--- _id: '5959' abstract: - lang: eng text: Formalizing properties of systems with continuous dynamics is a challenging task. In this paper, we propose a formal framework for specifying and monitoring rich temporal properties of real-valued signals. We introduce signal first-order logic (SFO) as a specification language that combines first-order logic with linear-real arithmetic and unary function symbols interpreted as piecewise-linear signals. We first show that while the satisfiability problem for SFO is undecidable, its membership and monitoring problems are decidable. We develop an offline monitoring procedure for SFO that has polynomial complexity in the size of the input trace and the specification, for a fixed number of quantifiers and function symbols. We show that the algorithm has computation time linear in the size of the input trace for the important fragment of bounded-response specifications interpreted over input traces with finite variability. We can use our results to extend signal temporal logic with first-order quantifiers over time and value parameters, while preserving its efficient monitoring. We finally demonstrate the practical appeal of our logic through a case study in the micro-electronics domain. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Alexey full_name: Bakhirkin, Alexey last_name: Bakhirkin - first_name: Thomas full_name: Ferrere, Thomas id: 40960E6E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Ferrere orcid: 0000-0001-5199-3143 - first_name: Thomas A full_name: Henzinger, Thomas A id: 40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Henzinger orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - first_name: Deian full_name: Nickovicl, Deian last_name: Nickovicl citation: ama: 'Bakhirkin A, Ferrere T, Henzinger TA, Nickovicl D.

Given the recent practical focus on distributed machine learning, significant work has been dedicated to the convergence properties of this algorithm under the inconsistent and noisy updates arising from execution in a distributed environment. However, surprisingly, the convergence properties of this classic algorithm in the standard shared-memory model are still not well-understood. In this work, we address this gap, and provide new convergence bounds for lock-free concurrent stochastic gradient descent, executing in the classic asynchronous shared memory model, against a strong adaptive adversary. Our results give improved upper and lower bounds on the "price of asynchrony'' when executing the fundamental SGD algorithm in a concurrent setting. They show that this classic optimization tool can converge faster and with a wider range of parameters than previously known under asynchronous iterations. At the same time, we exhibit a fundamental trade-off between the maximum delay in the system and the rate at which SGD can converge, which governs the set of parameters under which this algorithm can still work efficiently. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Dan-Adrian full_name: Alistarh, Dan-Adrian id: 4A899BFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Alistarh orcid: 0000-0003-3650-940X - first_name: Christopher full_name: De Sa, Christopher last_name: De Sa - first_name: Nikola H full_name: Konstantinov, Nikola H id: 4B9D76E4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Konstantinov citation: ama: 'Alistarh D-A, De Sa C, Konstantinov NH.

Open-ended evolution (OEE) refers to the unbounded increase in complexity that seems to characterize evolution on multiple scales. This property seems to be a characteristic feature of biological and technological evolution and is strongly tied to the generative potential associated with combinatorics, which allows the system to grow and expand their available state spaces. Interestingly, many complex systems presumably displaying OEE, from language to proteins, share a common statistical property: the presence of Zipf''s Law. Given an inventory of basic items (such as words or protein domains) required to build more complex structures (sentences or proteins) Zipf''s Law tells us that most of these elements are rare whereas a few of them are extremely common. Using algorithmic information theory, in this paper we provide a fundamental definition for open-endedness, which can be understood as postulates. Its statistical counterpart, based on standard Shannon information theory, has the structure of a variational problem which is shown to lead to Zipf''s Law as the expected consequence of an evolutionary process displaying OEE. We further explore the problem of information conservation through an OEE process and we conclude that statistical information (standard Shannon information) is not conserved, resulting in the paradoxical situation in which the increase of information content has the effect of erasing itself. We prove that this paradox is solved if we consider non-statistical forms of information. This last result implies that standard information theory may not be a suitable theoretical framework to explore the persistence and increase of the information content in OEE systems.' article_number: '20180395' article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Bernat full_name: Corominas-Murtra, Bernat id: 43BE2298-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Corominas-Murtra orcid: 0000-0001-9806-5643 - first_name: Luís F. full_name: Seoane, Luís F. last_name: Seoane - first_name: Ricard full_name: Solé, Ricard last_name: Solé citation: ama: Corominas-Murtra B, Seoane LF, Solé R.

