Scalable Logic Rewriting Using Don’t Cares

Giovanni De Micheli, Alessandro Tempia Calvino

Logic rewriting is a powerful optimization technique that replaces small sections of a Boolean network with better implementations. Typically, exact synthesis is used to compute optimum replacement on-the-fly, with possible support for Boolean don't cares. ...

Composite Relationship Fields with Transformers for Scene Graph Generation

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, George Adaimi, David Mizrahi

Scene graph generation (SGG) methods extract relationships between objects. While most methods focus on improving top-down approaches, which build a scene graph based on detected objects from an off-the-shelf object detector, there is a limited amount of w ...

Recycling of Load-Bearing 3D Printable Double Network Granular Hydrogels

Esther Amstad, Matteo Hirsch, Alvaro Lino Boris Charlet, Sanjay Phileas Schreiber

Sustainable materials, such as recyclable polymers, become increasingly important as they are often environmentally friendlier than their one-time-use counterparts. In parallel, the trend toward more customized products demands for fast prototyping methods ...

Cross Modal Focal Loss for RGBD Face Anti-Spoofing

Sébastien Marcel

Automatic methods for detecting presentation attacks are essential to ensure the reliable use of facial recognition technology. Most of the methods available in the litera- ture for presentation attack detection (PAD) fails in gen- eralizing to unseen atta ...

Bioluminescent-based imaging and quantification of glucose uptake in vivo

Riccardo Sinisi, Elena Goun, Pavlo Khodakivskyi, Arkadiy Bazhin, Aleksey Yevtodiyenko, Tamara Maric, Georgy Mikhaylov

Glucose is a major source of energy for most living organisms, and its aberrant uptake is linked to many pathological conditions. However, our understanding of disease-associated glucose flux is limited owing to the lack of robust tools. To date, positron- ...

Einsatz von Nichtmarktstrategien durch oeffentliche Unternehmen gegenueber dem Staat : Untersuchung am Beispiel der Schweizerischen Post AG

Carole Juliane Isabelle Rentsch

Public enterprises operate in the area between the opposing poles of state and market. On the one hand they must meet a wide range of political expectations, and on the other they must fulfil commercial efficiency criteria. This dissertation addresses how ...

Uniqueness of equilibrium in a payment system with liquidation costs

Damir Filipovic, Léo Hamed Amini

We study a financial network where forced liquidations of an illiquid asset have a negative impact on its price, thus reinforcing network contagion. We give conditions for uniqueness of the clearing asset price and liability payments. Our main result holds ...

On Rendering Synthetic Images for Training an Object Detector

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Artem Rozantsev

We propose a novel approach to synthesizing images that are effective for training object detectors. Starting from a small set of real images, our algorithm estimates the rendering parameters required to synthesize similar images given a coarse 3D model of ...

A microfluidic flow-cell for the study of the ultrafast dynamics of biological systems

Majed Chergui, Adrien Alexis Paul Chauvet

The study of biochemical dynamics by ultrafast spectroscopic methods is often restricted by the limited amount of liquid sample available, while the high repetition rate of light sources can induce photodamage. In order to overcome these limitations, we de ...

Applying Multi- and Cross-Lingual Stochastic Phone Space Transformations to Non-Native Speech Recognition

Hervé Bourlard, Mathew Magimai Doss, Philip Neil Garner, John David Scott Dines, David Imseng

In the context of hybrid HMM/MLP Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), this paper describes an investigation into a new type of stochastic phone space transformation, which maps "source" phone (or phone HMM state) posterior probabilities (as obtained at the ...

Piecewise non-linear constant life diagram formulation for FRP composite materials

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Behzad Dehghan Manshadi

A new formulation for predicting an asymmetric, piecewise non-linear constant life diagram (CLD) is introduced in this paper. The development of the new model is based on the representation of the fatigue data on the stress ratio (R)-stress amplitude (σa) ...

Optimal Channel Choice for Collaborative Ad-Hoc Dissemination

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Milan Vojnovic

Collaborative ad-hoc dissemination of information has been proposed as an efficient means to disseminate information among devices in a wireless ad-hoc network. Devices help in forwarding the information channels to the entire network, by disseminating the ...

Register File Reliability Analysis Through Cycle-Accurate Thermal Emulation

David Atienza Alonso, Pablo Garcia del Valle, José Luis Ayala Rodrigo

Continuous transistor scaling due to improvements in CMOS devices and manufacturing technologies is increasing processor power densities and temperatures; thus, creating challenges when trying to maintain manufacturing yield rates and devices which will be ...

A Dynamically Constrained Genetic Algorithm For Hardware-software Partitioning

Pierre-André Mudry, Guillaume Zufferey

In this article, we describe the application of an enhanced genetic algorithm to the problem of hardware-software codesign. Starting from a source code written in a high-level language our algorithm determines, using a dynamically-weighted fitness function ...
