Climatic Affinities or Type As A Structure Of Relations, Based On Typological Transfer In The Work Of Lacaton & Vassal And Other Similar Precedents

It is a generally accepted idea that typology is an essential element in the disciplinary dimension of architecture. The concept of typology, in its most common definition, is sufficiently malleable to cover a wide range of uses, but it is also this vaguen ...

Multi-Robot 3D Gas Distribution Mapping: Coordination, Information Sharing and Environmental Knowledge

Alcherio Martinoli, Chiara Ercolani, Thomas Laurent Peeters

Environmental monitoring and mapping operations are an essential tool to combat climate change. An important branch of this domain concerns the construction of reliable gas maps. Adaptive navigation strategies coupled with multi-robot systems improve the o ...

Social Workers and Irregular Migrants in the Assistance Circuit: Making Sense of Paradoxical Inclusion

Maxime Carl Felder, Joan Stavo-Debauge, Sahar Fneich

Despite restrictive policy frameworks, cities sometimes provide support to irregular migrants. Scholars have analysed these forms of inclusion, focusing on policies and tensions between inclusionary approaches by local or urban actors and exclusionary appr ...

Equivalence Checking for Orthocomplemented Bisemilattices in Log-Linear Time

Viktor Kuncak, Simon Guilloud

We present a quasilinear time algorithm to decide the word problem on a natural algebraic structures we call orthocomplemented bisemilattices, a subtheory of boolean algebra. We use as a base a variation of Hopcroft, Ullman and Aho algorithm for tree isomo ...

Self-Supervised Neural Topic Modeling

Martin Jaggi

Topic models are useful tools for analyzing and interpreting the main underlying themes of large corpora of text. Most topic models rely on word co-occurrence for computing a topic, i.e., a weighted set of words that together represent a high-level semanti ...

Further results on latent discourse models and word embeddings

Youssef Allouah

We discuss some properties of generative models for word embeddings. Namely, (Arora et al., 2016) proposed a latent discourse model implying the concentration of the partition function of the word vectors. This concentration phenomenon led to an asymptotic ...

Crosslingual Document Embedding as Reduced-Rank Ridge Regression

Martin Jaggi, Robert West, Martin Josifoski, Ivan Paskov

There has recently been much interest in extending vector-based word representations to multiple languages, such that words can be compared across languages. In this paper, we shift the focus from words to documents and introduce a method for embedding doc ...

Transverse Detection of DNA Using a MoS2 Nanopore

Aleksandra Radenovic, Martina Lihter, Michael Graf, Sanjin Marion

Classical nanopore sensing relies on the measurement of the ion current passing through a nanopore. Whenever a molecule electrophoretically translocates through the narrow constriction, it modulates the ion current. Although this approach allows one to mea ...

Word Sense Consistency in Statistical and Neural Machine Translation

Xiao Pu

Different senses of source words must often be rendered by different words in the target language when performing machine translation (MT). Selecting the correct translation of polysemous words can be done based on the contexts of use. However, state-of-th ...

On Modeling the Synergy Between Acoustic and Lexical Information for Pronunciation Lexicon Development

Marzieh Razavi

State-of-the-art automatic speech recognition (ASR) and text-to-speech systems require a pronunciation lexicon that maps each word to a sequence of phones. Manual development of lexicons is costly as it needs linguistic knowledge and human expertise. To fa ...

Word Embeddings for Natural Language Processing

Rémi Philippe Lebret

Word embedding is a feature learning technique which aims at mapping words from a vocabulary into vectors of real numbers in a low-dimensional space. By leveraging large corpora of unlabeled text, such continuous space representations can be computed for c ...

An Evaluation of Diversification Techniques

Karl Aberer, Quoc Viet Hung Nguyen, Thành Tâm Nguyên

Diversification is a method of improving user satisfaction by increasing the variety of information shown to user. Due to the lack of a precise definition of information variety, many diversification techniques have been proposed. These techniques, however ...

Rehabilitation of Count-based Models for Word Vector Representations

Rémi Philippe Lebret, Ronan Collobert

Recent works on word representations mostly rely on predictive models. Distributed word representations (aka word embeddings) are trained to optimally predict the contexts in which the corresponding words tend to appear. Such models have succeeded in captu ...

Goodwillie calculus and Whitehead products

Jérôme Scherer

We prove that iterated Whitehead products of length. (n+1) vanish in any value of an n-excisive functor in the sense of Goodwillie. We compare then different notions of homotopy nilpotency, from the Berstein-Ganea definition to the Biedermann-Dwyer one. Th ...

Characterizing Embodied Interaction in First and Third Person Perspective Viewpoints

Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Eray Molla, Henrique Galvan Debarba

Third Person Perspective (3PP) viewpoints have the potential to expand how one perceives and acts in a virtual environment. They offer increased awareness of the posture and of the surrounding of the virtual body as compared to First Person Perspective (1P ...

A Precise Threshold For Quasi-Ramsey Numbers

János Pach

We consider the variation of Ramsey numbers introduced by Erdos and Pach [J. Graph Theory, 7 (1983), pp. 137-147], where instead of seeking complete or independent sets we only seek a t-homogeneous set, a vertex subset that induces a subgraph of minimum de ...
