Random matrix methods for high-dimensional machine learning models
In the rapidly evolving landscape of machine learning research, neural networks stand out with their ever-expanding number of parameters and reliance on increasingly large datasets. The financial cost and computational resources required for the training p ...
EPFL2024Questioning obsolescence: When does a dwelling reach the end of its life?
Buildings are demolished when they are considered obsolete, in other words, when they have reached the end of their lifespan. Demolition leads to waste; in Europe, construction and demolition waste accounts for approximately 25-30% of the total waste gener ...
2023Laterally unconfined neutral or negative buoyancy inflow into a quiescent ambient over sloping bottom
This work studies the nearshore hydrodynamics of a shallow turbulent flow entering a laterally unconfined quiescent ambient with a sloping bottom boundary. Examples of such flow are neutrally buoyant ebb tidal jets and hyperpycnal river plumes entering ope ...
EPFL2023Arrest Mechanisms of Buoyant Hydraulic Fractures
Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Andreas Möri, Carlo Peruzzo, Dmitriy Garagash
Hydraulic fracturing (HF) treatments can form widespread fractures. Understanding their containment at depth is critical, given the positive buoyancy contrast between the fracturing fluid and the surrounding rock, promoting upward growth. We study arrest m ...

Situé à Genève, dans le quartier des Pâquis, un immeuble de logement est détourné de son programme initial pour devenir la Maison des Femmes. Du privé au public, du domestique au collectif, l’immeuble habité comme une maison devient un lieu d’accueil, de r ...
2022Bias at a Second Glance: A Deep Dive into Bias for German Educational Peer-Review Data Modeling
Vinitra Swamy, Thiemo Wambsganss
Natural Language Processing (NLP) has become increasingly utilized to provide adaptivity in educational applications. However, recent research has highlighted a variety of biases in pre-trained language models. While existing studies investigate bias in di ...
2022Sources of Primary Electricity Supply
Michael Lehning, Annelen Kahl, Aleksandra Kim
This synthesis report provides an overview of primary electricity supply sources, including power generation potentials and costs as well as the as- sociated environmental burdens of electricity pro- duction in Switzerland. It gives a synthesis of the main ...
ETH Zurich2022Cooperative Multi-Robot Systems for Aquatic Environmental Sensing
Bringing advantages of parallelism and robustness, distributed robotic systems have become an active subject of research since many years. Yet, the progress in that direction with Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) has been limited. This project aims at ...
EPFL2021A new mechanism for filament disconnection at the X-point: poloidal shear in radial E × B velocity
Federico Nespoli, Davide Galassi
Plasma filaments generated by turbulence in the scrape-off layer are sometimes observed in experi- ments and simulations to disconnect from the target plate in the vicinity of the X-point, resulting in a “quiescent zone” with reduced fluctuations, possibly ...
2020Continuously-fed density currents over impermeable and porous substrates
Gravity currents are buoyancy-driven flows having a significant impact on the environment and human life. They can be observed in a vast range of natural and anthropogenic scenarios, such as seawater and freshwater, the atmosphere, or industrial processes. ...