The loop closure detection is one of the key points in simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) methods, especially in homogeneous environments with difficult scenes recognitions. The proposed approach is generic and could be coupled with conventional SLAM algorithms to reliably reduce their computing burden, thus improving the localization and mapping processes in the most challenging environments such as unexplored underwater extents. To prove that a robot performed a loop whatever the uncertainties in its evolution, we employ the notion of topological degree that originates in the field of differential topology. We show that a verification tool based on the topological degree is an optimal method for proving robot loops. This is demonstrated both on datasets from real missions involving autonomous underwater vehicles and by a mathematical discussion. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Simon full_name: Rohou, Simon last_name: Rohou - first_name: Peter full_name: Franek, Peter id: 473294AE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Franek orcid: 0000-0001-8878-8397 - first_name: Clément full_name: Aubry, Clément last_name: Aubry - first_name: Luc full_name: Jaulin, Luc last_name: Jaulin citation: ama: Rohou S, Franek P, Aubry C, Jaulin L.

A related, applied research strand has studied methods by which certain iterative task-based algorithms can be efficiently parallelized via relaxed concurrent priority schedulers. These allow for high concurrency when inserting and removing tasks, at the cost of executing superfluous work due to the relaxed semantics of the scheduler. In this work, we take a step towards unifying these two research directions, by showing that there exists a family of relaxed priority schedulers that can efficiently and deterministically execute classic iterative algorithms such as greedy maximal independent set (MIS) and matching. Our primary result shows that, given a randomized scheduler with an expected relaxation factor of k in terms of the maximum allowed priority inversions on a task, and any graph on n vertices, the scheduler is able to execute greedy MIS with only an additive factor of \poly(k) expected additional iterations compared to an exact (but not scalable) scheduler. This counter-intuitive result demonstrates that the overhead of relaxation when computing MIS is not dependent on the input size or structure of the input graph. Experimental results show that this overhead can be clearly offset by the gain in performance due to the highly scalable scheduler. In sum, we present an efficient method to deterministically parallelize iterative sequential algorithms, with provable runtime guarantees in terms of the number of executed tasks to completion.' article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Dan-Adrian full_name: Alistarh, Dan-Adrian id: 4A899BFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Alistarh orcid: 0000-0003-3650-940X - first_name: Trevor A full_name: Brown, Trevor A id: 3569F0A0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Brown - first_name: Justin full_name: Kopinsky, Justin last_name: Kopinsky - first_name: Giorgi full_name: Nadiradze, Giorgi last_name: Nadiradze citation: ama: 'Alistarh D-A, Brown TA, Kopinsky J, Nadiradze G.

Despite considerable interest, there exist families of natural, high performing randomized relaxed concurrent data structures, such as the popular MultiQueue~\citeMQ pattern for implementing relaxed priority queue data structures, for which no guarantees are known in the concurrent setting~\citeAKLN17. Our main contribution is in showing for the first time that, under a set of analytic assumptions, a family of relaxed concurrent data structures, including variants of MultiQueues, but also a new approximate counting algorithm we call the MultiCounter, provides strong probabilistic guarantees on the degree of relaxation with respect to the sequential specification, in arbitrary concurrent executions. We formalize these guarantees via a new correctness condition called distributional linearizability, tailored to concurrent implementations with randomized relaxations. Our result is based on a new analysis of an asynchronous variant of the classic power-of-two-choices load balancing algorithm, in which placement choices can be based on inconsistent, outdated information (this result may be of independent interest). We validate our results empirically, showing that the MultiCounter algorithm can implement scalable relaxed timestamps. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Dan-Adrian full_name: Alistarh, Dan-Adrian id: 4A899BFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Alistarh orcid: 0000-0003-3650-940X - first_name: Trevor A full_name: Brown, Trevor A id: 3569F0A0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Brown - first_name: Justin full_name: Kopinsky, Justin last_name: Kopinsky - first_name: Jerry Z. full_name: Li, Jerry Z. last_name: Li - first_name: Giorgi full_name: Nadiradze, Giorgi last_name: Nadiradze citation: ama: 'Alistarh D-A, Brown TA, Kopinsky J, Li JZ, Nadiradze G.

