PEGylated peptide-lipid conjugates sensitive to the proteolytic enzymes found in tumour cells, HLE and MMP-2. The synthesis was carried out by conjugating an enzyme substrate peptide between PEG and a lipid, enabling a series of enzyme-sensitive PEGylated peptide-lipid conjugates to be used for liposomal nucleic acid delivery. Although enzymatic degradation of the peptide linker resulting in the detachment of PEG was not observed with the analytical techniques used, the in vitro result showed enhanced pDNA transfection efficiency by the nanoparticles containing the PEGylated peptide-lipid conjugates in response to the enzymes, compared to the controls. Physicochemical characterisation showed the nanoparticles have small diameters and high nucleic acid encapsulation efficiency. The nanoparticles with lower zeta potential were found to exhibit enhanced stability in serum and minimum toxicity. Further investigation in a siRNA system revealed the ability of the PEGylated peptidelipid nanoparticles to significantly knockdown the target protein in response to enzymatic activation. Thus, the results from these studies demonstrated the possibility of using the enzyme-sensitive PEGylated peptide-lipid conjugates to improve nucleic acid delivery.

Hedge Funds: Risk Decomposition, Replication and the Disposition Effect
Creators: name: Amaxopoulos, Fotios
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the literature on hedge fund performance and risk analysis. The thesis is divided into three major chapters that apply novel factor model (Chapter 2) and return replication approaches (Chapter 3) as well as using hedge fund holdings information to examine the disposition effect (Chapter 4). Chapter 2 focuses on the implementation of an efficient Signal Processing technique called Independent Component Analysis, in order to try to identify the driving mechanisms of hedge fund returns. We propose a new algorithm to interpret economically the independent components derived by the data. We use a wide dataset of financial linear and non-linear factors and apply the classification given by the independent component factor models to form optimal portfolios of hedge funds. The results show that our approach outperforms the classic factor models for hedge funds in terms of explanatory power and statistical significance, both in and out of sample. Additionally the ICA model seems to outperform the other models in asset allocation and portfolio construction problems. In chapter 3 we use an effective classification algorithm called Support Vector Machines in order to classify and replicate hedge funds. We use hedge fund returns and exposures on the Fung and Hsieh factor model in order to classify the funds as the self declared strategies differ significantly in the majority of cases from the real one the funds follow. Then we replicate the hedge fund returns with the use of the Support Vector Regressions and we conduct: external replication using financial and economic factors that affect hedge fund returns. Finally in chapter 4 we examine whether hedge funds exhibit a disposition effect in equity markets that leads to under-reaction to news and return predictability. The tendency to hold losing investments too long and sell winning investments too soon has been documented for mutual funds and retail investors, but little is known about whether holdings of sophisticated institutional investors such as hedge funds exhibit such irrational behaviour. We examine the previously unexplored differences in the disposition effect and performance between hedge and mutual funds. Our results show that hedge funds' equity portfolio holdings are consistent with the disposition effect and lead to stronger predictability than that induced by mutual funds' disposition effect during the same sample period. A subsample analysis reveals that this is due to a relatively more pronounced moderation in the disposition-induced predictability in mutual fund holdings, which may, for example, be related to managers learning from their past suboptimal behaviour documented by earlier studies.
Vehicle Instance Segmentation from Aerial Image and Video Using a Multi-Task Learning Residual Fully Convolutional Network

description: Object detection and semantic segmentation are two main themes in object retrieval from high-resolution remote sensing images, which have recently achieved remarkable performance by surfing the wave of deep learning and, more notably, convolutional neural networks (CNNs). In this paper, we are interested in a novel, more challenging problem of vehicle instance segmentation, which entails identifying, at a pixel-level, where the vehicles appear as well as associating each pixel with a physical instance of a vehicle. In contrast, vehicle detection and semantic segmentation each only concern one of the two. We propose to tackle this problem with a semantic boundary-aware multi-task learning network. More specifically, we utilize the philosophy of residual learning (ResNet) to construct a fully convolutional network that is capable of harnessing multi-level contextual feature representations learned from different residual blocks. We theoretically analyze and discuss why residual networks can produce better probability maps for pixel-wise segmentation tasks. Then, based on this network architecture, we propose a unified multi-task learning network that can simultaneously learn two complementary tasks, namely, segmenting vehicle regions and detecting semantic boundaries. The latter subproblem is helpful for differentiating closely spaced vehicles, which are usually not correctly separated into instances. Currently, datasets with pixel-wise annotation for vehicle extraction are ISPRS dataset and IEEE GRSS DFC2015 dataset over Zeebrugge, which specializes in semantic segmentation. Therefore, we built a new, more challenging dataset for vehicle instance segmentation, called the Busy Parking Lot UAV Video dataset, and we make our dataset available at http://www.sipeo.bgu.tum.de/download so that it can be used to benchmark future vehicle instance segmentation algorithms.

