A Simple Apparatus for Distilling Water

Distilling nonlocality.

Two parts of an entangled quantum state can have a correlation, in their joint behavior under measurements, that is unexplainable by shared classical information. Such correlations are called nonlocal and have proven to be an interesting resource for information processing. Since nonlocal correlations are more useful if they are stronger, it is natural to ask whether weak nonlocality can be amp...

Method and Apparatus for Improved Active Sonar

The invention is a method for improved active sonar using a singular value decomposition filtering and a Volterra-Hermite Basis Expansion to model real active sonar measurements. The fitting model minimizes the sum of the squared errors between a measured channel response, z(t), and model response, y(t), which is a fitted Volterra Series solution. The model requires as input an excitation wavef...

Distilling GeneChips

EDITORIAL Editorial I was not able to attend GECCO this year, but everybody told me it was as great as usual and I am sure that all the people who attended it enjoyed it a lot! I had not spent the second week of July in Milan since 2000, when I could not attend GECCO-2000 in Las Vegas. Thus, spending the GECCO week at work while all my friends were enjoying themselves in Philly, has been kind o...

Distilling Intractable Generative Models

A generative model’s partition function is typically expressed as an intractable multi-dimensional integral, whose approximation presents a challenge to numerical and Monte Carlo integration. In this work, we propose a new estimation method for intractable partition functions, based on distilling an intractable generative model into a tractable approximation thereof, and using the latter for pr...
