Causal Atlases from Entropic Inference: Bayesian Networks beyond Optimal DAGs
Hazhir Aliahmadi, Irina Babayan, Greg van Anders
Data-driven causal relationship identification is pertinent to advancing understanding of complex systems both within and beyond science. Bayesian networks offer a probabilistic me…
Entropic Auto-Encoding via Implicit Free-Energy Minimization
Hazhir Aliahmadi, Irina Babayan, Greg van Anders
Despite their ubiquity, variational autoencoders (VAEs) inherently suffer from posterior collapse, a failure mode in which latent variables are effectively ignored. This failure ar…
Flashpoints Signal Hidden Inherent Instabilities in Land-Use Planning
Hazhir Aliahmadi, Maeve Beckett, Sam Connolly +2
Land-use decision-making processes have a long history of producing globally pervasive systemic equity and sustainability concerns. Quantitative, optimization-based planning approa…
Holographic Non-Fermi Liquids and the Luttinger Theorem
Finn Larsen, Greg van Anders
We show that the Luttinger theorem, a robust feature of Fermi liquids, can be violated in non-Fermi liquids. We compute non-Fermi liquid Green functions using duality to black hole…
First Results from Lattice Simulation of the PWMM
Simon Catterall, Greg van Anders
We present results of lattice simulations of the Plane Wave Matrix Model (PWMM). The PWMM is a theory of supersymmetric quantum mechanics that has a well-defined canonical ensemble…
Little String Theory from Double-Scaling Limits of Field Theories
Henry Ling, Hsien-Hang Shieh, Greg van Anders
We show that little string theory on S^5 can be obtained as double-scaling limits of the maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories on RxS^2 and RxS^3/Z_k. By matching the gauge…
