Teaching about non-deterministic physics: an almost forgotten fundamental contribution of Marie Curie
The first historical steps of radioactivity research offer an excellent opportunity to teach a key concept of modern physics: non-deterministic phenomena. However, this opportunity is often wasted because of historical misconceptions and of the irrational ...
Iop Publishing Ltd2024Causal Triplet: An Open Challenge for Intervention-centric Causal Representation Learning
Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Yuejiang Liu
Recent years have seen a surge of interest in learning high-level causal representations from low-level image pairs under interventions. Yet, existing efforts are largely limited to simple synthetic settings that are far away from real-world problems. In t ...
2023Mechanisms underlying reinforcement learning of motor skills
Motor learning allows animals, including human beings, to acquire skills that are es-sential for efficient interactions with the environment. This ability to learn new motor skills is of great practical relevance for daily-life activities (such as when lea ...
EPFL2023STREAMING TENSOR TRAIN APPROXIMATION
Tensor trains are a versatile tool to compress and work with high-dimensional data and functions. In this work we introduce the streaming tensor train approximation (STTA), a new class of algorithms for approximating a given tensor ' in the tensor train fo ...
Philadelphia2023Weakly-supervised Action Transition Learning for Stochastic Human Motion Prediction
We introduce the task of action-driven stochastic human motion prediction, which aims to predict multiple plausible future motions given a sequence of action labels and a short motion history. This differs from existing works, which predict motions that ei ...
IEEE COMPUTER SOC2022Conditional separable effects
Mats Julius Stensrud, Aaron Leor Sarvet
Researchers are often interested in treatment effects on outcomes that are only defined conditional on a post-treatment event status. For example, in a study of the effect of different cancer treatments on quality of life at end of follow-up, the quality o ...
2020Saliency Driven Perceptual Quality Metric for Omnidirectional Visual Content
Touradj Ebrahimi, Evgeniy Upenik
The problem of objectively measuring perceptual quality of omnidirectional visual content arises in many immersive imaging applications and particularly in compression. The interactive nature of this type of content limits the performance of earlier method ...
IEEE2019FCR: Fast and Consistent Controller-Replication in Software Defined Networking
Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Eleni Stai, Mia Primorac, Maaz Mashood Mohiuddin
We consider the problem of coordination among replicated SDN controllers, where the challenge is to ensure a consistent view of the network while reacting to network events in a prompt manner. Existing solutions are either consensus-based, which achieve co ...
2019Causal role of the inferolateral prefrontal cortex in balancing goal-directed and habitual control of behavior
Successful adaptation to complex environments depends on the balance of at least two systems: a flexible but slow goal-directed system encoding action-outcome associations and an efficient but rigid habitual system linking responses to preceding stimuli. R ...
Nature Publishing Group2018New Approach to Identifying Critical Initial Conditions for Extreme Flood Simulations in a Semicontinuous Simulation Framework
Anton Schleiss, Javier García Hernández, Bettina Schaefli, Fränz Zeimetz, Guillaume Mathieu Artigue
Extreme flood simulation with synthetic extreme precipitation events raises unavoidable questions about the choice of initial conditions. State-of-the-art extreme flood estimation frameworks propose to address these questions with the help of semicontinuou ...
