Detecting Road Obstacles by Erasing Them

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Krzysztof Maciej Lis, Sina Honari

Vehicles can encounter a myriad of obstacles on the road, and it is impossible to record them all beforehand to train a detector. Instead, we select image patches and inpaint them with the surrounding road texture, which tends to remove obstacles from thos ...

Self-Supervised Learning for Patient Stratification and Survival Analysis in Computational Pathology: An Application to Colorectal Cancer

Christian Robert Abbet

Over the years, clinical institutes accumulated large amounts of digital slides from resected tissue specimens. These digital images, called whole slide images (WSIs), are high-resolution tissue snapshots that depict the complex interaction of cells at the ...

The rationales that underlie modal practices

Vincent Kaufmann

Encouraging a modal shift from individual transportation to less polluting modes such as public transport, walking and cycling, is now a key recommendation of the UN to reach the goals set by the Paris Agreement. Achieving this ambitious goal requires a de ...

Strengthening of Steel Connections in a 92-Year-Old Railway Bridge Using Prestressed CFRP Rods: Multiaxial Fatigue Design Criterion

Alain Nussbaumer, Masoud Motavalli, Elyas Ghafoori, Hossein Heydarinouri

This paper presented a new retrofit system for strengthening the stringer-to-floor-beam double-angle connections in a 92-year-old riveted railway bridge in Switzerland, using prestressed carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) rods. The strengthening system ...

Railway timetable rescheduling with capacity constraint

Benoit Pahud

The increasing demand for travelling forces railway operators to use their network at maximum capacity. When unforeseen events occur, the time needed to make the proper adjustments before reaching a gridlocked state is too short. The timetable rescheduling ...

Renewal of a fixed railway track using UHPFRC - first use worldwide of UHPFRC in rail track construction, part 1

Antonina Hochuli

This two-part article reports on the renewal and adaptation of the fixed railway track in the heavily frequented underground train station at Zurich Airport. The fixed track built in 1980 had reached the service duration predicted by the system provider an ...

Federated Generative Privacy

Boi Faltings, Aleksei Triastcyn

We propose FedGP, a framework for privacy-preserving data release in the federated learning setting. We use generative adversarial networks, generator components of which are trained by FedAvg algorithm, to draw private artificial data samples and empirica ...

DISK: learning local features with policy gradient

Pascal Fua, Eduard Trulls Fortuny, Michal Jan Tyszkiewicz

Local feature frameworks are difficult to learn in an end-to-end fashion, due to the discreteness inherent to the selection and matching of sparse keypoints. We introduce DISK (DIScrete Keypoints), a novel method that overcomes these obstacles by leveragin ...

Identification of Train Wheel Flat Accounting for Measurement and Modeling Uncertainties

Ian Smith, Numa Joy Bertola

In railway systems, wear-induced wheel flats (out-of-roundness wheel shape) are among the most common local surface defects. They reduce the train ride comfort, increase fatigue risk and raise safety concerns. A good knowledge of wheel flats (presence and ...
