Lower Bounds on Regret for Noisy Gaussian Process Bandit Optimization

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett, Ilija Bogunovic

In this paper, we consider the problem of sequentially optimizing a black-box function

f

based on noisy samples and bandit feedback. We assume that

f

is smooth in the sense of having a bounded norm in some reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS), yield ...

Temperature-strain discrimination in distributed optical fiber sensing using phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Xin Lu

A method based on coherent Rayleigh scattering distinctly evaluating temperature and strain is proposed and experimentally demonstrated for distributed optical fiber sensing. Combining conventional phase-sensitive optical time-domain domain reflectometry ( ...

Fluorescence lifetime imaging using a single photon avalanche diode array sensor

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Ivan Michel Antolovic, Samuel Burri

Single photon detectors allows us work with the weakest fluorescence signals. Single photon arrays, combined with ps-controlled gating allow us to create image maps of fluorescence lifetimes, which can be used for in-vivo discrimination of tissue activity. ...

Coexistence of Drift Waves and D'Angelo Modes at Different Position and Frequency in Linear Plasma Device

Minh Quang Tran, Nathan Dupertuis

Experimental plasma discharges in linear PANTA device are studied by Mach probe measurements, providing floating potential, ion saturation current, and parallel flow velocity time evolution, at different radii of the device. Spectral analysis indicates tha ...

Phase Transitions in Group Testing

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett

The group testing problem consists of determining a sparse subset of a set of items that are ``defective'' based on a set of possibly noisy tests, and arises in areas such as medical testing, fault detection, communication protocols, pattern matching, and ...

Quelles politiques pour atténuer l’exclusion sociale des ménages non motorisés ? L’apport des méthodes mixtes

Vincent Kaufmann, Dominic Villeneuve

Les villes occidentales sont développées autour de la mobilité automobile pouvant amener une forme de dépendance automobile. Dans une telle société, le fait de ne pas posséder de voiture peut même être lié à une forme d’exclusion sociale. Nous nous intéres ...

Comment inclure les instruments des politiques publiques de mobilité dans la mesure de la dépendance automobile ?

Dominic Villeneuve

Depuis la démocratisation de l’automobile, les villes occidentales sont développées autour des accessibilités automobiles, ce qui a entraîné la dépendance automobile. Dans une telle société, le fait de ne pas posséder de voiture peut mener à une forme d’ex ...

Is there a common cause for perceptual decline in the aging brain?

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke

Even in the absence of neurodegenerative disease, aging strongly affects vision. Whereas optical deficits are well documented, much less is known perceptual deficits. In most perceptual studies, one paradigm is tested and it is usually found that older par ...
