Changes in spatial self-consciousness elicit grid cell–like representation in the entorhinal cortex

Olaf Blanke, Emanuela De Falco, Baptiste Gauthier, Louis Philippe Albert, Hyeongdong Park, Hyukjun Moon, Corentin Marie Hervé Robert Tasu

Grid cells in the entorhinal cortex (EC) encode an individual’s location in space, integrating both environmental and multisensory bodily cues. Notably, body-derived signals are also primary signals for the sense of self. While studies have demonstrated th ...

Open-Set Person Re-Identification through Error Resilient Recurring Gallery Building

Touradj Ebrahimi, Evgeniy Upenik

In person re-identification, individuals must be correctly identified in images that come from different cameras or are captured at different points in time. In the open-set case, the above needs be achieved for people who have not been previously recognis ...

3DPD: A photogrammetric pipeline for a PUSH frame stereo cameras

Nicolas Le Thomas

An innovative photogrammetric pipeline has been developed by INAF-Padova for the processing of the stereo images from the CaSSIS (Colour and Stereo Imaging System) (Thomas et al., 2014). CaSSIS is the multispectral stereo push frame camera on board ExoMars ...

Implicit Bias of SGD for Diagonal Linear Networks: a Provable Benefit of Stochasticity

Nicolas Henri Bernard Flammarion, Scott William Pesme, Loucas Pillaud-Vivien

Understanding the implicit bias of training algorithms is of crucial importance in order to explain the success of overparametrised neural networks. In this paper, we study the dynamics of stochastic gradient descent over diagonal linear networks through i ...

LPA1 receptor and chronic stress: Effects on behaviour and the genes involved in the hippocampal excitatory/inhibitory balance

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Olivia Zanoletti, Alexandre Claude Gustave Bacq, Roman Moreno Fernandez

The LPA1 receptor, one of the six characterized G protein-coupled receptors (LPA1–6) through which lysophosphatidic acid acts, is likely involved in promoting normal emotional behaviours. Current data suggest that the LPA-LPA1-receptor pathway may be invol ...

Verification of Software Network Functions with No Verification Expertise

Arseniy Zaostrovnykh

Software network functions (NFs), such as a network address translator, load balancer, or proxy, promise to bring flexibility and rapid innovation to computer networks and to reduce operational costs. However, continuous updates and flexibility typically c ...

Long-lasting feature integration

Leila Drissi Daoudi - Kleinbauer

In the classic model of vision, processing is local, feedforward and hierarchical. The first stages of the visual system are retinotopic, i.e., neighboring points in the outside world are mapped onto neighboring photoreceptors of the retina and this is pre ...

Second-Order Guarantees In Federated Learning

Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski, Elsa Rizk

Federated learning is a useful framework for centralized learning from distributed data under practical considerations of heterogeneity, asynchrony, and privacy. Federated architectures are frequently deployed in deep learning settings, which generally giv ...

A 3D Microscaffold Cochlear Electrode Array for Steroid Elution

Jürgen Brugger, Joo Yeon Kim, Jongmoon Jang

In cochlear implants, the electrode insertion trauma during surgery can cause damage residual hearing. Preserving the residual hearing is an important challenge and the localized administration of drugs, such as steroids, is one of the most promising ways, ...

Performance Contracts for Software Network Functions

George Candea, Solal Vincenzo Pirelli, Rishabh Ramesh Iyer, Aikaterini Argyraki, Arseniy Zaostrovnykh, Luis David Figueiredo Mascarenhas Moreira Pedrosa

Software network functions (NFs), or middleboxes, promise flexibility and easy deployment of network services but face the serious challenge of unexpected performance behaviour. We propose the notion of a performance contract, a construct formulated in ter ...
