text: 'The monotone secant conjecture posits a rich class of polynomial systems,
all of whose solutions are real. These systems come from the Schubert calculus
on flag manifolds, and the monotone secant conjecture is a compelling generalization
of the Shapiro conjecture for Grassmannians (Theorem of Mukhin, Tarasov, and Varchenko).
We present some theoretical evidence for this conjecture, as well as computational
evidence obtained by 1.9 teraHertz-years of computing, and we discuss some of
the phenomena we observed in our data. '

text: The paper describes a generalized iterative proportional fitting procedure
that can be used for maximum likelihood estimation in a special class of the general
log-linear model. The models in this class, called relational, apply to multivariate
discrete sample spaces that do not necessarily have a Cartesian product structure
and may not contain an overall effect. When applied to the cell probabilities,
the models without the overall effect are curved exponential families and the
values of the sufficient statistics are reproduced by the MLE only up to a constant
of proportionality. The paper shows that Iterative Proportional Fitting, Generalized
Iterative Scaling, and Improved Iterative Scaling fail to work for such models.
The algorithm proposed here is based on iterated Bregman projections. As a by-product,
estimates of the multiplicative parameters are also obtained. An implementation
of the algorithm is available as an R-package.

text: The concepts of faithfulness and strong-faithfulness are important for statistical
learning of graphical models. Graphs are not sufficient for describing the association
structure of a discrete distribution. Hypergraphs representing hierarchical log-linear
models are considered instead, and the concept of parametric (strong-) faithfulness
with respect to a hypergraph is introduced. Strong-faithfulness ensures the existence
of uniformly consistent parameter estimators and enables building uniformly consistent
procedures for a hypergraph search. The strength of association in a discrete
distribution can be quantified with various measures, leading to different concepts
of strong-faithfulness. Lower and upper bounds for the proportions of distributions
that do not satisfy strong-faithfulness are computed for different parameterizations
and measures of association.

text: Small GTP-binding proteins of the Ras superfamily play diverse roles in intracellular
trafficking. Among them, the Rab, Arf, and Rho families function in successive
steps of vesicle transport, in forming vesicles from donor membranes, directing
vesicle trafficking toward target membranes and docking vesicles onto target membranes.
These proteins act as molecular switches that are controlled by a cycle of GTP
binding and hydrolysis regulated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs)
and GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs). In this study we explored the role of GAPs
in the regulation of the endocytic pathway using fluorescently labeled yeast mating
pheromone α-factor. Among 25 non-essential GAP mutants, we found that deletion
of the GLO3 gene, encoding Arf-GAP protein, caused defective internalization of
fluorescently labeled α-factor. Quantitative analysis revealed that glo3Δ cells
show defective α-factor binding to the cell surface. Interestingly, Ste2p, the
α-factor receptor, was mis-localized from the plasma membrane to the vacuole in
glo3Δ cells. Domain deletion mutants of Glo3p revealed that a GAP-independent
function, as well as the GAP activity, of Glo3p is important for both α-factor
binding and Ste2p localization at the cell surface. Additionally, we found that
deletion of the GLO3 gene affects the size and number of Arf1p-residing Golgi
compartments and causes a defect in transport from the TGN to the plasma membrane.
Furthermore, we demonstrated that glo3Δ cells were defective in the late endosome-to-TGN
transport pathway, but not in the early endosome-to-TGN transport pathway. These
findings suggest novel roles for Arf-GAP Glo3p in endocytic recycling of cell
surface proteins.

