Formal Foundations of Capture Tracking

Type systems are a device for verifying properties of programs without running them. Many programming languages used in the industry have always had a type system, while others were initially created without a type system and later adopted one, when the ad ...

How Many Are Too Many? Analyzing Dockless Bike-Sharing Systems with a Parsimonious Model

Kenan Zhang

Using a parsimonious model, this paper analyzes a dockless bike-sharing (DLB) service that competes with walking and a generic motorized mode. The DLB operator chooses a fleet size and a fare schedule that dictate the level of service (LOS) as measured by ...

How crowding challenges (feedforward) convolutional neural networks

Michael Herzog, Ben Henrik Lönnqvist, Gregory Francis, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Alban Bornet, Lynn Schmittwilken

Are (feedforward) convolutional neural networks (CNNs) good models for the human visual system? Here, we used visual crowding as a well-controlled psychophysical test to probe CNNs. Visual crowding is a ubiquitous breakdown of object recognition in the hum ...

The formation of Coasean institutions to provide university knowledge for innovation: a case study and econometric evidence for Switzerland

Dominique Foray

"Coasean" institutions are an alternative institutional form that provides a solution to some market and coordination failures. As such they can weaken considerably the case for public subsidies in a vast range of context. They are "market-based" and an in ...

Resting-State Brain Activity for Early Prediction Outcome in Postanoxic Patients in a Coma with Indeterminate Clinical Prognosis

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville

The authors used resting-state fMRI in a prospective study to compare whole-brain functional connectivity between patients with good and poor outcomes, implementing support vector machine learning. They automatically predicted coma outcome using resting-st ...

The Perception of Access in Sydney

Ensuring good access is a key element of land-use planning, allowing people to move around and access different services. This project focuses on the perception of access, as people base their transport mode choice on it. The context of lockdown due to COV ...

Walk the Talk! Exploring (Mis)Alignment of Words and Deeds by Robotic Teammates in a Public Goods Game

Shruti Chandra, Ana Paiva

This paper explores how robotic teammates can enhance and promote cooperation in collaborative settings. It presents a user study in which participants engaged with two fully autonomous robotic partners to play a game together, named "For The Record", a va ...

Adapting Governance Incentives to Avoid Common Pool Resource Underuse: The Case of Swiss Summer Pastures

Ivo Philippe Baur

The use of summer pastures in the European Alps provides much evidence against Hardin's prediction of the tragedy of the commons. For centuries, farmers have kept summer pastures in communal tenure and avoided its overuse with self-designed regulations. Du ...

Two management strategies for improving passenger transfer experience in train stations

Michel Bierlaire, Riccardo Scarinci, Nicholas Alan Molyneaux

Exploiting the full potential of pedestrian infrastructures in order to satisfy the demand induced by public transport modes is key to achieving good level-of-service for passengers during transfers. High temporal variability in demand can lead to high con ...

Adversarially Robust Optimization with Gaussian Processes

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett, Ilija Bogunovic

In this paper, we consider the problem of Gaussian process (GP) optimization with an added robustness requirement: The returned point may be perturbed by an adversary, and we require the function value to remain as high as possible even after this perturba ...
