Correspondence functors and duality

A correspondence functor is a functor from the category of finite sets and correspondences to the category of k-modules, where k is a commutative ring. By means of a suitably defined duality, new correspondence functors are constructed, having remarkable p ...

HyperLogLog: Exponentially Bad in Adversarial Settings

Mathilde Aliénor Raynal

Computing the count of distinct elements in large data sets is a common task but naive approaches are memory-expensive. The HyperLogLog (HLL) algorithm (Flajolet et al., 2007) estimates a data set's cardinality while using significantly less memory than a ...

Free Boundary Regularity for Almost Every Solution to the Signorini Problem

Xavier Fernandez-Real Girona

We investigate the regularity of the free boundary for the Signorini problem in Rn+1. It is known that regular points are (n−1)-dimensional and C∞. However, even for C∞ obstacles φ, the set of non-regular (or degenerate) points could be very large—e.g. wit ...

Statistical Applications of Random Matrix Theory: Comparison of Two Populations

Rémy Mariétan

During the last twenty years, Random matrix theory (RMT) has produced numerous results that allow a better understanding of large random matrices. These advances have enabled interesting applications in the domain of communication. Although this theory can ...

Vision-Based Sense and Avoid Algorithms for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Steven Adriaan Roelofsen

The field of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, is rapidly growing, both in terms of size and of number of applications. Civil applications range from mapping, inspection, search and rescue, taking aerial footage, to art show, entertain ...

Fréchet means in Wasserstein space : theory and algorithms

Yoav Zemel

This work studies the problem of statistical inference for Fréchet means in the Wasserstein space of measures on Euclidean spaces,

\mathcal W_2 ( \mathbb R^d )

. This question arises naturally from the problem of separating amplitude and phase variation i ...

Comparison between seismic vulnerability models and experimental dynamic properties of existing buildings in France

Pierino Lestuzzi, Clotaire Michel

Elastic fundamental frequency is a key-parameter of simplified seismic design and vulnerability assessment methods. Empirical relationships exist in codes to estimate this frequency but they miss experimental data to validate them accounting for national f ...

Efficient Processing of Ranking Queries in Novel Applications

Parisa Haghani

Ranking queries, which return only a subset of results matching a user query, have been studied extensively in the past decade due to their importance in a wide range of applications. In this thesis, we study ranking queries in novel environments and setti ...

Discrete choice models with multiplicative error terms

Michel Bierlaire

The conditional indirect utility of many random utility maximization (RUM) discrete choice models is specified as a sum of an index V depending on observables and an independent random term. In general, the universe of RUM consistent models is much larger, ...

Discrete choice models with multiplicative error terms

Michel Bierlaire

The conditional indirect utility of many random utility maximization (RUM) discrete choice models is specified as a sum of an index V depending on observables and an independent random term P. In general, the universe of RUM consistent models is much large ...
