Scaling Laws for Deep Learning
… and pruning are predictable and governed by scaling laws — for state of the art models and tasks, spanning image classification and language modeling, as well as for state of the art model compression via iterative pruning. Predictability, via the establishment of these scaling laws, provides …

Scale-Dependent Homogenization and Scaling Laws in Random Polycrystals
… condition. Further, the concept of a scaling function is introduced to establish unifying scaling laws. It turns out that the scaling function depends on a mesoscale (scale of observation relative to grain size) and an appropriate universal anisotropy index quantifying the single …

Scaling laws and correlation functions near magnetic critical points
… magnetic systems are studied with the aid of the scaling laws. These laws relate the critical indices which describe the behavior of thermodynamic and correlation functions near T. Kadanoff's derivation of the scaling 1aw is reviewed. An experimental survey of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic …

Complexity Scaling Laws for Neural Models using Combinatorial Optimization
Recent work on neural scaling laws demonstrates that model performance scales predictably with compute budget, model size, and dataset size. In this work, we develop scaling laws based on problem complexity. We analyze two fundamental complexity measures: solution space size and representation …

Scaling laws for stress and energy for interface with strong rate-weakening friction
… inverse proportional to slip length; lastly, a scaling law for the system nominal strength may be extracted based on the statistical properties of the prestress. We discuss the implications of our model for understanding the chaotic behaviors of systems with multiscale fractures.

Experiments on turbulent flows in rough pipes: spectral scaling laws and the spectral link
… profile in a pipe flow, we establish new scaling laws for the turbulent energy spectra of pipe flows. These new scaling laws— an inner scaling law and an outer scaling law—differ from the scaling laws that were predicated on Townsend’s attached–eddy hypothesis in that they are proper …

Unraveling rugae in compressed fiber-reinforced bilayers - New scaling laws for wrinkling, symmetry breaking, and beyond
… in isotropic bilayers is captured by established scaling laws at high substrate-to-film elastic mismatches, comparable formulations for anisotropic bilayers remain undeveloped. The thesis addresses this gap by analyzing wrinkling of plane-strain, hyperelastic, fiber-reinforced bilayers under …

Are animals choosing foraging patches according to spatial scaling laws or predator avoidance arguments? : a study on grazing ungulates in Hluhluwe Imfolozi
Spatial scaling laws predict that patch choke in animals in determined by body size, with smaller animals utilising smaller patches. However, this theory does not take into consideration the potential impact predator avoidance behaviour may have on patch choice. Smaller animals are more at risk …

Submarine landslide flows simulation through centrifuge modelling
… thesis is concerned with developing centrifuge scaling laws for submarine landslide flows through the study of modelling submarine landslide flows in a mini-drum centrifuge. A series of tests are conducted at different gravity fields in order to understand the scaling laws involved in the …

Some Optimization Problems in Wireless Networks
… the first part, we study the asymptotic capacity scaling laws of different types of wireless networks. By "asymptotic", we mean that the number of nodes in the network goes to infinity. Such asymptotic capacity scaling laws offer fundamental understandings on the trend of maximum user throughput …
