Modelling and design of CMOS SPAD sensors for quantum random number generation

Modern digital connectivity has necessitated the creation of robust methods for securely storing and transferring data. At the heart of all security infrastructure is the random number generator (RNG). While random numbers find use in a variety of applicat ...

Learning continuous-time working memory tasks with on-policy neural reinforcement learning

Davide Zambrano

An animals' ability to learn how to make decisions based on sensory evidence is often well described by Reinforcement Learning (RL) frameworks. These frameworks, however, typically apply to event-based representations and lack the explicit and fine-grained ...

Probabilistic small data global Well-Posedness of the energy-critical Maxwell-Klein-Gordon equation

Joachim Krieger

We establish probabilistic small data global well-posedness of the energy-critical Maxwell-Klein-Gordon equation relative to the Coulomb gauge for scaling super-critical random initial data. The proof relies on an induction on frequency procedure and a mod ...

Max-infinitely divisible models and inference for spatial extremes

Emeric Rolland Georges Thibaud, Raphaël Huser

For many environmental processes, recent studies have shown that the dependence strength is decreasing when quantile levels increase. This implies that the popular max-stable models are inadequate to capture the rate of joint tail decay, and to estimate jo ...

Multivariate extremes over a random number of observations

Simone Padoan, Stefano Rizzelli

The classical multivariate extreme-value theory concerns the modeling of extremes in a multivariate random sample, suggesting the use of max-stable distributions. In this work, the classical theory is extended to the case where aggregated data, such as max ...

A methodology for the rigorous verification of Particle-in-Cell simulations

Paolo Ricci, Fabio Riva, Carrie Fiona Beadle

A methodology to perform a rigorous verification of Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations is presented, both for assessing the correct implementation of the model equations (code verification), and evaluating the numerical uncertainty affecting the simulation ...

Verification and validation procedures with applications to plasma-edge turbulence simulations

Fabio Riva

Understanding the plasma dynamics in tokamaks is of fundamental importance to reliably predict the performances of future fusion devices. Because of the complex phenomena at play, state-of-the-art simulation codes are needed to investigate the plasma dynam ...

Error Analysis of the Dynamically Orthogonal Approximation of Time Dependent Random PDEs

Fabio Nobile, Eleonora Musharbash

In this work we discuss the dynamically orthogonal (DO) approximation of time dependent partial differential equations with random data. The approximate solution is expanded at each time instant on a time dependent orthonormal basis in the physical domain ...

Compressed Sensing of Memoryless Sources : A Deterministic Hadamard Construction

Saeid Haghighatshoar

Compressed sensing is a new trend in signal processing for efficient sampling and signal acquisition. The idea is that most real-world signals have a sparse representation in an appropriate basis and this can be exploited to capture the sparse signal by ta ...

Blind Sensor Calibration in Sparse Recovery Using Convex Optimization

Rémi Gribonval, Gilles Puy

We investigate a compressive sensing system in which the sensors introduce a distortion to the measurements in the form of unknown gains. We focus on blind calibration, using measures performed on a few unknown (but sparse) signals. We extend our earlier s ...

How are non-retinotopic motion signals integrated? -A high-density EEG study

Michael Herzog, Gijs Plomp, Yvonne Evelina Thunell

Objects moving in the visual scene cause retinal displacements that are not the result of motor commands and thus cannot be accounted for by efference copies. Yet, we easily keep track of moving objects even without following them with our gaze. Here, we i ...

Combinatorial expression rules of ion channel genes in juvenile rat (Rattus norvegicus) neocortical neurons

Henry Markram, Felix Schürmann, Georges Khazen

The electrical diversity of neurons arises from the expression of different combinations of ion channels. The gene expression rules governing these combinations are not known. We examined the expression of twenty-six ion channel genes in a broad range of s ...

Multiframe SURE-LET denoising of timelapse fluorescence microscopy images

Michaël Unser, Thierry Blu, Saskia Joëlle Delpretti Anex, Florian Luisier, Sathish Ramani

Due to the random nature of photon emission and the various internal noise sources of the detectors, real timelapse fluorescence microscopy images are usually modeled as the sum of a Poisson process plus some Gaussian white noise. In this paper, we propose ...

Hash-and-Sign with Weak Hashing Made Secure

Serge Vaudenay, Sylvain Pasini

Digital signatures are often proven to be secure in the random oracle model while hash functions deviate more and more from this idealization. Liskov proposed to model a weak hash function by a random oracle together with another oracle allowing to break s ...

Large scale selective event dissemination

Sidath Handurukande

Event-based systems usually denote distributed infrastructures that are used to asynchronously disseminate information among geographically distant computing units. In these systems, the information sources (a.k.a. publishers) produce events and the system ...
