Voices from the Frontline: Revealing the AI Practitioners' viewpoint on the European AI Act

Kathrin Grosse

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in an ever larger number of industries. Alongside this development, however, abundant works argue that AI-driven systems are lacking in terms of safety, ethics and transparency. As a direct consequence, the ...

Spatial Modeling for Building Design Evaluation: from Visual Landscape Quality Assessment to Devaluation Risk Estimation

Adam Robert Swietek

Zoning reform is a crucial tool for cities to adapt to contemporary challenges. However, its implementation remains challenging. Property owners, with a vested interest in the value of their neighborhoods, are sensitive to local developments and the potent ...

Curiosity-driven exploration: foundations in neuroscience and computational modeling

Wulfram Gerstner, Alireza Modirshanechi

Curiosity refers to the intrinsic desire of humans and animals to explore the unknown, even when there is no apparent reason to do so. Thus far, no single, widely accepted definition or framework for curiosity has emerged, but there is growing consensus th ...

Framework to evaluate the value of monitoring-technique information for structural performance monitoring

Eugen Brühwiler, Numa Joy Bertola

The management of existing civil infrastructure is becoming more crucial as a large share of bridges is approaching their theoretical end of service duration. Structural performance monitoring aims to verify bridge safety at a given time, and it should be ...

The Case for Performance Interfaces for Hardware Accelerators

Jiacheng Ma, George Candea, Aikaterini Argyraki, Rishabh Ramesh Iyer

While systems designers are increasingly turning to hardware accelerators for performance gains, realizing these gains is painstaking and error-prone. It can take several person-months to determine if a given accelerator is a good fit for a given piece of ...

Measurement in the Age of Information

Marilyne Andersen, Forrest Simon Webler

Information is the resolution of uncertainty and manifests itself as patterns. Although complex, most observable phenomena are not random and instead are associated with deterministic, chaotic systems. The underlying patterns and symmetries expressed from ...

Utility/privacy trade-off as regularized optimal transport

Etienne Patrice Boursier

Strategic information is valuable either by remaining private (for instance if it is sensitive) or, on the other hand, by being used publicly to increase some utility. These two objectives are antagonistic and leaking this information by taking full advant ...

Efficient and Effective Multi-Modal Queries Through Heterogeneous Network Embedding

Karl Aberer, Quoc Viet Hung Nguyen, Thành Tâm Nguyên, Chi Thang Duong, Thanh Trung Huynh

The heterogeneity of today's Web sources requires information retrieval (IR) systems to handle multi-modal queries. Such queries define a user's information needs by different data modalities, such as keywords, hashtags, user profiles, and other media. Rec ...

Infochain: A Decentralized, Trustless and Transparent Oracle on Blockchain

Boi Faltings, Naman Goel, Aris Filos Ratsikas

Blockchain based systems allow various kinds of financial transactions to be executed in a decentralized manner. However, these systems often rely on a trusted third party (oracle) to get correct information about the real-world events, which trigger the f ...

A methodology to design measurement systems when multiple model classes are plausible

Ian Smith, Numa Joy Bertola, Sai Ganesh Sarvotham Pai

The management of existing civil infrastructure is challenging due to evolving functional requirements, aging and climate change. Civil infrastructure often has hidden reserve capacity because of conservative approaches used in design and during constructi ...

Privacy and Integrity Preserving Computations with CRISP

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Juan Ramón Troncoso-Pastoriza, Apostolos Pyrgelis, Sylvain Chatel

In the digital era, users share their personal data with service providers to obtain some utility, e.g., access to high-quality services. Yet, the induced information flows raise privacy and integrity concerns. Consequently, cautious users may want to prot ...

Imputation of missing information in worldwide patent data

Gaétan Jean A de Rassenfosse

We present a general method for imputing missing information in the Worldwide Patent Statistical Database (PATSTAT) and make the resulting datasets publicly available. The PATSTAT database is the de facto standard for academic research using patent data. C ...

Social Learning Under Inferential Attacks

Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski, Virginia Bordignon, Konstantinos Ntemos

A common assumption in the social learning literature is that agents exchange information in an unselfish manner. In this work, we consider the scenario where a subset of agents aims at driving the network beliefs to the wrong hypothesis. The adversaries a ...
