Spatiotemporal energy‐density distribution of time‐reversed electromagnetic fields

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Nicolas Mora Parra, Hamidreza Karami, Elias Per Joachim Le Boudec

Time reversal exploits the invariance of electromagnetic wave propagation in reciprocal and lossless media to localize radiating sources. Time-reversed measurements are back-propagated in a simulated domain and converge to the unknown source location. The ...

Optimization Algorithms for Decentralized, Distributed and Collaborative Machine Learning

Anastasiia Koloskova

Distributed learning is the key for enabling training of modern large-scale machine learning models, through parallelising the learning process. Collaborative learning is essential for learning from privacy-sensitive data that is distributed across various ...

Price Discrimination with Robust Beliefs

Thomas Alois Weber, Jun Han

This paper considers the problem of second-degree price discrimination when the type distribution is unknown or imperfectly specified by means of an ambiguity set. As robustness measure we use a performance index, equivalent to relative regret, which quant ...

Two antagonistic response regulators control Pseudomonas aeruginosa polarization during mechanotaxis

Alexandre Louis André Persat, Lorenzo Anton-Louis Talà, Xavier Jean-Yves Pierrat, Zaïnebe Dhirani, Marco Julian Kühn

The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa adapts to solid surfaces to enhance virulence and infect its host. Type IV pili (T4P), long and thin filaments that power surface-specific twitching motility, allow single cells to sense surfaces and contro ...

Regressive Tomography and Direct Regressive Reconstruction: A Research Note

Henri Weisen

Two related methods for inverting line-integrated measurements are presented in this research paper in the context of the recent deuterium-tritium experiments in the JET tokamak. Unlike traditional methods of tomography, these methods rely on making use of ...

Intelligent plantar pressure offloading for the prevention of diabetic foot ulcers and amputations

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Christian Köchli, Sofia Lydia Ntella, Bhawnath Tiwari, Kenny Jeanmonod

The high prevalence of lower extremity ulceration and amputation in people with diabetes is strongly linked to difficulties in achieving and maintaining a reduction of high plantar pressures (PPs) which remains an important risk factor. The effectiveness o ...

Adversarial Parametric Pose Prior

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Victor Constantin, Sina Honari, Anastasia Remizova, Andrey Davydov

The Skinned Multi-Person Linear (SMPL) model represents human bodies by mapping pose and shape parameters to body meshes. However, not all pose and shape parameter values yield physically-plausible or even realistic body meshes. In other words, SMPL is und ...

Feature distribution learning by passive exposure

David Pascucci, Gizay Ceylan

Humans can rapidly estimate the statistical properties of groups of stimuli, including their average and variability. But recent studies of so-called Feature Distribution Learning (FDL) have shown that observers can quickly learn even more complex aspects ...

Deep Domain Adaptation in Earth Observation

Devis Tuia, Benjamin Alexander Kellenberger

When applied to new datasets, acquired at different time moments, with different sensors or under different acquisition conditions, deep learning models might fail spectacularly. This is because they have learned from the data distribution observed during ...

Learning from demonstration using products of experts: Applications to manipulation and task prioritization

Sylvain Calinon, Emmanuel Pignat

Probability distributions are key components of many learning from demonstration (LfD) approaches, with the spaces chosen to represent tasks playing a central role. Although the robot configuration is defined by its joint angles, end-effector poses are oft ...

RC U-shaped walls subjected to in-plane, diagonal, and torsional loading: New experimental findings

Katrin Beyer

Although reinforced concrete U-shaped walls are popular in construction practice internationally, there is a paucity of experimental research investigating the seismic performance of such salient elements. The present paper summarizes an experimental campa ...

A Statistical Test for Probabilistic Fairness

Daniel Kuhn, Viet Anh Nguyen, Bahar Taskesen

Algorithms are now routinely used to make consequential decisions that affect human lives. Examples include college admissions, medical interventions or law enforcement. While algorithms empower us to harness all information hidden in vast amounts of data, ...

Shapes of rotating normal fluid He-3 versus superfluid He-4 droplets in molecular beams

Christoph Bostedt, Andre Al Haddad

Previous single-pulse extreme ultraviolet and x-ray coherent diffraction studies revealed that superfluid He-4 droplets obtained in a free jet expansion acquire sizable angular momentum, resulting in significant centrifugal distortion. Similar experiments ...

Impact of a companion and of chromospheric emission on the shape of chromosome maps for globular clusters

Carmela Lardo

Context. Globular clusters (GCs) host multiple populations of stars that are well-separated in a photometric diagram - the chromosome map - built from specific Hubble Space Telescope (HST) filters. Stars from different populations feature at various locati ...

Fat navigators and Moire phase tracking comparison for motion estimation and retrospective correction

Daniel Gallichan, Frédéric Gretsch

Purpose To compare motion tracking by 2 modern methods (fat navigators [FatNavs] and Moir' phase tracking [MPT]) as well as their performance for retrospective correction of very high resolution acquisitions. Methods A direct comparison of FatNavs and MPT ...

Distributionally Robust Inverse Covariance Estimation: The Wasserstein Shrinkage Estimator

Daniel Kuhn, Viet Anh Nguyen, Peyman Mohajerin Esfahani

We introduce a distributionally robust maximum likelihood estimation model with a Wasserstein ambiguity set to infer the inverse covariance matrix of a p-dimensional Gaussian random vector from n independent samples. The proposed model minimizes the worst ...

Collaborative Sampling in Generative Adversarial Networks

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Yuejiang Liu, Parth Ashit Kothari

The standard practice in Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) discards the discriminator during sampling. However, this sampling method loses valuable information learned by the discriminator regarding the data distribution. In this work, we propose a co ...

Data-Aware Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning

Aleksei Triastcyn

In this thesis, we focus on the problem of achieving practical privacy guarantees in machine learning (ML), where the classic differential privacy (DP) fails to maintain a good trade-off between user privacy and data utility. Differential privacy guarantee ...
