Graph Chatbot

Chattez avec Graph Search

Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.

AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.

Positioning of strained islands by interaction with surface nanogrooves

Klaus Kern, Giovanni Costantini

When strained Stranski-Krastanow islands are used as "self-assembled quantum dots," a key goal is to control the island position. Here we show that nanoscale grooves can control the nucleation of epitaxial Ge islands on Si(001), and can drive lateral motio ...

A Haptic Interface with Motor/Brake System for Colonoscopy Simulation

Hannes Bleuler, Evren Samur, Lionel Flaction

Training for colonoscopy, which is the examination and treatment of the colon, is often performed on real patients once the physician has passed the novice level. This increases the risk to the patient and lengthens the procedure time. Since a decade ago, ...

Flexible simulators for OBS network architectures

Sébastien Rumley, Christian Gaumier

Since the OBS paradigm has become a potential candidate to cope with the needs of the future all optical networks, it has really caught the attention from both academia and industry worldwide. In this direction, OBS networks have been investigated under ma ...

Bioinspired Vision-based Microflyers

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Antoine Beyeler

We aim at developing vision-based controllers for microyers capable of ying autonomously in indoor environments. Although signicant advances have been made in this domain over the past decade, only subproblems have been successfully addressed (for example ...

In search of the neural circuits of intrinsic motivation

Frédéric Kaplan

Children seem to acquire new know-how in a continuous and open-ended manner. In this paper, we hypothesize that an intrinsic motivation to progress in learning is at the origins of the remarkable structure of children’s developmental trajectories. In this ...

Spatial navigation in geometric mazes

Navigation is defined as the capability of planning and performing a path from the current position towards a desired location. Different types, or strategies, of navigation are used by animals depending on the task they are trying to solve. Visible goals ...

Overview of JPSearch: a Standard for Image Search and Retrieval

Touradj Ebrahimi, Frédéric Dufaux, Michael Ansorge

In this paper, we review the on-going JPSearch standardization activity. Its goal is to provide a standard for interoperability for image search and retrieval systems. More specifically, JPSearch aims at defining the interfaces and protocols for data excha ...

On the moduli space of singular Euclidean surfaces

Marc Troyanov

The goal of this paper is to develop some aspects of the deformation theory of piecewise flat structures on surfaces and use this theory to construct new geometric structures on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces. ...

A survey of robust statistics (vol 15, pg 271, 2007)

Stephan Morgenthaler

Robust statistics has multiple goals, which are not always aligned. Robust thinking grew out of data analysis and the realisation that empirical evidence is at times supported merely by one or a few observations. The paper examines the outgrowth from this ...

We argue that robust statistics has multiple goals, which are not always aligned. Robust thinking grew out of data analysis and the realisation that empirical evidence is at times supported merely by one or a few observations. The paper examines the outgro ...
