Generalized Bradley-Terry Models for Score Estimation from Paired Comparisons

Julien René Fageot, Le Nguyen Hoang, Sadegh Farhadkhani, Oscar Jean Olivier Villemaud

Many applications, e.g. in content recommendation, sports, or recruitment, leverage the comparisons of alternatives to score those alternatives. The classical Bradley-Terry model and its variants have been widely used to do so. The historical model conside ...

Regressive Tomography and Direct Regressive Reconstruction: A Research Note

Henri Weisen

Two related methods for inverting line-integrated measurements are presented in this research paper in the context of the recent deuterium-tritium experiments in the JET tokamak. Unlike traditional methods of tomography, these methods rely on making use of ...

Robust Outlier Rejection for 3D Registration with Variational Bayes

Mathieu Salzmann, Jiancheng Yang, Zheng Dang, Zhen Wei

Learning-based outlier (mismatched correspondence) rejection for robust 3D registration generally formulates the outlier removal as an inlier/outlier classification problem. The core for this to be successful is to learn the discriminative inlier/outlier f ...

Geometrically-Conditioned Point Diffusion Models

Pascal Fua, Eduard Trulls Fortuny, Michal Jan Tyszkiewicz

Diffusion models generating images conditionally on text, such as Dall-E 2 [51] and Stable Diffusion[53], have recently made a splash far beyond the computer vision com- munity. Here, we tackle the related problem of generating point clouds, both unconditi ...

A multi scale consolidation model for press moulding of hybrid textiles into complex geometries

Vincent Werlen

Side-by-side hybrid textiles are an intermediate step for the production of fibre-reinforced thermoplastic composites. Press moulding these materials combining reinforcing fibre textiles and thermoplastic matrix textiles or flexible layers is a promising m ...

How Words Move Hearts: Interpretable Machine Learning Models of Bias, Engagement, and Influence in Socio-Political Systems

Aswin Suresh

We study socio-political systems in representative democracies. Motivated by problems that affect the proper functioning of the system, we build computational methods to answer research questions regarding the phenomena occurring in them. For each phenomen ...

Robustness, replicability and scalability in topic modelling

Orion B Penner, Omar Ballester Gonzalez

Approaches for estimating the similarity between individual publications are an area of long -standing interest in the scientometrics and informetrics communities. Traditional techniques have generally relied on references and other metadata, while text mi ...

Model-Based Clustering of Trends and Cycles of Nitrate Concentrations in Rivers Across France

Camille Roland Marie Minaudo

Elevated nitrate from human activity causes ecosystem and economic harm globally. The factors that control the spatiotemporal dynamics of riverine nitrate concentration remain difficult to describe and predict. We analyzed nitrate concentration from 4450 s ...

A machine learning approach to portfolio pricing and risk management for high-dimensional problems

Damir Filipovic

We present a general framework for portfolio risk management in discrete time, based on a replicating martingale. This martingale is learned from a finite sample in a supervised setting. Our method learns the features necessary for an effective low-dimensi ...

A mixture model to take into account diluted gas in liquid flow: applications to aluminium electrolysis

Emile Tryphon Pierre Soutter

Aluminium is a metal sought in the industry because of its various physical properties. It is produced by an electrolysis reduction process in large cells. In these cells, a large electric current goes through the electrolytic bath and the liquid aluminium ...

Hidden Markov Modeling Over Graphs

Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski, Virginia Bordignon, Mert Kayaalp

This work proposes a multi-agent filtering algorithm over graphs for finite-state hidden Markov models (HMMs), which can be used for sequential state estimation or for tracking opinion formation over dynamic social networks. We show that the difference fro ...

Technology Strategy in Dynamic Environments: A Computational Analysis of the Automation of Routines, the Organization of AI, and the Evaluation of Technology Risk

Maximilian Wieland Hofer

In this dissertation, I develop theory and evidence to argue that new technologies are central to how firms organize to create and capture value. I use computational methods such as reinforcement learning and probabilistic topic modeling to investigate thr ...

Gradient-Based Learning of Discrete Structured Measurement Operators for Signal Recovery

Jonathan Paul Sauder

Countless signal processing applications include the reconstruction of signals from few indirect linear measurements. The design of effective measurement operators is typically constrained by the underlying hardware and physics, posing a challenging and of ...

A mixture model for a dilute dispersion of gas in a liquid flow: Mathematical analysis and application to aluminium electrolysis

Jacques Rappaz, Marco Picasso, Emile Tryphon Pierre Soutter

A mixture model to take into account the flow of small carbon dioxide bubbles dissolved in a liquid is presented. The model describes the evolution of the velocity fields (mixture and gas), the pressure and the volume fraction of gas. The system of equatio ...

Gradient-based Methods for Deep Model Interpretability

Suraj Srinivas

In this dissertation, we propose gradient-based methods for characterizing model behaviour for the purposes of knowledge transfer and post-hoc model interpretation. Broadly, gradients capture the variation of some output feature of the model upon unit vari ...

Sub‐asymptotic motivation for new conditional multivariate extreme models

Anthony Christopher Davison, Thomas Lugrin

Statistical models for extreme values are generally derived from non-degenerate probabilistic limits that can be used to approximate the distribution of events that exceed a selected high threshold. If convergence to the limit distribution is slow, then th ...
