Pulsed light optical rangefinder

Edoardo Charbon, Cristiano Niclass

An optical rangefinder based on time-of-flight measurement, radiates pulsed light toward an object (70), and receives reflected light from the object, the receiver operating in a photon counting mode, so as to generate a pulse for a detected photon. There ...

Amplitude And Phase Variation Of Point Processes

Victor Panaretos, Yoav Zemel

We develop a canonical framework for the study of the problem of registration of multiple point processes subjected to warping, known as the problem of separation of amplitude and phase variation. The amplitude variation of a real random function {Y(x) : x ...

Accelerated Spectral Clustering Using Graph Filtering of Random Signals

Pierre Vandergheynst, Rémi Gribonval, Gilles Puy, Nicolas Tremblay

We build upon recent advances in graph signal processing to propose a faster spectral clustering algorithm. Indeed, classical spectral clustering is based on the computation of the first

Reconciling Factor Graph with User Feedback

Thành Tâm Nguyên

Factor graph is a representative graphical model to handle uncertainty of random variables. Factor graph has been used in various application domains such as named entity recognition, social network analysis, and credibility evaluation. In this paper, we s ...

The Chaining Lemma and Its Application

Sebastian Faust

We present a new information-theoretic result which we call the Chaining Lemma. It considers a so-called "chain" of random variables, defined by a source distribution X-(0) with high min-entropy and a number (say, t in total) of arbitrary functions (T-1,.. ...

Adaptive polynomial approximation by means of random discrete least squares

Giovanni Migliorati

We address adaptive multivariate polynomial approximation by means of the discrete least-squares method with random evaluations, to approximate in the L2 probability sense a smooth function depending on a random variable distributed according to a given pr ...

Sample and population exponents of generalized Taylor's law

Andrea Rinaldo, Andrea Giometto, Amos Maritan

Taylor's law (TL) states that the variance V of a nonnegative random variable is a power function of its mean M; i.e., V = aM(b). TL has been verified extensively in ecology, where it applies to population abundance, physics, and other natural sciences. It ...

Stochastic frequency reserve provision by chance-constrained control of commercial buildings

Maryam Kamgarpour, Xiuwei Zhang

Robust programs with modulated uncertainty sets are problems in which the uncertainty sets are treated as optimization variables. In many applications, these uncertainty sets can be interpreted as reserve capacities for which rewards are offered. One examp ...

Sampling-Based Nuclear Data Uncertainty Quantification for Continuous Energy Monte Carlo Codes

Ting Zhu

The goal of the present PhD research is to establish a methodology of nuclear data uncertainty quantification (NDUQ) for MCNPX, the continuous-energy Monte-Carlo (M-C) code. The high fidelity (continuous-energy treatment and flexible geometry modelling) of ...

From averaging to acceleration, there is only a step-size

Nicolas Henri Bernard Flammarion

We consider the optimization of a quadratic objective function whose gradients are only accessible through a stochastic oracle that returns the gradient at any given point plus a zero-mean finite variance random error. We present the first algorithm that a ...
