Bilinear models of count data with Poisson distribution are popular in applications such as matrix factorization for recommendation systems, modeling of receptive fields of sensory neurons, and modeling of neural-spike trains. Bayesian inference in such mo ...
This review discusses some issues related to the use of simulation in transportation analysis. Potential pitfalls are identified and discussed. An overview of some methods relevant to the use of an advanced simulation tool in an optimization context is als ...
The project consisted of two goals: to design and fabricate SAW sensors on lithium niobate chips with the best resolution photolithography in CMi and to study as many different devices as possible during the first fabrication runs to find the best layouts ...
It has been said that all problems in computer science can be solved by adding another level of indirection, except for performance problems, which are solved by removing levels of indirection. Compilers are our tools for removing levels of indirection aut ...
We consider Gaussian diamond networks with n half-duplex relays. At any point of time, a relay can either be in a listening (L) or transmitting (T) state. The capacity of such networks can be approximated to within a constant gap (independent of channel SN ...
Scientists in many disciplines have progressively been using simulations to better understand the natural systems they study. Faster hardware, as well as
increasingly precise instruments, allow the construction and simulation of progressively advanced mod ...
Real-time optimization (RTO) methods use measurements to offset the effect of uncertainty and drive the plant to optimality. RTO schemes differ in the way measurements are incorporated in the optimization framework. Explicit RTO schemes solve a static opti ...
The potential effects of high-performance fiber-reinforced polymer thermal breaks for balcony connections on the thermal losses and heating needs of a typical residential building in Switzerland were investigated. In an optimized form, these new thermal br ...
This paper introduces a method to simultaneously optimize design and control parameters for legged robots to improve the performance of locomotion based tasks. The morphology of a quadrupedal robot was optimized for a trotting and bounding gait to achieve ...
This paper considers the path following of unmanned helicopters based on dynamic optimization. We assume that the helicopter is equipped with a flight control system which provides an approximation of its closed-loop dynamics. The task at hand is to derive ...
