This work proposes a new approach to the retrieval of images from text queries. Contrasting with previous work, this method relies on a discriminative approach: the parameters are selected in order to minimize a loss related to the ranking performance of t ...
The exploration-exploitation trade-off that arises when one considers simple point estimates of expected returns no longer appears when full distributions are considered. This work develops a simple gradient-based approach for mainting such distributions a ...
In this paper we present a method of parsing unstructured textual records briefly describing a person and their direct relatives. The string `Stephanus, brother of Johannes Magnin, from Saillon' is a typical example of a record. We wish to annotate every t ...
The sound development of city-regions presents a major planning challenge, as these regions are and will be the living spaces for the majority of the population. Therefore, a key question is how city- regions can be managed so that they develop in a sustai ...

The increasing importance of sustainability in urban and architectural design is strongly questioning the actual logic of built environment dispersion. In this context, the regeneration of urban wastelands constitutes an important potential for urban densi ...
This paper presents an approach to multi-objective signal control using fuzzy logic. The signal control uses fuzzy logic where the membership functions are optimised according to the Bellman-Zadeh principle of fuzzy decision-making. This approach is both p ...
Implementing sustainable development (SD) requires operationalizing this rather vague guiding principle in a socio-technological context. This paper refers to a notion of SD that stresses approaching SD from a systemic perspective. We first present the Fun ...
Introduction In 1987, the need to strive towards development aimed at making it possible to satisfy the present needs without compromising the needs of future generations is generally acknowledged. The Rio Earth Summit in 1992 propagated Agenda 211, whi ...
The content of this thesis is two-fold. The first part takes the form of an essay while the second part presents a theoretical project for an architectural installation. Using these two modes as different ways to address similar issues, the present work pr ...
