We obtain the general inflationary solutions for the slab of five-dimensional AdS spacetime where the fifth dimension is an orbifold S/Z2 and two threebranes reside at its boundaries, of which the Randall-Sundrum model corresponds to the static limit. The investigation of the general solutions and their static limit reveals that the RS model recasts both the cosmological constant problem and th...

A companion paper introduced the rERP framework, which recasts traditional event-related potential (ERP) averaging as a special case of a more flexible regression-based approach to estimating ERP waveforms. Here, we build on this foundation, showing how rERP analysis can also handle the estimation of nonlinear effects (a generalization of both the well-known approach of dichotomizing continuous...

Blum andAbbott (1995) recently proposed an algorithm for learned navigation that is based on Hebbian changes to adaptive connections between place cells in the hippocampus. This paper suggests using a temporal difference rule (Sutton, 1988) for synaptic plasticity instead, and shows how this alters the resulting behaviour. It also recasts the problem of navigation into the reinforcement learnin...

We study a discretization technique for the parabolic fractional obstacle problem in bounded domains. The fractional Laplacian is realized as the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for a nonuniformly elliptic equation posed on a semi-infinite cylinder, which recasts our problem as a quasi-stationary elliptic variational inequality with a dynamic boundary condition. The rapid decay of the solution suggest...

We show that the equivalence between the c = 1 non-critical bosonic string and the N = 2 topologically twisted coset SL(2)/U(1) at level one can be checked very naturally on the level of tree-level scattering amplitudes with the use of the Stoyanovsky-RibaultTeschner map, which recasts H 3 correlation functions in terms of Liouville field theory amplitudes. This observation can be applied equal...

While there has been a growing body of work on word embeddings, and recent directions better reflect sense-level representations, evaluation remains a challenge. We propose a method of query inventory generation for embedding evaluation that recasts the principle of subsumption preservation, a desirable property of semantic graph-based similarity measures, as a comparative similarity measure as...

Linear and substructural types are powerful tools, but adding them to standard functional programming languages often means introducing extra annotations and typing machinery. We propose a lightweight substructural type system design that recasts the structural rules of weakening and contraction as type classes; we demonstrate this design in a prototype language, Clamp. Clamp supports polymorph...

This paper addresses the issue of matching rigid 3D object points with 2D image points through point registration based on maximum likelihood principle in computer simulated images. Perspective projection is necessary when transforming 3D coordinate into 2D. The problem then recasts into a missing data framework where unknown correspondences are handled via mixture models. Adopting the Expectat...
