Generalized Bradley-Terry Models for Score Estimation from Paired Comparisons

Sadegh Farhadkhani, Oscar Jean Olivier Villemaud, Julien René Pierre Fageot, Le Nguyen Hoang

Many applications, e.g. in content recommendation, sports, or recruitment, leverage the comparisons of alternatives to score those alternatives. The classical Bradley-Terry model and its variants have been widely used to do so. The historical model conside ...

PoGaIN: Poisson-Gaussian Image Noise Modeling From Paired Samples

Sabine Süsstrunk, Majed El Helou, Kaan Okumus

Image noise can often be accurately fitted to a Poisson-Gaussian distribution. However, estimating the distribution parameters from a noisy image only is a challenging task. Here, we study the case when paired noisy and noise-free samples are accessible. N ...

Multi-Region Network Perimeter Control via Model Free Adaptive Iterative Learning Control

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Isik Ilber Sirmatel, Ye Ren

Most perimeter control methods in literature are the model-based schemes. However, accurate modeling of the traffic flow system is hard and time-consuming. On the other hand, macroscopic traffic flow patterns show heavily similarity between days, and data ...

On some graph-based two-sample tests for high dimension, low sample size data

Soham Sarkar

Testing for equality of two high-dimensional distributions is a challenging problem, and this becomes even more challenging when the sample size is small. Over the last few decades, several graph-based two-sample tests have been proposed in the literature, ...

Shooting shots: Estimating alcoholic drink sizes in real life using event-level reports and annotations of close-up pictures

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Thanh Trung Phan

Introduction and Aims Drinks consumed in real life are diverse, in terms of beverage type, container size and alcohol by volume. To date, most ecological momentary assessment studies have assessed drinking amounts with 'standard' drinks, although their eve ...

Comparison of gait characteristics between clinical and daily life settings in children with cerebral palsy

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Lena Carcreff, Stéphane Armand

Gait assessments in standardized settings, as part of the clinical follow-up of children with cerebral palsy (CP), may not represent gait in daily life. This study aimed at comparing gait characteristics in laboratory and real life settings on the basis of ...

A machine learning approach based on generative topographic mapping for disruption prevention and avoidance at JET

Alessandro Pau

The need for predictive capabilities greater than 95% with very limited false alarms are demanding requirements for reliable disruption prediction systems in tokamaks such as JET or, in the near future, ITER. The prediction of an upcoming disruption must b ...

Total Correlation of Gaussian Vector Sources on the Gray–Wyner Network

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Guillaume Jean Op 't Veld

We study a generalization of Wyner’s Common Information to Watanabe’s Total Correlation. The first minimizes the description size required for a variable that can make two other random variables conditionally independent. If independence is unattainable, W ...

Predicting ambient aerosol thermal-optical reflectance (TOR) measurements from infrared spectra: organic carbon

Satoshi Takahama

Organic carbon (OC) can constitute 50% or more of the mass of atmospheric particulate matter. Typically, organic carbon is measured from a quartz fiber filter that has been exposed to a volume of ambient air and analyzed using thermal methods such as therm ...
