text: In addition to being correct, a system should be robust, that is, it should
behave reasonably even after receiving unexpected inputs. In this paper, we summarize
two formal notions of robustness that we have introduced previously for reactive
systems. One of the notions is based on assigning costs for failures on a user-provided
notion of incorrect transitions in a specification. Here, we define a system to
be robust if a finite number of incorrect inputs does not lead to an infinite
number of incorrect outputs. We also give a more refined notion of robustness
that aims to minimize the ratio of output failures to input failures. The second
notion is aimed at liveness. In contrast to the previous notion, it has no concept
of recovery from an error. Instead, it compares the ratio of the number of liveness
constraints that the system violates to the number of liveness constraints that
the environment violates.

text: Parvalbumin is thought to act in a manner similar to EGTA, but how a slow
Ca2+ buffer affects nanodomain-coupling regimes at GABAergic synapses is unclear.
Direct measurements of parvalbumin concentration and paired recordings in rodent
hippocampus and cerebellum revealed that parvalbumin affects synaptic dynamics
only when expressed at high levels. Modeling suggests that, in high concentrations,
parvalbumin may exert BAPTA-like effects, modulating nanodomain coupling via competition
with local saturation of endogenous fixed buffers.

text: We address the problem of metric learning for multi-view data, namely the
construction of embedding projections from data in different representations into
a shared feature space, such that the Euclidean distance in this space provides
a meaningful within-view as well as between-view similarity. Our motivation stems
from the problem of cross-media retrieval tasks, where the availability of a joint
Euclidean distance function is a pre-requisite to allow fast, in particular hashing-based,
nearest neighbor queries. We formulate an objective function that expresses the
intuitive concept that matching samples are mapped closely together in the output
space, whereas non-matching samples are pushed apart, no matter in which view
they are available. The resulting optimization problem is not convex, but it can
be decomposed explicitly into a convex and a concave part, thereby allowing efficient
optimization using the convex-concave procedure. Experiments on an image retrieval
task show that nearest-neighbor based cross-view retrieval is indeed possible,
and the proposed technique improves the retrieval accuracy over baseline techniques.

text: Powerful statistical models that can be learned efficiently from large amounts
of data are currently revolutionizing computer vision. These models possess a
rich internal structure reflecting task-specific relations and constraints. This
monograph introduces the reader to the most popular classes of structured models
in computer vision. Our focus is discrete undirected graphical models which we
cover in detail together with a description of algorithms for both probabilistic
inference and maximum a posteriori inference. We discuss separately recently successful
techniques for prediction in general structured models. In the second part of
this monograph we describe methods for parameter learning where we distinguish
the classic maximum likelihood based methods from the more recent prediction-based
parameter learning methods. We highlight developments to enhance current models
and discuss kernelized models and latent variable models. To make the monograph
more practical and to provide links to further study we provide examples of successful
application of many methods in the computer vision literature.

text: We study multi-label prediction for structured output spaces, a problem that
occurs, for example, in object detection in images, secondary structure prediction
in computational biology, and graph matching with symmetries. Conventional multi-label
classification techniques are typically not applicable in this situation, because
they require explicit enumeration of the label space, which is infeasible in case
of structured outputs. Relying on techniques originally designed for single- label
structured prediction, in particular structured support vector machines, results
in reduced prediction accuracy, or leads to infeasible optimization problems.
In this work we derive a maximum-margin training formulation for multi-label structured
prediction that remains computationally tractable while achieving high prediction
accuracy. It also shares most beneficial properties with single-label maximum-margin
approaches, in particular a formulation as a convex optimization problem, efficient
working set training, and PAC-Bayesian generalization bounds.

text: We present a new decidable logic called TREX for expressing constraints about
imperative tree data structures. In particular, TREX supports a transitive closure
operator that can express reachability constraints, which often appear in data
structure invariants. We show that our logic is closed under weakest precondition
computation, which enables its use for automated software verification. We further
show that satisfiability of formulas in TREX is decidable in NP. The low complexity
makes it an attractive alternative to more expensive logics such as monadic second-order
logic (MSOL) over trees, which have been traditionally used for reasoning about
tree data structures.

text: 'Automated termination provers often use the following schema to prove that
a program terminates: construct a relational abstraction of the program''s transition
relation and then show that the relational abstraction is well-founded. The focus
of current tools has been on developing sophisticated techniques for constructing
the abstractions while relying on known decidable logics (such as linear arithmetic)
to express them. We believe we can significantly increase the class of programs
that are amenable to automated termination proofs by identifying more expressive
decidable logics for reasoning about well-founded relations. We therefore present
a new decision procedure for reasoning about multiset orderings, which are among
the most powerful orderings used to prove termination. We show that, using our
decision procedure, one can automatically prove termination of natural abstractions
of programs.'

