Fairness and Explainability in Clustering Problems

In this thesis we present and analyze approximation algorithms for three different clustering problems. The formulations of these problems are motivated by fairness and explainability considerations, two issues that have recently received attention in the ...

Asymptotically Optimal Contextual Bandit Algorithm Using Hierarchical Structures

We propose an online algorithm for sequential learning in the contextual multiarmed bandit setting. Our approach is to partition the context space and, then, optimally combine all of the possible mappings between the partition regions and the set of bandit ...

Unsupervised Robust Nonparametric Learning Of Hidden Community Properties

Martin Jaggi, Mikhail Langovoy

We consider learning of fundamental properties of communities in large noisy networks, in the prototypical situation where the nodes or users are split into two classes according to a binary property, e.g., according to their opinions or preferences on a t ...

Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics Investigation of Molten Fe-Si-O in Earth's Core

James Badro

Silicon and oxygen are potential light elements in Earth's core because their stronger affinity to metal observed with increasing temperature posits that significant amounts of both can be incorporated into the core. It was proposed that an Fe-Si-O liquid ...

Practical Private Range Search in Depth

Odysseas Papapetrou

We consider a data owner that outsources its dataset to an untrusted server. The owner wishes to enable the server to answer range queries on a single attribute, without compromising the privacy of the data and the queries. There are several schemes on “pr ...

Limitations of Partial Compaction: Towards Practical Bounds

Nachshon Cohen

Compaction of a managed heap is a costly operation to be avoided as much as possible in commercial runtimes. Instead, partial compaction is often used to defragment parts of the heap and avoid space blowup. Previous study of compaction limitation provided ...

An Ergodic Theory of Binary Operations-Part II: Applications to Polarization

Rajai Nasser

An open problem in polarization theory is to determine the binary operations that always lead to polarization (in the general multilevel sense) when they are used in Arikan style constructions. This paper, which is presented in two parts, solves this probl ...

Ergodic Theory Meets Polarization I: A Foundation of Polarization Theory

Rajai Nasser

An open problem in polarization theory is to determine the binary operations that always lead to polarization when they are used in Arıkan style constructions. This paper solves this problem by providing a necessary and sufficient condition for a binary op ...

Binary Compressed Imaging

Michaël Unser, Aurélien Bourquard

Compressed sensing can substantially reduce the number of samples required for conventional signal acquisition at the expense of an additional reconstruction procedure. It also provides robust reconstruction when using quantized measurements, including in ...

CAT(0) Geometry for the Thompson Group

Dan Titus Salajan

We investigate Farley’s CAT(0) cubical model for Thompson’s group F (we adopt the classical language of F, using binary trees and piecewise linear maps, avoiding the one of diagram groups and pictures). Main results include: in general, Thompson’s group el ...

How to Allocate Tasks Asynchronously

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert, Dan Alistarh

Asynchronous task allocation is a fundamental problem in distributed computing in which p asynchronous processes must execute a set of m tasks. Also known as write-all or do-all, this problem been studied extensively, both independently and as a key buildi ...

An Efficient Algorithm for Level Set Method Preserving Distance Function

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Xavier Bresson, Dominique Zosso, Virginia Estellers Casas

The level set method is a popular technique for tracking moving interfaces in several disciplines including computer vision and fluid dynamics. However, despite its high flexibility, the original level set method is limited by two important numerical issue ...

Development of Tunable Optical MEMS for Advanced Laser Beam Shaping, Homogenizing and Speckle Reduction

Jonathan Masson

In this thesis, the development, design, fabrication and characterization of three innovative laser beam shaping, homogenizing and speckle reduction devices are reported. Typical beam shaping devices are static and not easily adaptable to a large variety o ...

A power-efficient, current-mode, binary-tree min / max circuit for Kohonen self-organizing feature maps and nonlinear filters

Rafal Tomasz Dlugosz

A novel current-mode, binary-tree Min / Max circuit for application in analog neural networks and filters has been presented. In the proposed circuit input currents are first converted to step signals with equal amplitudes and different delays that are pro ...

Low power current-mode binary-tree asynchronous Min/Max circuit

Rafal Tomasz Dlugosz

A novel, current-mode, binary-tree, asynchronous Min/Max circuit for application in nonlinear filters as well as in analog artificial neural networks is proposed. The relatively high precision above 99% can be achieved by eliminating the copying of the inp ...

Shape Refinement through Explicit Heap Analysis

Grégory Théoduloz

Shape analysis is a promising technique to prove program properties about recursive data structures. The challenge is to automatically determine the data-structure type, and to supply the shape analysis with the necessary information about the data structu ...

Software Verification by Combining Program Analyses of Adjustable Precision

Grégory Théoduloz

In automatic software verification, we have observed a theoretical convergence of model checking and program analysis. In practice, however, model checkers, on one hand, are still mostly concerned with precision, e.g., the removal of spurious counterexampl ...

Building a Calculus of Data Structures

Viktor Kuncak, Philippe Paul Henri Suter, Ruzica Piskac

Techniques such as verification condition generation, predicate abstraction, and expressive type systems reduce software verification to proving formulas in expressive logics. Programs and their specifications often make use of data structures such as sets ...
