Piscataway2024Curiosity-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 ...
Cambridge2023Safe multi-agent deep reinforcement learning for joint bidding and maintenance scheduling of generation units
This paper proposes a safe reinforcement learning algorithm for generation bidding decisions and unit maintenance scheduling in a competitive electricity market environment. In this problem, each unit aims to find a bidding strategy that maximizes its reve ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2023Utility/privacy trade-off as regularized optimal transport
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 ...
SPRINGER HEIDELBERG2022Knowledge-Aware Cross-Modal Text-Image Retrieval for Remote Sensing Images
Devis Tuia, Christel Marie Tartini-Chappuis, Li Mi, Siran Li
Image-based retrieval in large Earth observation archives is difficult, because one needs to navigate across thousands of candidate matches only with the proposition image as a guide. By using text as a query language, the retrieval system gains in usabili ...
2022The Role of Adaptivity in Source Identification with Time Queries
Understanding epidemic propagation in large networks is an important but challenging task, especially since we usually lack information, and the information that we have is often counter-intuitive. An illustrative example is the dependence of the final siz ...
EPFL2022A blockchain and IoT-based lightweight framework for enabling information transparency in supply chain finance

ELSEVIER2021Endogenous Energy Efficiency Improvement
Philippe Thalmann, Marc Vielle, Sergey Arzoyan
We managed to construct two novel and functional methodologies to depict the evolution of energy efficiency improvements (EEI) in two Swiss sectors, housing and cement. This allowed us to obtain a better representation of EEI triggered by energy and climat ...