text: We introduce streaming data string transducers that map input data strings
to output data strings in a single left-to-right pass in linear time. Data strings
are (unbounded) sequences of data values, tagged with symbols from a finite set,
over a potentially infinite data do- main that supports only the operations of
equality and ordering. The transducer uses a finite set of states, a finite set
of variables ranging over the data domain, and a finite set of variables ranging
over data strings. At every step, it can make decisions based on the next in-
put symbol, updating its state, remembering the input data value in its data variables,
and updating data-string variables by concatenat- ing data-string variables and
new symbols formed from data vari- ables, while avoiding duplication. We establish
that the problems of checking functional equivalence of two streaming transducers,
and of checking whether a streaming transducer satisfies pre/post verification
conditions specified by streaming acceptors over in- put/output data-strings,
are in PSPACE. We identify a class of imperative and a class of functional pro-
grams, manipulating lists of data items, which can be effectively translated to
streaming data-string transducers. The imperative pro- grams dynamically modify
a singly-linked heap by changing next- pointers of heap-nodes and by adding new
nodes. The main re- striction specifies how the next-pointers can be used for
traversal. We also identify an expressively equivalent fragment of functional
programs that traverse a list using syntactically restricted recursive calls.
Our results lead to algorithms for assertion checking and for checking functional
equivalence of two programs, written possibly in different programming styles,
for commonly used routines such as insert, delete, and reverse.

text: 'Weighted automata map input words to numerical values. Ap- plications of
weighted automata include formal verification of quantitative properties, as well
as text, speech, and image processing. A weighted au- tomaton is defined with
respect to a semiring. For the tropical semiring, the weight of a run is the sum
of the weights of the transitions taken along the run, and the value of a word
is the minimal weight of an accepting run on it. In the 90’s, Krob studied the
decidability of problems on rational series defined with respect to the tropical
semiring. Rational series are strongly related to weighted automata, and Krob’s
results apply to them. In par- ticular, it follows from Krob’s results that the
universality problem (that is, deciding whether the values of all words are below
some threshold) is decidable for weighted automata defined with respect to the
tropical semir- ing with domain ∪ {∞}, and that the equality problem is undecidable
when the domain is ∪ {∞}. In this paper we continue the study of the borders of
decidability in weighted automata, describe alternative and direct proofs of the
above results, and tighten them further. Unlike the proofs of Krob, which are
algebraic in their nature, our proofs stay in the terrain of state machines, and
the reduction is from the halting problem of a two-counter machine. This enables
us to significantly simplify Krob’s reasoning, make the un- decidability result
accessible to the automata-theoretic community, and strengthen it to apply already
to a very simple class of automata: all the states are accepting, there are no
initial nor final weights, and all the weights on the transitions are from the
set {−1, 0, 1}. The fact we work directly with the automata enables us to tighten
also the decidability re- sults and to show that the universality problem for
weighted automata defined with respect to the tropical semiring with domain ∪
{∞}, and in fact even with domain ≥0 ∪ {∞}, is PSPACE-complete. Our results thus
draw a sharper picture about the decidability of decision problems for weighted
automata, in both the front of containment vs. universality and the front of the
∪ {∞} vs. the ∪ {∞} domains.'

text: 'We report on a generic uni- and bivariate algebraic kernel that is publicly
available with CGAL 3.7. It comprises complete, correct, though efficient state-of-the-art
implementations on polynomials, roots of polynomial systems, and the support to
analyze algebraic curves defined by bivariate polynomials. The kernel design is
generic, that is, various number types and substeps can be exchanged. It is accompanied
with a ready-to-use interface to enable arrangements induced by algebraic curves,
that have already been used as basis for various geometric applications, as arrangements
on Dupin cyclides or the triangulation of algebraic surfaces. We present two novel
applications: arrangements of rotated algebraic curves and Boolean set operations
on polygons bounded by segments of algebraic curves. We also provide experiments
showing that our general implementation is competitive and even often clearly
outperforms existing implementations that are explicitly tailored for specific
types of non-linear curves that are available in CGAL.'

text: 'We consider the offset-deconstruction problem: Given a polygonal shape Q
with n vertices, can it be expressed, up to a tolerance µ in Hausdorff distance,
as the Minkowski sum of another polygonal shape P with a disk of fixed radius?
If it does, we also seek a preferably simple-looking solution shape P; then, P''s
offset constitutes an accurate, vertex-reduced, and smoothened approximation of
Q. We give an O(n log n)-time exact decision algorithm that handles any polygonal
shape, assuming the real-RAM model of computation. An alternative algorithm, based
purely on rational arithmetic, answers the same deconstruction problem, up to
an uncertainty parameter, and its running time depends on the parameter δ (in
addition to the other input parameters: n, δ and the radius of the disk). If the
input shape is found to be approximable, the rational-arithmetic algorithm also
computes an approximate solution shape for the problem. For convex shapes, the
complexity of the exact decision algorithm drops to O(n), which is also the time
required to compute a solution shape P with at most one more vertex than a vertex-minimal
one. Our study is motivated by applications from two different domains. However,
since the offset operation has numerous uses, we anticipate that the reverse question
that we study here will be still more broadly applicable. We present results obtained
with our implementation of the rational-arithmetic algorithm.'

