Barracuda: The Power of -polling in Proof-of-Stake Blockchains
Giulia Fanti, Jiantao Jiao, Ashok Makkuva +3
A blockchain is a database of sequential events that is maintained by a distributed group of nodes. A key consensus problem in blockchains is that of determining the next block (da…
Optimal transport mapping via input convex neural networks
Ashok Vardhan Makkuva, Amirhossein Taghvaei, Sewoong Oh +1
In this paper, we present a novel and principled approach to learn the optimal transport between two distributions, from samples. Guided by the optimal transport theory, we learn t…
Learning in Gated Neural Networks
Ashok Vardhan Makkuva, Sewoong Oh, Sreeram Kannan +1
Gating is a key feature in modern neural networks including LSTMs, GRUs and sparsely-gated deep neural networks. The backbone of such gated networks is a mixture-of-experts layer,…
