Using arguments developed by De Giorgi in the 1950's, it is possible to prove the regularity of the solutions to a vast class of variational problems in the Euclidean space. The main goal of the present thesis is to extend these results to the more abstrac ...
We address the issue of how statistical and information-theoric measures can be employed to quantify the categorization process of a simulated robotic agent interacting with its local environment. We show how correlation, entropy, and mutual information ca ...
We present a new model for LT codes which simplifies the analysis of the error probability of decoding by belief propagation. For any given degree distribution, we provide the first rigorous expression for the limiting bit-error probability as the length o ...
In this paper an objective metric to measure the perceptual quality of watermarked 3D meshes is presented. The metric, which is based on a black-box approach, relies on the measurement of the roughness of 3D meshes before and after the insertion of the wat ...
We consider the problem of scalable source coding with decoder side informations. Two special cases of this problem have been investigated in the literature, namely successive refinement Wyner-Ziv (SR-WZ) coding and side-information scalable (SI-Scalable) ...

Combining several classifiers has proved to be an efficient machine learning technique. Two concepts influence clearly the efficiency of an ensemble: the diversity between classifiers and the individual accuracies of the classifiers. We use an information ...
We consider the joint optimization of sensor placement and transmission structure for data gathering, where a given number of nodes need to be placed in a field such that the sensed data can be reconstructed at a sink within specified distortion bounds whi ...
We prove general superrigidity results for actions of irreducible lattices on CAT(0) spaces; first, in terms of the ideal boundary, and then for the intrinsic geometry (including for infinite-dimensional spaces). In particular, one obtains a new and self-c ...
In this paper we aim to explore what is the most appropriate number of data samples needed when measuring the temporal correspondence between a chosen set of video and audio cues in a given audio-visual sequence. Presently the optimal model that connects s ...
