Towards Motion Forecasting with Real-World Perception Inputs: Are End-to-End Approaches Competitive?

Alexandre Massoud Alahi

Motion forecasting is crucial in enabling autonomous vehicles to anticipate the future trajectories of surrounding agents. To do so, it requires solving mapping, detection, tracking, and then forecasting problems, in a multi-step pipeline. In this complex ...

The EU carbon border adjustment mechanism: implications on Brazilian energy intensive industries

Marc Vielle, Sigit Pria Perdana

As an instrument supporting the realization of EU climate neutrality targets by 2050 and encouraging decarbonization outside its borders, the current proposed Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is facing opposition from some countries. Focusing on B ...

Optimization and equilibrium problems with discrete choice models

Stefano Bortolomiol

Many transportation markets are characterized by oligopolistic competition. In these markets customers, suppliers and regulators make decisions that are influenced by the preferences and the decisions of all other agents. In particular, capturing and under ...

Opportunities in Critical Rare Earth Metal Recycling Value Chains for Economic Growth with Sustainable Technological Innovations

Christian Ludwig, Rudolf Paul Wilhelm Jozef Struis, Ajay Bhagwan Patil

Rare earth elements (REEs) are often referred to as the industrial vitamins and the key drivers of the industry 4.0 revolution. The current global supply chain of REEs for green and high-tech applications with more than 220 metric kilotons per year involve ...

A Simulation-Based Heuristic to Find Approximate Equilibria with Disaggregate Demand Models

Michel Bierlaire, Virginie Janine Camille Lurkin, Stefano Bortolomiol

Oligopolistic competition occurs in various transportation markets. In this paper, we introduce a framework to find approximate equilibrium solutions of oligopolistic markets in which demand is modeled at the disaggregate level using discrete choice models ...

Techno-economic assessment of postcombustion carbon capture using high-performance nanoporous single-layer graphene membranes

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Mostapha Dakhchoune, Marina Micari

High-performance membranes have emerged as an energy-efficient alternative to absorption-based postcombustion carbon capture. So far, the techno-economic analyses have been centered around the polymeric membranes. Recently, nanoporous single-layer graphene ...

Price-based regulation of oligopolistic markets under discrete choice models of demand

Michel Bierlaire, Virginie Janine Camille Lurkin, Stefano Bortolomiol

We propose a framework to find optimal price-based policies to regulate markets characterized by oligopolistic competition and in which consumers make a discrete choice among a finite set of alternatives. The framework accommodates general discrete choice ...

Design Approaches for Creating Person-Centered, Context Sensitive, and Sustainable Assistive Technology with the Global South

Klaus Benedikt Schönenberger, Mario Andres Chavarria Varon

The implementation of non-user-centered design is sometimes effective for traditionally mass-produced items; however, these methods do not take into account local needs, resources, and cultures, and the history of individual people and communities in low- ...

Pose Transformers (POTR): Human Motion Prediction with Non-Autoregressive Transformers

Jean-Marc Odobez, Michael Villamizar

We propose to leverage Transformer architectures for non-autoregressive human motion prediction. Our approach decodes elements in parallel from a query sequence, instead of conditioning on previous predictions such as in state-of-the-art RNN-based approach ...

node2coords: Graph Representation Learning with Wasserstein Barycenters

Pascal Frossard, Ntorina Thanou, Effrosyni Simou

In order to perform network analysis tasks, representations that capture the most relevant information in the graph structure are needed. However, existing methods learn representations that cannot be interpreted in a straightforward way and that are relat ...

Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) in the Transition to Net-Zero Emissions: Collective Implementation and Distributional Impacts

Marc Vielle, Sigit Pria Perdana

As an instrument to minimize carbon leakage, the effects and feasibility of Carbon Border Adjustments Mechanism (CBAM) will depend on multiple design options. While the EU has committed to introducing CBAM as part of its green climate deal, pursuing climat ...

Emergence of diauxie as an optimal growth strategy under resource allocation constraints in cellular metabolism

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Pierre Guy Rémy Salvy

Diauxie, or the sequential consumption of carbohydrates in bacteria such as Escherichia coli, has been hypothesized to be an evolutionary strategy which allows the organism to maximize its instantaneous specific growth-giving the bacterium a competitive ad ...

War of Words: The Competitive Dynamics of Legislative Processes

Patrick Thiran, Matthias Grossglauser, Victor Kristof

A body of law is an example of a dynamic corpus of text documents that are jointly maintained by a group of editors who compete and collaborate in complex constellations. Our goal is to develop predictive models for this process, thereby shedding light on ...

Hurdle Clearance Detection and Spatiotemporal Analysis in 400 Meters Hurdles Races Using Shoe-Mounted Magnetic and Inertial Sensors

Kamiar Aminian, Mathieu Pascal Falbriard

This research aimed to determine whether: (1) shoe-worn magnetic and inertial sensors can be used to detect hurdle clearance and identify the leading leg in 400-m hurdles, and (2) to provide an analysis of the hurdlers’ spatiotemporal parameters in the int ...

Astrocytic release of ATP through type 2 inositol 1,4,5‐trisphosphate receptor calcium signaling and social dominance behavior in mice

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Fiona Hollis, Jocelin Grosse, Marie-Isabelle Guillot de Suduiraut, Eva Ramos Fernandez

Brain mitochondrial function is critical for numerous neuronal processes. We recently identified a link between brain energy and social dominance, where higher levels of mitochondrial function resulted in increased social competitive ability. The underlyin ...

A demand-based optimization approach to find market equilibria in oligopolies

Stefano Bortolomiol

Oligopolistic competition occurs often in transportation as well as in other markets due to reasons such as barriers to entry, limited capacity of the infrastructure and external regulations. In transport oligopolies, suppliers are profit maximizers and ta ...

A demand-based optimization approach to find market equilibria in oligopolies

Michel Bierlaire, Virginie Janine Camille Lurkin, Stefano Bortolomiol

Oligopolistic competition occurs when a small number of operators compete for the same pool of customers. This is often the case in transportation, due to reasons such as external regulations, economies of scale and limited capacity of the infrastructure. ...
