• Abstract: Our basic structure is a finite-dimensional complex Hilbert space $H$. We point out that the set of effects on $H$ form a convex effect algebra. Although the set of operators on $H$ also form a convex effect algebra, they have a more detailed structure. W introduce sequential products of effect and operations. Although these have already been studied, we introduce the new concept of sequential products of effects with operations and operations with effects. We then consider various special types of operations. After developing properties of these concepts, the results are generalized to include observables and instruments. In particular, sequential products of observables with instruments and instruments with observables are developed. Finally, we consider conditioning and coexistence of observables and instruments.

• Interval Effect Algebras and Holevo Instruments [0.0]
  This article begins with a study of convex effect-state spaces. We point out that such spaces are equivalent to interval effect algebras that generate an ordered linear space and possess an order-determining set of states. We then discuss operations and instruments on interval effect algebras under the assumption of an unrestrictive condition.

• Object-centric architectures enable efficient causal representation learning [51.6196391784561]
  We show that when the observations are of multiple objects, the generative function is no longer injective and disentanglement fails in practice. We develop an object-centric architecture that leverages weak supervision from sparse perturbations to disentangle each object's properties. This approach is more data-efficient in the sense that it requires significantly fewer perturbations than a comparable approach that encodes to a Euclidean space.

  We show that although a dual instruments measures a unique observable, it determines many sub-observables. Sub-observable effect algebras are characterized and studied. The sequential product of instruments is discussed.

• Theory on Forgetting and Generalization of Continual Learning [41.85538120246877]
  Continual learning (CL) aims to learn a sequence of tasks. There is a lack of understanding on what factors are important and how they affect "catastrophic forgetting" and generalization performance. We show that our results not only explain some interesting empirical observations in recent studies, but also motivate better practical algorithm designs of CL.

  We show that Lorentz cones are the only cones with a symmetric base for which a certain stronger version of the resilience property is satisfied. Our proof exploits the symmetries of the Lorentz cones and applies two constructions resembling protocols for entanglement distillation.

The correspondence is measured using an embedding function that maps physically similar examples to nearby points.
