Seeking the new, learning from the unexpected: Computational models of surprise and novelty in the brain
Human babies have a natural desire to interact with new toys and objects, through which they learn how the world around them works, e.g., that glass shatters when dropped, but a rubber ball does not. When their predictions are proven incorrect, such as whe ...
EPFL2024Arterial pulse wave modeling and analysis for vascular-age studies: a review from VascAgeNet
Vasiliki Bikia, Patrick Segers
Arterial pulse waves (PWs) such as blood pressure and photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals contain a wealth of information on the cardiovascular (CV) system that can be exploited to assess vascular age and identify individuals at elevated CV risk. We review th ...
AMER PHYSIOLOGICAL SOC2023Supporting Teachers' Orchestration in Robot-mediated Classrooms
To bring educational robots to classrooms, we need to consider teachers' self-efficacy and challenges in managing a robot-mediated classroom, and how to support them in overcoming these challenges. Orchestration tools are designed to support teachers by pr ...
EPFL2023A taxonomy of surprise definitions
Wulfram Gerstner, Johanni Michael Brea, Alireza Modirshanechi
Surprising events trigger measurable brain activity and influence human behavior by affecting learning, memory, and decision-making. Currently there is, however, no consensus on the definition of surprise. Here we identify 18 mathematical definitions of su ...
2022Stable Layered 2D Perovskite Solar Cells with an Efficiency of over 19% via Multifunctional Interfacial Engineering
Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Dongqin Bi
Layered 2D perovskites have been extensively investigated by scientists with photovoltaics (PV) expertise due to their good environmental stability. However, a random phase distribution in the perovskite film could affect both the performance and stability ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2021Asymptotics of Cheeger constants and unitarisability of groups
Nicolas Monod, Maria Gerasimova
Given a group Gamma, we establish a connection between the unitarisability of its uniformly bounded representations and the asymptotic behaviour of the isoperimetric constants of Cayley graphs of Gamma for increasingly large generating sets. The connection ...
ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE2020Parallel integro-differential equation solving via multi-channel reciprocal bianisotropic metasurface augmented by normal susceptibilities
Analog optical signal processing has dramatically transcended the speed and energy limitations accompanied with its digital microelectronic counterparts. Motivated by recent metasurface?s evolution, the angular scattering diversity of a reciprocal passive ...
IOP PUBLISHING LTD2019Ethics in Research
Science is in revolution. The formidable scientific and technological developments of the last century have dramatically transformed the way in which we conduct scientific research. The knowledge and applications that science produces has profound conseque ...
2019Kazhdan's Property (T) and Property (FH) for measured groupoids
Introduced 50 years ago by David Kazhdan, Kazhdan's Property (T) has quickly become an active research area in mathematics, with a lot of important results. A few years later, this property has been generalized to discrete group actions by Robert J. Zimmer ...
EPFL2018Geometry-aware Deep Network for Single-Image Novel View Synthesis
This paper tackles the problem of novel view synthesis from a single image. In particular, we target real-world scenes with rich geometric structure, a challenging task due to the large appearance variations of such scenes and the lack of simple 3D models ...
