The maximal achievable advantage of a (computationally unbounded) distinguisher to determine whether a source Z is distributed according to distribution P0 or P1, when given access to one sample of Z, is characterized by the statistical distance ...
We consider discrete message passing (MP) decoding of low-density parity check (LDPC) codes based on information-optimal symmetric look-up table (LUT). A link between discrete message labels and the associated log-likelihood ratio values (defined in terms ...
We study stochastic programs where the decision-maker cannot observe the distribution of the exogenous uncertainties but has access to a finite set of independent samples from this distribution. In this setting, the goal is to find a procedure that transfo ...
Landau damping of coherent modes is strongly dependent on the exact shape of the particle bunches. One often assumes that the transverse distributions in high-energy hadron colliders can be approximated by Gaussian distributions, in acceptable agreement wi ...
Digital technologies are enabling the transformation of the established market boundaries and business models of the cinema industry, bringing opportunities for a reconfiguration of the conceptual framework of movie content distribution through movie theat ...
We propose to formulate the problem of repre-senting a distribution of robot configurations (e.g. joint angles)as that of approximating a product of experts. Our approach uses variational inference, a popular method in Bayesian computation, which has sever ...
The effect of Landau damping is often calculated assuming a Gaussian beam distribution in all transverse degrees of freedom, which agrees reasonably well with beam measurements. However, the stability of the beam is strongly dependent on the details of the ...
Snow is one of the most active elements on the earth, which is an important mass source of polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers, as well as a main supply for the runoff. Its distribution and evolution have a great impact on global hydrological cycle, ecosy ...
The randomized query complexity 𝖱(f) of a boolean function f: {0,1}ⁿ → {0,1} is famously characterized (via Yao’s minimax) by the least number of queries needed to distinguish a distribution 𝒟₀ over 0-inputs from a distribution 𝒟₁ over 1-inputs, maximized ...

At present, the demand of long tunnels with high cover is growing. At these depths, a rock mass consists mainly on hard rocks, which are often excavated with hard rock TBMs, whose costs per meter are lower than conventional excavation methods. The excavati ...
