1805-1898 Census Records of Lausanne : a Long Digital Dataset for Demographic History

Isabella Di Lenardo, Lucas Arnaud André Rappo, Rémi Guillaume Petitpierre, Marion Kramer

This historical dataset stems from the project of automatic extraction of 72 census records of Lausanne, Switzerland. The complete dataset covers a century of historical demography in Lausanne (1805-1898), which corresponds to 18,831 pages, and nearly 6 mi ...

Lausanne Historical Censuses Dataset HTR 35k

Lucas Arnaud André Rappo, Rémi Guillaume Petitpierre, Marion Kramer

This training dataset includes a total of 34,913 manually transcribed text segments. It is dedicated to the handwritten text recognition (HTR) of historical sources, typically tabular records, such as censuses. This dataset is based on a sample of 83 pages ...

An end-to-end pipeline for historical censuses processing

Lucas Arnaud André Rappo, Rémi Guillaume Petitpierre, Marion Kramer

Censuses are structured documents of great value for social and demographic history, which became widespread from the nineteenth century on. However, the plurality of formats and the natural variability of historical data make their extraction arduous and ...

Multi-Level Monte Carlo Methods for Uncertainty Quantification and Risk-Averse Optimisation

Sundar Subramaniam Ganesh

This work aims to study the effects of wind uncertainties in civil engineering structural design. Optimising the design of a structure for safety or operability without factoring in these uncertainties can result in a design that is not robust to these per ...

Parameter estimation for discretely observed linear birth-and-death processes

Anthony Christopher Davison, Sophie Myriam Hautphenne, Andrea Kraus

Birth-and-death processes are widely used to model the development of biological populations. Although they are relatively simple models, their parameters can be challenging to estimate, as the likelihood can become numerically unstable when data arise fro ...

Quantum Monte Carlo approach to the non-equilibrium steady state of open quantum systems

Alexandra Nagy

Many-body open quantum systems are exposed to an essentially uncontrollable environment that acts as a source of decoherence and dissipation. As the exact treatment of such models is generally unfeasible, it is favourable to formulate an approximate descri ...

Driven-dissipative quantum Monte Carlo method for open quantum systems

Vincenzo Savona, Alexandra Nagy

We develop a real-time full configuration-interaction quantum Monte Carlo approach to model driven-dissipative open quantum systems with Markovian system-bath coupling. The method enables stochastic sampling of the Liouville–von Neumann time evolution of t ...

iSCHRUNK – In Silico Approach to Characterization and Reduction of Uncertainty in the Kinetic Models of Genome-scale Metabolic Networks

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Ljubisa Miskovic, Stefano Andreozzi

Information about kinetics and enzyme activities while essential for quantitative understanding of metabolic dynamics remains rarely available and always involves uncertainty. In this work, we introduce the first computational methodology capable of determ ...

Simulation based Approach for Agents Synthesis in Large-Scale Urban Systems Modelling

Michel Bierlaire, Gunnar Flötteröd, Bilal Farooq, Ricardo Daniel Hurtubia González

Microsimulation of urban transportation and land use evolution require base year, individual characteristics and disaggregate locations of the households and persons living in the study area. On the other hand, mainly due to privacy reasons, at best the ce ...
