A framework to automate the design of digitally-fabricated timber plate structures

Yves Weinand, Petras Vestartas, Nicolas Henry Pierre Louis Rogeau, Aryan Rezaei Rad, Henry V. Burton

The current study uses knowledge from digital architecture, computer science, engineering informatics, and structural engineering to formulate an algorithmic framework for integrated Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) of Integ ...

Graph Signal Processing: Foundations and Emerging Directions [From the Guest Editors]

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Negar Kiyavash

The articles in this special section focus on graph signal processing. Generically, the networks that sustain our societies can be understood as complex systems formed by multiple nodes, where global network behavior arises from local interactions between ...

What attracts our visual attention? A study on saliency mapping for architectural daylit scenes based on virtual reality data

Caroline Karmann

Understanding what elements of our visual environment guide our attention would be a crucial asset for design. In architecture, this knowledge could influence the position and size of the various components (e.g., windows) to support ergonomic, safe and em ...

Robot swarms as an educational tool: The Thymio’s way

Francesco Mondada

Robotics provides useful tools for educational purposes, allowing to engage students in learning within disparate domains, from computer science and artificial intelligence – traditionally the main domains for educational robotics – to general education, h ...

New Algorithmic Paradigms for Discrete Problems using Dynamical Systems and Polynomials

Damian Mateusz Straszak

Optimization is a fundamental tool in modern science. Numerous important tasks in biology, economy, physics and computer science can be cast as optimization problems. Consider the example of machine learning: recent advances have shown that even the most s ...

Deterministic Algorithms for Submodular Maximization Problems

Moran Feldman

Randomization is a fundamental tool used in many theoretical and practical areas of computer science. We study here the role of randomization in the area of submodular function maximization. In this area, most algorithms are randomized, and in almost all c ...

Towards a scalable quantum computer

Edoardo Charbon, Fabio Sebastiano

A quantum machine may solve some complex problems that are intractable for even the most powerful classical computers. By exploiting quantum superposition and entanglement phenomena, quantum algorithms can achieve from polynomial to exponential speed up wh ...

Characterizing in-text citations in scientific articles: A large-scale analysis

Giovanni Colavizza

We report characteristics of in-text citations in over five million full text articles from two large databases – the PubMed Central Open Access subset and Elsevier journals – as functions of time, textual progression, and scientific field. The purpose of ...

How Computer Science Risks to Lose its Innocence, and Should Attempt to Take Responsibility

Karl Aberer

Computer science is playing a driving role in transforming today's society through information technology. In this transformation we observe power shifts increasingly strengthening centralised organisations, which are negatively perceived by many people. W ...

Bringing robotics into formal education using the Thymio open source hardware robot

Francesco Mondada, Léa Marie Pereyre, Michael Bonani, Stéphane Magnenat, Philippe Rétornaz, Fanny Riedo, Manon Aline Briod

Mobile robots are valuable tools for education because of both the enthusiasm they raise and the multidisciplinary nature of robotics technology. Mobile robots give access to a wide range of fields, such as complex mechanics, sensors, wireless transmission ...

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.
