Regularization for distributionally robust state estimation and prediction

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate, Florian Dörfler, Jean-Sébastien Hubert Brouillon

The increasing availability of sensing techniques provides a great opportunity for engineers to design state estimation methods, which are optimal for the system under observation and the observed noise patterns. However, these patterns often do not fulfil ...

Computational Analysis and Design of Structurally Stable Assemblies with Rigid Parts

An assembly refers to a collection of parts joined together to achieve a specific form and/or functionality. Assemblies make it possible to fabricate large and complex objects with several small and simple parts. Such parts can be assembled and disassemble ...

Bootstrapping superconformal field theories in four dimensions

Andrea Manenti

The conformal bootstrap is a non-perturbative technique designed to study conformal field theories using only first principles, such as unitarity, crossing symmetry and the existence of an Operator Product Expansion. In this thesis we discuss an applicatio ...

Disentangling turbulence in the plasma boundary of diverted tokamaks

Carrie Fiona Beadle

A non-field aligned coordinate system was recently implemented in GBS, a three-dimensional drift-reduced Braginskii fluid code to simulate turbulence in the plasma periphery of tokamaks. This avoids the singularity present in field-aligned coordinates at t ...

Gravity as a Reference for Estimating a Person's Height from Video

Pascal Fua, Helge Jochen Rhodin, Semih Günel, Didier Bieler

Estimating the metric height of a person from monocular imagery without additional assumptions is ill-posed. Existing solutions either require manual calibration of ground plane and camera geometry, special cameras, or reference objects of known size. We f ...

Towards the renormalization group flow of Horava gravity in 3+1 dimensions

Sergey Sibiryakov, Mario Herrero Valea

We compute the renormalization group running of the Newton constant and the parameter lambda in (3 + 1)-dimensional projectable Horava gravity. We use the background-field method, expanding around configurations with flat spatial metric, but nonvanishing s ...

Studying Summarization Evaluation Metrics in the Appropriate Scoring Range

Maxime Jean Julien Peyrard

In summarization, automatic evaluation metrics are usually compared based on their ability to correlate with human judgments. Unfortunately, the few existing human judgment datasets have been created as by-products of the manual evaluations performed durin ...

Vestibular modulation of peripersonal space boundaries

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Jean-Paul Noel, Christian Pfeiffer

Human-environment interactions are mediated through the body and occur within the peripersonal space (PPS), the space immediately adjacent to and surrounding the body. The PPS is taken to be a critical interface between the body and the environment, and in ...

Convex Optimization using Sparsified Stochastic Gradient Descent with Memory

Jean-Baptiste Francis Marie Juliette Cordonnier

The interest for distributed stochastic optimization has raised to train complex Machine Learning models with more data on distributed systems. Increasing the computation power speeds up the training but it faces a communication bottleneck between workers ...

Effect of damping models on the simulation of seismic axial forces in a reinforced concrete bridge pier

Katrin Beyer, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida, Manuel Jordan

Post-reconnaissance findings after recent earthquakes have shown that the effect of the vertical acceleration component of the ground motion can be more damaging than typically considered thus far, particularly in near-field regions where the ratio of vert ...
