In this paper, we investigate the basic properties of binary classification with a pseudo model based on the Itakura–Saito distance and reveal that the Itakura–Saito distance is a unique appropriate measure for estimation with the pseudo model in the framework of general Bregman divergence. Furthermore, we propose a novel multi-task learning algorithm based on the pseudo model in the framework ...

In this paper we describe a maximum likelihood approach for dictionary learning in the multiplicative exponential noise model. This model is prevalent in audio signal processing where it underlies a generative composite model of the power spectrogram. Maximum joint likelihood estimation of the dictionary and expansion coefficients leads to a nonnegative matrix factorization problem where the It...

The base space of a semiuniversal unfolding of a hypersurface singularity carries a rich geometry. By work of K. Saito and M. Saito it can be equipped with the structure of a Frobenius manifold. By work of Cecotti and Vafa it can be equipped with tt∗ geometry if the singularity is quasihomogeneous. tt∗ geometry generalizes the notion of variation of Hodge structures. In the second part of this ...

Prof Makoto Saito and Prof Kentaro Shimidzu were the two most important pioneers in Japanese neuroradiology. They were also pioneers of Japanese neurosurgery who established neurosurgery as a subspeciality from general surgery. Both professors graduated from Tokyo University School of Medicine, in 1915 and 1929, respectively. Both trained at the First Department of Surgery at Tokyo University H...

Recently Varagnolo and Vasserot established that the q-deformed Fock spaces due to Hayashi, and Kashiwara, Miwa and Stern, admit actions of the quantum toroidal algebra U ′ q(sln,tor) (n ≥ 3) with the level (0, 1). In the present article we propose a more detailed proof of this fact then the one given by Varagnolo and Vasserot. The proof is based on certain non-trivial properties of Cherednik’s...

Let f be a newform of weight 2k−2 and level 1. In this paper we provide evidence for the Bloch-Kato conjecture for modular forms. We demonstrate an implication that under suitable hypotheses if ̟ | Lalg(k, f) then p | #Hf (Q,Wf (1− k)) where p is a suitably chosen prime and ̟ a uniformizer of a finite extension K/Qp. We demonstrate this by establishing a congruence between the Saito-Kurokawa lift...
