On Matching Pursuit and Coordinate Descent

Martin Jaggi, Sebastian Urban Stich, Sai Praneeth Reddy Karimireddy

Two popular examples of first-order optimization methods over linear spaces are coordinate descent and matching pursuit algorithms, with their randomized variants. While the former targets the optimization by moving along coordinates, the latter considers ...

Simulation of plasma turbulence in the periphery of diverted tokamaks

Paola Paruta

The turbulent plasma dynamics in the periphery of a fusion device plays a key role in determining its overall performance. In fact, the periphery controls the heat load on the vessel walls, the plasma confinement, the level of impurities in the core, the ...

Bulged Eardrum Detection From 3D Data

Pascal Frossard, Ivana Tosic, Sofia Karygianni

Bulging is a medical characteristic of the eardrum that is crucial for the diagnosis of acute otitis media. This work proposes a novel classification method for distinguishing bulged eardrums from non-bulged ones. The method uses novel key features extract ...

Blob properties in full-turbulence simulations of the TCV scrape-off layer

Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Benoît Labit, Fabio Avino, Federico Nespoli, Federico David Halpern, Fabio Riva

To investigate blob properties in the tokamak scrape-off layer (SOL), we perform dedicated numerical nonlinear simulations of plasma turbulence in the SOL of a TCV discharge using the Global Braginskii Solver code. A blob detection technique is used for th ...

Scalable greedy algorithms for transfer learning

Barbara Caputo, Ilja Kuzborskij

In this paper we consider the binary transfer learning problem, focusing on how to select and combine sources from a large pool to yield a good performance on a target task. Constraining our scenario to real world, we do not assume the direct access to the ...

Solid hydrometeor classification and riming degree estimation from pictures collected with a Multi-Angle Snowflake Camera

Alexis Berne, Christophe Praz

A new method to automatically classify solid hydrometeors based on Multi-Angle Snowflake Camera (MASC) images is presented. For each individual image, the method relies on the calculation of a set of geometric and texture-based descriptors to simultaneousl ...

Direct unwrapped phase estimation in phase shifting interferometry using Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm

Pramod Rastogi, Rishikesh Dilip Kulkarni

An algorithm for the direct unwrapped phase estimation from the linearly phase shifted interferograms is presented. The temporal fringe intensity along each pixel is represented as a function of fringe amplitude, phase step and the searched phase. These pa ...

Scrape-Off Layer physics in limited plasmas in TCV

Federico Nespoli

Controlled nuclear fusion is the most promising candidate for being an inexhaustible, clean and intrinsically safe energy source. In the tokamak fusion reactor concept, a high temperature plasma is confined by magnetic fields. Turbulence diffuses the confi ...
