Pathological Retinal Region Segmentation From OCT Images Using Geometric Relation Based Augmentation

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Seyedbehzad Bozorgtabar

Medical image segmentation is an important task forcomputer aided diagnosis. Pixelwise manual annotationsof large datasets require high expertise and is time consum-ing. Conventional data augmentations have limited benefitby not fully representing the unde ...

Variational Quantum Monte Carlo Method with a Neural-Network Ansatz for Open Quantum Systems

Vincenzo Savona, Alexandra Nagy

The possibility to simulate the properties of many-body open quantum systems with a large number of degrees of freedom (d.o.f.) is the premise to the solution of several outstanding problems in quantum science and quantum information. The challenge posed b ...

Bayesian Gaussian mixture model for robotic policy imitation

Sylvain Calinon, Emmanuel Pignat

A common approach to learn robotic skills is to imitate a demonstrated policy. Due to the compounding of small errors and perturbations, this approach may let the robot leave the states in which the demonstrations were provided. This requires the considera ...

Sequential model identification of reaction systems-The missing path between the incremental and simultaneous approaches

Dominique Bonvin, Julien Léo Billeter, Sriniketh Srinivasan

Modeling chemical reaction systems is an important but complex task. The identified kinetic model must be able to explain all the underlying rate processes such as chemical reactions and heat and mass transfers. Traditionally, the modeling task is carried ...

A Learned Shape-Adaptive Subsurface Scattering Model

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Delio Aleardo Vicini

Subsurface scattering, in which light refracts into a translucent material to interact with its interior, is the dominant mode of light transport in many types of organic materials. Accounting for this phenomenon is thus crucial for visual realism, but exp ...

Contributions to Likelihood-Based Modelling of Extreme Values

Léo Raymond-Belzile

xtreme value analysis is concerned with the modelling of extreme events such as floods and heatwaves, which can have large impacts. Statistical modelling can be useful to better assess risks even if, due to scarcity of measurements, there is inherently ver ...

Distributed Inference Over Networks Under Subspace Constraints

Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski, Roula Nassif

This paper considers optimization problems over networks where agents have individual objectives to meet, or individual parameter vectors to estimate, subject to subspace constraints that enforce the objectives across the network to lie in a low-dimensiona ...

Efficient Relaxations for Dense CRFs with Sparse Higher-Order Potentials

Mathieu Salzmann

Dense conditional random fields (CRFs) have become a popular framework for modeling several problems in computer vision such as stereo correspondence and multiclass semantic segmentation. By modeling long-range interactions, dense CRFs provide a labeling t ...

Constrained expectation-maximization algorithm for stochastic inertial error modeling: study of feasibility

Jan Skaloud, Stéphane Guerrier, Yannick Stebler

Stochastic modeling is a challenging task for low-cost sensors whose errors can have complex spectral structures. This makes the tuning process of the INS/GNSS Kalman filter often sensitive and difficult. For example, first-order Gauss–Markov processes are ...

Incremental Learning of Gestures by Imitation in a Humanoid Robot

Aude Billard, Sylvain Calinon

We present an approach to teach incrementally human gestures to a humanoid robot. The learning process consists of first projecting the movement data in a latent space and encoding the resulting signals in a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). We compare the per ...
