Dynamic Model Pruning with Feedback

Martin Jaggi, Luis Felipe Barba Flores, Sebastian Urban Stich, Tao Lin, Daniil Dmitriev

Deep neural networks often have millions of parameters. This can hinder their deployment to low-end devices, not only due to high memory requirements but also because of increased latency at inference. We propose a novel model compression method that gener ...

The zaojing: review of a unique wooden construction typology

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jingxian Ye

The zaojing is an ancient Chinese construction system consisting of a dome-shaped assembly of interlocked wooden pieces. These structures are placed above live performance spaces to enhance sound diffusion while creating background scenery. Existing zaojin ...

Lupulus: A Flexible Hardware Accelerator For Neural Networks

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Robert Giterman, Andreas Toftegaard Kristensen

Neural networks have become indispensable for a wide range of applications, but they suffer from high computational- and memory-requirements, requiring optimizations from the algorithmic description of the network to the hardware implementation. Moreover, ...

Impact of facade details on the reliability of performance-based decisions for early-stage neighborhood designs

Minu Agarwal

Neighborhood-scale projects often commence with the conceptualization of several massing-schemes as potential design solutions. There is growing interest in using building performance simulation (BPS) to evaluate and rank such conceptual stage schemes in o ...

Joint Learning of Semantic Alignment and Object Landmark Detection

Seungryong Kim

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) based approaches for semantic alignment and object landmark detection have improved their performance significantly. Current efforts for the two tasks focus on addressing the lack of massive training data through weakly ...

A Personalized Approach to Improve Walking Detection in Real-Life Settings: Application to Children with Cerebral Palsy

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Lena Carcreff, Stéphane Armand

Although many methods have been developed to detect walking by using body-worn inertial sensors, their performances decline when gait patterns become abnormal, as seen in children with cerebral palsy (CP). The aim of this study was to evaluate if fine-tuni ...

Ambiguïtés de la « ville créative » : néolibéralisation, condition urbaine et puissances politiques de l'art

Mischa-Sébastien Piraud

Art and culture have a renewed role in the contemporary city. Theories relative to the creative class, the creative economy and the creative city are both descriptive and prescriptive; they focus on the role of culture in the urban production process and, ...

Position and mode dependent optical detection back-action in cantilever beam resonators

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Tom Larsen

Optical detection back-action in cantilever resonant or static detection presents a challenge when striving for state-of-the-art performance. The origin and possible routes for minimizing optical back-action have received little attention in literature. He ...

An empirical comparison of travel choice models that capture preferences for compromise alternatives

Michel Bierlaire

Compromise alternatives have an intermediate performance on each or most attributes rather than having a poor performance on some attributes and a strong performance on others. The relative popularity of compromise alternatives among decision-makers has be ...

Visual and Force Feedback Time-Delays Change Telepresence: Quantitative Evidence from Crossmodal Congruecy Task

Olaf Blanke, Hannes Bleuler, Michiel van Elk

In the field of surgical robotics, it is difficult to find objective assessment techniques for evaluating telepresence. In this study we try to merge the concepts from cognitive neuroscience more specifically from the field of tool incorporation (embodimen ...

Evanescent straight tapered-fiber coupling of ultra-high Q optomechanical micro-resonators in a low-vibration helium-4 exchange-gas cryostat

Tobias Kippenberg, Albert Schliesser

We developed an apparatus to couple a 50-mu m diameter whispering-gallery silica microtoroidal resonator in a helium-4 cryostat using a straight optical tapered-fiber at 1550 nm wavelength. On a top-loading probe specifically adapted for increased mechanic ...
