On the Almost Sure Convergence of Stochastic Gradient Descent in Non-Convex Problems

Volkan Cevher, Ali Kavis, Shaul Nadav Hallak

This paper analyzes the trajectories of stochastic gradient descent (SGD) to help understand the algorithm’s convergence properties in non-convex problems. We first show that the sequence of iterates generated by SGD remains bounded and converges with prob ...

Walkman: A Communication-Efficient Random-Walk Algorithm for Decentralized Optimization

Ali H. Sayed, Kun Yuan

This paper introduces a new algorithm for consensus optimization in a multi-agent network, where all agents collaboratively find a minimizer for the sum of their private functions. All decentralized algorithms rely on communications between adjacent nodes. ...

ECOGreen: Electricity Cost Optimization for Green Datacenters in Emerging Power Markets

David Atienza Alonso, Marina Zapater Sancho, Ayse Kivilcim Coskun, Ali Pahlevan

Modern datacenters need to tackle efficiently the increasing demand for computing resources while minimizing energy usage and monetary costs. Power market operators have recently introduced emerging demand-response programs, in which electricity consumers ...

Siting and Sizing of Energy Storage Systems: Towards a Unified Approach for Transmission and Distribution System Operators for Reserve Provision and Grid Support

Mario Paolone, Fabrizio Sossan, Paola Pongiglione

This paper presents a method to determine the optimal location, energy capacity, and power rating of distributed battery energy storage systems at multiple voltage levels to accomplish grid control and reserve provision. We model operational scenarios at a ...

Underground Pumped Storage Hydropower Case Studies in Belgium: Perspectives and Challenges

Elena Vagnoni, Alessandro Morabito

To avoid the geographical and topographical prerequisites of the conventional pumped hydro energy storage, the use of underground cavities as water reservoirs allows countries without steep topography, such as Belgium, to increase the potential of the ener ...

Renewable energy storage via CO2 and H-2 conversion to methane and methanol: Assessment for small scale applications

Andreas Züttel, Emanuele Moioli, Robin Tobias Andreas Mutschler

This study analyses the power to methane - and to methanol processes in the view of their efficiency in energy storage. A systematic investigation of the differences on the two production systems is performed. The energy storage potential of CO2 to methano ...

Penalization and Bayesian numerical methods for multiscale inverse problems

Andrea Di Blasio

In this thesis we consider inverse problems involving multiscale elliptic partial differential equations. The name multiscale indicates that these models are characterized by the presence of parameters which vary on different spatial scales (macroscopic, m ...

Efficient Base-Metal NiMn/TiO2 Catalyst for CO2 Methanation

Andreas Züttel, Emanuele Moioli, Wei Chen

Energy storage solutions are a vital component of the global transition toward renewable energy sources. The power-to-gas (PtG) concept, which stores surplus renewable energy in the form of methane, has therefore become increasingly relevant in recent year ...

Convergence Of Variance-Reduced Learning Under Random Reshuffling

Ali H. Sayed, Bicheng Ying, Kun Yuan

Several useful variance-reduced stochastic gradient algorithms, such as SVRG, SAGA, Finito, and SAG, have been proposed to minimize empirical risks with linear convergence properties to the exact minimizers. The existing convergence results assume uniform ...

Development of a nano-adjuvant cancer vaccine and its evaluation for melanoma in combination with radiotherapy

Sylvie Hauert

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world and melanoma is the deadliest type of skin cancer. Although surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are still standard treatments, the discovery of the role played by the immune system in cancer has a ...
