Representing location choice within activity-based models

Michel Bierlaire, Timothy Michael Hillel, Janody Pougala

Since the 70s, there has been a growing interest in activity-based modelling. This approach models the need to travel as a result of performing daily activities (Bowman and Ben-Akiva, 2001). Nevertheless, the activities need to be scheduled which involves ...

Material removing tool and method for designing the same

Jean-François Molinari, Son-Jonathan Pham-Ba

The invention relates to a material removing tool, such as an ice cream scoop, and method for designing the same. The material removing tool has a shape optimized to minimize the amount of work the user has to provide in order to form and remove a piece of ...

Formal Approaches to Querying Big Data in Shared-Nothing Systems

Bas Ketsman

To meet today's data management needs, it is a widespread practice to use distributed data storage and processing systems. Since the publication of the MapReduce paradigm, a plethora of such systems arose, but although widespread, the capabilities of these ...

Applicability of Tail Corrections in the Molecular Simulations of Porous Materials

Berend Smit, Kevin Maik Jablonka, Daniele Ongari

Molecular simulations with periodic boundary conditions require the definition of a certain cutoff radius, r(c) beyond which pairwise dispersion interactions are neglected. For the simulation of homogeneous phases the use of tail corrections is well-establ ...

Modelling structures in cryo-EM maps

Matteo Dal Peraro, Sylvain Träger

Recent advances in structure determination of sub-cellular structures using cryo-electron microscopy and tomography have enabled us to understand their architecture in a more detailed manner and gain insight into their function. The choice of approach to u ...

Sparse Lens Inversion Technique (SLIT): lens and source separability from linear inversion of the source reconstruction problem

Frédéric Courbin, Rémy Elie Joseph

Strong gravitational lensing offers a wealth of astrophysical information on the background source it affects, provided the lensed source can be reconstructed as if it was seen in the absence of lensing. In the present work, we illustrate how sparse optimi ...

Efficient Learning from Comparisons

Lucas Maystre

Humans are comparison machines: comparing and choosing an item among a set of alternatives (such as objects or concepts) is arguably one of the most natural ways for us to express our preferences and opinions. In many applications, the analysis of data con ...

Dynamics of functional connectivity at high spatial resolution reveal long-range interactions and fine-scale organization

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Maria Giulia Preti

Dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) derived from resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging sheds light onto moment-to-moment reconfigurations of large-scale functional brain networks. Due to computational limits, connectivity is typically compu ...

Mitigating the impact of errors in travel time reporting on mode choice modelling

Michel Bierlaire, Aurélie Glerum, Giovanni Longo, Amanda Blomberg Stathopoulos, Silvia Francesca Varotto

Travel time is a major component in understanding travel demand. However, the quantification of demand and forecasting hinges on understanding how travel time is perceived and reported. Travel time reporting is typically subject to errors and this paper fo ...

Compilation Techniques for Incremental Collection Processing

Daniel Lupei

Many map-reduce frameworks as well as NoSQL systems rely on collection programming as their interface of choice due to its rich semantics along with an easily parallelizable set of primitives. Unfortunately, the potential of collection programming is not ...

Fast and Accurate Inference of Plackett-Luce Models

Matthias Grossglauser, Lucas Maystre

We show that the maximum-likelihood (ML) estimate of models derived from Luce’s choice axiom (e.g., the Plackett–Luce model) can be expressed as the stationary distribution of a Markov chain. This conveys insight into several recently proposed spectral inf ...

Activity choice modeling for pedestrian facilities

Antonin Danalet

This thesis develops models of activity and destination choices in pedestrian facilities from WiFi traces. We adapt the activity-based travel demand analysis of urban mobility to pedestrians and to digital footprints. We are interested in understanding the ...

Towards PLEs through Widget Spaces in Moodle

Denis Gillet, Evgeny Bogdanov

Bringing flexibility and extensibility into Learning Management Systems is crucial because it gives teachers and students a free choice of technologies and educational materials they want to use for their courses. This paper presents a solution by enabling ...

Methodology for Identification of Suitable ORC-Cycle and Working-Fluid using Integration with Multiple Objectives

François Maréchal, Daniel Favrat, Matthias Bendig

In recent times the interest in electricity production with Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) has increased. A look into recent publications shows that the identification of suitable working fluids is in general done by a look at a more or less small number of ...
