An ensemble inverse optimal control approach for robotic task learning and adaptation

Aude Billard, Hang Yin

This paper contributes a novel framework to efficiently learn cost-to-go function representations for robotic tasks with latent modes. The proposed approach relies on the principle behind ensemble methods, where improved performance is obtained by aggregat ...

Negentropic linguistic evolution: A comparison of seven languages

Frédéric Kaplan, Vincent Christian Buntinx

The relationship between the entropy of language and its complexity has been the subject of much speculation – some seeing the increase of linguistic entropy as a sign of linguistic complexification or interpreting entropy drop as a marker of greater regul ...

Dimension-free Information Concentration via Exp-Concavity

Volkan Cevher, Ya-Ping Hsieh

Information concentration of probability measures have important implications in learning theory. Recently, it is discovered that the information content of a log-concave distribution concentrates around their differential entropy, albeit with an unpleasan ...

Dealing with Correlations in Discrete Choice Models

Anna Fernández Antolín

The focus of this thesis is to develop methods to address research challenges related to correlation patterns in discrete choice models. In the context of correlations within alternatives, we extend the novel methodology of the multiple indicator solution ...

Estimation of fatigue S-N curves of welded joints using advanced probabilistic approach

Alain Nussbaumer

This paper provides a new advanced probabilistic approach for reliable estimation of the fatigue characteristic S-N curves of welded joints both for constant amplitude (CA) and variable amplitude (VA) loading conditions. The presented approach, which is re ...

Polarization of the Renyi Information Dimension With Applications to Compressed Sensing

Emmanuel Abbé, Saeid Haghighatshoar

In this paper, we show that the Hadamard matrix acts as an extractor over the reals of the Renyi Information Dimension (RID), in an analogous way to how it acts as an extractor of the discrete entropy over finite fields. More precisely, we prove that the R ...

Irreducible network backbones: unbiased graph filtering via maximum entropy

Alessio Vincenzo Cardillo

Networks provide an informative, yet non-redundant description of complex systems only if links represent truly dyadic relationships that cannot be directly traced back to node-specific properties such as size, importance, or coordinates in some embedding ...

Extremal attractors of Liouville copulas

Léo Raymond-Belzile

Liouville copulas introduced in McNeil and Ne lehova (2010) are asymmetric generalizations of the ubiquitous Archimedean copula class. They are the dependence structures of scale mixtures of Dirichlet distributions, also called Liouville distributions. In ...

Energy efficiency as an example of cross-discipline collaboration in chemical engineering

François Maréchal

This paper summarizes the round-table discussion that was held during the European Congress of Chemical Engineering (ECCE) in Nice, France, in October 2015 on this topic. The panellists come from different fields of chemical engineering and have thus broug ...

Optimal Approximation for Submodular and Supermodular Optimization with Bounded Curvature

Justin Dean Ward

We design new approximation algorithms for the problems of optimizing submodular and supermodular functions subject to a single matroid constraint. Specifically, we consider the case in which we wish to maximize a monotone increasing submodular function or ...
