Flight of mind: Sensorimotor and multisensory embodiment with aviation robotics, flight simulator, and virtual reality

Normally, humans experience an 'I' as residing in one's body and as the agent of one's actions. In other words, the self is experienced as being inside the body (self-location), as having a body (self-identification), and as being able to control the perso ...

Low-rank and sparse subspace modeling of speech for DNN based acoustic modeling

Hervé Bourlard, Afsaneh Asaei, Pranay Dighe

Towards the goal of improving acoustic modeling for automatic speech recognition (ASR), this work investigates the modeling of senone subspaces in deep neural network (DNN) posteriors using low-rank and sparse modeling approaches. While DNN posteriors are ...

Lyapunov Exponents for Branching Processes in a Random Environment: The Effect of Information

Sophie Myriam Hautphenne

We consider multitype branching processes evolving in a Markovian random environment. To determine whether or not the branching process becomes extinct almost surely is akin to computing the maximal Lyapunov exponent of a sequence of random matrices, which ...

Water retention behaviour of shales

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Valentina Favero

The involvement of shales in engineering fields such as the extraction of shale gas or the nuclear waste geological disposal is mainly driven by the low permeability and the high retention properties of these geomaterials. The high capillary forces develop ...

Portfolio construction under information asymmetry

Lionel Coulot

We introduce in this thesis the idea of a variable lookback model, i.e., a model whose predictions are based on a variable portion of the information set. We verify the intuition of this model in the context of experimental finance. We also propose a novel ...

Mapping interictal epileptic discharges using mutual information between concurrent EEG and fMRI

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, François Lazeyras

Objective: The mapping of haemodynamic changes related to interictal epileptic discharges (IED) in simultaneous electroencephalography (EEG) and functional MRI (fMRI) studies is usually carried out by means of EEG-correlated fMRI analyses where the EEG inf ...

Automated Reconstruction of Curvilinear Networks from 2D and 3D Imagery

Engin Türetken

Reconstructing complex curvilinear structures such as neural circuits, road networks, and blood vessels is a key challenge in many scientific and engineering fields. It has a broad range of applications, from the delineation of micrometer-sized neurons in ...

Deployment of a Pentagonal Hollow-Rope Tensegrity Module

Ian Smith, Landolf-Giosef-Anastasios Rhode-Barbarigos, Nizar Bel Hadj Ali, René Motro

Tensegrity structures are spatial reticulated structures composed of cables and struts. Tensegrity systems are good candidates for adaptive and deployable structures and thus have applications in various engineering fields. A “hollow-rope” tensegrity syste ...
