Multivariate extremes over a random number of observations

The classical multivariate extreme-value theory concerns the modeling of extremes in a multivariate random sample, suggesting the use of max-stable distributions. In this work, the classical theory is extended to the case where aggregated data, such as max ...

Liouville Measure As A Multiplicative Cascade Via Level Sets Of The Gaussian Free Field

Juhan Aru

We provide new constructions of the subcritical and critical Gaussian multiplicative chaos (GMC) measures corresponding to the 2D Gaussian free field (GFF). As a special case we recover E. Aidekon's construction of random measures using nested conformally ...

Quantifying uncertain system outputs via the multilevel Monte Carlo method — Part I: Central moment estimation

Fabio Nobile, Sebastian Krumscheid, Michele Pisaroni

In this work we introduce and analyze a novel multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) estimator for the accurate approximation of central moments of system outputs affected by uncertainties. Central moments play a central role in many disciplines to characterize a r ...

Collaborative Sampling in Generative Adversarial Networks

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Yuejiang Liu, Parth Ashit Kothari

The standard practice in Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) discards the discriminator during sampling. However, this sampling method loses valuable information learned by the discriminator regarding the data distribution. In this work, we propose a co ...

USBFuzz: A Framework for Fuzzing USB Drivers by Device Emulation

Mathias Josef Payer, Hui Peng

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) connects external devices to a host. This interface exposes the OS kernels and device drivers to attacks by malicious devices. Unfortunately, kernels and drivers were developed under a security model that implicitly trusts co ...

A Multi-Step Reconfiguration Model for Active Distribution Network Restoration Integrating DG Start-Up Sequences

Hossein Sekhavatmanesh

The ever-increasing penetration of Distributed Generators (DGs) in distribution networks suggests to enable their potentials in better fulfilling the restoration objective. The objective of the restoration problem is to resupply the maximum energy of loads ...

Do chance encounters between heterogeneous cells shape the outcome of tuberculosis infections?

John McKinney, Ophélie Rutschmann, Chiara Toniolo

The sum of all of the interactions between single bacteria and host cells determines if an infection is cleared, controlled, or progresses at the whole host-organism level. These individual interactions have independent trajectories defined by diverse and ...

Low frequency sound field reconstruction in a non-rectangular room using a small number of microphones

Hervé Lissek, Vu Thach Pham

An accurate knowledge of the sound field distribution inside a room is required to identify and optimally locate corrective measures for room acoustics. However, the spatial recovery of the sound field would result in an impractically high number of microp ...

Learning How to Smile: Expression Video Generation With Conditional Adversarial Recurrent Nets

Wei Wang

While several research studies have focused on analyzing human behavior and, in particular, emotional signals from visual data, the problem of synthesizing face video sequences with specific attributes (e.g. age, facial expressions) received much less atte ...

The n-term Approximation of Periodic Generalized Levy Processes

Michaël Unser, Julien René Pierre Fageot, John Paul Ward

In this paper, we study the compressibility of random processes and fields, called generalized Levy processes, that are solutions of stochastic differential equations driven by d-dimensional periodic Levy white noises. Our results are based on the estimati ...
