GLOBALLY plus -REGULAR VARIETIES AND THE MINIMAL MODEL PROGRAM FOR THREEFOLDS IN MIXED CHARACTERISTIC

Zsolt Patakfalvi

We establish the Minimal Model Program for arithmetic threefolds whose residue characteristics are greater than five. In doing this, we generalize the theory of global F-regularity to mixed characteristic and identify certain stable sections of adjoint lin ...

Adaptive Risk-Based Replanning For Human-Aware Multi-Robot Task Allocation With Local Perception

Alcherio Martinoli, Zeynab Talebpour

In this letter, we propose an adaptive risk-based replanning strategy in the context of multirobot task allocation for dealing with limitations of local perception and unpredicted human behavior. Our replanning method is based on the variations of social r ...

Beyond Bouma's window: How to explain global aspects of crowding?

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Alban Bornet, Aaron Michael Clarke

In crowding, perception of an object deteriorates in the presence of nearby elements. Although crowding is a ubiquitous phenomenon, since elements are rarely seen in isolation, to date there exists no consensus on how to model it. Previous experiments show ...

Capsule networks, but not convolutional networks explain global configurational visual effects

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Alban Bornet

In human vision, perception of local features depends on all elements in the visual field and their exact configuration. For example, observers performed a vernier discrimination task. When a surrounding square was added to the vernier, the task became muc ...

Real-Time Control of Microgrids with Explicit Power Setpoints: Unintentional Islanding

Mario Paolone, Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Lorenzo Enrique Reyes Chamorro, Andrey Bernstein

We propose a method to perform a safe unintentional islanding maneuver of microgrids. The method is derived in the context of a framework for the real-time control of microgrids, called Commelec, recently proposed by the authors. The framework uses a hiera ...
