Influence of density of large stems on the blocking probability at spillways

Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos, Paloma Furlan

Dam safety is strongly linked to the probability of occurrence of large floods. Floods can transport large wood (LW) into reservoirs and towards water release structures as spillways. Due to blocking and clogging, LW may significantly influence the dischar ...

Efficient Learning from Comparisons

Lucas Maystre

Humans are comparison machines: comparing and choosing an item among a set of alternatives (such as objects or concepts) is arguably one of the most natural ways for us to express our preferences and opinions. In many applications, the analysis of data con ...

Population density and water balance influence the global occurrence of hepatitis E epidemics

Stéphane Joost, Anna Carratala Ripolles

In developing countries, the waterborne transmission of hepatitis E virus (HEV), particularly the genotypes 1 and 2, leads to the onset of large recurrent outbreaks. In order to identify the geographical regions at higher risk of HEV epidemics and the cond ...

Stable high-order randomized cubature formulae in arbitrary dimension

Fabio Nobile, Giovanni Migliorati

We propose and analyse randomized cubature formulae for the numerical integration of functions with respect to a given probability measure μ defined on a domain Γ⊆ℝ^d, in any dimension d. Each cubature formula is conceived to be exact on a given finite dim ...

The stochastic heat equation: hitting probabilities and the probability density function of the supremum via Malliavin calculus

Fei Pu

In this thesis, we study systems of linear and/or non-linear stochastic heat equations and fractional heat equations in spatial dimension

Dimension-free Information Concentration via Exp-Concavity

Volkan Cevher, Ya-Ping Hsieh

Information concentration of probability measures have important implications in learning theory. Recently, it is discovered that the information content of a log-concave distribution concentrates around their differential entropy, albeit with an unpleasan ...

Comparing methodologies for structural identification and fatigue life prediction of a highway bridge

Ian Smith, Alain Nussbaumer, Sai Ganesh Sarvotham Pai

Accurate measurement-data interpretation leads to increased understanding of structural behavior and enhanced asset-management decision making. In this paper, four data-interpretation methodologies, residual minimization, traditional Bayesian model updatin ...

MATHICSE Technical Report : Random time step probabilistic methods for uncertainty quantification in chaotic and geometric numerical integration

Assyr Abdulle, Giacomo Garegnani

A novel probabilistic numerical method for quantifying the uncertainty induced by the time integration of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is introduced. Departing from the classical strategy to randomize ODE solvers by adding a random forcing term, ...

Catchment drainage network scaling laws found experimentally in overland flow morphologies

David Andrew Barry, Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Perona, Mohsen Cheraghi

The scaling relation between the drainage area and stream length (Hack’s law), along with exceedance probabilities of drainage area, discharge and upstream flow network length are well known for channelized fluvial regions. We report here on a laboratory e ...

Ocular Structures Segmentation from Multi-sequences MRI Using 3D Unet with Fully Connected CRFs

Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Raphael Sznitman, Alessia Pica

The use of 3D Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has attracted growing attention for the purpose of diagnosis and treatment planning of intraocular ocular cancers. Precise segmentation of such tumors are highly important to characterize tumors, their progres ...