text: We consider the problem of approximating all real roots of a square-free polynomial
f. Given isolating intervals, our algorithm refines each of them to a width at
most 2-L, that is, each of the roots is approximated to L bits after the binary
point. Our method provides a certified answer for arbitrary real polynomials,
only requiring finite approximations of the polynomial coefficient and choosing
a suitable working precision adaptively. In this way, we get a correct algorithm
that is simple to implement and practically efficient. Our algorithm uses the
quadratic interval refinement method; we adapt that method to be able to cope
with inaccuracies when evaluating f, without sacrificing its quadratic convergence
behavior. We prove a bound on the bit complexity of our algorithm in terms of
degree, coefficient size and discriminant. Our bound improves previous work on
integer polynomials by a factor of deg f and essentially matches best known theoretical
bounds on root approximation which are obtained by very sophisticated algorithms.

for a simplicial complex isotopic to O? We address this problem and the variant
where all vertices of the complex must lie on O. We give asymptotically tight
worst-case bounds for algebraic plane curves. Our results gradually improve known
bounds in higher dimensions; however, the question for tight bounds remains unsolved
for d ≥ 3.

text: We study the topology of the Megaparsec Cosmic Web in terms of the scale-dependent
Betti numbers, which formalize the topological information content of the cosmic
mass distribution. While the Betti numbers do not fully quantify topology, they
extend the information beyond conventional cosmological studies of topology in
terms of genus and Euler characteristic. The richer information content of Betti
numbers goes along the availability of fast algorithms to compute them. For continuous
density fields, we determine the scale-dependence of Betti numbers by invoking
the cosmologically familiar filtration of sublevel or superlevel sets defined
by density thresholds. For the discrete galaxy distribution, however, the analysis
is based on the alpha shapes of the particles. These simplicial complexes constitute
an ordered sequence of nested subsets of the Delaunay tessellation, a filtration
defined by the scale parameter, α. As they are homotopy equivalent to the sublevel
sets of the distance field, they are an excellent tool for assessing the topological
structure of a discrete point distribution. In order to develop an intuitive understanding
for the behavior of Betti numbers as a function of α, and their relation to the
morphological patterns in the Cosmic Web, we first study them within the context
of simple heuristic Voronoi clustering models. These can be tuned to consist of
specific morphological elements of the Cosmic Web, i.e. clusters, filaments, or
sheets. To elucidate the relative prominence of the various Betti numbers in different
stages of morphological evolution, we introduce the concept of alpha tracks. Subsequently,
we address the topology of structures emerging in the standard LCDM scenario and
in cosmological scenarios with alternative dark energy content. The evolution
of the Betti numbers is shown to reflect the hierarchical evolution of the Cosmic
Web. We also demonstrate that the scale-dependence of the Betti numbers yields
a promising measure of cosmological parameters, with a potential to help in determining
the nature of dark energy and to probe primordial non-Gaussianities. We also discuss
the expected Betti numbers as a function of the density threshold for superlevel
sets of a Gaussian random field. Finally, we introduce the concept of persistent
homology. It measures scale levels of the mass distribution and allows us to separate
small from large scale features. Within the context of the hierarchical cosmic
structure formation, persistence provides a natural formalism for a multiscale
topology study of the Cosmic Web.

text: 'We introduce TopoCut: a new way to integrate knowledge about topological
properties (TPs) into random field image segmentation model. Instead of including
TPs as additional constraints during minimization of the energy function, we devise
an efficient algorithm for modifying the unary potentials such that the resulting
segmentation is guaranteed with the desired properties. Our method is more flexible
in the sense that it handles more topology constraints than previous methods,
which were only able to enforce pairwise or global connectivity. In particular,
our method is very fast, making it for the first time possible to enforce global
topological properties in practical image segmentation tasks.'

text: Playing table tennis is a difficult task for robots, especially due to their
limitations of acceleration. A key bottleneck is the amount of time needed to
reach the desired hitting position and velocity of the racket for returning the
incoming ball. Here, it often does not suffice to simply extrapolate the ball's
trajectory after the opponent returns it but more information is needed. Humans
are able to predict the ball's trajectory based on the opponent's moves and, thus,
have a considerable advantage. Hence, we propose to incorporate an anticipation
system into robot table tennis players, which enables the robot to react earlier
while the opponent is performing the striking movement. Based on visual observation
of the opponent's racket movement, the robot can predict the aim of the opponent
and adjust its movement generation accordingly. The policies for deciding how
and when to react are obtained by reinforcement learning. We conduct experiments
with an existing robot player to show that the learned reaction policy can significantly
improve the performance of the overall system.

