TIC-TAC: A Framework for Improved Covariance Estimation in Deep Heteroscedastic Regression
Mathieu Salzmann, Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Megh Hiren Shukla
Deep heteroscedastic regression involves jointly optimizing the mean and covariance of the predicted distribution using the negative log-likelihood. However, recent works show that this may result in sub-optimal convergence due to the challenges associated ...
2024Amplified engagement of prefrontal cortex during control of voluntary action in Tourette syndrome
Sophie Jacqueline Andrée Betka
Tourette syndrome is characterized by 'unvoluntary' tics, which are compulsive, yet often temporarily suppressible. The inferior frontal gyms is implicated in motor control, including inhibition of pre-potent actions through influences on downstream subcor ...
OXFORD UNIV PRESS2020Combinatorial targeting of angiogenesis with inducers of autophagy in the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme
Malignant gliomas represent 80% of tumors developing in the central nervous system, with 50% being glioblastomas (GBM), the most aggressive form of the disease. The benefit from current therapies is very limited, the overall 5-year survival rate of patient ...
EPFL2018Les outils technologiques au service d'une planification urbaine durable et inclusive: création et application d'un outil-test
Urbanisation rapide, changement climatique, développement durable, épuisement des ressources, ou encore l’expansion généralisée d’Internet et de la téléphonie mo- bile sont autant d’enjeux qui défient la planification urbaine classique. Partant de ce qui p ...
2016Costs of control: decreased motor cortex engagement during a Go/NoGo task in Tourette's syndrome
Gilles de la Tourette syndrome is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by an impaired ability to inhibit unwanted behaviour. Although the presence of chronic motor and vocal tics defines Tourette's syndrome, other distinctive behavioural features like ...
Oxford University Press2014Altered intrahemispheric structural connectivity in Gilles de la Tourette syndrome
Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) is a common developmental neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by tics and frequent psychiatric comorbidities, often causing significant disability. Tic generation has been linked to disturbed networks of brain areas ...
2013My urge, my tic - a missing link between urges and tic inhibition
Abstract Despite the fact that premonitory urges precede most tics in patients with Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS), the voluntariness of tic elicitation and its suppressibility as a response to these urges still remains unclear. Moreover, there are n ...
2011Diasporas et TIC: la territorialité en question. L'exemple de la communauté des Albanais du Kosovo en Suisse
Cette recherche s'inscrit dans le cadre des travaux du Working Group 2 «Humans as e-Actors» de l'Action COST 298 (programme européen de recherche dont le thème est « Participation in the Broadband Society »), et plus particulièrement dans la thématique por ...
2009Structural changes in the somatosensory system correlate with tic severity in Gilles de la Tourette syndrome
Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by multiple motor and vocal tics. Previous structural MRI studies have identified regional abnormalities in grey matter, especially in the basal ganglia. These findings are c ...
Oxford University Press2009Discontinuously reinforced titanium matrix composites for fusion applications
We have reinforced alpha-Ti with different contents of TiC particles using the in situ technique and conventional casting. Compositional and microstructural characterization of the TiC/Ti composite material was made by XRD and SEMEDS. Tensile tests at RT, ...
