DUCT: An Upper Confidence Bound Approach to Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems

Boi Faltings, Christos Dimitrakakis, Brammert Ottens

We propose a distributed upper confidence bound approach, DUCT, for solving distributed constraint optimization problems. We compare four variants of this approach with a baseline random sampling algorithm, as well as other complete and incomplete algorith ...

Estimation Bounds for GNSS Synthetic Aperture Techniques

Pierre-André Farine, Joaquin Cabeza de Pablo, Cyril Botteron, Miguel Angel Ribot Sanfelix

This paper characterizes the estimation performance of synthetic aperture (SA) techniques in the context of moving GNSS receivers. Under the assumption of a stationary channel, SA techniques transform a single antenna into a virtual array. We first introdu ...

Reconstruction using approximate message passing methods

Paul Hurley, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni, Giovanni Cherubini, Sanaz Kazemi

The present invention is notably directed to a computer-implemented method for image reconstruction. The method comprises: accessing elements that respectively correspond to measurement values, which can be respectively mapped to measurement nodes; and per ...

Truncated Variance Reduction: A Unified Approach to Bayesian Optimization and Level-Set Estimation

Volkan Cevher, Andreas Krause, Jonathan Mark Scarlett, Ilija Bogunovic

We present a new algorithm, truncated variance reduction (TruVaR), that treats Bayesian optimization (BO) and level-set estimation (LSE) with Gaussian processes in a unified fashion. The algorithm greedily shrinks a sum of truncated variances within a set ...

Analyzing time sensitivity in the Paris subway: an interval data model approach

Matthieu Marie Cochon de Lapparent

We analyze individual travel discomfort-time tradeoffs in the Paris subway using stated choice experiments. The survey design allows to set up in a willingness-to-pay space to estimate the distributions of elasticities of values of travel time to crowd den ...

Model-free computation of ultra-short-term prediction intervals of solar irradiance

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Mario Paolone, Dimitri Torregrossa

We propose an ultra-short-term dynamic interval predictor (DIP) of solar irradiance. Our DIP relies on experimentally observed correlations between the derivative of the solar irradiance and the forecast error in the next time-step. The main originalities ...

3D-modeling of vegetation from LiDAR point clouds and assessment of its impact on façade solar irradiation

Marilyne Andersen, Giuseppe Peronato

The presence of vegetation can significantly affect the solar irradiation received on building surfaces. Due to the complex shape and seasonal variability of vegetation geometry, this topic has gained much attention from researchers. However, existing meth ...

How to Benchmark Objective Quality Metrics from Paired Comparison Data?

Touradj Ebrahimi, Philippe Hanhart

The procedures commonly used to evaluate the performance of objective quality metrics rely on ground truth mean opinion scores and associated confidence intervals, which are usually obtained via direct scaling methods. However, indirect scaling methods, su ...
