Charting the Topography of the Neural Network Landscape with Thermal-Like Noise

Theo Jules, Gal Brener, Tal Kachman +2

The training of neural networks is a complex, high-dimensional, non-convex and noisy optimization problem whose theoretical understanding is interesting both from an applicative pe…

Dynamically writing coupled memories using a reinforcement learning agent, meeting physical bounds

Théo Jules, Laura Michel, Adèle Douin +1

Traditional memory writing operations proceed one bit at a time, where e.g. an individual magnetic domain is force-flipped by a localized external field. One way to increase materi…

The delicate memory structure of origami switches

Théo Jules, Austin Reid, Karen E. Daniels +2

While memory effects emerge from systems of wildly varying length- and time-scales, the reduction of a complex system with many interacting elements into one simple enough to be un…

Curving Origami with Mechanical Frustration

Théo Jules, Frédéric Lechenault, Mokhtar Adda-Bedia

We study the three-dimensional equilibrium shape of a shell formed by a deployed accordion-like origami, made from an elastic sheet decorated by a series of parallel creases crosse…

Plasticity and Aging of Folded Elastic Sheets

Théo Jules, Frédéric Lechenault, Mokhtar Adda-Bedia

We investigate the dissipative mechanisms exhibited by creased material sheets when subjected to mechanical loading, which comes in the form of plasticity and relaxation phenomena…

Rotation of a submerged finite cylinder moving down a soft incline

Baudouin Saintyves, Bhargav Rallabandi, Theo Jules +5

A submerged finite cylinder moving under its own weight along a soft incline lifts off and slides at a steady velocity while also spinning. Here, we experimentally quantify the ste…
