2023On double-descent in uncertainty quantification in overparametrized models
Florent Gérard Krzakala, Lenka Zdeborová, Lucas Andry Clarte, Bruno Loureiro, Bruno Loureiro
Uncertainty quantification is a central challenge in reliable and trustworthy machine learning. Naive measures such as last-layer scores are well-known to yield overconfident estimates in the context of overparametrized neural networks. Several methods, ra ...
PMLR Proceedings of Machine Learning Research2023Calibration Transfer Methodology for Cloud Radars Based on Ice Cloud Observations
This article presents a calibration transfer methodology that can be used between radars of the same or dif-ferent frequency bands. This method enables the absolute calibration of a cloud radar by transferring it from another collocated instrument with kno ...
AMER METEOROLOGICAL SOC2023Information content and aerosol property retrieval potential for different types of in situ polar nephelometer data
Alireza Moallemi, Robin Lewis Modini, Philippe Giaccari
Polar nephelometers are in situ instruments used to measure the angular distribution of light scattered by aerosol particles. These types of measurements contain substantial information about the properties of the aerosol being probed (e.g. concentrations, ...
2022Optical measurement method for mechanical time base characterization
Simon Nessim Henein, Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann
The recent adoption of silicon components by the mechanical watch industry has triggered the search for new time bases to advantageously replace the traditional balance and hairspring oscillator. In particular, flexure-based oscillators manufactured in sil ...
2021Experimental study of wakefields driven by a self-modulating proton bunch in plasma
Yiming Li, Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Patrick Blanchard, Alan Howling, Yanis Andrebe, Rémy Jacquier, Riccardo Agnello, Sun Hee Kim, Ishkhan Gorgisyan, Shuai Liu
We study experimentally the longitudinal and transverse wakefields driven by a highly relativistic proton bunch during self-modulation in plasma. We show that the wakefields' growth and amplitude increase with increasing seed amplitude as well as with the ...
2020Un nouveau 'Guide du logement à loyer modéré'
La Commission fédérale du logement a initié, en 2017, la rédaction d'un glossaire du logement à loyer abordable. Il n'a pas vu le jour, trop grandes étaient les divergences sur les termes. A la place, ce Guide présente différentes vues sur l'habitat bon ma ...
2019Teaching Measurement Fundamentals
While it has always been true that measurements are made to guide decision-making, there is abundant evidence that not all measurement results are meaningful. We give examples of fully-functional, tested and trusted measurement systems producing nonsensica ...
IEEE2018High density fiber postitioner system for massive spectroscopic surveys
Hannes Bleuler, Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Mohamed Bouri, Luzius Gregor Kronig, Philipp Hörler
We describe here a novel design of a fast high-density robotized fiber positioner system for massive spectroscopic surveys. The fiber positioners are compact, robust, and they can be coordinated, allowing for a high spatial density. Furthermore, the high a ...
OXFORD UNIV PRESS2018Guidance, Navigation and Control for Autonomous Cooperative Docking of CubeSats
Volker Gass, Pierre-Alain Mäusli, Camille Sébastien Pirat
Is it possible to dock CubeSats in Low Earth Orbit? The challenges are mainly associated with the level of miniaturisation. A docking mechanism was designed, built and tested in the laboratory. Results show that a relative precision better than 1 cm and 2 ...
