These lectures were prepared for the 2014 PCMI graduate summer school and were designed to be a lightweight introduction to statistical mechanics for mathematicians. The applicatio…
A network that learns Strassen multiplication
Veit Elser
We study neural networks whose only non-linear components are multipliers, to test a new training rule in a context where the precise representation of data is paramount. These net…
The complexity of bit retrieval
Veit Elser
Bit retrieval is the problem of reconstructing a binary sequence from its periodic autocorrelation, with applications in cryptography and x-ray crystallography. After defining the…
Matrix product constraints by projection methods
Veit Elser
The decomposition of a matrix, as a product of factors with particular properties, is a much used tool in numerical analysis. Here we develop methods for decomposing a matrix i…
