Learnable filter-banks for CNN-based audio applications

Nicolas Aspert, Benjamin Ricaud, Laurent Colbois, Helena Peic Tukuljac

We investigate the design of a convolutional layer where kernels are parameterized functions. This layer aims at being the input layer of convolutional neural networks for audio applications or applications involving time-series. The kernels are defined as ...

Spikyball Sampling: Exploring Large Networks via an Inhomogeneous Filtered Diffusion

Nicolas Aspert, Benjamin Ricaud, Volodymyr Miz

Studying real-world networks such as social networks or web networks is a challenge. These networks often combine a complex, highly connected structure together with a large size. We propose a new approach for large scale networks that is able to automatic ...

What is Trending on Wikipedia? Capturing Trends and Language Biases Across Wikipedia Editions

Nicolas Aspert, Pierre Vandergheynst, Benjamin Ricaud, Volodymyr Miz, Joëlle Hanna

In this work, we propose an automatic evaluation and comparison of the browsing behavior of Wikipedia readers that can be applied to any language editions of Wikipedia. As an example, we focus on English, French, and Russian languages during the last four ...

Numerical parametric lens for shifting, magnification and complete aberration compensation in digital holographic microscopy

Tristan Colomb, Frédéric Montfort, Stéphane Bourquin, Etienne Cuche, Christian Depeursinge, Pierre Marquet, Nicolas Aspert, Jonas Kühn, Florian Charrière, Mihaela Marian

The concept of numerical parametric lenses (NPL) is introduced to achieve wavefront reconstruction in digital holography. It is shown that operations usually performed by optical components and described in ray geometrical optics, such as image shifting, m ...

Automatic procedure for aberration compensation in digital holographic microscopy and applications to specimen shape compensation

Tristan Colomb, Frédéric Montfort, Etienne Cuche, Christian Depeursinge, Pierre Marquet, Nicolas Aspert, Jonas Kühn, Florian Charrière

We present a procedure that compensates for phase aberrations in digital holographic microscopy by computing a polynomial phase mask directly from the hologram. The phase-mask parameters are computed automatically without knowledge of physical values such ...

Total aberrations compensation in digital holographic microscopy with a reference conjugated hologram

Tristan Colomb, Christian Depeursinge, Pierre Marquet, Nicolas Aspert, Jonas Kühn, Florian Charrière

In this paper we present a new method to achieve quantitative phase contrast imaging in Digital Holographic Microscopy (DHM) that allows to compensate for phase aberrations and image distortion by recording of a single reference hologram.We demonstrate tha ...
