Why converging technologies need converging international regulation

Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, gene editing, nanotechnology, neurotechnology and robotics, which were originally unrelated or separated, are becoming more closely integrated. Consequently, the boundaries between the physical-biologi ...

MultiModN- Multimodal, Multi-Task, Interpretable Modular Networks

Martin Jaggi, Mary-Anne Hartley, Vinitra Swamy, Thierry Bossy, Tanja Christina Käser Jacober, Thijs Vogels, Malika Satayeva, Jibril Albachir Frej

Predicting multiple real-world tasks in a single model often requires a particularly diverse feature space. Multimodal (MM) models aim to extract the synergistic predictive potential of multiple data types to create a shared feature space with aligned sema ...

Arbitrary Decisions are a Hidden Cost of Differentially Private Training

Carmela González Troncoso, Bogdan Kulynych

Mechanisms used in privacy-preserving machine learning often aim to guarantee differential privacy (DP) during model training. Practical DP-ensuring training methods use randomization when fitting model parameters to privacy-sensitive data (e.g., adding Ga ...

Microstructure informed tractography: pitfalls and open challenges

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Alessandro Daducci, Maxime Descoteaux

One of the major limitations of diffusion MRI tractography is that the fiber tracts recovered by existing algorithms are not truly quantitative. Local techniques for estimating more quantitative features of the tissue microstructure exist, but their combin ...

Une fabrique de la société-Monde, Internet entre technique et politique mondiale

Luc Guillemot

The Internet is a place made of worldwide interactions, and as such it is an environment of the World. Its technical specifications gather opposing views concerning relations to the World, which coincide nevertheless in the recognition of fundamental right ...

Normalization and correlation of cross-nested logit models

Michel Bierlaire, Emmanuel Abbé

We address two fundamental issues associated with the use of cross-nested logit models. On the one hand, we justify the adequate normalization of the model proposed by Wen and Koppelman (2001). On the other hand, we provide an analysis of the correlation s ...

Biologically Inspired Multimodal Integration: Interferences in a Human-Robot Interaction Game

Aude Billard, Eric Sauser

This paper presents a biologically inspired approach to multimodal integration and decision-making in the context of human-robot interactions. More specifically, we address the principle of ideomotor compatibility by which observing the movements of others ...
