Introduction of optimisation problems in which the objective function is black box or obtaining the gradient is infeasible, has recently raised interest in zeroth-order optimisation methods. As an example finding adversarial examples for Deep Learning mode ...
Systems code is often written in low-level languages like C/C++, which offer many benefits but also delegate memory management to programmers. This invites memory safety bugs that attackers can exploit to divert control flow and compromise the system. Depl ...
In many real-life optimization problems involving multiple agents, the rewards are not necessarily known exactly in advance, but rather depend on sources of exogenous uncertainty. For instance, delivery companies might have to coordinate to choose who shou ...
The present article evaluates the knowledge that can be attributed to the application of « Best Practices » in the field of urban habitat. It especially aims at identifying the conditions of innovation in such a setting, as well as defining the necessary c ...
We present a verification procedure for pure higher-order functional Scala programs with parametric types. We show that our procedure is sound for proofs, as well as sound and complete for counter-examples. The procedure reduces the analysis of higher-orde ...
This paper performs a comprehensive and comparative evaluation of the state of the art local features for the task of image based 3D reconstruction. The evaluated local features cover the recently developed ones by using powerful machine learning technique ...
The authors evaluated the RNA binding of all eight possible stereoisomers of LNA. Synthesis of "a-l-xylo-LNA" has been accomplished and the remaining four stereoisomers, all enantiomers of the four synthesized diastereoisomers, are indirectly evaluated b ...
A symposium report. Since the discovery of the immunosuppressive activity of cyclosporine A (CsA), considerable work has been devoted to the chem. synthesis of potent analogs. More recently, the finding of potential anti-HIV I activity of CsA raised intere ...
