• Authors: Miryam S. Merk and Philipp Otto
• Abstract summary: We investigate the estimation of sparse spatial dependence structures for regular lattice data. To recover the spatial dependence structure, we propose cross-sectional resampling, assuming that the random process is exchangeable. The two-step adaptive lasso approach with cross-sectional resampling is verified using Monte Carlo simulations.

• Abstract: Spatial econometric research typically relies on the assumption that the spatial dependence structure is known in advance and is represented by a deterministic spatial weights matrix. Contrary to classical approaches, we investigate the estimation of sparse spatial dependence structures for regular lattice data. In particular, an adaptive least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (lasso) is used to select and estimate the individual connections of the spatial weights matrix. To recover the spatial dependence structure, we propose cross-sectional resampling, assuming that the random process is exchangeable. The estimation procedure is based on a two-step approach to circumvent simultaneity issues that typically arise from endogenous spatial autoregressive dependencies. The two-step adaptive lasso approach with cross-sectional resampling is verified using Monte Carlo simulations. Eventually, we apply the procedure to model nitrogen dioxide ($\mathrm{NO_2}$) concentrations and show that estimating the spatial dependence structure contrary to using prespecified weights matrices improves the prediction accuracy considerably.

• Capturing spin chain dynamics with periodically projected time-dependent basis [0.0]
  Simulating many-body quantum systems poses significant challenges due to the large size of the state space. We propose using an SU(2) coherent state for individual spins to simulate spins on a lattice and derive equations of motion based on the variational principle. We validate this method through numerical simulations of up to seven-qubit system, calculating key physical observables such as state probabilities and domain-wall densities.

  Quantizing images into discrete representations has been a fundamental problem in unified generative modeling. deterministic quantization suffers from severe codebook collapse and misalignment with inference stage while quantization suffers from low codebook utilization and reconstruction objective. This paper presents a regularized vector quantization framework that allows to mitigate perturbed above issues effectively by applying regularization from two perspectives.

• Accelerated structured matrix factorization [0.0]
  Matrix factorization exploits the idea that, in complex high-dimensional data, the actual signal typically lies in lower-dimensional structures. By exploiting Bayesian shrinkage priors, we devise a computationally convenient approach for high-dimensional matrix factorization. The dependence between row and column entities is modeled by inducing flexible sparse patterns within factors.
