Anthony C Davison and Igor Rodionov's contribution to the Discussion of 'Estimating means of bounded random variables by betting' by Waudby-Smith and Ramdas

Anthony Christopher Davison, Igor Rodionov

We derive confidence intervals (CIs) and confidence sequences (CSs) for the classical problem of estimating a bounded mean. Our approach generalizes and improves on the celebrated Chernoff method, yielding the best closed-form "empirical-Bernstein" CSs and ...

Modelling and design of CMOS SPAD sensors for quantum random number generation

Pouyan Keshavarzian

Modern digital connectivity has necessitated the creation of robust methods for securely storing and transferring data. At the heart of all security infrastructure is the random number generator (RNG). While random numbers find use in a variety of applicat ...

Automatic Content Curation of Visual Heritage

Mathieu Salzmann, Frédéric Kaplan, Delphine Ribes Lemay, Nicolas Henchoz, Valentine Bernasconi

Digitization and preservation of large heritage induce high maintenance costs to keep up with the technical standards and ensure sustainable access. Creating impactful usage is instrumental to justify the resources for long-term preservation. The Museum fü ...

A controller and an agreement protocol for a real-time control system

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Simon Bliudze, Wajeb Saab, Maaz Mashood Mohiuddin

The present invention concerns a method of generating setpoints for actuators (13) of a real-time control system. The method comprises a first controller (9): a) receiving a first set of measurements from sensors (3), the measurements being individually la ...

Quasi-random numbers for copula models

Mathieu Jacques David Cambou

The present work addresses the question how sampling algorithms for commonly applied copula models can be adapted to account for quasi-random numbers. Besides sampling methods such as the conditional distribution method (based on a one-to-one transformatio ...

Multi-index stochastic collocation convergence rates for random PDEs with parametric regularity

Fabio Nobile, Lorenzo Tamellini

We analyze the recent Multi-index Stochastic Collocation (MISC) method for computing statistics of the solution of a partial differential equation (PDE) with random data, where the random coefficient is parametrized by means of a countable sequence of term ...

Lifetimes of long-lived states in inhomogeneous magnetic fields

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Srinivas Chinthalapalli, Maninder Singh

Long-lived states (LLS), also known as singlet states, have been widely studied in the last decade. So far, LLS have only been observed in homogeneous magnetic fields, which preclude applications to many biological samples that are inherently inhomogeneous ...

Random walks generated by equilibrium contact processes

Thomas Mountford

We consider dynamic random walks where the nearest neighbour jump rates are determined by an underlying supercritical contact process in equilibrium. This has previously been studied by den Hollander and dos Santos (arXiv: 1209.1511). We show the CLT for s ...

Discarding low quality Minutia Cylinder-Code pairs for improved fingerprint comparison

Andrzej Drygajlo, Mohammad Hamed Izadi

Local minutiae descriptors such as Minutia Cylinder-Code (MCC) are becoming more popular in modern fingerprint matching systems. The matching performance depends a lot on the fingerprint image quality in global and local levels. Rejecting part of the lowes ...

Convergence of quasi-optimal Stochastic Galerkin methods for a class of PDES with random coefficients

Fabio Nobile, Lorenzo Tamellini

In this work we consider quasi-optimal versions of the Stochastic Galerkin method for solving linear elliptic PDEs with stochastic coefficients. In particular, we consider the case of a finite number
