Framework to Approximate the Value of Information of Bridge Load Testing for Reserve Capacity Assessment
Ian Smith, Numa Joy Bertola, Marco Proverbio
In developed countries, structural assessment of existing bridges should not be performed using the same conservative models that are used at the design stage. Field measurements of real behavior provide additional information for the inference of previous ...
2020Convolutional Relational Machine for Group Activity Recognition
We present an end-to-end deep Convolutional Neural Network called Convolutional Relational Machine (CRM) for recognizing group activities that utilizes the information in spatial relationsbetween individualpersons in image or video. It learns to produce an ...
IEEE2019Mapping Affinities in Academic Organizations
Frédéric Kaplan, Boris Beaude, Dario Rodighiero
Scholarly affinities are one of the most fundamental hidden dynamics that drive scientific development. Some affinities are actual, and consequently can be measured through classical academic metrics such as co-authoring. Other affinities are potential, an ...
2018Portfolio construction under information asymmetry
We introduce in this thesis the idea of a variable lookback model, i.e., a model whose predictions are based on a variable portion of the information set. We verify the intuition of this model in the context of experimental finance. We also propose a novel ...
EPFL2013Redundant information encoding in primary motor cortex during natural and prosthetic motor control
Redundant encoding of information facilitates reliable distributed information processing. To explore this hypothesis in the motor system, we applied concepts from information theory to quantify the redundancy of movement-related information encoded in the ...
Springer Verlag2012Anthropic Correction of Information Estimates and Its Application to Neural Coding
Information theory has been used as an organizing principle in neuroscience for several decades. Estimates of the mutual information (MI) between signals acquired in neurophysiological experiments are believed to yield insights into the structure of the un ...
2010On the Importance of Spatial Configuration of Information
Pierre Dillenbourg, Frédéric Kaplan, Hamed Seiied Alavi
The spatial layout of information influences collaborative interactions. We compared two awareness tools which give information on the status of participants in a collaborative work, one displaying it on a single screen and the other distributing it in the ...
2009D-475 days, on the way towards the Library of the Rolex Learning Center of the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland
EPFL is bulduing its Rolex Learning Center, which will be inaugurated in 2010. Point of entry to EPFL, the Learning Center will be a place where to learn, to obtain information, and to live. It will become a place where virtual and physical components comb ...
2008Lindane and Technical HCH Residues in Indian Soils and Sediments: A Critical Appraisal
Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel, Sylvie Vullioud-Marcacci
Even at low residue concentrations, persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are of increasing concern all over the world. They include numerous organochlorine pesticides, like hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), known for its toxicity, lipophilic properties and very ...
2004Coping with False Accusations in Misbehavior Reputation Systems for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks
Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Sonja Buchegger
Some misbehavior detection and reputation systems in mobile ad-hoc networks rely on the dissemination of information of observed behavior, which makes them vulnerable to false accusations. This vulnerability could be removed by forbidding the dissemination ...
