SciPy

SciPy (pronounced 'saɪpaɪ "sigh pie") is a free and open-source Python library used for scientific computing and technical computing. SciPy contains modules for optimization, linear algebra, integration, interpolation, special functions, FFT, signal and , ODE solvers and other tasks common in science and engineering. SciPy is also a family of conferences for users and developers of these tools: SciPy (in the United States), EuroSciPy (in Europe) and SciPy.in (in India). Enthought originated the SciPy conference in the United States and continues to sponsor many of the international conferences as well as host the SciPy website. The SciPy library is currently distributed under the BSD license, and its development is sponsored and supported by an open community of developers. It is also supported by NumFOCUS, a community foundation for supporting reproducible and accessible science. The SciPy package is at the core of Python's scientific computing capabilities. Available sub-packages include: cluster: hierarchical clustering, vector quantization, K-means constants: physical constants and conversion factors fft: Discrete Fourier Transform algorithms fftpack: Legacy interface for Discrete Fourier Transforms integrate: numerical integration routines interpolate: interpolation tools io: data input and output linalg: linear algebra routines misc: miscellaneous utilities (e.g. example images) ndimage: various functions for multi-dimensional ODR: orthogonal distance regression classes and algorithms optimize: optimization algorithms including linear programming signal: signal processing tools sparse: sparse matrices and related algorithms spatial: algorithms for spatial structures such as k-d trees, nearest neighbors, Convex hulls, etc. special: special functions stats: statistical functions weave: tool for writing C/C++ code as Python multiline strings (now deprecated in favor of Cython) The basic data structure used by SciPy is a multidimensional array provided by the NumPy module.

Competence-mediated DNA uptake diversifies Vibrio cholerae sedentary chromosomal integrons

Bacteria often survive viral attack and environmental stress by sharing genes that enhance their defenses. The cholera pathogen Vibrio cholerae carries a sedentary chromosomal integron (SCI), a genetic element containing hundreds of mostly promoterless gene cassettes, about 10% of which encode antiviral systems. Cassettes are thought to reshuffle under stress to the favorable first array position, yet the SCI in pandemic V. cholerae has remained static for more than 60 years. In this study, we show that SCI

Codebase release 0.1 for AutoPot

Machine-learning potentials (MLIPs) have been a breakthrough for computational physics in bringing the accuracy of quantum mechanics to atomistic modeling. To achieve near-quantum accuracy, it is necessary that neighborhoods contained in the training set are rather close to the ones encountered during a simulation. Yet, constructing a single training set that works well for all applications is, and likely will remain, infeasible, so, one strategy is to supplement training protocols for MLIPs with additional

JADIS SuperMapRealigner: A Generic Method for the Automatic Alignment of Historical Maps

JADIS SuperMapRealigner is a generic method for the automated alignment, or georeferencing, of historical map images. It was developed as part of a collaboration between the Digital Humanities Laboratory at EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne) and the Department of Maps and Plans at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF). The method relies on automated segmentation of the road network, as well as local keypoint detection and matching using the SuperPoint detector and the SuperGlue gr

Martin Vetterli

Martin Vetterli was appointed president of EPFL by the Federal Council following a selection process conducted by the ETH Board, which unanimously nominated him. Professor Vetterli was born on 4 October 1957 in Solothurn and received his elementary and secondary education in Neuchâtel Canton. He earned a Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from ETH Zurich (ETHZ) in 1981, a Master’s of Science degree from Stanford University in 1982, and a PhD from EPFL in 1986. Professor Vetterli taught at Columbia University as an assistant and then associate professor. He was subsequently named full professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University of California at Berkeley before returning to EPFL as a full professor at the age of 38. He has also taught at ETHZ and Stanford University. Professor Vetterli has earned numerous national and international awards for his research in electrical engineering, computer science and applied mathematics, including the National Latsis Prize in 1996. He is a fellow of both the Association for Computing Machinery and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and a member the US National Academy of Engineering. He has published over 170 articles and three reference works. Professor Vetterli’s work on the theory of wavelets, which are used in signal processing, is considered to be of major importance by his peers, and his areas of expertise, including image and video compression and self-organized communication systems, are central to the development of new information technologies. As the founding director of the National Centre of Competence in Research on Mobile Information and Communication Systems, Professor Vetterli is a staunch advocate of transdisciplinary research. Professor Vetterli knows EPFL inside and out. An EPFL graduate himself, he began been teaching at the school in 1995, was vice president for International Affairs and then Institutional Affairs from 2004 to 2011, and served as dean of the School of Computer and Communication Sciences in 2011 and 2012. In addition to his role as president of the National Research Council of the Swiss National Science Foundation, a position he held from 2013 to 2016, he heads the EPFL’s Audiovisual Communications Laboratory (LCAV) since 1995. Professor Vetterli has supported more than 60 students in Switzerland and the United States in their doctoral work and makes a point of following their highly successful careers, whether it is in the academic or business world. He is the author of some 50 patents, some of which were the basis for start-ups coming out of his lab, such as Dartfish and Illusonic, while others were sold (e.g. Qualcomm) as successful examples of technology transfer. He actively encourages young researchers to market the results of their work.

In this notebook we will use the adaptive LMS filter to estimate the impulse response of a reverberating room. A typical use case is handsfree telephony: since the received signal, amplified and played by the speaker, is picked up by the microphone, we need to eliminate it from the signal that is transmitted back in order to avoid a feedback loop. The signal picked up by the microph
