Polar Codes with exponentially small error at finite block length

Jarosław Błasiok, Venkatesan Guruswami, Madhu Sudan

We show that the entire class of polar codes (up to a natural necessary condition) converge to capacity at block lengths polynomial in the gap to capacity, while simultaneously ach…

Reference Map Technique for Incompressible Fluid-Structure Interaction

Chris H. Rycroft, Chen-Hung Wu, Yue Yu +1

We present a general simulation approach for fluid-solid interactions based on the fully-Eulerian Reference Map Technique (RMT). The approach permits the modeling of one or more fi…

Formation Redshift of the Massive Black Holes Detected by LIGO

Razieh Emami, Abraham Loeb

We compare the event rate density detected by LIGO to the comoving number density of isolated stellar progenitors and find a range for their formation redshift. Our limit depends o…

Duality of Graph Invariants

Kaifeng Bu, Weichen Gu, Arthur Jaffe

We study a new set of duality relations between weighted, combinatoric invariants of a graph . The dualities arise from a non-linear transform , acting on the weig…

The Generic Holdout: Preventing False-Discoveries in Adaptive Data Science

Preetum Nakkiran, Jarosław Błasiok

Adaptive data analysis has posed a challenge to science due to its ability to generate false hypotheses on moderately large data sets. In general, with non-adaptive data analyses (…

Limit Densities of Patterns in Permutation Inflations

Tanya Khovanova, Eric Zhang

Call a permutation -inflatable if the sequence of its tensor products with uniform random permutations of increasing lengths has uniform -point pattern densities. Previous wo…

Embedded EthiCS: Integrating Ethics Broadly Across Computer Science Education

Barbara J. Grosz, David Gray Grant, Kate Vredenburgh +4

Computing technologies have become pervasive in daily life, sometimes bringing unintended but harmful consequences. For students to learn to think not only about what technology th…

Existence of hypersurfaces with prescribed mean curvature I - Generic min-max

Xin Zhou, Jonathan J. Zhu

We prove that, for a generic set of smooth prescription functions on a closed ambient manifold, there always exists a nontrivial, smooth, closed hypersurface of prescribed mean…

Probing shear-induced rearrangements in Fourier Space. II. Differential Dynamic Microscopy

Stefano Aime, Luca Cipelletti

We discuss in two companion papers (arXiv:1802.03737 and the present manuscript) how Fourier-space measurements may be coupled to rheological tests in order to elucidate the relati…

Robust Set Reconciliation via Locality Sensitive Hashing

Michael Mitzenmacher, Tom Morgan

We consider variations of set reconciliation problems where two parties, Alice and Bob, each hold a set of points in a metric space, and the goal is for Bob to conclude with a set…

Personalized Difficulty Adjustment for Countering the Double-Spending Attack in Proof-of-Work Consensus Protocols

Chi-Ning Chou, Yu-Jing Lin, Ren Chen +3

Bitcoin is the first secure decentralized electronic currency system. However, it is known to be inefficient due to its proof-of-work (PoW) consensus algorithm and has the potentia…

Variational Lagrangian formulation of the Euler equations for incompressible flow: A simple derivation

Mohammad Farazmand, Mattia Serra

In 1966, Arnold [1] showed that the Lagrangian flow of ideal incompressible fluids (described by Euler equations) coincide with the geodesic flow on the manifold of volume preservi…

Residual Balancing: A Method of Constructing Weights for Marginal Structural Models

Xiang Zhou, Geoffrey T. Wodtke

When making causal inferences, post-treatment confounders complicate analyses of time-varying treatment effects. Conditioning on these variables naively to estimate marginal effect…

Deciphering gene regulation from gene expression dynamics using deep neural network

Jingxiang Shen, Mariela D. Petkova, Yuhai Tu +2

Complex biological functions are carried out by the interaction of genes and proteins. Uncovering the gene regulation network behind a function is one of the central themes in biol…

Randomization Inference for Peer Effects

Xinran Li, Peng Ding, Qian Lin +2

Many previous causal inference studies require no interference, that is, the potential outcomes of a unit do not depend on the treatments of other units. However, this no-interfere…
