Valence can control the nonexponential viscoelastic relaxation of multivalent reversible gels

Hugo Camille Valentin Le Roy

Gels made of telechelic polymers connected by reversible cross-linkers are a versatile design platform for biocompatible viscoelastic materials. Their linear response to a step strain displays a fast, near-exponential relaxation when using low-valence cros ...

Regularized Diffusion Adaptation via Conjugate Smoothing

Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski

The purpose of this article is to develop and study a decentralized strategy for Pareto optimization of an aggregate cost consisting of regularized risks. Each risk is modeled as the expectation of some loss function with unknown probability distribution, ...

PoGaIN: Poisson-Gaussian Image Noise Modeling From Paired Samples

Sabine Süsstrunk, Majed El Helou

Image noise can often be accurately fitted to a Poisson-Gaussian distribution. However, estimating the distribution parameters from a noisy image only is a challenging task. Here, we study the case when paired noisy and noise-free samples are accessible. N ...

Memory of Motion for Initializing Optimization in Robotics

Teguh Santoso Lembono

Many robotics problems are formulated as optimization problems. However, most optimization solvers in robotics are locally optimal and the performance depends a lot on the initial guess. For challenging problems, the solver will often get stuck at poor loc ...

Robust Generalization despite Distribution Shift via Minimum Discriminating Information

Daniel Kuhn, Andreas Krause, Tobias Sutter

Training models that perform well under distribution shifts is a central challenge in machine learning. In this paper, we introduce a modeling framework where, in addition to training data, we have partial structural knowledge of the shifted test distribut ...

A Dirichlet process mixture model of discrete choice: Comparisons and a case study on preferences for shared automated vehicles

Rico Krüger

This paper i) compares parametric and semi-parametric representations of unobserved heterogeneity in hierarchical Bayesian logit models and ii) applies these methods to infer distributions of willingness to pay for features of shared automated vehicle (SAV ...

Wasserstein Distributionally Robust Learning

Soroosh Shafieezadeh Abadeh

Many decision problems in science, engineering, and economics are affected by uncertainty, which is typically modeled by a random variable governed by an unknown probability distribution. For many practical applications, the probability distribution is onl ...

Wavelet analysis of the Besov regularity of Levy white noise

Julien René Fageot, Shayan Aziznejad

We characterize the local smoothness and the asymptotic growth rate of the Levy white noise. We do so by characterizing the weighted Besov spaces in which it is located. We extend known results in two ways. First, we obtain new bounds for the local smoothn ...

Generating Sparse Stochastic Processes Using Matched Splines

Michaël Unser, Shayan Aziznejad, Leello Tadesse Dadi

We provide an algorithm to generate trajectories of sparse stochastic processes that are solutions of linear ordinary differential equations driven by Levy white noises. A recent paper showed that these processes are limits in law of generalized compound-P ...

Lancet: A self-correcting Latency Measuring Tool

Edouard Bugnion, Evangelos Marios Kogias

We present LANCET, a self-correcting tool designed to measure the open-loop tail latency of µs-scale datacenter applications with high fan-in connection patterns. LANCET is self-correcting as it relies on online statistical tests to determine situations in ...

On Jump-Diffusive Driving Noise Sources: Some Explicit Results and Applications

Max-Olivier Hongler, Roger Filliger

We study some linear and nonlinear shot noise models where the jumps are drawn from a compound Poisson process with jump sizes following an Erlang-m distribution. We show that the associated Master equation can be written as a spatial mth order partial dif ...

Bridging asymptotic independence and dependence in spatial extremes using Gaussian scale mixtures

Raphaël Huser, Emeric Rolland Georges Thibaud

Gaussian scale mixtures are constructed as Gaussian processes with a random variance. They have non-Gaussian marginals and can exhibit asymptotic dependence unlike Gaussian processes, which are asymptotically independent except in the case of perfect depen ...

Extremal attractors of Liouville copulas

Léo Raymond-Belzile

Liouville copulas introduced in McNeil and Ne lehova (2010) are asymmetric generalizations of the ubiquitous Archimedean copula class. They are the dependence structures of scale mixtures of Dirichlet distributions, also called Liouville distributions. In ...

Exploiting sequence information for text-dependent Speaker Verification

Petr Motlicek, Subhadeep Dey

Model-based approaches to Speaker Verification (SV), such as Joint Factor Analysis (JFA), i-vector and relevance Maximum-a-Posteriori (MAP), have shown to provide state-of-the-art performance for text-dependent systems with fixed phrases. The performance o ...

Online Inference in Bayesian Non-Parametric Mixture Models under Small Variance Asymptotics

Sylvain Calinon, Ajay Kumar Tanwani

Adapting statistical learning models online with large scale streaming data is a challenging problem. Bayesian non-parametric mixture models provide flexibility in model selection, however, their widespread use is limited by the computational overhead of e ...

Deep neural network based posteriors for text-dependent speaker verification

Petr Motlicek, Subhadeep Dey

The i-vector and Joint Factor Analysis (JFA) systems for text- dependent speaker verification use sufficient statistics computed from a speech utterance to estimate speaker models. These statis- tics average the acoustic information over the utterance ther ...

Performance Assessment of Linear State Estimators Using Synchrophasor Measurements

Mario Paolone, Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Lorenzo Zanni, Styliani Sarri, Miroslav Popovic

This paper aims to assess the performance of linear state estimation (SE) processes of power systems relying on synchrophasor measurements. The performance assessment is conducted with respect to two different families of SE algorithms, i.e., static ones r ...
