Continuation Methods For Riemannian Optimization
Daniel Kressner, Axel Elie Joseph Séguin
Numerical continuation in the context of optimization can be used to mitigate convergence issues due to a poor initial guess. In this work, we extend this idea to Riemannian optimization problems, that is, the minimization of a target function on a Riemann ...
SIAM PUBLICATIONS2022Accurate Profile Measurement of the low Intensity Secondary Beams in the CERN Experimental Areas
The CERN accelerators deliver a wide spectrum of secondary beams to the Experimental Areas. These beams are composed of hadrons, leptons, and heavy ions that can vary greatly in momentum (1 GeV/c to 400 GeV/c) and intensity (10^2 to 10^8 particles per seco ...
EPFL2018Decomposition Strategies for Nonconvex Problems, a Parametric Approach
This thesis deals with the development of numerical methods for solving nonconvex optimisation problems by means of decomposition and continuation techniques. We first introduce a novel decomposition algorithm based on alternating gradient projections and ...
EPFL2016Function Passing: A Model for Typed, Distributed Functional Programming
Philipp Haller, Jocelyn Boullier
The most successful systems for “big data” processing have all adopted functional APIs. We present a new programming model we call function passing designed to provide a more principled substrate on which to build data-centric distributed systems. A key id ...
Assoc Computing Machinery2016Approximate cloaking for the full wave equation via change of variables: The Drude-Lorentz model
This paper concerns approximate cloaking by mapping for a full, but scalar wave equation, when one allows for physically relevant frequency dependence of the material properties of the cloak. The paper is a natural continuation of [20], but here we employ ...
Elsevier2016Enhancing Consolidation of a New Temporal Motor Skill by Cerebellar Noninvasive Stimulation
Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Maximilian Jonas Wessel
Cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has the potential to modulate cerebellar outputs and visuomotor adaptation. The cerebellum plays a pivotal role in the acquisition and control of skilled hand movements, especially its temporal aspe ...
Oxford University Press2016Emissions scenarios without measures 1990-2030
Philippe Thalmann, Marc Vielle, Bettina Schäppi
The goal of this study is to estimate the net impact of all measures implemented in the context of the Swiss energy and climate policies on CO2 emissions from combustion processes between 1990 and 2030. The study provides a projection of CO2 emissions unti ...
INFRAS EPFL2016Language Support for Distributed Functional Programming
Software development has taken a fundamental turn. Software today has gone from simple, closed programs running on a single machine, to massively open programs, patching together user experiences byway of responses received via hundreds of network requests ...
EPFL2015Distributed Programming via Safe Closure Passing
Programming systems incorporating aspects of functional programming, e.g., higher-order func- tions, are becoming increasingly popular for large-scale distributed programming. New frameworks such as Apache Spark leverage functional techniques to provide hi ...
