Removing Algorithmic Discrimination (With Minimal Individual Error)

Rachid Guerraoui, El Mahdi El Mhamdi, Alexandre David Olivier Maurer, Le Nguyen Hoang

We address for the first time the problem of correcting group discriminations within a score function, while minimizing the individual error. Each group is described by a probability density function on the set of profiles. We first solve the problem analy ...

Late Fusion of the Available Lexicon and Raw Waveform-based Acoustic Modeling for Depression and Dementia Recognition

Petr Motlicek, Mathew Magimai Doss, Julian David Fritsch, Subrahmanya Pavankumar Dubagunta

Mental disorders, e.g. depression and dementia, are categorized as priority conditions according to the World Health Organization (WHO). When diagnosing, psychologists employ structured questionnaires/interviews, and different cognitive tests. Although acc ...

What determines the attitude-behavior link when voting on renewable energy policies? The roles of problem perception and policy design

Philippe Thalmann

This chapter sheds light on the paradox between the general perception of climate change related problems and resistance to measures addressing it, namely the support of renewable energy policies at the ballot box. Using conjoint analyses, we investigate t ...

Towards the Development of Orally Available Peptide Therapeutics

Christian Heinis, Xudong Kong

Peptides have a number of attractive properties that make them an interesting modality for drug development, including their ability to bind challenging targets, their high target specificity, and their non-toxic metabolic products. However, a major limita ...

A data-driven perspective on the colours of metal-organic frameworks

Berend Smit, Luc Patiny, Seyedmohamad Moosavi, Kevin Maik Jablonka, Mehrdad Asgari, Christopher Patrick Ireland

Colour is at the core of chemistry and has been fascinating humans since ancient times. It is also a key descriptor of optoelectronic properties of materials and is often used to assess the success of a synthesis. However, predicting the colour of a materi ...

Data Structures and Algorithms for Logic Synthesis in Advanced Technologies

Eleonora Testa

Logic synthesis is a key component of digital design and modern EDA tools; it is thus an essential instrument for the design of leading-edge chips and to push the limits of their performance. In the last decades, the electronic circuits community has evolv ...

The probability of intransitivity in dice and close elections

Jan Hazla

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 ...

Understanding multimodality through rhythm of life. An empirical evidence from the Swiss case study

Alexis Gumy, Guillaume Simon Joseph Drevon

The car dominance car in the urban transport system may contribute to health and environmental troubles. In recent years, multimodality appears as a central issue for public policies as they try to encourage and develop the modal shift in favour of walking ...

Patent citations reexamined

Kenneth Younge, Jeffrey Kuhn

Many studies rely on patent citations to measure intellectual heritage and impact. In this article, we show that the nature of patent citations has changed dramatically in recent years. Today, a small minority of patent applications are generating a large ...

Machine learning based detection of digital documents maliciously recaptured from displays

Touradj Ebrahimi, Evgeniy Upenik, Saleh Gholam Zadeh

We used to say “seeing is believing": this is no longer true. The digitization is changing all aspects of life and business. One of the more noticeable impacts is in how business documents are being authored, exchanged and processed. Many documents such as ...

Change Detection and Notification of Web Pages: A Survey

Lakmal Buddika Meegahapola

The majority of currently available webpages are dynamic in nature and are changing frequently. New content gets added to webpages, and existing content gets updated or deleted. Hence, people find it useful to be alert for changes in webpages that contain ...

Drowsy-DC: Data center power management system

Willy Zwaenepoel, Baptiste Joseph Eustache Lepers, Mathieu Paul Fernand Bacou

In a modern data center (DC), a large majority of costs arise from energy consumption. The most popular technique used to mitigate this issue is virtualization and more precisely virtual machine (VM) consolidation. Although consolidation may increase serve ...

Size-aware Sharding For Improving Tail Latencies in In-memory Key-value Stores

Willy Zwaenepoel, Diego Didona

This paper introduces the concept of size-aware sharding to improve tail latencies for in-memory key-value stores, and describes its implementation in the Minos key-value store. ...

Structural Rewriting in XOR-Majority Graphs

Giovanni De Micheli, Mathias Soeken, Zhufei Chu

In this paper, we present a structural rewriting method for a recently proposed XOR-Majority graph (XMG), which has exclusive-OR (XOR), majority-of-three (MAJ), and inverters as primitives. XMGs are an extension of Majority-Inverter Graphs (MIGs). Previous ...

Mapping Monotone Boolean Functions into Majority

Giovanni De Micheli, Eleonora Testa, Mathias Soeken, Luca Gaetano Amarù, Winston Jason Haaswijk

We consider the problem of decomposing monotone Boolean functions into majority-of-three operations, with a particular focus on decomposing the majority-n function. When targeting monotone Boolean functions, Shannon's expansion can be expressed by a single ...

Pairs of majority-decomposing functions

Giovanni De Micheli, Mathias Soeken, Eleonora Testa

We are interested in decompositions xnf1f2 of the majority function over n odd arguments x1, ...,xnsuch that f1and f2do not depend on xn. In this paper, we derive the conditions for f1and f2that satisfy the decomposition. Such decompositions play a centr ...

Anomalies in Scheduling Control Applications and Design Complexity

Amir Aminifar

Today, many control applications in cyberphysical systems are implemented on shared platforms. Such resource sharing may lead to complex timing behaviors and, in turn, instability of control applications. This paper highlights a number of anomalies demonst ...
