Fully data-driven and modular building thermal control with physically consistent modeling

Machine learning has experienced significant growth in the smart building sector, whether for building modeling or energy management. Data-driven approaches leverage available measurements to bypass the slow and costly calibration of physics-based models, ...

Shuffled multi-channel sparse signal recovery

Benjamin Bejar Haro

Mismatches between samples and their respective channel or target commonly arise in several real-world applications. For instance, whole-brain calcium imaging of freely moving organisms, multiple-target tracking or multi-person contactless vital sign monit ...

Enhancing spatial resolution in MÖNCH for electron microscopy via deep learning

Benjamin Bejar Haro, Luis Felipe Barba Flores

However, their use in imaging applications has been limited by their relatively large pixel size (≥ 55 μm) and high-energy (>80 keV) electrons scattering over multiple pixels in the sensor layer. To realize the full potential of fast, radiation-hard HPDs a ...

Predictive performance of multi-model ensemble forecasts of COVID-19 across European nations

Nicola Parolini, Ntorina Thanou, David Kraus, Andrea Kraus, Daniel Lopez, Markus Scholz, Benjamin Bejar Haro, Daniel Rodrigo Lopez, Ekaterina Krymova, Tao Sun

Background:Short-term forecasts of infectious disease burden can contribute to situational awareness and aid capacity planning. Based on best practice in other fields and recent insights in infectious disease epidemiology, one can maximise the predictive p ...

Trend estimation and short-term forecasting of COVID-19 cases and deaths worldwide

Ntorina Thanou, Benjamin Bejar Haro, Christine Choirat, Guillaume Romain Obozinski, Ekaterina Krymova

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, many dashboards have emerged as useful tools to monitor its evolution, inform the public, and assist governments in decision-making. Here, we present a globally applicable method, integrated in a daily updated ...

Sampling Continuous-time Sparse Signals: A Frequency-domain Perspective

Martin Vetterli, Benjamin Bejar Haro

We address the problem of sampling and reconstruction of sparse signals with finite rate of innovation. We derive general conditions under which perfect reconstruction is possible for sampling kernels satisfying Strang-Fix conditions. Previous results on t ...

Sampling at unknown locations: Uniqueness and reconstruction under constraints

Martin Vetterli, Golnooshsadat Elhami, Benjamin Bejar Haro, Adam James Scholefield, Michalina Wanda Pacholska

Traditional sampling results assume that the sample locations are known. Motivated by simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) and structure from motion (SfM), we investigate sampling at unknown locations. Without further constraints, the problem is of ...

The regularized tau estimator: A robust and efficient solution to ill-posed linear inverse problems

Martin Vetterli, Marta Martinez-Camara, Benjamin Bejar Haro

Linear inverse problems are ubiquitous. Often the measurements do not follow a Gaussian distribution. Additionally, a model matrix with a large condition number can complicate the problem further by making it ill-posed. In this case, the performance of pop ...

Sampling at unknown locations, with an application in surface retrieval

Martin Vetterli, Benjamin Bejar Haro, Adam James Scholefield, Michalina Wanda Pacholska

We consider the problem of sampling at unknown locations. We prove that, in this setting, if we take arbitrarily many samples of a polynomial or real bandlimited signal, it is possible to find another function in the same class, arbitrarily far away from t ...

Unlabeled Sensing: Reconstruction Algorithm and Theoretical Guarantees

Martin Vetterli, Golnooshsadat Elhami, Benjamin Bejar Haro, Adam James Scholefield

It often happens that we are interested in reconstructing an unknown signal from partial measurements. Also, it is typically assumed that the location (temporal or spatial) of the samples is known and that the only distortion present in the observations is ...

Shape from bandwidth: the 2-D orthogonal projection case

Martin Vetterli, Benjamin Bejar Haro, Adam James Scholefield

Could bandwidth—one of the most classic concepts in signal processing—have a new purpose? In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of using bandwidth to infer shape from a single image. As a first analysis, we limit our attention to orthographic proje ...

Enhancing local-Transmitting less-Improving global

Martin Vetterli, Benjamin Bejar Haro

Super-resolving a natural image is an ill-posed problem. The classical approach is based on the registration and subsequent interpolation of a given set of low-resolution images. However, achieving satisfactory results typically requires the combination of ...

Topology Optimization For Energy-Efficient Communications In Consensus Wireless Networks

Martin Vetterli, Benjamin Bejar Haro

Over the past years there has been an increasing interest in developing distributed computation methods over wireless networks. A new communication paradigm has emerged where distributed algorithms such as consensus have played a key role in the developmen ...

A robust method for inverse transport modelling of atmospheric emissions using blind outlier detection

Martin Vetterli, Marta Martinez-Camara, Benjamin Bejar Haro

Emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere are a serious environmental concern. In order to understand and predict their effects, it is necessary to estimate the exact quantity and timing of the emissions, from sensor measurements taken at differe ...
