Active Learning of Multi-Index Function Models

Volkan Cevher, Hemant Tyagi

We consider the problem of actively learning \textit{multi-index} functions of the form

f(x) = g(Ax)= \sum_{i=1}^k g_i(a_i^Tx)

from point evaluations of

f

. We assume that the function

f

is defined on an

\ell_2

-ball in

\Real^d

g

is twice contin ...

Neuroscience of Bodily Self-Consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Christian Pfeiffer, Estelle Palluel

We review recent research about human subjectivity and self-consciousness that has focused on cognitive psychology and neuroimaging of bodily self-consciousness. Multidisciplinary research on the fields of neurology, cognitive neuroscience and virtual real ...

Generalized Monotonicity Analysis

Thomas Alois Weber

Complex economic models often lack the structure for the application of standard techniques in monotone comparative statics. Generalized monotonicity analysis (GMA) extends the available methods in several directions. First, it provides a way of finding pa ...

Feeling in control of your footsteps: Conscious gait monitoring and the auditory consequences of footsteps

Martin Vetterli, Olaf Blanke, Christof Faller, Fritz Menzer, Pär Halje

A fundamental aspect of the “I” of conscious experience is that the self is experienced as a single coherent representation of the entire, spatially situated body. The purpose of the present study was to investigate agency for the entire body. We provided ...

Functions With Orthogonal Hessian

Bernard Dacorogna

A Dirichlet problem for orthogonal Hessians in two dimensions is explicitly solved, by characterizing all piecewise C-2 functions u Omega subset of R-2 -> R with orthogonal Hessian in terms of a property named "second order angle condition" as in (1 1) ...

IMPLICIT RETRIEVAL OF SALIENT IMAGES USING BRAIN COMPUTER INTERFACE

Touradj Ebrahimi, Jean-Marc Vesin, Ashkan Yazdani

Space missions are often equipped with several high definition sensors that can autonomously collect a potentially enormous amount of data. The bottleneck in retrieving these often precious datasets is the onboard data storing capability and the communicat ...

Consciousness & the Small Network Argument

Michael Herzog, Wulfram Gerstner

The last decade has experienced a vivid enthusiasm to unravel the mystery of consciousness believed to be one of the major puzzles of humankind. We share this enthusiasm. Still,we feel that current models are incomplete suffering from a problem that we cal ...

The subconvexity problem for Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions and equidistribution of Heegner points. II

Philippe Michel

We prove a general subconvex bound in the level aspect for Rankin–Selberg L-functions associated with two primitive holomorphic or Maass cusp forms over Q. We use this bound to establish the equidistribution of incomplete Galois orbits of Heegner points on ...

Spectral Methods

Alfio Quarteroni

Since the publication of "Spectral Methods in Fluid Dynamics" 1988, spectral methods have become firmly established as a mainstream tool for scientific and engineering computation. The authors of that book have incorporated into this new edition the many i ...
