Learning Hawkes Processes Under Synchronization Noise

Patrick Thiran, Matthias Grossglauser, Seyed Jalal Etesami, William Trouleau, Negar Kiyavash

Multivariate Hawkes processes (MHP) are widely used in a variety of fields to model the occurrence of discrete events. Prior work on learning MHPs has only focused on inference in the presence of perfect traces without noise. We address the problem of lear ...

Learning Hawkes Processes from a Handful of Events

Patrick Thiran, Matthias Grossglauser, William Trouleau, Farnood Salehi

Learning the causal-interaction network of multivariate Hawkes processes is a useful task in many applications. Maximum-likelihood estimation is the most common approach to solve the problem in the presence of long observation sequences. However, when only ...

A General Framework for Sensor Placement in Source Localization

Patrick Thiran, Brunella Marta Spinelli, Laura Elisa Celis

When an epidemic spreads in a given network of individuals or communities, can we detect its source using only the information provided by a small set of nodes? We propose a general framework that incorporates two dimensions. First, we can either rely excl ...

A User Study of Perceived Carbon Footprint

Patrick Thiran, Matthias Grossglauser, Lucas Maystre, Victor Kristof, Valentin Quelquejay-Leclère, Robin Adrien Zbinden

We propose a statistical model to understand people's perception of their carbon footprint. Driven by the observation that few people think of CO2 impact in absolute terms, we design a system to probe people's perception from simple pairwise comparisons of ...

On the Delays in Time-Varying Networks: Does Larger Service-Rate Variance Imply Larger Delays?

Patrick Thiran, Sébastien Christophe Henri

In all networks, link or route capacities fluctuate for multiple reasons, e.g., fading and multi-path effects on wireless channels, interference and contending users on a shared medium, varying loads in WAN routers, impedance changes on power-line channels ...

Multi-Armed Bandit in Action: Optimizing Performance in Dynamic Hybrid Networks

Patrick Thiran, Christina Vlachou, Sébastien Christophe Henri

Today's home networks are often composed of several technologies such as Wi-Fi or power-line communication (PLC). Yet, current network protocols rarely fully harness this diversity and use each technology for a specific, pre-defined role, for example, wire ...

Optimal Number of Paths with Multipath Routing in Hybrid Networks

Patrick Thiran, Sébastien Christophe Henri

In recent years, multipath routing, i.e., employing several paths simultaneously, has emerged as an efficient way to provide significant throughput gains in local networks. This has been observed both with technologies that are not subject to interference, ...

Coordinate Descent with Bandit Sampling

Patrick Thiran, Farnood Salehi, Laura Elisa Celis

Coordinate descent methods usually minimize a cost function by updating a random decision variable (corresponding to one coordinate) at a time. Ideally, we would update the decision variable that yields the largest decrease in the cost function. However, f ...

Back to the Source: an Online Approach for Sensor Placement and Source Localization

Patrick Thiran, Brunella Marta Spinelli, Laura Elisa Celis

Source localization, the act of finding the originator of a disease or rumor in a network, has become an important problem in sociology and epidemiology. The localization is done using the infection state and time of infection of a few designated sensor no ...

Csma/ca in time and frequency domains

Patrick Thiran, Julien Pierre Sacha Herzen

The present invention concerns a method for a communication device to transmit a data packet in a wireless communication system. The method comprises: determining (21) a first set of transmission parameters comprising a first central transmission frequency ...

How CSMA/CA With Deferral Affects Performance and Dynamics in Power-Line Communications

Patrick Thiran, Julien Pierre Sacha Herzen, Christina Vlachou

Power-line communications (PLC) are becoming a key component in home networking, because they provide easy and high-throughput connectivity. The dominant MAC protocol for high data-rate PLC, the IEEE 1901, employs a CSMA/CA mechanism similar to the backoff ...

EMPoWER Hybrid Networks: Exploiting Multiple Paths over Wireless and ElectRical Mediums

Patrick Thiran, Julien Pierre Sacha Herzen, Christina Vlachou, Sébastien Christophe Henri

Several technologies, such as WiFi, Ethernet and power-line communications (PLC), can be used to build residential and enterprise networks. These technologies often co-exist; most networks use WiFi, and buildings are readily equipped with electrical wires ...

Observer Placement for Source Localization: the Effect of Budgets and Transmission Variance

Patrick Thiran, Brunella Marta Spinelli, Laura Elisa Celis

When an epidemic spreads in a network, a key question is where was its source, i.e., the node that started the epidemic. If we know the time at which various nodes were infected, we can attempt to use this information in order to identify the source. Howev ...

Online Collaborative Prediction of Regional Vote Results

Patrick Thiran, Matthias Grossglauser, Vincent Etter, Mohammad Emtiyaz Khan

We consider online predictions of vote results, where regions across a country vote on an issue under discussion. Such online predictions before and during the day of the vote are useful to media agencies, polling institutes, and political parties, e.g., t ...

Analysis and Enhancement of CSMA/CA With Deferral in Power-Line Communications

Patrick Thiran, Julien Pierre Sacha Herzen, Christina Vlachou

Power-line communications are employed in home networking to provide easy and high-throughput connectivity. The IEEE 1901, the MAC protocol for power-line networks, employs a CSMA/CA protocol similar to that of 802.11, but is substantially more complex, wh ...

Uncovering Latent Behaviors in Ant Colonies

Patrick Thiran, Laurent Keller, Matthias Grossglauser, Mohamed Kafsi, Raphaël Braunschweig

Many biological systems exhibit collective behaviors that strengthen their adaptability to their environment, compared to more solitary species. Describing these behaviors is challenging yet necessary in order to understand these biological systems. We pro ...

Budgeted sensor placement for source localization on trees

Patrick Thiran, Brunella Marta Spinelli, Laura Elisa Celis

We address the problem of choosing a fixed number of sensor vertices in a graph in order to detect the source of a partially-observed diffusion process on the graph itself. Building on the definition of double resolvability we introduce a notion of vertex ...

Electri-Fi Your Data: Measuring and Combining Power-Line Communications with WiFi

Patrick Thiran, Christina Vlachou, Sébastien Christophe Henri

Power-line communication (PLC) is widely used as it offers high data-rates and forms a network over electrical wiring, an existing and ubiquitous infrastructure. PLC is increasingly being deployed in hybrid networks that combine multiple technologies, the ...
