Teaching about non-deterministic physics: an almost forgotten fundamental contribution of Marie Curie

The first historical steps of radioactivity research offer an excellent opportunity to teach a key concept of modern physics: non-deterministic phenomena. However, this opportunity is often wasted because of historical misconceptions and of the irrational ...

Mechanisms underlying reinforcement learning of motor skills

Pierre Theopistos Vassiliadis

Motor learning allows animals, including human beings, to acquire skills that are es-sential for efficient interactions with the environment. This ability to learn new motor skills is of great practical relevance for daily-life activities (such as when lea ...

STREAMING TENSOR TRAIN APPROXIMATION

Daniel Kressner

Tensor trains are a versatile tool to compress and work with high-dimensional data and functions. In this work we introduce the streaming tensor train approximation (STTA), a new class of algorithms for approximating a given tensor ' in the tensor train fo ...

Weakly-supervised Action Transition Learning for Stochastic Human Motion Prediction

Mathieu Salzmann, Wei Mao

We introduce the task of action-driven stochastic human motion prediction, which aims to predict multiple plausible future motions given a sequence of action labels and a short motion history. This differs from existing works, which predict motions that ei ...

Saliency Driven Perceptual Quality Metric for Omnidirectional Visual Content

Touradj Ebrahimi, Evgeniy Upenik

The problem of objectively measuring perceptual quality of omnidirectional visual content arises in many immersive imaging applications and particularly in compression. The interactive nature of this type of content limits the performance of earlier method ...

Causal role of the inferolateral prefrontal cortex in balancing goal-directed and habitual control of behavior

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

Successful adaptation to complex environments depends on the balance of at least two systems: a flexible but slow goal-directed system encoding action-outcome associations and an efficient but rigid habitual system linking responses to preceding stimuli. R ...

New Approach to Identifying Critical Initial Conditions for Extreme Flood Simulations in a Semicontinuous Simulation Framework

Anton Schleiss, Javier García Hernández, Bettina Schaefli, Fränz Zeimetz, Guillaume Mathieu Artigue

Extreme flood simulation with synthetic extreme precipitation events raises unavoidable questions about the choice of initial conditions. State-of-the-art extreme flood estimation frameworks propose to address these questions with the help of semicontinuou ...

Pro Free Will Priming Enhances "Risk-Taking" Behavior in the Iowa Gambling Task, but Not in the Balloon Analogue Risk Task: Two Independent Priming Studies

Christine Mohr, Noé Thomas Elie Ohana, Alessandro Tremea

Studies indicated that people behave less responsibly after exposure to information containing deterministic statements as compared to free will statements or neutral statements. Thus, deterministic primes should lead to enhanced risk-taking behavior. We t ...

Adaptive sensing using deterministic partial Hadamard matrices

Emre Telatar, Emmanuel Abbé, Saeid Haghighatshoar

This paper investigates the construction of determin- istic measurement matrices preserving the entropy of a random vector with a given probability distribution. In particular, it is shown that for a random vector with i.i.d. discrete components, this is a ...

Randomized versus Deterministic Implementations of Concurrent Data Structures

Dan Alistarh

One of the key trends in computing over the past two decades has been increased distribution, both at the processor level, where multi-core architectures are now the norm, and at the system level, where many key services are currently distributed overmulti ...
