Learning convergence prediction of astrobots in multi-object spectrographs

Denis Gillet, Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Matin Macktoobian

Astrobot swarms are used to capture astronomical signals to generate the map of the observable universe for the purpose of dark energy studies. The convergence of each swarm in the course of its coordination has to surpass a particular threshold to yield a ...

Symbolic Algorithms for Token Swapping

Giovanni De Micheli, Mathias Soeken, Bruno Schmitt Antunes

We study different symbolic algorithms to solve two related reconfiguration problems on graphs: the token swapping problem and the permutation routing via matchings problem. Input to both problems is a connected graph with labeled vertices and a token in e ...

Scalable and Efficient Comparison-based Search without Features

Matthias Grossglauser, Lucas Maystre, Daniyar Chumbalov

We consider the problem of finding a target object t using pairwise comparisons, by asking an oracle questions of the form “Which object from the pair (i, j) is more similar to t?”. Objects live in a space of latent features, from which the oracle generate ...

Kernel Density Estimation through Density Constrained Near Neighbor Search

Mikhail Kapralov, Navid Nouri

In this paper we revisit the kernel density estimation problem: given a kernel K(x, y) and a dataset of n points in high dimensional Euclidean space, prepare a data structure that can quickly output, given a query q, a (1 + epsilon)-approximation to mu := ...

Linearly Convergent Frank-Wolfe with Backtracking Line-Search

Martin Jaggi

Structured constraints in Machine Learning have recently brought the Frank-Wolfe (FW) family of algorithms back into the spotlight. While the classical FW algorithm has poor local convergence properties, Away-steps FW and Pairwise FW have emerged as improv ...

Efficient Allocations in Constant Time: Towards Scalable Solutions in the Era of Large Scale Intelligent Systems

Boi Faltings, Panayiotis Danassis

The next technological revolution will be interwoven to the proliferation of intelligent systems. As we bridge the gap between physical and cyber worlds, we will give rise to large-scale, multi-agent based technologies. A key challenge that cities of the f ...

Drone-aided Localization in LoRa IoT Networks

Dario Floreano, Alexandru Rusu, Fabrizio Schiano, Giuseppe Cocco

Besides being part of the Internet of Things (IoT), drones can play a relevant role in it as enablers. The 3D mobility of UAVs can be exploited to improve node localization in IoT networks for, e.g., search and rescue or goods localization and tracking. On ...

Constrained expectation-maximization algorithm for stochastic inertial error modeling: study of feasibility

Jan Skaloud, Stéphane Guerrier, Yannick Stebler

Stochastic modeling is a challenging task for low-cost sensors whose errors can have complex spectral structures. This makes the tuning process of the INS/GNSS Kalman filter often sensitive and difficult. For example, first-order Gauss–Markov processes are ...

Anytime Heuristic for Weighted Matching Through Altruism-Inspired Behavior

Boi Faltings, Aris Filos Ratsikas, Panayiotis Danassis

We present a novel anytime heuristic (ALMA), inspired by the human principle of altruism, for solving the assignment problem. ALMA is decentralized, completely uncoupled, and requires no communication between the participants. We prove an upper bound on th ...

Heterogeneous Target Assignment to Robotic Fiber Positioner Systems

Denis Gillet, Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Matin Macktoobian

The target assignment methods applied to robotic fiber positioners are only applicable to homogeneous sets of targets to be observed. However, different batches of robotic fiber positioners available at the focal plane of a telescope can be simultaneously ...
