MADNESS: A Multiresolution, Adaptive Numerical Environment for Scientific Simulation
MADNESS (multiresolution adaptive numerical environment for scientific
simulation) is a high-level software environment for solving integral and
differential equations in many dimensions that uses adaptive and fast harmonic
analysis methods with guaranteed precision based on multiresolution analysis
and separated representations. Underpinning the numerical capabilities is a
powerful petascale parallel programming environment that aims to increase both
programmer productivity and code scalability. This paper describes the features
and capabilities of MADNESS and briefly discusses some current applications in
chemistry and several areas of physics

A Boolean complete neural model of adaptive behavior
A multi-layered neural assembly is developed which has the capability of learning arbitrary Boolean functions. Though the model neuron is more powerful than those previously considered, assemblies of neurons are needed to detect non-linearly separable patterns. Algorithms for learning at the neuron and assembly level are described. The model permits multiple output systens to share a common memory. Learned evaluation allows sequences of actions to be organized. Computer simulations demonstrate the capabilities of the model
Basic Filters for Convolutional Neural Networks Applied to Music: Training or Design?
When convolutional neural networks are used to tackle learning problems based
on music or, more generally, time series data, raw one-dimensional data are
commonly pre-processed to obtain spectrogram or mel-spectrogram coefficients,
which are then used as input to the actual neural network. In this
contribution, we investigate, both theoretically and experimentally, the
influence of this pre-processing step on the network's performance and pose the
question, whether replacing it by applying adaptive or learned filters directly
to the raw data, can improve learning success. The theoretical results show
that approximately reproducing mel-spectrogram coefficients by applying
adaptive filters and subsequent time-averaging is in principle possible. We
also conducted extensive experimental work on the task of singing voice
detection in music. The results of these experiments show that for
classification based on Convolutional Neural Networks the features obtained
from adaptive filter banks followed by time-averaging perform better than the
canonical Fourier-transform-based mel-spectrogram coefficients. Alternative
adaptive approaches with center frequencies or time-averaging lengths learned
from training data perform equally well.Comment: Completely revised version; 21 pages, 4 figure
Computing the eigenvalues of symmetric H2-matrices by slicing the spectrum
The computation of eigenvalues of large-scale matrices arising from finite
element discretizations has gained significant interest in the last decade.
Here we present a new algorithm based on slicing the spectrum that takes
advantage of the rank structure of resolvent matrices in order to compute m
eigenvalues of the generalized symmetric eigenvalue problem in operations, where is a small constant