While the standard solution to such conflicts is to immediately abort one of the transactions, some practical systems consider the alternative of delaying conflict resolution for a short interval, which may allow one of the transactions to commit. The challenge in the transactional conflict problem is to choose the optimal length of this delay interval so as to minimize the overall running time penalty for the conflicting transactions. In this paper, we propose a family of optimal online algorithms for the transactional conflict problem. Specifically, we consider variants of this problem which arise in different implementations of transactional systems, namely "requestor wins'''' and "requestor aborts'''' implementations: in the former, the recipient of a coherence request is aborted, whereas in the latter, it is the requestor which has to abort. Both strategies are implemented by real systems. We show that the requestor aborts case can be reduced to a classic instance of the ski rental problem, while the requestor wins case leads to a new version of this classical problem, for which we derive optimal deterministic and randomized algorithms. Moreover, we prove that, under a simplified adversarial model, our algorithms are constant-competitive with the offline optimum in terms of throughput. We validate our algorithmic results empirically through a hardware simulation of hardware transactional memory (HTM), showing that our algorithms can lead to non-trivial performance improvements for classic concurrent data structures.' article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Dan-Adrian full_name: Alistarh, Dan-Adrian id: 4A899BFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Alistarh orcid: 0000-0003-3650-940X - first_name: Syed Kamran full_name: Haider, Syed Kamran last_name: Haider - first_name: Raphael full_name: Kübler, Raphael last_name: Kübler - first_name: Giorgi full_name: Nadiradze, Giorgi last_name: Nadiradze citation: ama: 'Alistarh D-A, Haider SK, Kübler R, Nadiradze G.

At each step the method picks aflaw present in the current state and goes to a new state according to some prespecified probabilitydistribution (which depends on the current state and the selected flaw). However, the recent formu-lation is less flexible than the Moser–Tardos method since it requires a specific flaw selection rule,whereas the algorithm of Moser and Tardos allows an arbitrary rule (and thus can potentially beimplemented more efficiently). We formulate a new “commutativity” condition and prove that it issufficient for an arbitrary rule to work. It also enables an efficient parallelization under an additionalassumption.

As a preliminary evidence to the affirmative, we describe a simple model that can be used to predict the throughput of coarse-grained lock-based algorithms.

Many GPCRs are classified as orphan receptors because of the limited knowledge on their ligands and coupling to cellular signaling machineries. Here, we engineer a library of 63 chimeric receptors that contain the signaling domains of human orphan and understudied GPCRs functionally linked to the light-sensing domain of rhodopsin. Upon stimulation with visible light, we identify activation of canonical cell signaling pathways, including cAMP-, Ca2+-, MAPK/ERK-, and Rho-dependent pathways, downstream of the engineered receptors. For the human pseudogene GPR33, we resurrect a signaling function that supports its hypothesized role as a pathogen entry site. These results demonstrate that substituting unknown chemical activators with a light switch can reveal information about protein function and provide an optically controlled protein library for exploring the physiology and therapeutic potential of understudied GPCRs. article_number: '1950' article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Maurizio full_name: Morri, Maurizio id: 4863116E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Morri - first_name: Inmaculada full_name: Sanchez-Romero, Inmaculada id: 3D9C5D30-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sanchez-Romero - first_name: Alexandra-Madelaine full_name: Tichy, Alexandra-Madelaine id: 29D8BB2C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Tichy - first_name: Stephanie full_name: Kainrath, Stephanie id: 32CFBA64-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kainrath - first_name: Elliot J. full_name: Gerrard, Elliot J. last_name: Gerrard - first_name: Priscila full_name: Hirschfeld, Priscila id: 435ACB3A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Hirschfeld - first_name: Jan full_name: Schwarz, Jan id: 346C1EC6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Schwarz - first_name: Harald L full_name: Janovjak, Harald L id: 33BA6C30-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Janovjak orcid: 0000-0002-8023-9315 citation: ama: Morri M, Sanchez-Romero I, Tichy A-M, et al.

We start by mapping the 3D surface onto a 2D domain as in traditional UV mapping to design a set of deformable flat panels called FlexMaps. For these panels, we design and obtain specific mechanical properties such that, once they are assembled, the static equilibrium configuration matches the desired 3D shape. FlexMaps can be fabricated from an almost rigid material, such as wood or plastic, and are made flexible in a controlled way by using computationally designed spiraling microstructures. article_number: '241' article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Luigi full_name: Malomo, Luigi last_name: Malomo - first_name: Jesus full_name: Perez Rodriguez, Jesus id: 2DC83906-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Perez Rodriguez - first_name: Emmanuel full_name: Iarussi, Emmanuel id: 33F19F16-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Iarussi - first_name: Nico full_name: Pietroni, Nico last_name: Pietroni - first_name: Eder full_name: Miguel, Eder last_name: Miguel - first_name: Paolo full_name: Cignoni, Paolo last_name: Cignoni - first_name: Bernd full_name: Bickel, Bernd id: 49876194-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Bickel orcid: 0000-0001-6511-9385 citation: ama: 'Malomo L, Perez Rodriguez J, Iarussi E, et al.