Optimising and evaluating designs for reconfigurable hardware
Creators: name: Becker, Tobias
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Growing demand for computational performance, and the rising cost for chip design and manufacturing make reconfigurable hardware increasingly attractive for digital system implementation. Reconfigurable hardware, such as field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), can deliver performance through parallelism while also providing flexibility to enable application builders to reconfigure them. However, reconfigurable systems, particularly those involving run-time reconfiguration, are often developed in an ad-hoc manner. Such an approach usually results in low designer productivity and can lead to inefficient designs. This thesis covers three main achievements that address this situation. The first achievement is a model that captures design parameters of reconfigurable hardware and performance parameters of a given application domain. This model supports optimisations for several design metrics such as performance, area, and power consumption. The second achievement is a technique that enhances the relocatability of bitstreams for reconfigurable devices, taking into account heterogeneous resources. This method increases the flexibility of modules represented by these bitstreams while reducing configuration storage size and design compilation time. The third achievement is a technique to characterise the power consumption of FPGAs in different activity modes. This technique includes the evaluation of standby power and dedicated low-power modes, which are crucial in meeting the requirements for battery-based mobile devices.
The T-Complexity Costs of Error Correction for Control Flow in Quantum Computation

description: Numerous quantum algorithms require the use of quantum error correction to overcome the intrinsic unreliability of physical qubits. However, error correction imposes a unique performance bottleneck, known as T-complexity, that can make an implementation of an algorithm as a quantum program run more slowly than on idealized hardware. In this work, we identify that programming abstractions for control flow, such as the quantum if-statement, can introduce polynomial increases in the T-complexity of a program. If not mitigated, this slowdown can diminish the computational advantage of a quantum algorithm.
 To enable reasoning about the costs of control flow, we present a cost model that a developer can use to accurately analyze the T-complexity of a program and pinpoint the sources of slowdown. We also present a set of program-level optimizations, that a developer can use to rewrite a program to reduce its T-complexity, predict the T-complexity of the optimized program using the cost model, and then compile it to an efficient circuit via a straightforward strategy.
 We implement the program-level optimizations in Spire, an extension of the Tower quantum compiler. Using a set of 11 benchmark programs that use control flow, we show that the cost model is accurate, and that Spire's optimizations recover programs that are asymptotically efficient, meaning their runtime T-complexity under error correction is equal to their time complexity on idealized hardware.
 Our results show that optimizing a program before it is compiled to a circuit can yield better results than compiling the program to an inefficient circuit and then invoking a quantum circuit optimizer found in prior work. For our benchmarks, only 2 of 8 tested circuit optimizers recover circuits with asymptotically efficient T-complexity. Compared to these 2 optimizers, Spire uses 54x to 2400x less compile time.

The U(1)s in the Finite N Limit of Orbifold Field Theories

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study theories generated by orbifolding the {\cal N}=4 super conformal U(N) Yang Mills theory with finite N, focusing on the rôle of the remnant U(1) gauge symmetries of the orbifold process. It is well known that the one loop beta functions of the non abelian SU(N) gauge couplings vanish in these theories. It is also known that in the large N limit the beta functions vanish to all order in perturbation theory. We show that the beta functions of the non abelian SU(N) gauge couplings vanish to two and three loop order even for finite N. This is the result of taking the abelian U(1) of U(N)=SU(N)xU(1) into account. However, the abelian U(1) gauge couplings have a non vanishing beta function. Hence, those theories are not conformal for finite N. We analyze the renormalization group flow of the orbifold theories, discuss the suppression of the cosmological constant and tackle the hierarchy problem in the non supersymmetric models.

description: The Gamow-Teller (GT) matrix element contributing to tritium $β$ decay is calculated with trinucleon wave functions obtained from hyperspherical-harmonics solutions of the Schrödinger equation with the chiral two- and three-nucleon interactions including $Δ$ intermediate states that have recently been constructed in configuration space. Predictions up to N3LO in the chiral expansion of the axial current (with $Δ$'s) overestimate the empirical value by 1--4 \%. By exploiting the relation between the low-energy constant (LEC) in the contact three-nucleon interaction and two-body axial current, we provide new determinations of the LECs $c_D$ and $c_E$ that characterize this interaction by fitting the trinucleon binding energy and tritium GT matrix element. Some of the implications that the resulting models of three-nucleon interactions have on the spectra of light nuclei and the equation of state of neutron matter are briefly discussed. We also provide a partial analysis, which ignores $Δ$'s, of the contributions due to loop corrections in the axial current at N4LO. Finally, explicit expressions for the axial current up to N4LO have been derived in configuration space, which other researchers in the field may find useful.

