Network graphs have become a popular tool to represent complex systems composed of many interacting subunits; especially in neuroscience, network graphs are increasingly used to represent and analyze functional interactions between neural sources. Interactions are often reconstructed using pairwise bivariate analyses, overlooking their multivariate nature: it is neglected that investigating the effect of one source on a target necessitates to take all other sources as potential nuisance variables into account; also combinations of sources may act jointly on a given target. Bivariate analyses produce networks that may contain spurious interactions, which reduce the interpretability of the network and its graph metrics. A truly multivariate reconstruction, however, is computationally intractable due to combinatorial explosion in the number of potential interactions. Thus, we have to resort to approximative methods to handle the intractability of multivariate interaction reconstruction, and thereby enable the use of networks in neuroscience. Here, we suggest such an approximative approach in the form of an algorithm that extends fast bivariate interaction reconstruction by identifying potentially spurious interactions post-hoc: the algorithm flags potentially spurious edges, which may then be pruned from the network. This produces a statistically conservative network approximation that is guaranteed to contain non-spurious interactions only. We describe the algorithm and present a reference implementation to test its performance. We discuss the algorithm in relation to other approximative multivariate methods and highlight suitable application scenarios. Our approach is a tractable and data-efficient way of reconstructing approximative networks of multivariate interactions. It is preferable if available data are limited or if fully multivariate approaches are computationally infeasible.

Biological and artificial neural systems are composed of many local processors, and their capabilities depend upon the transfer function that relates each local processors outputs to its inputs. This paper uses a recent advance in the foundations of
information theory to study the properties of local processors that use contextual input to amplify or attenuate transmission of information about their driving inputs. This advance enables the information transmitted by processors with two distinct inputs to be decomposed into those components unique to each input, that shared between the two inputs, and that which depends on both though it is in neither, i.e. synergy. The decompositions that we report here show that contextual modulation has information processing properties that contrast with those of all four simple arithmetic operators, that it can take various forms, and that the form used in our previous studies of artificial neural nets composed of local processors with both driving and contextual inputs is particularly well-suited to provide the distinctive capabilities of contextual modulation under a wide range of conditions. We argue that the decompositions reported here could be compared with those obtained from empirical neurobiological and psychophysical data under conditions thought to reflect contextual modulation. That would then shed new light on the underlying processes involved. Finally, we suggest that such decompositions could aid the design of context-sensitive machine learning algorithms.
We study entanglement-assisted quantum error-correcting codes (EAQECCs) arising from classical one-point algebraic geometry codes from the Hermitian curve with respect to the Hermitian inner product. Their only unknown parameter is $c$, the number of
required maximally entangled quantum states since the Hermitian dual of an AG code is unknown. In this article, we present an efficient algorithmic approach for computing $c$ for this family of EAQECCs. As a result, this algorithm allows us to provide EAQECCs with excellent parameters over any field size.
Algebraic topology studies topological spaces with the help of tools from abstract algebra. The main focus of this paper is to show that many concepts from algebraic topology can be conveniently expressed in terms of (normal) factor graphs. As an app
lication, we give an alternative proof of a classical duality result of Kramers and Wannier, which expresses the partition function of the two-dimensional Ising model at a low temperature in terms of the partition function of the two-dimensional Ising model at a high temperature. Moreover, we discuss analogous results for the three-dimensional Ising model and the Potts model.
Differential Dynamic Programming (DDP) is an indirect method for trajectory optimization. Its efficiency derives from the exploitation of temporal structure (inherent to optimal control problems) and explicit roll-out/integration of the system dynami
cs. However, it suffers from numerical instability and, when compared to direct methods, it has limited initialization options (allows initialization of controls, but not of states) and lacks proper handling of control constraints. These limitations are due to the fact that DDP is a single shooting algorithm. In this work, we tackle these issues with a direct-indirect hybridization approach that is primarily driven by the dynamic feasibility of the optimal control problem. Our feasibility search emulates the numerical resolution of a direct transcription problem with only dynamics constraints, namely a multiple shooting formulation. We show that our approach has better numerical convergence than BOX-DDP (a shooting method), and that its convergence rate and runtime performance are competitive with state-of-the-art direct transcription formulations solved using the interior point and active set algorithms available in KNITRO. We further show that our approach decreases the dynamic feasibility error monotonically -- as in state-of-the-art nonlinear programming algorithms. We demonstrate the benefits of our hybrid approach by generating complex and athletic motions for quadruped and humanoid robots.
In this paper, cooperative caching is investigated in fog radio access networks (F-RAN). To maximize the offloaded traffic, cooperative caching optimization problem is formulated. By analyzing the relationship between clustering and cooperation and u
tilizing the solutions of the knapsack problems, the above challenging optimization problem is transformed into a clustering subproblem and a content placement subproblem. To further reduce complexity, we propose an effective graph-based approach to solve the two subproblems. In the graph-based clustering approach, a node graph and a weighted graph are constructed. By setting the weights of the vertices of the weighted graph to be the incremental offloaded traffics of their corresponding complete subgraphs, the objective cluster sets can be readily obtained by using an effective greedy algorithm to search for the max-weight independent subset. In the graph-based content placement approach, a redundancy graph is constructed by removing the edges in the complete subgraphs of the node graph corresponding to the obtained cluster sets. Furthermore, we enhance the caching decisions to ensure each duplicate file is cached only once. Compared with traditional approximate solutions, our proposed graph-based approach has lower complexity. Simulation results show remarkable improvements in terms of offloaded traffic by using our proposed approach.