Such a system corresponds to a “rotating polaron,” which can be used to model, e.g., a rotating molecule immersed in an ultracold Bose gas or superfluid helium. We derive the Hamiltonian of the rotating polaron and study its spectrum in the weak- and strong-coupling regimes using a combination of variational, diagrammatic, and mean-field approaches. We reveal how the coupling between linear and angular momenta affects stable quasiparticle states, and demonstrate that internal rotation leads to an enhanced self-localization in the translational degrees of freedom. article_number: '224506' article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Enderalp full_name: Yakaboylu, Enderalp id: 38CB71F6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Yakaboylu orcid: 0000-0001-5973-0874 - first_name: Bikashkali full_name: Midya, Bikashkali id: 456187FC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Midya - first_name: Andreas full_name: Deuchert, Andreas id: 4DA65CD0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Deuchert orcid: 0000-0003-3146-6746 - first_name: Nikolai K full_name: Leopold, Nikolai K id: 4BC40BEC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Leopold orcid: 0000-0002-0495-6822 - first_name: Mikhail full_name: Lemeshko, Mikhail id: 37CB05FA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Lemeshko orcid: 0000-0002-6990-7802 citation: ama: 'Yakaboylu E, Midya B, Deuchert A, Leopold NK, Lemeshko M.

We also demonstrate that the same strategy can be used to produce orthorhombic SnSe nanostructures and nanomaterials. NPLs are grown through a screw dislocation-driven mechanism. This mechanism typically results in pyramidal structures, but we demonstrate here that the growth from multiple dislocations results in flower-like structures. Crystallographically textured SnSe2 bulk nanomaterials obtained from the hot pressing of these SnSe2 structures display highly anisotropic charge and heat transport properties and thermoelectric (TE) figures of merit limited by relatively low electrical conductivities. To improve this parameter, SnSe2 NPLs are blended here with metal nanoparticles. The electrical conductivities of the blends are significantly improved with respect to bare SnSe2 NPLs, what translates into a three-fold increase of the TE Figure of merit, reaching unprecedented ZT values up to 0.65. article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Yu full_name: Zhang, Yu last_name: Zhang - first_name: Yu full_name: Liu, Yu last_name: Liu - first_name: Khak Ho full_name: Lim, Khak Ho last_name: Lim - first_name: Congcong full_name: Xing, Congcong last_name: Xing - first_name: Mengyao full_name: Li, Mengyao last_name: Li - first_name: Ting full_name: Zhang, Ting last_name: Zhang - first_name: Pengyi full_name: Tang, Pengyi last_name: Tang - first_name: Jordi full_name: Arbiol, Jordi last_name: Arbiol - first_name: Jordi full_name: Llorca, Jordi last_name: Llorca - first_name: Ka Ming full_name: Ng, Ka Ming last_name: Ng - first_name: Maria full_name: Ibáñez, Maria id: 43C61214-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Ibáñez orcid: 0000-0001-5013-2843 - first_name: Pablo full_name: Guardia, Pablo last_name: Guardia - first_name: Mirko full_name: Prato, Mirko last_name: Prato - first_name: Doris full_name: Cadavid, Doris last_name: Cadavid - first_name: Andreu full_name: Cabot, Andreu last_name: Cabot citation: ama: Zhang Y, Liu Y, Lim KH, et al.

We proposea family of relaxations (different from the famous Sherali-Adams hierarchy), which naturally define lower bounds for itsoptimum. This family always contains a tight relaxation andwe give an algorithm able to find it and therefore, solve theinitial non-relaxed NP-hard problem.The relaxations we consider decompose the original probleminto two non-overlapping parts: an easy LP-tight part and adifficult one. For the latter part a combinatorial solver must beused. As we show in our experiments, in a number of applica-tions the second, difficult part constitutes only a small fractionof the whole problem. This property allows to significantlyreduce the computational time of the combinatorial solver andtherefore solve problems which were out of reach before.' article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Stefan full_name: Haller, Stefan last_name: Haller - first_name: Paul full_name: Swoboda, Paul id: 446560C6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Swoboda - first_name: Bogdan full_name: Savchynskyy, Bogdan last_name: Savchynskyy citation: ama: 'Haller S, Swoboda P, Savchynskyy B.

