  • MIAMI UNIVERSITY the Graduate School Certification for Approving
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certification for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Stephen Hess Candidate for the Degree: Doctor of Philosophy ____________________________________ Director (Dr. Venelin Ganev) ____________________________________ Reader (Dr. Gulnaz Sharafutdinova) ____________________________________ Reader (Dr. Adeed Dawisha) ____________________________________ Graduate School Representative (Dr. Stanley Toops) ABSTRACT AUTHORITARIAN LANDSCAPES: STATE DECENTRALIZATION, POPULAR MOBILIZATION, AND THE INSTITUTIONAL SOURCES OF RESILIENCE IN NONDEMOCRACIES by Stephen Hess Beginning with the insight that highly-centralized state structures have historically provided a unifying target and fulcrum for the mobilization of contentious nationwide social movements, this dissertation investigates the hypothesis that decentralized state structures in authoritarian regimes impede the development of forms of popular contention sustained and coordinated on a national scale. As defined in this work, in a decentralized state, local officials assume greater discretionary control over public expenditures, authority over the implementation of government policies, and latitude in managing outbreaks of social unrest within their jurisdictions. As a result, they become the direct targets of most protests aimed at the state and the primary mediators of actions directed at third-party, non-state actors. A decentralized state therefore presents not one but a multitude of loci for protests, diminishing claimants‘ ability to use the central state as a unifying target and fulcrum for organizing national contentious movements. For this reason, decentralized autocracies are expected to face more fragmented popular oppositions and exhibit higher levels of durability than their more centralized counterparts. To examine this claim, I conduct four comparative case studies, organized into pairs of autocracies that share a common regime type but vary in terms of state decentralization.

    TensorFlow Eager: a multi-stage, Python-embedded DSL for machine learning Akshay Agrawal, Akshay Naresh Modi, Alexandre Passos, Allen Lavoie, Ashish Agarwal, Asim Shankar, Igor Ganichev, Josh Levenberg, Mingsheng Hong, Rajat Monga, Shanqing Cai* * ordered alphabetically Hi — my name is Akshay Agrawal. I was at Google Brain from 2017 to 2018, and I'm now a PhD student here at Stanford, in mathematical optimization. I'm going to talk about TensorFlow Eager. TensorFlow Eager is a part of TensorFlow that makes it possible to mix imperative and declarative programming. This is joint work with many people. Differentiable programming From DNNs to differentiable programs !2 The emphasis in machine learning research has shifted from building static DNNs to differentiating through complicated programs. These complicted programs might have data-dependent control flow, use complicated data structures, and so on. Embedded DSLs Libraries for differentiable programming ~ domain-specific languages (DSLs) !3 Because of this shift, libraries for machine learning are becoming more and more complicated. To the point that an argument has been made they are beginning to resemble domain- specific languages. Embedded DSLs Libraries for differentiable programming ~ domain-specific languages (DSLs) Modern 'DSLs' embedded in host languages Python (Chainer, Torch, Theano, TensorFlow), Julia (Flux), Swift (Swift for TensorFlow) !4 These so-called “DSLs" are "embedded" in host languages. The language is usually, but not always, embedded in Python. Embedded DSLs Libraries for differentiable programming ~ domain-specific languages (DSLs) Modern 'DSLs' embedded in host languages Python (Chainer, Torch, Theano, TensorFlow), Julia (Flux), Swift (Swift for TensorFlow) Most are either imperative or declarative, in the programming languages sense Some exceptions: MXNet, JAX, PyTorch 1.0 !5 Most of these libraries offer one of two different programming styles.

  • Snek: Overloading Python Semantics Via Virtualization
    1 Snek: Overloading Python Semantics via Virtualization JAMES M. DECKER1;2, DAN MOLDOVAN2, ANDREW A. JOHNSON2, GUANNAN WEI1, VRITANT BHARDWAJ1, GREGORY ESSERTEL1, FEI WANG1, ALEXANDER B. WILTSCHKO2, TIARK ROMPF 1 (1PURDUE UNIVERSITY, 2GOOGLE BRAIN) The Python language enjoys widespread adoption in a wide variety of domains spanning machine learning, scientific and high performance computing, and beyond. While implemented as libraries in Python, many Python frameworks aspire to be a domain-specific language (DSL), and often aim to bypass the Python interpreter. However, because Python’s inherent ability to overload built-in structures such as declarations, conditionals, or loops is limited, these frameworks are often constrained to a suboptimal, API-centric inter- face that replicates these built-ins with framework-specific semantics. Such an approach ultimately yields productivity losses for programmers, especially when switching between or mixing frameworks, as users must memorize an ever-expanding list of method calls for performing even simple tasks such as constructing control flow. Furthermore, API designers are forced to create new, substituting abstractions for traditional programming constructs, forcing a steep learning curve for users. In this paper, we propose a structured methodology to allow DSL developers to use the whole of Python as a front-end, rather than creating equivalent APIs or relying on shims. Our methodology provides an extensive operator overloading and virtualization mechanism through the use of source code transformations, and enables powerful mechanisms like type-based multi-stage programming (which is popular in statically typed languages), without requiring explicit type information (e.g., via type annotations). We implement this methodology in a system called Snek, which represents the first type-driven multi-stage programming framework for a dynamic language which does not require extra-linguistic mechanisms, and demonstrate the ability to quickly and easily provide new semantics for Python constructs.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT This thesis is an optimality-theoretic investigation of syllable restructuring in the Atlantic and Pacific English-lexicon pidgins and creoles, both in their earlier stages and in the modem varieties. The theoretical framework and the methodology are presented in chapter 2. The next three chapters examine the adjustments that occur in the English pidgins and creoles in two syllabic positions: the onset and the coda. Thus, chapter 3 looks into the strategies used to resolve illicit /s/-initial onset clusters. Chapter 4 investigates the fate of obstruent + sonorant onset clusters, to the exclusion of /s/-initial ones. The clusters at issue are of two types: obstruent + glide, and obstruent + liquid.

    Tuplex: Data Science in Python at Native Code Speed Leonhard Spiegelberg Rahul Yesantharao Malte Schwarzkopf Tim Kraska [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Brown University MIT Brown University MIT Abstract compute a flight’s distance covered from kilometers to miles Data science pipelines today are either written in Python via a UDF after joining with a carrier table: or contain user-defined functions (UDFs) written in Python. carriers= spark.read.load( 'carriers.csv') But executing interpreted Python code is slow, and arbitrary fun= udf( lambda m: m* 1.609, DoubleType()) Python UDFs cannot be compiled to optimized machine code. spark.read.load('flights.csv') We present Tuplex, the first data analytics framework that .join(carriers, 'code', 'inner') just-in-time compiles developers’ natural Python UDFs into .withColumn('distance', fun('distance')) efficient, end-to-end optimized native code. Tuplex introduces .write.csv('output.csv') a novel dual-mode execution model that compiles an opti- mized fast path for the common case, and falls back on slower This code will run data loading and the join using Spark’s exception code paths for data that fail to match the fast path’s compiled Scala operators, but must execute the Python UDF assumptions. Dual-mode execution is crucial to making end- passed to withColumn in a Python interpreter. This requires to-end optimizing compilation tractable: by focusing on the passing data between the Python interpreter and the JVM [41], common case, Tuplex keeps the code simple enough to apply and prevents generating end-to-end optimized code across the aggressive optimizations.
