Multi-experts scheduling system for real-time applications

Mario Bellino

This thesis focuses on the decisional process of autonomous systems, and more particularly, on the way to take a decision when the time at disposal in order to assess the whole situation is shorter than necessary. Indeed, numerous systems propose solutions ...

Polar Codes are Optimal for Lossy Source Coding

Rüdiger Urbanke, Satish Babu Korada

We consider lossy source compression of a binary symmetric source with Hamming distortion function. We show that polar codes combined with a low-complexity successive cancellation encoding algorithm achieve the rate-distortion bound. The complexity of both ...

Shape distortions and Gestalt grouping in anorthoscopic perception

Michael Herzog

When a figure moves behind a stationary narrow slit, observers often report seeing the figure as a whole, a phenomenon called slit viewing or anorthoscopic perception. Interestingly, in slit viewing, the figure is perceived compressed along the axis of mot ...

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 ...

Localization through Surface Folding in Solid Foams under Compression

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

We report a combined experimental and theoretical study of the compression of a solid foam coated with a thin elastic film. Past a critical compression threshold, a pattern of localized folds emerges with a characteristic size that is imposed by an instabi ...

An Asynchronous Programmable Parallel 2-D Image Filter CMOS IC Based on the Gilbert Multiplier

Rafal Tomasz Dlugosz

A novel analogue power-efficient 2-D programmable finite impulse response image filter is proposed. This solution is based on the current-mode Gilbert-vector-multiplier operating in the weak inversion region, which allows for ultra low power operation. The ...

Cooperative media streaming using adaptive network compression

Tom Larsen

Media content distribution constitutes a growing share of the services on the Internet. Two distinct distribution approaches used today are Layered Coding (LC) and Multiple Description Coding (MDC). Current wireless connection technologies, e.g. Wimax, hav ...

Lower Bounds on the Rate-Distortion Function of Individual LDGM Codes

Rüdiger Urbanke, Shrinivas Kudekar

We consider lossy compression of a binary symmetric source by means of a low-density generator-matrix code. We derive two lower bounds on the rate distortion function which are valid for any low-density generator-matrix code with a given node degree distri ...

Perceived speed differences explain apparent compression in slit viewing

Michael Herzog

When a figure moves behind a stationary narrow slit, observers often report seeing the figure as an integrated whole, a phenomenon known as slit viewing or anorthoscopic perception. Interestingly, in slit viewing, the figure is perceived compressed along t ...
