Mining Democracy

Patrick Thiran, Matthias Grossglauser, Julien Pierre Sacha Herzen, Vincent Etter

Switzerland has a long tradition of direct democracy, which makes it an ideal laboratory for research on real-world politics. Similar to recent open government initiatives launched worldwide, the Swiss government regularly releases datasets related to stat ...

Protein Domain Prediction and Alternative Splicing Histories : a Modular View

Yann Christinat

Modularity is at the core of bioinformatics. Here we focused on two different building blocks: protein domains and exons. While protein domains enable us to study the protein‚s functions, exons allow us to understand the evolution of the former. However, a ...

Evaluation of Atlas Fusion Strategies for Segmentation of Head and Neck Lymph Nodes for Radiotherapy Planning

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Subrahmanyam Venkata Ravi Mohana Sai Gorthi

Accurate segmentation of lymph nodes in head and neck (H&N) CT images is essential for the radiotherapy planning of the H&N cancer. Atlas-based segmentation methods are widely used for the automated segmentation of such structures. Multi-atlas approaches a ...

Fusion of Multi-Atlas Segmentations with Spatial Distribution Modeling

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Subrahmanyam Venkata Ravi Mohana Sai Gorthi

In recent years, multi-atlas fusion methods have gained significant attention in medical image segmentation. In this paper, we propose a general Markov Random Field (MRF) based framework that can perform edge-preserving smoothing of the labels at the time ...

Multi-Atlas based Segmentation of Head and Neck CT Images using Active Contour Framework

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Subrahmanyam Venkata Ravi Mohana Sai Gorthi

This paper presents the segmentation of bilateral parotid glands in the Head and Neck (H&N) CT images using an active contour based atlas registration. We compare segmentation results from three atlas selection strategies: (i) selection of “single-most-sim ...

Additive Combinatorics and Discrete Logarithm Based Range Protocols

Rafik Chaabouni, Helger Lipmaa

We show how to express an arbitrary integer interval

I = [0, H]

as a sumset

I = \sum_{i=1}^\ell G_i * [0, u - 1] + [0, H']

of smaller integer intervals for some small values

\ell

u

, and

H' < u - 1

, where

b * A = \{b a : a \in A\}

and $A + B = ...

Interval consensus: from quantized gossip to voting

Martin Vetterli, Patrick Thiran, Florence Bénézit

We design distributed and quantized average consensus algorithms on arbitrary connected networks. By construction, quantized algorithms cannot produce a real, analog average. Instead, our algorithm reaches consensus on the quantized interval that contains ...

'I pay enough taxes already!' Applying economic voting models to environmental referendums

Philippe Thalmann, Nicholas Bornstein

Objectives. Models of economic voting have rarely been applied to referendum votes. We fill this gap by testing citizens’ voting behavior on environmental policy in relation to their perception of the business cycle. Thus, the study examines the personal, ...
