An Open-Hardware Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Array for Edge Computing

David Atienza Alonso, Giovanni Ansaloni, José Angel Miranda Calero, Juan Pablo Sapriza Araujo, Rubén Rodríguez Álvarez, Benoît Walter Denkinger, Ruben Rodriguez

In this work, we propose an open-hardware low-power coarse-grained reconfigurable array connected to a lightweight microcontroller and enclosed in an application mapping framework. The latter provides complete support to configure kernels in the reconfigur ...

Dual-Arm Control for Coordinated Fast Grabbing and Tossing of an Object

Aude Billard, Michael Bosongo Bombile

Picking up objects to toss them on a conveyor belt are activities generated on a daily basis in the industry. These tasks are still done largely by humans. This paper proposes a unified motion generator for a bimanual robotic systems that enables two 7 deg ...

Supporting Developers in Creating Web Apps for Education via an App Development Framework

Denis Gillet, Juan Carlos Farah, Sandy Ingram

As more educational activities are conducted online, the need for interactive applications (apps) that can effectively support educators in their practice is increasing. These apps are often created by web developers or by researchers, educators, and even ...

Deep Boltzmann Machines: Rigorous Results at Arbitrary Depth

Emanuele Mingione, Diego Alberici

A class of deep Boltzmann machines is considered in the simplified framework of a quenched system with Gaussian noise and independent entries. The quenched pressure of a K-layers spin glass model is studied allowing interactions only among consecutive laye ...

Getting more from many - A framework of community resourcefulness in new venture creation

Emmanuelle Fauchart Foray, Julia Katharina Binder, Christina Julia Hertel

In this study, we move beyond the predominant focus entrepreneurship researchers have put on the acquisition of financial capital from professional investors by exploring how, and with what effects, entrepreneurs can mobilize all required resources?financi ...

Data Handling in Industry 4.0: Interoperability Based on Distributed Ledger Technology

Xiaochen Zheng

Information-intensive transformation is vital to realize the Industry 4.0 paradigm, where processes, systems, and people are in a connected environment. Current factories must combine different sources of knowledge with different technological layers. Taki ...

Data assimilation of in situ and satellite remote sensing data to 3D hydrodynamic lake models: a case study using Delft3D-FLOW v4.03 and OpenDA v2.4

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Theo Baracchini

The understanding of physical dynamics is crucial to provide scientifically credible information on lake ecosystem management. We show how the combination of in situ observations, remote sensing data, and three-dimensional hydrodynamic (3D) numerical simul ...

On flow duration curve modelling in Alpine catchments

Ana Clara Pereira Barbosa Santos

Mountain regions are considered to be the natural "water towers" of the world due to their importance as sources of many rivers. Reliable tools to estimate the availability and variability of streamflows in such regions are still rare. In this context, the ...

Appearance of polished 18 karat gold surfaces: linking aesthetics to surface features

Leili Batooli

Impeccable appearance of surfaces is a key constraint in high-end jewelry and watch manufacturing. Based on long tradition in the industry, appearance of products is assessed by trained individuals through visual inspection in designated intervals on the p ...

Compilation Techniques for Incremental Collection Processing

Daniel Lupei

Many map-reduce frameworks as well as NoSQL systems rely on collection programming as their interface of choice due to its rich semantics along with an easily parallelizable set of primitives. Unfortunately, the potential of collection programming is not ...

A Universal Primal-Dual Convex Optimization Framework

Volkan Cevher, Quoc Tran Dinh, Alp Yurtsever

We propose a new primal-dual algorithmic framework for a prototypical con- strained convex optimization template. The algorithmic instances of our frame- work are universal since they can automatically adapt to the unknown Ho ̈lder con- tinuity properties ...

Reconstruction of Finite Rate of Innovation Signals with Model-Fitting Approach

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Thierry Blu, Zafer Dogan

Finite rate of innovation (FRI) is a recent framework for sampling and reconstruction of a large class of parametric signals that are characterized by finite number of innovations (parameters) per unit interval. In the absence of noise, exact recovery of F ...

Privacy-Preserving Schema Reuse

Karl Aberer, Quoc Viet Hung Nguyen, Thành Tâm Nguyên, Son Thanh Do

As the number of schema repositories grows rapidly and several web-based platforms exist to support publishing schemas, \emph{schema reuse} becomes a new trend. Schema reuse is a methodology that allows users to create new schemas by copying and adapting e ...

Automatic Color Palette Creation from Words

Sabine Süsstrunk, Albrecht Johannes Lindner

We present an automatic framework to extract color palettes from words. This is a novel approach in comparison to existing solutions, e.g. manual creation or extraction from images. The associations between words and colors are deduced from a large databas ...

Challenges in Algorithmic Mechanism Design

Paul David Dütting

This thesis addresses three challenges in algorithmic mechanism design, which seeks to devise computationally efficient mechanisms consisting of an outcome rule and a payment rule that implement desirable outcomes in strategic equilibrium. The first challe ...

A reduced-order strategy for solving inverse Bayesian shape identication problems in physiological flows

Alfio Quarteroni, Gianluigi Rozza, Andrea Manzoni, Toni Mikael Lassila

A reduced-order strategy based on the reduced basis (RB) method is developed for the efficient numerical solution of statistical inverse problems governed by PDEs in domains of varying shape. Usual discretization techniques are infeasible in this context, ...

What is the color of chocolate? - extracting color values of semantic expressions

Sabine Süsstrunk, Albrecht Johannes Lindner

We present a statistical framework to automatically determine an associated color for a given arbitrary semantic expression. The expression can not only be a color name but any word or character string. In addition to the color value, we are also able to c ...

Lightweight Modular Staging: A Pragmatic Approach to Runtime Code Generation and Compiled DSLs

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf

Good software engineering practice demands generalization and abstraction, whereas high performance demands specialization and concretization. These goals are at odds, and compilers can only rarely translate expressive high-level programs to modern hardwar ...

Lightweight Modular Staging and Embedded Compilers : Abstraction without Regret for High-Level High-Performance Programming

Tiark Rompf

Programs expressed in a high-level programming language need to be translated to a low-level machine dialect for execution. This translation is usually accomplished by a compiler, which is able to translate any legal program to equivalent low-level code. B ...

Bayesian Rendezvous for Distributed Robotic Systems

Alcherio Martinoli, Sven Adrian Gowal

In this paper, we state, using thorough mathe- matical analysis, sufficient conditions to perform a rendezvous maneuver with a group of differential-wheeled robots endowed with an on-board, noisy, local positioning system. In particular, we extend the exis ...