description: We present the high angular resolution and high sensitivity images of the "Circum-Nuclear Disk (CND)" and its surrounding region of Milky Way Galaxy in the CS J=2-1, SiO v=0 J=2-1, H^13CO^+ J=1-0, C^34S J=2-1, and CH_3OH J_{K_a, K_c}=2_{1,1}-1_{1,0}A_{--} emission lines using ALMA. The CND is recognized as a torus-like molecular gas with gaps in these emission lines except for the CH_3OH emission line. The inner and outer radii of the CND are estimated to be R_in~1.5 and R_out~2 pc, respectively. The velocities of the rotation and radial motion are estimated to be V_rot~115 km s^-1 and V_rad~23 km s^-1, respectively. The LTE molecular gas mass is estimated to be M_LTE~3x10^4 Mo. We also found some anomalous molecular clouds in the surrounding region. One of the molecular clouds is positionally connected to a part of the CND adjacent to the "Western Arc". However, the cloud is seen to rotate in the opposite direction to the CND. The molecular cloud would be falling currently from the outer region to the CND and being disrupted by the tidal shear of Sagittarius A*(Sgr A*) because the velocity is not yet assimilated into that of the CND. Another molecular cloud is continuously connected to the tip of the "Eastern Arm (EA)". The velocity of this cloud is consistent with that of the ionized gas in the EA. These facts suggest that the molecular cloud is falling from the outer region to the vicinity of Sgr A*, being disrupted by the tidal shear, and ionized by strong UV emission from the Central Cluster because the impact parameter of the cloud is smaller than the first cloud. These falling clouds would play an important role in transferring material from the outer region to the CND and/or the vicinity of Sgr A*.

description: A statistical-mechanical study of the effect of constraint relaxation on the minimum vertex cover problem in Erdős-Rényi random graphs is presented. Using a penalty-method formulation for constraint relaxation, typical properties of solutions, including infeasible solutions that violate the constraints, are analyzed by means of the replica method and cavity method. The problem involves a competition between reducing the number of vertices to be covered and satisfying the edge constraints. The analysis under the replica-symmetric (RS) ansatz clarifies that the competition leads to degeneracies in the vertex and edge states, which determine the quantitative properties of the system, such as the cover and penalty ratios. A precise analysis of these effects improves the accuracy of RS approximation for the minimum cover ratio in the replica symmetry breaking (RSB) region. Furthermore, the analysis based on the RS cavity method indicates that the RS/RSB boundary of the ground states with respect to the mean degree of the graphs is expanded, and the critical temperature is lowered by constraint relaxation.

description: We show that the kinetic approach to statistical mechanics permits an elegant and efficient treatment of fractional exclusion statistics. By using the exclusion-inclusion principle recently proposed [Phys. Rev. E49, 5103 (1994)] as a generalization of the Pauli exclusion principle, which is based on a proper definition of the transition probability between two states, we derive a variety of different statistical distributions interpolating between bosons and fermions. The Haldane exclusion principle and the Haldane-Wu fractional exclusion statistics are obtained in a natural way as particular cases. The thermodynamic properties of the statistical systems obeying the generalized exclusion-inclusion principle are discussed.

description: The European Green Deal aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, which demands improved emissions efficiency from the transportation industry. This study uses an agent-based simulation to analyze the sustainability impacts of shared autonomous shuttles. We forecast travel demands for 2050 and simulate regulatory interventions in the form of replacing private cars with a fleet of shared autonomous shuttles in specific areas. We derive driving-related emissions, energy consumption, and non-driving-related emissions to calculate life-cycle emissions. We observe reduced life-cycle emissions from 0.4% to 9.6% and reduced energy consumption from 1.5% to 12.2%.

description: We build upon the functional object-oriented network (FOON), a structured knowledge representation which is constructed from observations of human activities and manipulations. A FOON can be used for representing object-motion affordances. Knowledge retrieval through graph search allows us to obtain novel manipulation sequences using knowledge spanning across many video sources, hence the novelty in our approach. However, we are limited to the sources collected. To further improve the performance of knowledge retrieval as a follow up to our previous work, we discuss generalizing knowledge to be applied to objects which are similar to what we have in FOON without manually annotating new sources of knowledge. We discuss two means of generalization: 1) expanding our network through the use of object similarity to create new functional units from those we already have, and 2) compressing the functional units by object categories rather than specific objects. We discuss experiments which compare the performance of our knowledge retrieval algorithm with both expansion and compression by categories.

description: UV radiation can induce photochemical processes in exoplanet atmospheres and produce haze particles. Recent observations suggest that haze and/or cloud layers could be present in the upper atmospheres of exoplanets. Haze particles play an important role in planetary atmospheres and may provide a source of organic material to the surface which may impact the origin or evolution of life. However, very little information is known about photochemical processes in cool, high-metallicity exoplanetary atmospheres. Previously, we investigated haze formation and particle size distribution in laboratory atmosphere simulation experiments using AC plasma as the energy source. Here, we use UV photons to initiate the chemistry rather than the AC plasma, since photochemistry driven by UV radiation is important for understanding exoplanet atmospheres. We present photochemical haze formation in current UV experiments, we investigated a range of atmospheric metallicities (100x, 1000x, and 10000x solar metallicity) at three temperatures (300 K, 400 K, and 600 K). We find that photochemical hazes are generated in all simulated atmospheres with temperature-dependent production rates: the particles produced in each metallicity group decrease as the temperature increases. The images taken with atomic force microscopy show the particle size (15-190 nm) varies with temperature and metallicity. Our laboratory experimental results provide new insight into the formation and properties of photochemical haze, which could guide exoplanet atmosphere modeling and help to analyze and interpret current and future observations of exoplanets.
