Compositional Growth Models

2024-04-11 · José Moran, Massimo Riccaboni

We review models of compositional growth, which were introduced to explain the growth statistics of various quantities ranging from firm sizes to GDP. In these models, entities are decomposed into units that grow independently. Thus, the growth rate of the entity is the addition of the growth rates of the composing units, with possibly heterogeneous weights. We review such models and show that they can be understood through a unifying theoretical framework, explaining the resulting growth rate distributions using mixtures of Gaussians.

GrowFields: Compositional 4D Neural Fields for Topology-Changing Plant Growth

2026-07-03 · Joaquin Gajardo, Michele Volpi, Marko Mihajlovic, Siyu Tang 외 arxiv

Quantifying plant growth dynamics from sparse longitudinal 3D observations is fundamental for agriculture and plant sciences. Yet, plants pose unique challenges: they undergo intricate non-rigid deformations, exhibit cha…

Proximal algorithms for constrained composite optimization, with applications to solving low-rank SDPs

2019-03-01 · Yu Bai, John Duchi, Song Mei

We study a family of (potentially non-convex) constrained optimization problems with convex composite structure. Through a novel analysis of non-smooth geometry, we show that proximal-type algorithms applied to exact pen…

Mixtures of SubExperts for Large Language Continual Learning

2025-11-09 · Haeyong Kang arxiv

Enabling lifelong learning in LLMs demands resolving the stability-plasticity dilemma (i.e., models must incorporate new knowledge without overwriting prior representations) while maintaining scalability under bounded pa…

From Data to Control: A Formal Compositional Framework for Large-Scale Interconnected Networks

2024-09-19 · Omid Akbarzadeh, Amy Nejati, Abolfazl Lavaei

We introduce a compositional data-driven methodology with noisy data for designing fully-decentralized safety controllers applicable to large-scale interconnected networks, encompassing a vast number of subsystems with u…

TESTNAV: Pareto-Guided Search for Compositional Robustness Testing

2026-08-20 · Arooj Arif, Tobias Hartung, Elena Botoeva, Alexandros Koliousis arxiv

Deep learning models remain vulnerable to real-world input perturbations, especially when multiple corruptions co-occur in the same input (e.g., brightness shifts and motion blur). Compositional testing reveals these int…
