Less Conservatism, Stronger Robustness: Iterative Robust Gain-Scheduled Path Following Control of Autonomous Bus With Unstructured and Changing Dynamics

Path-following control is a critical technology for autonomous vehicles. However, time-varying parameters, parametric uncertainties, external disturbances, and complicated environments significantly challenge autonomous driving. We propose an iterative rob ...

Counting People by Estimating People Flows

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Weizhe Liu

Modern methods for counting people in crowded scenes rely on deep networks to estimate people densities in individual images. As such, only very few take advantage of temporal consistency in video sequences, and those that do only impose weak smoothness co ...

Self-supervised Pre-training Enhances Change Detection in Sentinel-2 Imagery

Devis Tuia, Diego Marcos Gonzalez

While annotated images for change detection using satellite imagery are scarce and costly to obtain, there is a wealth of unlabeled images being generated every day. In order to leverage these data to learn an image representation more adequate for change ...

Efficient Protocols for Enforcing Causal Consistency in Geo-Replicated Key-Value Data Stores

Kristina Spirovska

Modern large-scale data platforms manage colossal amount of data, generated by the ever-increasing number of concurrent users. Geo-replicated and sharded key-value data stores play a central role when building such platforms. As the strongest consistency m ...

Two-dimensional O(n) models and logarithmic CFTs

Victor Gorbenko, Bernardo Zan

We study O(n)-symmetric two-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) for a continuous range of n below two. These CFTs describe the fixed point behavior of self-avoiding loops. There is a pair of known fixed points connected by an RG flow. When n is equ ...

COSMOGRAIL XVIII. time delays of the quadruply lensed quasar WFI2033-4723

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Sun Hee Kim, Hung-Hsu Chan, Malte Tewes, Vivien François Bonvin, Karina Alexandra Rojas Olate

We present new measurements of the time delays of WFI2033-4723. The data sets used in this work include 14 years of data taken at the 1.2 m Leonhard Euler Swiss telescope, 13 years of data from the SMARTS 1.3 m telescope at Las Campanas Observatory and a s ...

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 ...

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 ...

An Alternating Trust Region Algorithm for Distributed Linearly Constrained Nonlinear Programs, Application to the Optimal Power Flow Problem

Colin Neil Jones, Jean-Hubert Hours

A novel trust region method for solving linearly constrained nonlinear programs is presented. The proposed technique is amenable to a distributed implementation, as its salient ingredient is an alternating projected gradient sweep in place of the Cauchy po ...
