Lower Bounds on Regret for Noisy Gaussian Process Bandit Optimization

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett, Ilija Bogunovic

In this paper, we consider the problem of sequentially optimizing a black-box function

f

based on noisy samples and bandit feedback. We assume that

f

is smooth in the sense of having a bounded norm in some reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS), yield ...

Optimal solution and asymptotic properties of a stochastic control problem arising in sailboat trajectory optimization

Carlo Ciccarella

We study the optimal strategy for a sailboat to reach an upwind island under the hypothesis that the wind direction fluctuates according to a Brownian motion and the wind speed is constant. The work is motivated by a concrete problem which typically arises ...

Method and Procedure in Metal Detection and Distinctive Discrimination of Size, Shape, and Location of Hidden Single and Multi-Material Targets

Chafic Abu Antoun

This work provides a procedure and methodology for the design of an electro-magnetic sensor based on induction due to ferromagnetic and pure electrically conduc-tive hidden targets. The electromagnetic sensor is made of one or several excitation coils, whi ...

Breaking the FF3 Format Preserving Encryption

Serge Vaudenay, Fatma Betül Durak

The NIST standard FF3 scheme (also known as BPS scheme) is a tweakable block cipher based on a 8-round Feistel Network. We break it with a practical attack. Our attack exploits the bad domain separation in FF3 design. The attack works with chosen plaintext ...

Phase Transitions in Group Testing

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett

The group testing problem consists of determining a sparse subset of a set of items that are ``defective'' based on a set of possibly noisy tests, and arises in areas such as medical testing, fault detection, communication protocols, pattern matching, and ...

Partial Recovery Bounds for the Sparse Stochastic Block Model

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett

In this paper, we study the information-theoretic limits of community detection in the symmetric two-community stochastic block model, with intra-community and inter-community edge probabilities

\frac{a}{n}

and

\frac{b}{n}

respectively. We consider the ...

Excess success for three related papers on racial bias

Gregory Francis

Three related articles reported that racial bias altered perceptual experience and influenced decision-making. These findings have been applied to training programs for law enforcement, and elsewhere, to mitigate racial bias. However, a statistical analysi ...

Stable blow up dynamics for energy supercritical wave equations

Roland Donninger

We study the semilinear wave equation

\displaystyle \partial _t^2 \psi -\Delta \psi =\vert\psi \vert^{p-1}\psi

for

p > 3

with radial data in three spatial dimensions. There exists an explicit solution which blows up at

t=T>0

given by $\displaystyl ...

Scattering of wave maps from $\mathbb{R}^{2+1}$ to general targets

Joules Elie Nahas

We show that smooth, radially symmetric wave maps

U

from

\mathbb{R}^{2+1}

to a compact target manifold

N

, where

\partial_r U

and

\partial_t U

have compact support for any fixed time, scatter. The result will follow from the work of Christodoulou ...

SleepPic. Hardware Developments for a Wearable On-line Sleep and Wake Discrimination System

Dario Floreano

The design of wearable systems comes with constraints in computational and power resources. We describe the development of customized hardware for the wearable discrimination of human sleep and wake based on cardio-respiratory signals. The device was desig ...

Distributed Sensor Network Localization from Local Connectivity: Performance Analysis for the HOP-TERRAIN Algorithm

Amin Karbasi

This paper addresses the problem of determining the node locations in ad-hoc sensor networks when only connectivity information is available. In previous work, we showed that the localization algorithm MDS-MAP proposed by Y. Shang et al. is able to localiz ...
