When slower is faster
The slower is faster (SIF) effect occurs when a system performs worse as its components try to do better. Thus, a moderate individual efficiency actually leads to a better systemic performance. The SIF effect takes place in a variety of phenomena. We review studies and examples of the SIF effect in pedestrian dynamics, vehicle traffic, traffic light control, logistics, public transport, social dynamics, ecological systems, and adaptation. Drawing on these examples, we generalize common features of the SIF effect and suggest possible future lines of research.

Learn Faster and Forget Slower via Fast and Stable Task Adaptation
Training Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) is still highly time-consuming and compute-intensive. It has been shown that adapting a pretrained model may significantly accelerate this process. With a focus on classification, we …
Transfer LearningCan Shallow Neural Networks Beat the Curse of Dimensionality? A mean field training perspective
We prove that the gradient descent training of a two-layer neural network on empirical or population risk may not decrease population risk at an order faster than $t^{-4/(d-2)}$ under mean field scaling. Thus gradient de…
The Mirage of Multimodality: Where Truth is Tested and Honesty Unravels
Reasoning models have recently attracted significant attention, especially for tasks that involve complex inference. Their strengths exemplify the System II paradigm (slow, structured thinking), contrasting with the Syst…
Bolt: Accelerated Data Mining with Fast Vector Compression
Vectors of data are at the heart of machine learning and data mining. Recently, vector quantization methods have shown great promise in reducing both the time and space costs of operating on vectors. We introduce a vecto…
QuantizationWearable and Continuous Prediction of Passage of Time Perception for Monitoring Mental Health
A person's passage of time perception (POTP) is strongly linked to their mental state and stress response, and can therefore provide an easily quantifiable means of continuous mental health monitoring. In this work, we d…
