Taken by Surprise: Contrast effect for Similarity Scores
Thomas C. Bachlechner, Mario Martone, Marjorie Schillo
Accurately evaluating the similarity of object vector embeddings is of critical importance for natural language processing, information retrieval and classification tasks. Popular…
ReZero is All You Need: Fast Convergence at Large Depth
Thomas Bachlechner, Bodhisattwa Prasad Majumder, Huanru Henry Mao +2
Deep networks often suffer from vanishing or exploding gradients due to inefficient signal propagation, leading to long training times or convergence difficulties. Various architec…
Testing Hamiltonian Reduced QED
Thomas C. Bachlechner
Certain gauge transformations may act non-trivially on physical states in quantum electrodynamics (QED). This observation has sparked the yet unresolved question of how to characte…
Testing the electric Aharonov-Bohm effect with superconductors
Thomas C. Bachlechner, Matthew Kleban
The phase of the wave function of charged matter is sensitive to the value of the electric potential, even when the matter never enters any region with non-vanishing electromagneti…
The Axidental Universe
Thomas C. Bachlechner, Kate Eckerle, Oliver Janssen +1
Theories with several hundred axion fields have enormous numbers of distinct meta-stable minima. A small fraction of these local minima have vacuum energy compatible with current m…
Black Hole Entropy in General Relativity
Thomas C. Bachlechner
The Bekenstein-Hawking formula relates the black hole entropy and horizon area. Semiclassical entropy computations have relied on an action principle that fixes a gauge dependent a…