Consequently, in order to argue security, or compose these protocols one has to rely on the general theory that was developed for the purpose of MPC. The pursuit of efficient protocols, however, has resulted in designs that exploit properties pertaining to PSI. In almost all practical applications where a PSI protocol is deployed, it is expected to be executed multiple times, possibly on related inputs. In this work we initiate a dedicated study of PSI in the multi-interaction (MI) setting. In this model a server sets up the common system parameters and executes set-intersection multiple times with potentially different clients. We discuss a few attacks that arise when protocols are naïvely composed in this manner and, accordingly, craft security definitions for the MI setting and study their inter-relation. Finally, we suggest a set of protocols that are MI-secure, at the same time almost as efficient as their parent, stand-alone, protocols. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Sanjit full_name: Chatterjee, Sanjit last_name: Chatterjee - first_name: Chethan full_name: Kamath Hosdurg, Chethan id: 4BD3F30E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kamath Hosdurg - first_name: Vikas full_name: Kumar, Vikas last_name: Kumar citation: ama: Chatterjee S, Kamath Hosdurg C, Kumar V.

While physiological roles for polyploidization and senescence have been described in mouse development, controversy exists over their significance in humans. Here, we describe tetraploidization and senescence as phenomena of normal human placenta development. During pregnancy, placental extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs) invade the pregnant endometrium, termed decidua, to establish an adapted microenvironment required for the developing embryo. This process is critically dependent on continuous cell proliferation and differentiation, which is thought to follow the classical model of cell cycle arrest prior to terminal differentiation. Strikingly, flow cytometry and DNAseq revealed that EVT formation is accompanied with a genome-wide polyploidization, independent of mitotic cycles. DNA replication in these cells was analysed by a fluorescent cell-cycle indicator reporter system, cell cycle marker expression and EdU incorporation. Upon invasion into the decidua, EVTs widely lose their replicative potential and enter a senescent state characterized by high senescence-associated (SA) β-galactosidase activity, induction of a SA secretory phenotype as well as typical metabolic alterations. Furthermore, we show that the shift from endocycle-dependent genome amplification to growth arrest is disturbed in androgenic complete hydatidiform moles (CHM), a hyperplastic pregnancy disorder associated with increased risk of developing choriocarinoma. Senescence is decreased in CHM-EVTs, accompanied by exacerbated endoreduplication and hyperploidy. We propose induction of cellular senescence as a ploidy-limiting mechanism during normal human placentation and unravel a link between excessive polyploidization and reduced senescence in CHM. article_number: e1007698 article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Philipp full_name: Velicky, Philipp id: 39BDC62C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Velicky orcid: 0000-0002-2340-7431 - first_name: Gudrun full_name: Meinhardt, Gudrun last_name: Meinhardt - first_name: Kerstin full_name: Plessl, Kerstin last_name: Plessl - first_name: Sigrid full_name: Vondra, Sigrid last_name: Vondra - first_name: Tamara full_name: Weiss, Tamara last_name: Weiss - first_name: Peter full_name: Haslinger, Peter last_name: Haslinger - first_name: Thomas full_name: Lendl, Thomas last_name: Lendl - first_name: Karin full_name: Aumayr, Karin last_name: Aumayr - first_name: Mario full_name: Mairhofer, Mario last_name: Mairhofer - first_name: Xiaowei full_name: Zhu, Xiaowei last_name: Zhu - first_name: Birgit full_name: Schütz, Birgit last_name: Schütz - first_name: Roberta L. full_name: Hannibal, Roberta L. last_name: Hannibal - first_name: Robert full_name: Lindau, Robert last_name: Lindau - first_name: Beatrix full_name: Weil, Beatrix last_name: Weil - first_name: Jan full_name: Ernerudh, Jan last_name: Ernerudh - first_name: Jürgen full_name: Neesen, Jürgen last_name: Neesen - first_name: Gerda full_name: Egger, Gerda last_name: Egger - first_name: Mario full_name: Mikula, Mario last_name: Mikula - first_name: Clemens full_name: Röhrl, Clemens last_name: Röhrl - first_name: Alexander E. full_name: Urban, Alexander E. last_name: Urban - first_name: Julie full_name: Baker, Julie last_name: Baker - first_name: Martin full_name: Knöfler, Martin last_name: Knöfler - first_name: Jürgen full_name: Pollheimer, Jürgen last_name: Pollheimer citation: ama: Velicky P, Meinhardt G, Plessl K, et al.