text: 'We consider 2-player games played on a finite state space for an infinite
number of rounds. The games are concurrent: in each round, the two players (player
1 and player 2) choose their moves inde- pendently and simultaneously; the current
state and the two moves determine the successor state. We study concurrent games
with ω-regular winning conditions specified as parity objectives. We consider
the qualitative analysis problems: the computation of the almost-sure and limit-sure
winning set of states, where player 1 can ensure to win with probability 1 and
with probability arbitrarily close to 1, respec- tively. In general the almost-sure
and limit-sure winning strategies require both infinite-memory as well as infinite-precision
(to describe probabilities). We study the bounded-rationality problem for qualitative
analysis of concurrent parity games, where the strategy set for player 1 is restricted
to bounded-resource strategies. In terms of precision, strategies can be deterministic,
uniform, finite-precision or infinite- precision; and in terms of memory, strategies
can be memoryless, finite-memory or infinite-memory. We present a precise and
complete characterization of the qualitative winning sets for all combinations
of classes of strategies. In particular, we show that uniform memoryless strategies
are as powerful as finite-precision infinite-memory strategies, and infinite-precision
memoryless strategies are as power- ful as infinite-precision finite-memory strategies.
We show that the winning sets can be computed in O(n2d+3) time, where n is the
size of the game structure and 2d is the number of priorities (or colors), and
our algorithms are symbolic. The membership problem of whether a state belongs
to a winning set can be decided in NP ∩ coNP. While this complexity is the same
as for the simpler class of turn-based parity games, where in each state only
one of the two players has a choice of moves, our algorithms, that are obtained
by characterization of the winning sets as μ-calculus formulas, are considerably
more involved than those for turn-based games.'

text: 'Turn-based stochastic games and its important subclass Markov decision processes
(MDPs) provide models for systems with both probabilistic and nondeterministic
behaviors. We consider turn-based stochastic games with two classical quantitative
objectives: discounted-sum and long-run average objectives. The game models and
the quantitative objectives are widely used in probabilistic verification, planning,
optimal inventory control, network protocol and performance analysis. Games and
MDPs that model realistic systems often have very large state spaces, and probabilistic
abstraction techniques are necessary to handle the state-space explosion. The
commonly used full-abstraction techniques do not yield space-savings for systems
that have many states with similar value, but does not necessarily have similar
transition structure. A semi-abstraction technique, namely Magnifying-lens abstractions
(MLA), that clusters states based on value only, disregarding differences in their
transition relation was proposed for qualitative objectives (reachability and
safety objectives). In this paper we extend the MLA technique to solve stochastic
games with discounted-sum and long-run average objectives. We present the MLA
technique based abstraction-refinement algorithm for stochastic games and MDPs
with discounted-sum objectives. For long-run average objectives, our solution
works for all MDPs and a sub-class of stochastic games where every state has the
same value. '

text: 'We consider Markov decision processes (MDPs) with ω-regular specifications
given as parity objectives. We consider the problem of computing the set of almost-sure
winning states from where the objective can be ensured with probability 1. The
algorithms for the computation of the almost-sure winning set for parity objectives
iteratively use the solutions for the almost-sure winning set for Büchi objectives
(a special case of parity objectives). Our contributions are as follows: First,
we present the first subquadratic symbolic algorithm to compute the almost-sure
winning set for MDPs with Büchi objectives; our algorithm takes O(nm) symbolic
steps as compared to the previous known algorithm that takes O(n 2) symbolic steps,
where n is the number of states and m is the number of edges of the MDP. In practice
MDPs often have constant out-degree, and then our symbolic algorithm takes O(nn) symbolic
steps, as compared to the previous known O(n 2) symbolic steps algorithm. Second,
we present a new algorithm, namely win-lose algorithm, with the following two
properties: (a) the algorithm iteratively computes subsets of the almost-sure
winning set and its complement, as compared to all previous algorithms that discover
the almost-sure winning set upon termination; and (b) requires O(nK) symbolic
steps, where K is the maximal number of edges of strongly connected components
(scc’s) of the MDP. The win-lose algorithm requires symbolic computation of scc’s.
Third, we improve the algorithm for symbolic scc computation; the previous known
algorithm takes linear symbolic steps, and our new algorithm improves the constants
associated with the linear number of steps. In the worst case the previous known
algorithm takes 5·n symbolic steps, whereas our new algorithm takes 4 ·n symbolic
steps.'