text: A hybrid-parallel direct-numerical-simulation method with application to turbulent
Taylor-Couette flow is presented. The Navier-Stokes equations are discretized
in cylindrical coordinates with the spectral Fourier-Galerkin method in the axial
and azimuthal directions, and high-order finite differences in the radial direction.
Time is advanced by a second-order, semi-implicit projection scheme, which requires
the solution of five Helmholtz/Poisson equations, avoids staggered grids and renders
very small slip velocities. Nonlinear terms are evaluated with the pseudospectral
method. The code is parallelized using a hybrid MPI-OpenMP strategy, which, compared
with a flat MPI parallelization, is simpler to implement, allows to reduce inter-node
communications and MPI overhead that become relevant at high processor-core counts,
and helps to contain the memory footprint. A strong scaling study shows that the
hybrid code maintains scalability up to more than 20,000 processor cores and thus
allows to perform simulations at higher resolutions than previously feasible.
In particular, it opens up the possibility to simulate turbulent Taylor-Couette
flows at Reynolds numbers up to O(105). This enables to probe hydrodynamic turbulence
in Keplerian flows in experimentally relevant regimes.

text: Opacity is a generic security property, that has been defined on (non-probabilistic)
transition systems and later on Markov chains with labels. For a secret predicate,
given as a subset of runs, and a function describing the view of an external observer,
the value of interest for opacity is a measure of the set of runs disclosing the
secret. We extend this definition to the richer framework of Markov decision processes,
where non-deterministicchoice is combined with probabilistic transitions, and
we study related decidability problems with partial or complete observation hypotheses
for the schedulers. We prove that all questions are decidable with complete observation
and ω-regular secrets. With partial observation, we prove that all quantitative
questions are undecidable but the question whether a system is almost surely non-opaquebecomes
decidable for a restricted class of ω-regular secrets, as well as for all ω-regular
secrets under finite-memory schedulers.

text: "Considering a continuous self-map and the induced endomorphism on homology,
we study the eigenvalues and eigenspaces of the latter. Taking a filtration of
representations, we define the persistence of the eigenspaces, effectively introducing
a hierarchical organization of the map. The algorithm that computes this information
for a finite sample is proved to be stable, and to give the correct answer for
a sufficiently dense sample. Results computed with an implementation of the algorithm
provide evidence of its practical utility.\r\n"

text: In plants, vacuolar H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) activity acidifies both the trans-Golgi
network/early endosome (TGN/EE) and the vacuole. This dual V-ATPase function has
impeded our understanding of how the pH homeostasis within the plant TGN/EE controls
exo- and endocytosis. Here, we show that the weak V-ATPase mutant deetiolated3
(det3) displayed a pH increase in the TGN/EE, but not in the vacuole, strongly
impairing secretion and recycling of the brassinosteroid receptor and the cellulose
synthase complexes to the plasma membrane, in contrast to mutants lacking tonoplast-localized
V-ATPase activity only. The brassinosteroid insensitivity and the cellulose deficiency
defects in det3 were tightly correlated with reduced Golgi and TGN/EE motility.
Thus, our results provide strong evidence that acidification of the TGN/EE, but
not of the vacuole, is indispensable for functional secretion and recycling in
plants.

text: This thesis is concerned with the computation and approximation of intrinsic
volumes. Given a smooth body M and a certain digital approximation of it, we develop
algorithms to approximate various intrinsic volumes of M using only measurements
taken from its digital approximations. The crucial idea behind our novel algorithms
is to link the recent theory of persistent homology to the theory of intrinsic
volumes via the Crofton formula from integral geometry and, in particular, via
Euler characteristic computations. Our main contributions are a multigrid convergent
digital algorithm to compute the first intrinsic volume of a solid body in R^n
as well as an appropriate integration pipeline to approximate integral-geometric
integrals defined over the Grassmannian manifold.

