Energy-based comparison between the Fourier-Galerkin method and the finite element method

The Fourier-Galerkin method (in short FFTH) has gained popularity in numerical homogenisation because it can treat problems with a huge number of degrees of freedom. Because the method incorporates the fast Fourier transform (FFT) in the linear solver, it ...

Causal Consistency and Latency Optimality: Friend or Foe? [Extended Version]

Rachid Guerraoui, Willy Zwaenepoel, Diego Didona, Junxiong Wang

Causal consistency is an attractive consistency model for geo-replicated data stores. It is provably the strongest model that tolerates network partitions. It avoids the long latencies associated with strong consistency, and, especially when using read-onl ...

Learning Control Over Emotion Networks Through Connectivity-Based Neurofeedback

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Djalel Eddine Meskaldji, Frank Scharnowski, Yury Koush, Gwladys Rey

Most mental functions are associated with dynamic interactions within functional brain networks. Thus, training individuals to alter functional brain networks might provide novel and powerful means to improve cognitive performance and emotions. Using a nov ...

Optimistic Causal Consistency for Geo-Replicated Key-Value Stores

Willy Zwaenepoel, Diego Didona, Kristina Spirovska

Causal consistency is an attractive consistency model for geo-replicated data stores because it hits a sweet spot in the ease of programmability vs performance trade-off. In this paper we propose a new approach to causal consistency, which we call Optimist ...

Lasting Impact of Regret and Gratification on Resting Brain Activity and Its Relation to Depressive Traits

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville

Obtaining lower gains than rejected alternatives during decision making evokes feelings of regret, whereas higher gains elicit gratification. Although decision-related emotions produce lingering effects on mental state, neuroscience research has generally ...

Asymmetric facial expressions: revealing richer emotions for embodied conversational agents

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic, Stéphane Gobron, Junghyun Ahn

In this paper, we propose a method to achieve effective facial emotional expressivity for embodied conversational agents by considering two types of asymmetry when exploiting the Valence-Arousal-Dominance representation of emotions. Indeed, the asymmetry o ...
