Parabolic negative magnetoresistance in p-Ge/Ge1-xSix heterostructures

Abstract

Quantum corrections to the conductivity due to the weak localization (WL) and the disorder-modified electron-electron interaction (EEI) are investigated for the high-mobility multilayer p-Ge/Ge1-xSix heterostructures at T = (0.1 - 20.0)K in magnetic field B up to 1.5T. Negative magnetoresistance with logarithmic dependence on T and linear in B^2 is observed for B >= 0.1T. Such a behavior is attributed to the interplay of the classical cyclotron motion and the EEI effect. The Hartree part of the interaction constant is estimated (F_/sigma = 0.44) and the WL and EEI contributions to the total quantum correction /Delta /sigma at B = 0 are separated (/Delta /sigma_{WL} ~ 0.3/Delta /sigma; /Delta /sigma_{EEI} ~ 0.7/Delta /sigma).

Deep-layered machines have a built-in Occam's razor

Many complex systems map vast numbers of microscopic descriptions onto far fewer macroscopic outcomes. Surprisingly, these input-output maps strongly favor simple outputs. In an exactly solvable deep-layered machine, we prove that simplicity bias strengthens with every layer. The probability of an output function $F$ approaches $\Pr(F)\propto 2^{-K(F)}$, where $K$ is the Kolmogorov complexity. Our results show that hierarchical composition alone can generate an intrinsic Occam's razor, suggesting a general mechanism for simplicity bias in learning and evolution.

Cup and Cap Topological Neural Network

Topological Deep Learning (TDL) is designed to learn features associated not only with nodes but also with edges, triangles and higher dimensional simplices. However, most TDL approaches, being based on boundary operators and Hodge Laplacians, have the limitation that features and signals cannot be lifted or lowered across more than one dimension per layer. To overcome this limitation, in this work, we propose the adoption of the cup and cap products. Specifically, we formulate the Cup and Cap Topological Neural Network (CCNN), a topological deep learning architecture designed to learn node-based variables (or 0-cochains) by taking into account their many-body interactions (e.g. triangles) present in the data. We validate CCNN by assessing its performance on the TopoBench datasets, demonstrating its competitive performance with respect to other simplicial complex neural networks.

Thermodynamics of Forgetting in a Bounded Hopfield Network

A memory that keeps learning must also forget. The Hopfield network does not: beyond a critical number of stored patterns it falls into a state of total confusion and retrieves none of them. Parisi showed in 1986 that bounding the synaptic strength cures this pathology, since the clipping of the couplings gradually erases the oldest memories and leaves room for the new ones. In this paper we provide a thermodynamic description of the resulting network, known as the Hopfield-Parisi model. Starting from the learning rule, we show that the network is equivalent to a Hopfield model whose patterns are weighted according to their age, superimposed on a Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin glass, both governed by the synaptic bound: a larger bound makes the memory longer, but also noisier. The theory of nonlinear networks developed in the eighties already provides, through the heuristic replica method, the equations that govern this model at any temperature, but to the best of our knowledge they have been solved only at zero temperature. We rederive them at the replica symmetric level through Guerra's interpolation and solve them at finite temperature, obtaining the phase diagram of the model together with its memory horizon, namely the largest age at which a pattern can still be retrieved. The solution shows that forgetting acts on the signal alone, the noise being the same for patterns of every age, and that the horizon is maximal at an intermediate bound which is essentially insensitive to temperature. Monte Carlo simulations of networks trained with the original learning rule support these predictions.
