RG-Flow: a hierarchical and explainable flow model based on renormalization group and sparse prior

Dian Wu

Flow-based generative models have become an important class of unsupervised learning approaches. In this work, we incorporate the key ideas of renormalization group (RG) and sparse prior distribution to design a hierarchical flow-based generative model, RG ...

Biological fluid dynamics of airborne COVID-19 infection

Andrea Rinaldo

We review the state of knowledge on the bio-fluid dynamic mechanisms involved in the transmission of the infection from SARS-CoV-2. The relevance of the subject stems from the key role of airborne virus transmission by viral particles released by an infect ...

Good Vibrations and Unknown Excitations

Dalia Salem Hassan Fahmy El Badawy

Inspired by the human ability to localize sounds, even with only one ear, as well as to recognize objects using active echolocation, we investigate the role of sound scattering and prior knowledge in regularizing ill-posed inverse problems in acoustics. In ...

Joint Localization and Classification of Multiple Sound Sources Using a Multi-task Neural Network

Jean-Marc Odobez, Petr Motlicek, Weipeng He

We propose a novel multi-task neural network-based approach for joint sound source localization and speech/non-speech classification in noisy environments. The network takes raw short time Fourier transform as input and outputs the likelihood values for th ...

Effect of cement substitution by limestone on the hydration and microstructural development of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC)

Karen Scrivener, Mohammadhadi Kazemi Kamyab, Wei Sun, Wei Huang

The effect of limestone on the hydration and microstructural development of ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) with different levels of replacement (34%, 54% and 74% by volume) was investigated. Up to 54% replacement of cement by limestone the mixes sh ...

Localization of Sound Sources in a Room with One Microphone

Pierre Vandergheynst, Hervé Lissek, Helena Peic Tukuljac

Estimation of the location of sound sources is usually done using microphone arrays. Such settings provide an environment where we know the difference between the received signals among different microphones in the terms of phase or attenuation, which enab ...

Singularity-tolerant inverse kinematics for bipedal robots: An efficient use of computational power to reduce energy consumption

Auke Ijspeert, Salman Faraji

We propose a nonlinear inverse kinematics formulation which solves for positions directly. Compared to various other popular methods that integrate velocities, this formulation can better handle fast, asymmetric and singular-postured balancing tasks for hu ...

Alpine glacier-fed turbid lakes are discontinuous cold polymictic rather than dimictic

Hannes Markus Peter

Glacier retreat as a consequence of climate change influences freshwater ecosystems in manifold ways, yet the physical and chemical bases of these effects are poorly studied. Here, we characterize how water temperature differs between alpine lakes with and ...

On the integration of Non-Image-Forming effects of light on venetian blinds and electric lighting control

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Laurent Deschamps, Ali Motamed, Marta Benedetti

Light induces important “Non-Image-Forming” (NIF) effects on human physiology and behavior, such as improvement of alertness, cognitive performance and mood. Considering these effects in office lighting can improve well-being and productivity of the occupa ...

Computational Methods For Structured Sparse Component Analysis of Convolutive Speech Mixtures

Hervé Bourlard, Volkan Cevher, Afsaneh Asaei

We cast the under-determined convolutive speech separation as sparse approximation of the spatial spectra of the mixing sources. In this framework we compare and contrast the major practical algorithms for structured sparse recovery of speech signal. Speci ...

Effect of mixing on the early hydration of alite and OPC systems

Karen Scrivener, Emmanuel Gallucci, Aditya Kumar, Patrick Juilland

The kinetics of hydration of cementitious materials is sensitive to the mixing procedure. High shear mixing conditions lead to an increase in the kinetics of hydration at early age compared to low shearing conditions such as hand mixing. In this study the ...
