Improved calorimetric particle identification in NA62 using machine learning techniques

Alessandro Mapelli, Radoslav Marchevski, Alina Kleimenova

Measurement of the ultra-rare K+ -> pi(+)nu(nu) over bar over bar decay at the NA62 experiment at CERN requires high-performance particle identification to distinguish muons from pions. Calorimetric identification currently in use, based on a boosted decis ...

Prospects for B-c(+) -> tau(+)nu(tau) at FCC-ee

Donal Patrick Hill, Clement Helsens, Marie Hartmann

This paper presents the prospects for a precise measurement of the branching fraction of the leptonic B-c(+) -> tau(+)nu(tau) decay at the Future Circular Collider (FCC-ee) running at the Z-pole. A detailed description of the simulation and analysis framew ...

Dirac vs. Majorana HNLs (and their oscillations) at SHiP

Inar Timiryasov

SHiP is a proposed high-intensity beam dump experiment set to operate at the CERN SPS. It is expected to have an unprecedented sensitivity to a variety of models containing feebly interacting particles, such as Heavy Neutral Leptons (HNLs). Two HNLs or mor ...

Adaptive Sampling for Large Scale Boosting

François Fleuret, Charles Dubout

Classical Boosting algorithms, such as AdaBoost, build a strong classifier without concern for the computational cost. Some applications, in particular in computer vision, may involve millions of training examples and very large feature spaces. In such con ...

Learning decision rules for energy efficient building control

Colin Neil Jones

While rule based control (RBC) is current practice in most building automation systems that issue discrete control signals, recent simulation studies suggest that advanced, optimization based control methods such as hybrid model predictive control (HMPC) c ...

Boosting Binary Keypoint Descriptors

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Tomasz Piotr Trzcinski, Christos Marios Christoudias

Binary keypoint descriptors provide an efficient alternative to their floating-point competitors as they enable faster processing while requiring less memory. In this paper, we propose a novel framework to learn an extremely compact binary descriptor we ca ...

Learning Near-optimal Decision Rules for Energy Efficient Building Control

Colin Neil Jones

Recent studies suggest that advanced optimization based control methods such as model predictive control (MPC) can increase energy efficiency of buildings. However, adoption of these methods by industry is still slow, as building operators are used to work ...

Multivariate Boosting with Look-Up Tables for Face Processing

Cosmin Atanasoaei

This thesis proposes a novel unified boosting framework. We apply this framework to the several face processing tasks, face detection, facial feature localisation, and pose classification, and use the same boosting algorithm and the same pool of features ( ...

Measurement of the atmospheric neutrino energy spectrum from 100 GeV to 400 TeV with IceCube

Shirit Cohen, Mathieu Ribordy, Matthias Wolf, Xiaoxia Bai

A measurement of the atmospheric muon neutrino energy spectrum from 100 GeV to 400 TeV was performed using a data sample of about 18 000 up-going atmospheric muon neutrino events in IceCube. Boosted decision trees were used for event selection to reject mi ...

Random Forest Models for Identifying Motorway Rear-End Crash Risks Using Disaggregate Traffic Data and Meteorological Information

André-Gilles Dumont, Ashish Bhaskar, Edward Chung, Minh Hai Pham

This paper presents an approach to develop motorway Rear-End Crash Risk Identification Models (RECRIM) using disaggregate traffic data, meteorological data and crash database for a study site at a two-lane-per-direction section on Swiss right-hand driving ...

Fast Ray Features for Learning Irregular Shapes

Vincent Lepetit, Kevin Smith

We introduce a new class of image features, the Ray feature set, that consider image characteristics at distant contour points, capturing information which is difficult to represent with standard feature sets. This property allows Ray features to efficient ...

On Data-Centric Trust Establishment in Ephemeral Ad Hoc Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Maxime Raya

We argue that the traditional notion of trust as a relation among entities, while useful, becomes insu±cient in ephemeral ad hoc networks. In this paper, we address the challenge of extending the traditional notion of trust to data-centric trust, that is, ...
