Training Techniques for Presence-Only Habitat Suitability Mapping with Deep Learning

Devis Tuia, Benjamin Alexander Kellenberger

The goal of habitat suitability mapping is to predict the lo-cations in which a given species could be present. This is typically accomplished by statistical models which use envi-ronmental variables to predict species observation data. The relationship be ...

Principles of checkpoint override

Ahmad Sadeghi

Why biological quality-control systems fail is often mysterious. Specifically, checkpoints such as the DNA damage checkpoint or the spindle assembly checkpoint are overriden after prolonged arrests allowing cells to continue dividing despite the continued ...

High-order accurate entropy stable adaptive moving mesh finite difference schemes for (multi-component) compressible Euler equations with the stiffened equation of state

Junming Duan

This paper extends the high-order entropy stable (ES) adaptive moving mesh finite difference schemes developed in Duan and Tang (2022) to the two- and three-dimensional (multi-component) compressible Euler equations with the stiffened equation of state (EO ...

A birth-death-migration model for life in astrophysical environments

Claudio Grimaldi

To assess the number of life-bearing worlds in astrophysical environments, it is necessary to take the intertwined processes of abiogenesis (birth), extinction (death), and transfer of life (migration) into account. We construct a mathematical model that i ...

Distributionally Robust Optimization with Markovian Data

Daniel Kuhn, Tobias Sutter, Mengmeng Li

We study a stochastic program where the probability distribution of the uncertain problem parameters is unknown and only indirectly observed via finitely many correlated samples generated by an unknown Markov chain with d states. We propose a data-driven d ...

Quantum conformance test

Elena Losero

We introduce a protocol addressing the conformance test problem, which consists in determining whether a process under test conforms to a reference one. We consider a process to be characterized by the set of end products it produces, which is generated ac ...

Shannon entropy and degree of polarization of a speckle pattern

Abhijit Roy

The dependence of the Shannon entropy (SE) of a speckle pattern on the degree of polarization (DoP) of the pattern is investigated both experimentally and numerically. The superposition of two uncorrelated speckle patterns with polarization diversity is ut ...

Ergodic Exploration Using Tensor Train: Applications in Insertion Tasks

Sylvain Calinon, Suhan Narayana Shetty

In robotics, ergodic control extends the tracking principle by specifying a probability distribution over an area to cover instead of a trajectory to track. The original problem is formulated as a spectral multiscale coverage problem, typically requiring t ...

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 ...

A Unified Theory of Robust and Distributionally Robust Optimization via the Primal-Worst-Equals-Dual-Best Principle

Daniel Kuhn, Wolfram Wiesemann, Jianzhe Zhen

Robust and distributionally robust optimization are modeling paradigms for decision-making under uncertainty where the uncertain parameters are only known to reside in an uncertainty set or are governed by any probability distribution from within an ambigu ...

Semi-Discrete Optimal Transport: Hardness, Regularization and Numerical Solution

Daniel Kuhn, Soroosh Shafieezadeh Abadeh, Bahar Taskesen

Semi-discrete optimal transport problems, which evaluate the Wasserstein distance between a discrete and a generic (possibly non-discrete) probability measure, are believed to be computationally hard. Even though such problems are ubiquitous in statistics, ...
