Robust discrete choice models with t-distributed kernel errors

Michel Bierlaire, Thomas Gasos, Prateek Bansal

Outliers in discrete choice response data may result from misclassification and misreporting of the response variable and from choice behaviour that is inconsistent with modelling assumptions (e.g. random utility maximisation). In the presence of outliers, ...

Regressive Tomography and Direct Regressive Reconstruction: A Research Note

Henri Weisen

Two related methods for inverting line-integrated measurements are presented in this research paper in the context of the recent deuterium-tritium experiments in the JET tokamak. Unlike traditional methods of tomography, these methods rely on making use of ...

Personalized Privacy-Preserving Distributed Learning on Heterogeneous Data

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Aditya Pradeep

One major challenge in distributed learning is to efficiently learn for each client when the data across clients is heterogeneous or non iid (not independent or identically distributed). This provides a significant challenge as the data of the other client ...

Current propagation type self-consistent leader-return stroke model

Marcos Rubinstein

A current propagation type return stroke model which is consistent with the estimated distribution of the charge on the leader channel is described. The model takes into account the dispersion of the return stroke current along the return stroke channel. T ...

Hierarchical processing underpins competition in tactile perceptual bistability

Andrea Ferrario

Ambiguous sensory information can lead to spontaneous alternations between perceptual states, recently shown to extend to tactile perception. The authors recently proposed a simplified form of tactile rivalry which evokes two competing percepts for a fixed ...

swissALPS: a Dataset for Imbalanced Land Cover Mapping in Alpine Regions

Valérie Zermatten

Our dataset consists of very high-resolution aerial images (50cm) and a digital elevation model (50cm) that covers approx. 2300 km2 of land above 2000m altitude in the southwestern part of Switzerland. Our land cover labels focus on alpine land cover that ...

A Statistical Framework to Investigate the Optimality of Signal-Reconstruction Methods

Michaël Unser, Pakshal Narendra Bohra

We present a statistical framework to benchmark the performance of reconstruction algorithms for linear inverse problems, in particular, neural-network-based methods that require large quantities of training data. We generate synthetic signals as realizati ...

Adversarial Parametric Pose Prior

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Anastasia Remizova, Andrey Davydov, Victor Constantin, Sina Honari

The Skinned Multi-Person Linear (SMPL) model represents human bodies by mapping pose and shape parameters to body meshes. However, not all pose and shape parameter values yield physically-plausible or even realistic body meshes. In other words, SMPL is und ...

Functional peaks-over-threshold analysis

Anthony Christopher Davison, Raphaël Gérard Théodore Michel Marie de Deloÿe et Fourcade de Fondeville

Peaks-over-threshold analysis using the generalised Pareto distribution is widely applied in modelling tails of univariate random variables, but much information may be lost when complex extreme events are studied using univariate results. In this paper, w ...
