Smoothing complex-valued signals on Graphs with Monte-Carlo

We introduce new smoothing estimators for complex signals on graphs, based on a recently studied Determinantal Point Process (DPP). These estimators are built from subsets of edges and nodes drawn according to this DPP, making up trees and unicycles, i.e., connected components containing exactly one cycle. We provide a Julia implementation of these estimators and study their performance when applied to a ranking problem

A Complexity Approach to Tree Algebras: the Polynomial Case

In this paper, we consider infinitely sorted tree algebras recognising regular language of finite trees. We pursue their analysis under the angle of their asymptotic complexity, i.e. the asymptotic size of the sorts as a function of the number of variables involved. Our main result establishes an equivalence between the languages recognised by algebras of polynomial complexity and the languages that can be described by nominal word automata that parse linearisation of the trees. On the way, we show that for such algebras, having polynomial complexity corresponds to having uniformly boundedly many orbits under permutation of the variables, or having a notion of bounded support (in a sense similar to the one in nominal sets). We also show that being recognisable by an algebra of polynomial complexity is a decidable property for a regular language of trees

A Complexity Approach to Tree Algebras: the Bounded Case

In this paper, we initiate a study of the expressive power of tree algebras, and more generally infinitely sorted algebras, based on their asymptotic complexity. We provide a characterization of the expressiveness of tree algebras of bounded complexity. Tree algebras in many of their forms, such as clones, hyperclones, operads, etc, as well as other kind of algebras, are infinitely sorted: the carrier is a multi sorted set indexed by a parameter that can be interpreted as the number of variables or hole types. Finite such algebras - meaning when all sorts are finite - can be classified depending on the asymptotic size of the carrier sets as a function of the parameter, that we call the complexity of the algebra. This naturally defines the notions of algebras of bounded, linear, polynomial, exponential or doubly exponential complexity... We initiate in this work a program of analysis of the complexity of infinitely sorted algebras. Our main result precisely characterizes the tree algebras of bounded complexity based on the languages that they recognize as Boolean closures of simple languages. Along the way, we prove that such algebras that are syntactic (minimal for a language) are exactly those in which, as soon as there are sufficiently many variables, the elements are invariant under permutation of the variables

Discours d’accueil

Monsieur le Président, messieurs les directeurs, mesdames, messieurs. Permettez-moi tout d’abord de vous dire l’immense plaisir que j’ai, aujourd’hui, d’ouvrir ce colloque dans ce lieu prestigieux propre à alimenter un débat que ses organisateurs nous annoncent « libre et ouvert », mais comment pourrait-il en être autrement ici, à, la Sorbonne. Le thème choisi pour ce colloque, « l’avion : le rêve, la puissance et le doute », dois-je vous l’avouer, Monsieur le président du CETCOPRA et cher am..
