Lyapunov Exponents for Branching Processes in a Random Environment: The Effect of Information

We consider multitype branching processes evolving in a Markovian random environment. To determine whether or not the branching process becomes extinct almost surely is akin to computing the maximal Lyapunov exponent of a sequence of random matrices, which ...

Optimal Search Strategies for Pollutant Source Localization

Auke Ijspeert, Howard Li

This paper is aimed at developing optimal motion planning for a single autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) equipped with an on-board pollutant sensor that will maximize the sensor-related information available for source seeking. The ASV uses a nonlinear diff ...

Tag-based Paper Retrieval: Minimizing User Effort with Diversity Awareness

Karl Aberer, Quoc Viet Hung Nguyen, Thành Tâm Nguyên, Son Thanh Do

As the number of scientific papers getting published is likely to soar, most of modern paper management systems (e.g. ScienceWise, Mendeley, CiteULike) support tag-based retrieval. In that, each paper is associated with a set of \emph{tags}, allowing user ...

Coding schemes for broadcast erasure channels with feedback: the two multicast case

Christina Fragouli, Efe Onaran

We consider the single hop broadcast packet erasure channel (BPEC) with two multicast sessions (each of them destined to a different group of

N

users) and regularly available instantaneous receiver ACK/NACK feedback. Using the insight gained from recent ...

Portfolio construction under information asymmetry

Lionel Coulot

We introduce in this thesis the idea of a variable lookback model, i.e., a model whose predictions are based on a variable portion of the information set. We verify the intuition of this model in the context of experimental finance. We also propose a novel ...

Image Retrieval in the Plenoptic Space

Alireza Ghasemi

In this report we study the ways to exploit the vast amount of information inherent in the plenoptic space and constraints of the plenoptic function to improve the efficiency of image retrieval, recognition and matching techniques. The plenoptic space is f ...

Real-Time Collaborative Information Management in Enterprises

Naoufel Cheikhrouhou, Michel Pouly, Sébastien Berthold

The European manufacturing sector has experienced considerable changes in the last several decades because of the reduction of the manufacturing depth. Continuous pressure on prices and global competition forced companies to concentrate on core competences ...

Anthropic Correction of Information Estimates and Its Application to Neural Coding

Michael Christoph Gastpar

Information theory has been used as an organizing principle in neuroscience for several decades. Estimates of the mutual information (MI) between signals acquired in neurophysiological experiments are believed to yield insights into the structure of the un ...

On the Importance of Spatial Configuration of Information

Pierre Dillenbourg, Frédéric Kaplan, Hamed Seiied Alavi

The spatial layout of information influences collaborative interactions. We compared two awareness tools which give information on the status of participants in a collaborative work, one displaying it on a single screen and the other distributing it in the ...

An Information Theoretic Approach to Speaker Diarization of Meeting Data

Hervé Bourlard, Fabio Valente, Deepu Vijayasenan

A speaker diarization system based on an information theoretic framework is described. The problem is formulated according to the Information Bottleneck (IB) principle. Unlike other approaches where the distance between speaker segments is arbitrarily intr ...
