Multiple Objectives of Lawful-Surveillance Protocols

Bryan Alexander Ford

In recent work on open, privacy-preserving, accountable surveillance, we have proposed the use of cryptographic protocols that enable law-enforcement and intelligence agencies to obtain actionable information about targeted users of mass-communication syst ...

In this paper we study the speed of infection spread and the survival of the contact process in the random geometric graph G = G (n, r(n), f) of n nodes independently distributed in S = -1/2, 1/2 according to a certain density f(.). In the first part ...

Systems and methods for tracking interacting objects

Pascal Fua, François Fleuret, Engin Türetken, Xinchao Wang

Systems and methods for tracking interacting objects may acquire, with a sensor, and two or more images associated with two or more time instances. A processor may generate image data from the two or more images. The processor may apply an extended Probabi ...

The impact of customer behavior models on revenue management systems

Shadi Sharif Azadeh

Revenue management (RM) can be considered an application of operations research in the transportation industry. For these service companies, it is a difficult task to adjust supply and demand. In order to maximize revenue, RM systems display demand behavio ...

Trajectories of objects are estimated by determining the optimal solution(s) of a tracking model on the basis of an occupancy probability distribution. The occupancy probability distribution is the probability of presence of objects over a set of discrete ...

Learning from Failed Demonstrations in Unreliable Systems

Aude Billard, Guillaume Pierre Luc De Chambrier, Akshara Rai

This paper presents a method to teach a robot to play Ping Pong from failed demonstrations in a highly noisy and uncertain setting. To infer useful information from failed demonstrations, we use a MultiDonut Algorithm [7] that minimises the probability of ...

Scaling of conductivity and Young’s modulus in replicated microcellular materials

Andreas Mortensen, Andreas Rossoll, Yves Conde

Scaling exponents for the conductivity and stiffness of replicated microcellular materials exceed commonly predicted values of 1 and 2. We show here that this is caused by the fact that, in replicated microcellular materials, the solid architecture varies ...
