Search results for “limits”

Why the definition of a filtered category insists on non-emptiness: the empty colimit fails to commute with the empty limit, and that is the only failure.

Integration with respect to surface area: the area element for an explicit and a parametric surface, pieces of planes, the sphere in spherical coordinates.

The flux of a vector field through an oriented surface: the normal and the choice of side, the explicit and parametric forms, the lateral surface of a cylinder.

Integrating a vector field along a directed curve: parametrising a segment and a graph, the work of a force, path dependence, a potential field and its potential, a curl-free field in a domain that is not simply connected.

Circulation of a field as the flux of its curl: computing the curl, matching the orientation of the contour and the normal, circulation computed two ways.

A contour integral as a double integral: the hypotheses of Green's theorem, orientation of the contour, area as a contour integral, closing an open arc, an annulus, a singular point inside the contour.

Topic modelling is an area of text mining that has been actively developed in the last 15 years. A probabilistic topic model extracts a set of hidden topics from a collection of text documents. It defines each topic by a probability distribution over words and describes each document with a probability distribution over topics. In applications, there are often many requirements, such as, for example, problem-specific knowledge and additional data, to be taken into account. Therefore, it is natural for topic modelling to be considered a multiobjective optimization problem. However, historically, Bayesian learning became the most popular approach for topic modelling. In the Bayesian paradigm, all requirements are formalized in terms of a probabilistic generative process. This approach is not always convenient due to some limitations and technical difficulties. In this work, we develop a non-Bayesian multiobjective approach called the Additive Regularization of Topic Models (ARTM). It is based on regularized Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE), and we show that many of the well-known Bayesian topic models can be re-formulated in a much simpler way using the regularization point of view. We review some of the most important types of topic models: multimodal, multilingual, temporal, hierarchical, graph-based, and short-text. The ARTM framework enables easy combination of different types of models to create new models with the desired properties for applications. This modular “lego-style” technology for topic modelling is implemented in the open-source library BigARTM.

A wide class of natural language processing tasks is solved using markup.At the moment, the vast majority of models and datasets rely on a simple markup structure containing only fragments and labels.Moreover, simple classification metrics such as F1, Precision, Recall are used to evaluate the model's accuracy.The problem with such metrics is that they do not take into account all aspects of the markup structure and that they are applicable only under the assumption of the existence of an ideal markup.This paper proposes a more general and universal markup structure that allows solving complex problems and builds a methodology for multi-criteria evaluation of text markup models based on inconsistent expert markup.After that, the application of the constructed method is considered to assess the quality of the model obtained within the winning algorithm of the "READ//ABLE" competition, which focused on building an effective essay markup system.The results demonstrate that the new markup structure and evaluation approach provides a more comprehensive and accurate assessment of model performance, addressing the limitations of traditional metrics by accounting for complex markup scenarios and expert inconsistencies.

Modern AI systems often comprise multiple learnable components that can be naturally organized as graphs. A central challenge is the end-to-end training of such systems without restrictive architectural or training assumptions. Such tasks fit the theory and approaches of the collaborative Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) field. We introduce Reinforcement Networks, a general framework for MARL that organizes agents as vertices in a directed acyclic graph (DAG). This structure extends hierarchical RL to arbitrary DAGs, enabling flexible credit assignment and scalable coordination while avoiding strict topologies, fully centralized training, and other limitations of current approaches. We formalize training and inference methods for the Reinforcement Networks framework and connect it to the LevelEnv concept to support reproducible construction, training, and evaluation. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on several collaborative MARL setups by developing several Reinforcement Networks models that achieve improved performance over standard MARL baselines. Beyond empirical gains, Reinforcement Networks unify hierarchical, modular, and graph-structured views of MARL, opening a principled path toward designing and training complex multi-agent systems. We conclude with theoretical and practical directions - richer graph morphologies, compositional curricula, and graph-aware exploration. That positions Reinforcement Networks as a foundation for a new line of research in scalable, structured MARL.