text: Cancer results from an uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. Sequentially
accumulated genetic and epigenetic alterations decrease cell death and increase
cell replication. We used mathematical models to quantify the effect of driver
gene mutations. The recently developed targeted therapies can lead to dramatic
regressions. However, in solid cancers, clinical responses are often short-lived
because resistant cancer cells evolve. We estimated that approximately 50 different
mutations can confer resistance to a typical targeted therapeutic agent. We find
that resistant cells are likely to be present in expanded subclones before the
start of the treatment. The dominant strategy to prevent the evolution of resistance
is combination therapy. Our analytical results suggest that in most patients,
dual therapy, but not monotherapy, can result in long-term disease control. However,
long-term control can only occur if there are no possible mutations in the genome
that can cause cross-resistance to both drugs. Furthermore, we showed that simultaneous
therapy with two drugs is much more likely to result in long-term disease control
than sequential therapy with the same drugs. To improve our understanding of the
underlying subclonal evolution we reconstruct the evolutionary history of a patient's
cancer from next-generation sequencing data of spatially-distinct DNA samples.
Using a quantitative measure of genetic relatedness, we found that pancreatic
cancers and their metastases demonstrated a higher level of relatedness than that
expected for any two cells randomly taken from a normal tissue. This minimal amount
of genetic divergence among advanced lesions indicates that genetic heterogeneity,
when quantitatively defined, is not a fundamental feature of the natural history
of untreated pancreatic cancers. Our newly developed, phylogenomic tool Treeomics
finds evidence for seeding patterns of metastases and can directly be used to
discover rules governing the evolution of solid malignancies to transform cancer
into a more predictable disease.

text: 'The human ability to recognize objects in complex scenes has driven research
in the computer vision field over couple of decades. This thesis focuses on the
object recognition task in images. That is, given the image, we want the computer
system to be able to predict the class of the object that appears in the image.
A recent successful attempt to bridge semantic understanding of the image perceived
by humans and by computers uses attribute-based models. Attributes are semantic
properties of the objects shared across different categories, which humans and
computers can decide on. To explore the attribute-based models we take a statistical
machine learning approach, and address two key learning challenges in view of
object recognition task: learning augmented attributes as mid-level discriminative
feature representation, and learning with attributes as privileged information.
Our main contributions are parametric and non-parametric models and algorithms
to solve these frameworks. In the parametric approach, we explore an autoencoder
model combined with the large margin nearest neighbor principle for mid-level
feature learning, and linear support vector machines for learning with privileged
information. In the non-parametric approach, we propose a supervised Indian Buffet
Process for automatic augmentation of semantic attributes, and explore the Gaussian
Processes classification framework for learning with privileged information. A
thorough experimental analysis shows the effectiveness of the proposed models
in both parametric and non-parametric views.'

text: We consider the problem of statistical computations with persistence diagrams,
a summary representation of topological features in data. These diagrams encode
persistent homology, a widely used invariant in topological data analysis. While
several avenues towards a statistical treatment of the diagrams have been explored
recently, we follow an alternative route that is motivated by the success of methods
based on the embedding of probability measures into reproducing kernel Hilbert
spaces. In fact, a positive definite kernel on persistence diagrams has recently
been proposed, connecting persistent homology to popular kernel-based learning
techniques such as support vector machines. However, important properties of that
kernel enabling a principled use in the context of probability measure embeddings
remain to be explored. Our contribution is to close this gap by proving universality
of a variant of the original kernel, and to demonstrate its effective use in twosample
hypothesis testing on synthetic as well as real-world data.

text: 'In this work we aim at extending the theoretical foundations of lifelong
learning. Previous work analyzing this scenario is based on the assumption that
learning tasks are sampled i.i.d. from a task environment or limited to strongly
constrained data distributions. Instead, we study two scenarios when lifelong
learning is possible, even though the observed tasks do not form an i.i.d. sample:
first, when they are sampled from the same environment, but possibly with dependencies,
and second, when the task environment is allowed to change over time in a consistent
way. In the first case we prove a PAC-Bayesian theorem that can be seen as a direct
generalization of the analogous previous result for the i.i.d. case. For the second
scenario we propose to learn an inductive bias in form of a transfer procedure.
We present a generalization bound and show on a toy example how it can be used
to identify a beneficial transfer algorithm.'

