Switchover phenomenon induced by epidemic seeding on geometric networks

It is a fundamental question in disease modeling how the initial seeding of an epidemic, spreading over a network, determines its final outcome. One important goal has been to find the seed configuration, which infects the most individuals. Although the id ...

Asymptotically Optimal Contextual Bandit Algorithm Using Hierarchical Structures

Hakan Gökcesu, Kaan Gökcesu

We propose an online algorithm for sequential learning in the contextual multiarmed bandit setting. Our approach is to partition the context space and, then, optimally combine all of the possible mappings between the partition regions and the set of bandit ...

Optimal Stimulation Protocol in a Bistable Synaptic Consolidation Model

Wulfram Gerstner, Samuel Pavio Muscinelli, Chiara Gastaldi

Synaptic changes induced by neural activity need to be consolidated to maintain memory over a timescale of hours. In experiments, synaptic consolidation can be induced by repeating a stimulation protocol several times and the effectiveness of consolidation ...

On the potential of ruled-based machine learning for disruption prediction on JET

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Martinus Gijs, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia

In the last years, it has become apparent that detecting disruptions with sufficient anticipation time is an essential but not exclusive task of predictors. It is also important that the prediction is accompanied by appropriate qualifications of its reliab ...

The Unfolding Argument: Why Recurrent Processing Cannot Explain Consciousness

Michael Herzog, Aaron Schurger, Adrien Christophe Doerig

Neuroscientific theories aim to explain paradigm cases of consciousness such as masking, binocular rivalry or the transition from dreamless sleep to wakefulness. The most popular theories are based on computational principles. Recurrent processing is a key ...

Combinatorial Algorithm for Restricted Max-Min Fair Allocation

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Christos Kalaitzis, Chidambaram Annamalai

We study the basic allocation problem of assigning resources to players to maximize fairness. This is one of the few natural problems that enjoys the intriguing status of having a better estimation algorithm than approximation algorithm. Indeed, a certain ...

Computation in Multicast Networks: Function Alignment and Converse Theorems

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Naveen Goela

The classical problem in a network coding theory considers communication over multicast networks. Multiple transmitters send independent messages to multiple receivers that decode the same set of messages. In this paper, computation over multicast networks ...

Combinatorial Algorithm for Restricted Max-Min Fair Allocation

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Christos Kalaitzis, Chidambaram Annamalai

We study the basic allocation problem of assigning resources to players so as to maximize fairness. This is one of the few natural problems that enjoys the intriguing status of having a better estimation algorithm than approximation algorithm. Indeed, a ce ...

Fast Global Minimization of the Active Contour/Snake Model

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Pierre Vandergheynst, Xavier Bresson

The active contour/snake model is one of the most successful variational models in image segmentation. It consists of evolving a contour in images toward the boundaries of objects. Its success is based on strong mathematical properties and efficient numeri ...
