Influence of sun cups on surface albedo of wet Alpine snowpack

Michael Lehning, Loïc Marcel Louis Brouet

In high elevation Alpine areas, characterised by high snow accumulation and radiation-driven melt processes, the formation of peculiar ablation features called sun cups can be observed. Sun cups likely influence the energy and mass balance of the wet snowp ...

Uncertainty-aware Flexibility Envelope Prediction in Buildings with Controller-agnostic Battery Models

Colin Neil Jones, Rafael Eduardo Carrillo Rangel, Paul Scharnhorst

Buildings are a promising source of flexibility for the application of demand response. In this work, we introduce a novel battery model formulation to capture the state evolution of a single building. Being fully data-driven, the battery model identificat ...

Graph-based approximate message passing iterations

Raphaël Jean Berthier

Approximate message passing (AMP) algorithms have become an important element of high-dimensional statistical inference, mostly due to their adaptability and concentration properties, the state evolution (SE) equations. This is demonstrated by the growing ...

The Digital Ethics Canvas: A Guide For Ethical Risk Assessment And Mitigation In The Digital Domain

Vladimir Macko, Patrick Jermann, Adrian Christian Holzer, Cécile Hardebolle, Vivek Ramachandran

Ethical concerns in the digital domain are growing with the extremely fast evolution of technology and the increasing scale at which software is deployed, potentially affecting our societies globally. It is crucial that engineers evaluate more systematical ...

Planted XY model: Thermodynamics and inference

Lenka Zdeborová, Guanhao Huang, Siyu Chen, Giovanni Piccioli

In this paper we study a fully connected planted spin glass named the planted XY model. Motivation for studying this system comes both from the spin glass field and the one of statistical inference where it models the angular synchronization problem. We de ...

Multi-layer State Evolution Under Random Convolutional Design

Lenka Zdeborová, Florent Gérard Krzakala

Signal recovery under generative neural network priors has emerged as a promising direction in statistical inference and computational imaging. Theoretical analysis of reconstruction algorithms under generative priors is, however, challenging. For generati ...

Subspace clustering in high-dimensions: Phase transitions & Statistical-to-Computational gap

Lenka Zdeborová, Florent Gérard Krzakala, Bruno Loureiro, Luca Pesce

A simple model to study subspace clustering is the high-dimensional k -Gaussian mixture model where the cluster means are sparse vectors. Here we provide an exact asymptotic characterization of the statistically optimal reconstruction error in this model i ...

Generation of chiral asymmetry via helical magnetic fields

Salim Bennouna

It is well known that helical magnetic fields undergo a so-called inverse cascade by which their correlation length grows due to the conservation of magnetic helicity in classical ideal magnetohydro-dynamics (MHD). At high energies above approximately 10 M ...

Local Tomography of Large Networks Under the Low-Observability Regime

Ali H. Sayed, Augusto José Rabelo Almeida Santos

This article studies the problem of reconstructing the topology of a network of interacting agents via observations of the state-evolution of the agents. We focus on the large-scale network setting with the additional constraint of partial observations, wh ...

Lithium in red giant stars: Constraining non-standard mixing with large surveys in the Gaia era

Pierre North

Context. Li is extensively known to be a good tracer of non-standard mixing processes occurring in stellar interiors. Aims. We present the results of a new large Li survey in red giant stars and combine it with surveys from the literature to probe the impa ...

Mutual Information and Optimality of Approximate Message-Passing in Random Linear Estimation

Nicolas Macris, Florent Gérard Krzakala, Jean François Emmanuel Barbier, Mohamad Baker Dia

We consider the estimation of a signal from the knowledge of its noisy linear random Gaussian projections. A few examples where this problem is relevant are compressed sensing, sparse superposition codes, and code division multiple access. There has been a ...

Combining the Knowledge Appropriation Model and epistemic networks to understand co-creation and adoption of learning designs using log data

Denis Gillet, Maria Jesus Rodriguez Triana

Social practices are well-known mediators in the adoption of educational innovations during professional learning, as postulated by the Knowledge Appropriation Model (KAM). However, understanding how teachers adopt new pedagogical approaches at scale is of ...

Understanding multimodality through rhythm of life. An empirical evidence from the Swiss case study

Guillaume Simon Joseph Drevon, Alexis Gumy

The car dominance car in the urban transport system may contribute to health and environmental troubles. In recent years, multimodality appears as a central issue for public policies as they try to encourage and develop the modal shift in favour of walking ...

Universal Sparse Superposition Codes With Spatial Coupling and GAMP Decoding

Nicolas Macris, Jean François Emmanuel Barbier, Mohamad Baker Dia

Sparse superposition codes, or sparse regression codes, constitute a new class of codes, which was first introduced for communication over the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. It has been shown that such codes are capacity-achieving over the A ...

The potential of textile reinforced concrete for design of innovative structures

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Patricia Guaita, Raffael Baur, Patrick Lorenzo Valeri

Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) is a recent evolution of ordinary reinforced concrete. This relatively new construction material replaces steel reinforcement with high-strength, non-corrosive textile fabrics in order to reduce cover requirements to minim ...

A Time-Vertex Signal Processing Framework

Nathanaël Perraudin, Benjamin Ricaud, Andreas Loukas, Francesco Grassi

An emerging way to deal with high-dimensional non-euclidean data is to assume that the underlying structure can be captured by a graph. Recently, ideas have begun to emerge related to the analysis of time-varying graph signals. This work aims to elevate th ...

Communication-aware adaptive parareal with application to a nonlinear hyperbolic system of partial dierential equations

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Allan Svejstrup Nielsen, Gilles Brunner

In the strong scaling limit, the performance of conventional spatial domain decomposition techniques for the parallel solution of PDEs saturates. When sub-domains become small, halo-communication and other overheard come to dominate. A potential path beyon ...

Studying Linguistic Changes over 200 Years of Newspapers through Resilient Words Analysis

Frédéric Kaplan, Cyril Antoine Michel Bornet, Vincent Christian Buntinx

This paper presents a methodology to analyze linguistic changes in a given textual corpus allowing to overcome two common problems related to corpus linguistics studies. One of these issues is the monotonic increase of the corpus size with time, and the ot ...