text: Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) form a popular optimisation paradigm inspired
by natural evolution. In recent years the field of evolutionary computation has
developed a rigorous analytical theory to analyse their runtime on many illustrative
problems. Here we apply this theory to a simple model of natural evolution. In
the Strong Selection Weak Mutation (SSWM) evolutionary regime the time between
occurrence of new mutations is much longer than the time it takes for a new beneficial
mutation to take over the population. In this situation, the population only contains
copies of one genotype and evolution can be modelled as a (1+1)-type process where
the probability of accepting a new genotype (improvements or worsenings) depends
on the change in fitness. We present an initial runtime analysis of SSWM, quantifying
its performance for various parameters and investigating differences to the (1+1)
EA. We show that SSWM can have a moderate advantage over the (1+1) EA at crossing
fitness valleys and study an example where SSWM outperforms the (1+1) EA by taking
advantage of information on the fitness gradient.

text: Cryptographic access control offers selective access to encrypted data via
a combination of key management and functionality-rich cryptographic schemes,
such as attribute-based encryption. Using this approach, publicly available meta-data
may inadvertently leak information on the access policy that is enforced by cryptography,
which renders cryptographic access control unusable in settings where this information
is highly sensitive. We begin to address this problem by presenting rigorous definitions
for policy privacy in cryptographic access control. For concreteness we set our
results in the model of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), where we identify and
formalize several different flavors of privacy, however, our framework should
serve as inspiration for other models of access control. Based on our insights
we propose a new system which significantly improves on the privacy properties
of state-of-the-art constructions. Our design is based on a novel type of privacy-preserving
attribute-based encryption, which we introduce and show how to instantiate. We
present our results in the context of a cryptographic RBAC system by Ferrara et
al. (CSF'13), which uses cryptography to control read access to files, while write
access is still delegated to trusted monitors. We give an extension of the construction
that permits cryptographic control over write access. Our construction assumes
that key management uses out-of-band channels between the policy enforcer and
the users but eliminates completely the need for monitoring read/write access
to the data.

text: "We consider Markov decision processes (MDPs) with multiple limit-average
(or mean-payoff) objectives. \r\nThere have been two different views: (i) the
expectation semantics, where the goal is to optimize the expected mean-payoff
objective, and (ii) the satisfaction semantics, where the goal is to maximize
the probability of runs such that the mean-payoff value stays above a given vector.
\ \r\nWe consider the problem where the goal is to optimize the expectation under
the constraint that the satisfaction semantics is ensured, and thus consider a
generalization that unifies the existing semantics.\r\nOur problem captures the
notion of optimization with respect to strategies that are risk-averse (i.e.,
ensures certain probabilistic guarantee).\r\nOur main results are algorithms for
the decision problem which are always polynomial in the size of the MDP. We also
show that an approximation of the Pareto-curve can be computed in time polynomial
in the size of the MDP, and the approximation factor, but exponential in the number
of dimensions.\r\nFinally, we present a complete characterization of the strategy
complexity (in terms of memory bounds and randomization) required to solve our
problem."

text: We consider the core algorithmic problems related to verification of systems
with respect to three classical quantitative properties, namely, the mean- payoff
property, the ratio property, and the minimum initial credit for energy property.
The algorithmic problem given a graph and a quantitative property asks to compute
the optimal value (the infimum value over all traces) from every node of the graph.
We consider graphs with constant treewidth, and it is well-known that the control-flow
graphs of most programs have constant treewidth. Let n denote the number of nodes
of a graph, m the number of edges (for constant treewidth graphs m = O ( n ) )
and W the largest absolute value of the weights. Our main theoretical results
are as follows. First, for constant treewidth graphs we present an algorithm that
approximates the mean-payoff value within a mul- tiplicative factor of ∊ in time
O ( n · log( n/∊ )) and linear space, as compared to the classical algorithms
that require quadratic time. Second, for the ratio property we present an algorithm
that for constant treewidth graphs works in time O ( n · log( | a · b · n | ))
= O ( n · log( n · W )) , when the output is a b , as compared to the previously
best known algorithm with running time O ( n 2 · log( n · W )) . Third, for the
minimum initial credit problem we show that (i) for general graphs the problem
can be solved in O ( n 2 · m ) time and the associated decision problem can be
solved in O ( n · m ) time, improving the previous known O ( n 3 · m · log( n
· W )) and O ( n 2 · m ) bounds, respectively; and (ii) for constant treewidth
graphs we present an algorithm that requires O ( n · log n ) time, improving the
previous known O ( n 4 · log( n · W )) bound. We have implemented some of our
algorithms and show that they present a significant speedup on standard benchmarks.

