Zeno’s Paradox From A Modern Viewpoint

Macroeconomics from the Viewpoint of Modern Institutional Economics

Both Keynesians and modern institutional economists are critical of the “classical economists”. In being so, they employ similar micro foundations of the business behavior (the “institutional arrangements”) of individuals. Yet in contrast to Keynesians, the representatives of modern institutional economics incorporate the institutional framework into their analysis: For them, the linkage betwee...

Coherence, Memory and Conditioning : A Modern Viewpoint

We present a novel viewpoint on the complexity of neural mechanisms, addressing some aspects of cortical processing, like memory, context modulation and coherence. Our simulation studies show how relatively small, recurrent microcircuits can interact with populations of neurons, achieving spontaneous memory / recall effects. Here, context modulation can play an important part in the conditioned...

Learning From An Optimization Viewpoint

Optimization has always played a central role in machine learning and advances in the field of optimization and mathematical programming have greatly influenced machine learning models. However the connection between optimization and learning is much deeper : one can phrase statistical and online learning problems directly as corresponding optimization problems. In this dissertation I take this...
