Towards edible robots and robotic food

Dario Floreano, Bokeon Kwak, Markéta Pankhurst, Jun Shintake

Edible robots and robotic food — edible systems that perceive, process and act upon stimulation — could open a new range of opportunities in health care, environmental management and the promotion of healthier eating habits. For example, they could enable ...

Different health systems-Different mortality outcomes? Regional disparities in avoidable mortality across German-speaking Europe, 1992-2019

Mathias Lerch

Background: Evaluating the impact of health systems on premature mortality across different countries is a very challenging task, as it is hardly possible to disentangle it from the influence of contextual factors such as cultural differences. In this resp ...

Plant sterols and cholesterol metabolism are associated with five-year cognitive decline in the elderly population

Christopher Clark, Mehdi Gholam

Dysregulations in cholesterol metabolism are associated with neurodegenerative and vascular pathologies, and dementia. Diet-derived plant sterols (phytosterols) have cholesterol-lowering, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties and may interfere with ...

Impact of Topography on Rural Cycling Patterns: Case Study of Bugesera District, Rwanda

Jérôme Chenal, Akuto Akpedze Konou, Baraka Jean-Claude Munyaka, Rim Mrani

Rural mobility in Africa is an under-researched issue. Rural communities have often suffered from reduced mobility that has hampered their access to essential services and facilities such as education, health care, food, and clean water. In many rural comm ...

Learning curves for the multi-class teacher-student perceptron

Lenka Zdeborová, Bruno Loureiro, Elisabetta Cornacchia, Bruno Loureiro, Francesca Mignacco

One of the most classical results in high-dimensional learning theory provides a closed-form expression for the generalisation error of binary classification with a single-layer teacher-student perceptron on i.i.d. Gaussian inputs. Both Bayes-optimal (BO) ...

Fundamental Limits in Statistical Learning Problems: Block Models and Neural Networks

Elisabetta Cornacchia

This thesis focuses on two selected learning problems: 1) statistical inference on graphs models, and, 2) gradient descent on neural networks, with the common objective of defining and analysing the measures that characterize the fundamental limits. In th ...

Higher Order Asymptotics: Applications to Satellite Conjunction and Boundary Problems

Soumaya Elkantassi

Higher-order asymptotics provide accurate approximations for use in parametric statistical modelling. In this thesis, we investigate using higher-order approximations in two-specific settings, with a particular emphasis on the tangent exponential model. ...

Real world multimodal assessment of physical behavior change in health and disease

Gaëlle Prigent

Sedentary lifestyle is currently considered a global pandemic, associated with major health problems such as cardiovascular disease and premature death. Regular physical activity (PA) is one way to address this problem, as it brings a variety of health ben ...

Bed Topography Inference from Velocity Field Using Deep Learning

Christophe Ancey, Mehrdad Kiani Oshtorjani

Measuring bathymetry has always been a major scientific and technological challenge. In this work, we used a deep learning technique for inferring bathymetry from the depth-averaged velocity field. The training of the neural network is based on 5742 labora ...

Generalization and Personalization of Mobile Sensing-Based Mood Inference Models: An Analysis of College Students in Eight Countries

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Lakmal Buddika Meegahapola

Mood inference with mobile sensing data has been studied in ubicomp literature over the last decade. This inference enables context-aware and personalized user experiences in general mobile apps and valuable feedback and interventions in mobile health apps ...