text: "We consider finite-state concurrent stochastic games, played by k>=2 players
for an infinite number of rounds, where in every round, each player simultaneously
and independently of the other players chooses an action, whereafter the successor
state is determined by a probability distribution given by the current state and
the chosen actions. We consider reachability objectives that given a target set
of states require that some state in the target set is visited, and the dual safety
objectives that given a target set require that only states in the target set
are visited. We are interested in the complexity of stationary strategies measured
by their patience, which is defined as the inverse of the smallest non-zero probability
employed.\r\n\r\n Our main results are as follows: We show that in two-player
zero-sum concurrent stochastic games (with reachability objective for one player
and the complementary safety objective for the other player): (i) the optimal
bound on the patience of optimal and epsilon-optimal strategies, for both players
is doubly exponential; and (ii) even in games with a single non-absorbing state
exponential (in the number of actions) patience is necessary. In general we study
the class of non-zero-sum games admitting epsilon-Nash equilibria. We show that
if there is at least one player with reachability objective, then doubly-exponential
patience is needed in general for epsilon-Nash equilibrium strategies, whereas
in contrast if all players have safety objectives, then the optimal bound on patience
for epsilon-Nash equilibrium strategies is only exponential."

text: "Evolution occurs in populations of reproducing individuals. The structure
of the population affects the outcome of the evolutionary process. Evolutionary
graph theory is a powerful approach to study this phenomenon. There are two graphs.
The interaction graph specifies who interacts with whom in the context of evolution.The
replacement graph specifies who competes with whom for reproduction. \r\nThe vertices
of the two graphs are the same, and each vertex corresponds to an individual of
the population. A key quantity is the fixation probability of a new mutant. It
is defined as the probability that a newly introduced mutant (on a single vertex)
generates a lineage of offspring which eventually takes over the entire population
of resident individuals. The basic computational questions are as follows: (i)
the qualitative question asks whether the fixation probability is positive; and
(ii) the quantitative approximation question asks for an approximation of the
fixation probability. \r\nOur main results are:\r\n(1) We show that the qualitative
question is NP-complete and the quantitative approximation question is #P-hard
in the special case when the interaction and the replacement graphs coincide and
even with the restriction that the resident individuals do not reproduce (which
corresponds to an invading population taking over an empty structure).\r\n(2)
We show that in general the qualitative question is PSPACE-complete and the quantitative
approximation question is PSPACE-hard and can be solved in exponential time.\r\n"

text: "We consider Markov decision processes (MDPs) with multiple limit-average
(or mean-payoff) objectives. \r\nThere have been two different views: (i) the
expectation semantics, where the goal is to optimize the expected mean-payoff
objective, and (ii) the satisfaction semantics, where the goal is to maximize
the probability of runs such that the mean-payoff value stays above a given vector.
\ \r\nWe consider the problem where the goal is to optimize the expectation under
the constraint that the satisfaction semantics is ensured, and thus consider a
generalization that unifies the existing semantics. Our problem captures the notion
of optimization with respect to strategies that are risk-averse (i.e., ensures
certain probabilistic guarantee).\r\nOur main results are algorithms for the decision
problem which are always polynomial in the size of the MDP.\r\nWe also show that
an approximation of the Pareto-curve can be computed in time polynomial in the
size of the MDP, and the approximation factor, but exponential in the number of
dimensions. Finally, we present a complete characterization of the strategy complexity
(in terms of memory bounds and randomization) required to solve our problem."
