We present a general framework for designing efficient algorithms for unsupervised learning problems, such as mixtures of Gaussians and subspace clustering. Our framework is based on a meta algorithm ...

Maths of Bikes No Tour de France is truly complete without the question of drugs being raised, or without the spectacle of tens of bikes tumbling over in a massive pile up. But bikes are in fact ...

From classrooms to kitchen tables, debates about math education are never far away. Should teachers drill multiplication facts or encourage creative strategies to solve problems? The answer, ...

Quentin Cooper explores the phenomenon of a bicycle's stability and meets the experts who claim to understand it. No Tour de France is truly complete without the question of drugs being raised, or ...

Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) are promising for neuromorphic computing due to their biological plausibility and energy efficiency. However, training methods like Backpropagation Through Time (BPTT) ...

Abstract: Task Arithmetic is a novel approach that enables efficient fine-tuning of pre-trained models by manipulating weight spaces through arithmetic operations, such as addition and subtraction, ...

Understanding the impact of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance is increasingly important in a society where many people acutely or chronically fail to obtain adequate sleep. Recent advances in ...
