STDP in adaptive neurons gives close-to-optimal information transmission

Wulfram Gerstner, Jean-Pascal Théodor Pfister, Guillaume Hennequin

Spike-frequency adaptation is known to enhance the transmission of information in sensory spiking neurons by rescaling the dynamic range for input processing, matching it to the temporal statistics of the sensory stimulus. Achieving maximal information tra ...

Heat transport in model jammed solids

Matthieu Wyart, Ning Xu

We calculate numerically the normal modes of vibrations in three-dimensional jammed packings of soft spheres as a function of the packing fraction and obtain the energy diffusivity, a spectral measure of transport that controls sound propagation and therma ...

Wave Propagation in Auxetic Tetrachiral Honeycombs

Alessandro Spadoni

This paper describes a numerical and experimental investigation on the flexural wave propagation properties of a novel class of negative Poisson's ratio honeycombs with tetrachiral topology. Tetrachiral honeycombs are structures defined by cylinders connec ...

Learning bimodal structure in audio-visual data

Pierre Vandergheynst, Gianluca Monaci

A novel model is presented to learn bimodally informative structures from audio-visual signals. The signal is represented as a sparse sum of audio- visual kernels. Each kernel is a bimodal function consisting of synchronous snippets of an audio waveform an ...

Temperature Dependence of Normal Mode Reconstructions of Protein Dynamics

Paolo De Los Rios, Francesco Piazza

Normal mode (NM) analysis is a widely used technique for reconstructing conformational changes of proteins from the knowledge of native structures. In this Letter, we investigate to what extent NMs capture the salient features of the dynamics over a range ...

Yield Stress of Multimodal Powder Suspensions: An Extension of the YODEL (Yield Stress mODEL)

Paul Bowen

The prediction of the rheological properties of concentrated suspensions is of great importance both in industrial processes (ceramics, cements, and pharmaceutics) and natural phenomena (debris flow, soil erosion). In a previous paper, we presented a new m ...

The Overhead of Indulgent Failure Recovery

Rachid Guerraoui, Partha Dutta

Many reliable distributed systems are consensus-based and typically operate under two modes: a fast normal mode in failure-free synchronous periods, and a slower recovery mode following asynchrony and failures. A lot of work has been devoted to optimize th ...

Error Handling in Multimodal Biometric Systems using Reliability Measures

In this paper, we present a framework for predicting and correcting classification decision errors based on modality reliability measures in a multimodal biometric system. In our experiments we use face and speech experts based on a recently proposed frame ...

Normalization and correlation of cross-nested logit models

Michel Bierlaire, Emmanuel Abbé

Demand analysis is more and more critical in the transportation context. Discrete choice models methodology provide an appropriate framework to capture the behaviour of the actors of transportation systems and, consequently, to forecast the demand. Recentl ...

Chiral hexagonal cellular sandwich structure: A vibroacoutic assessment

Alessandro Spadoni

In this work we describe the vibroacoustic behavior of a novel concept of core for sandwich structures featuring auxetic characteristics, enhanced shear stiffhess and compressive strength compared to classical cellular cores in sandwich components for sand ...
