Many applications, such as content moderation and recommendation, require reviewing and scoring a large number of alternatives. Doing so robustly is however very challenging. Indeed, voters' inputs are inevitably sparse: most alternatives are only scored b ...
We study the phenomenon of intransitivity in models of dice and voting. First, we follow a recent thread of research for n-sided dice with pairwise ordering induced by the probability, relative to 1/2, that a throw from one die is higher than the other. We ...
Percolation, in its most general interpretation, refers to the “flow” of something (a physical agent, data or information) in a network, possibly accompanied by some nonlinear dynamical processes on the network nodes (sometimes denoted reaction–diffusion s ...
The open-source point cloud library (PCL) and the tools available for point cloud registration is presented. Pairwise registration is usually carried out by means of one of the several variants of the ICP algorithm. Due to the nonconvexity of the optimizat ...
The reliability of systems made of unreliable nanoelectronic devices is discussed in this paper. Massive defect density which may affect future fabrication technologies calls for novel solutions, where spatial redundancy and the voting scheme play a signif ...

Assembling partial views is an attractive means to extend the field of view of microscope images. In this paper, we propose a semi-automated solution to achieve this goal. Its intended audience is the microscopist who desires to scan a large area while acq ...
