End-to-end kernel learning via generative random Fourier features

Random Fourier features (RFFs) provide a promising way for kernel learning in a spectral case. Current RFFs-based kernel learning methods usually work in a two-stage way. In the first-stage process, learn-ing an optimal feature map is often formulated as a ...

Attention-based domain adaptation for single-stage detectors

Mathieu Salzmann, Vidit Vidit

While domain adaptation has been used to improve the performance of object detectors when the training and test data follow different distributions, previous work has mostly focused on two-stage detectors. This is because their use of region proposals make ...

Performance and Micro-Vibrations in Magnetic Bearings for Space Actuators

Guzmán Borque Gallego

The development of new space missions with novel high-performance and very sensitive payloads for Earth observation or scientific missions has imposed considerably tougher requirements in terms of the satellite's pointing accuracy and stability, and thus o ...

Improved pivot-slide model of the motion of a curling rock

Laurent De Schoulepnikoff

The pivot-slide model (Shegelski and Lozowski) successfully predicts the slide and curl distances of a curling rock. However, in this model, there is no dependence of the curl distance on the initial velocity, because the ratio between the pivot to sliding ...

A Two Phase Heuristic Approach For The Dynamic Electric Autonomous Dial-a-Ride Problem

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Claudia Bongiovanni, Mor Kaspi

In the Dial-a-Ride-Problem (DARP) a fleet of vehicles provide shared-ride services to users specifying their origin, destination, and preferred arrival time. In the dynamic version of the DARP, some trips are booked in advance while others come in real-tim ...

Orientation-Dispersed Apparent Axon Diameter via Multi-Stage Spherical Mean Optimization

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Marco Pizzolato

The estimation of the apparent axon diameter (AAD) via diffusion MRI is affected by the incoherent alignment of single axons around its axon bundle direction, also known as orientational dispersion. The simultaneous estimation of AAD and dispersion is chal ...

Three- or Two-Stage Stochastic Market-Clearing Algorithm?

Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, Farzaneh Abbaspourtorbati, Antonio J. Conejo

As the power industry considers moving from a deterministic paradigm to a stochastic one to clear the day-ahead market in systems with significant stochastic production, the following question arises: how should a stochastic clearing algorithm be formulate ...

Removal of pharmaceuticals in pre-denitrifying MBBR Influence of organic substrate availability in single- and three-stage configurations

Luca Loreggian

Due to the limited efficiency of conventional biological treatment, innovative solutions are being explored to improve the removal of trace organic chemicals in wastewater. Controlling biomass exposure to growth substrate represents an appealing option for ...

Asteroid Deflection Campaign Design Integrating Epistemic Uncertainties

Patricia Egger, Sung Wook Paek

Asteroid deflection entails multiple sources of epistemic uncertainties and stochastic uncertainties. Epistemic uncertainties can be reduced by replenishing incomplete information with a better means of observation, whereas stochastic uncertainties are inh ...

Bipolar Lightning Flashes Observed at the Säntis Tower: Do We Need to Modify the Traditional Classification?

Mario Paolone, Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Davide Pavanello

We present and discuss current waveforms associated with 13 bipolar lightning flashes recorded at the Santis Tower during the period from June 2010 to January 2015. During this period, a total of 427 flashes were recorded, of which 13 (3%) were classified ...

A model for the evaluation of the electric field associated with the lightning-triggering rocket wire and its corona

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Aleksandr Smorgonskii

In this paper, we analyze the electric field at ground level during the first stage of triggered lightning experiments, i.e., during the rocket ascent and prior to the lightning initiation. At distances of some tens of meters from the triggering wire, the ...

K-Adaptability in Two-Stage Robust Binary Programming

Daniel Kuhn, Grani Adiwena Hanasusanto, Wolfram Wiesemann

Over the last two decades, robust optimization has emerged as a computationally attractive approach to formulate and solve single-stage decision problems affected by uncertainty. More recently, robust optimization has been successfully applied to multi-sta ...

Total Synthesis of (+/-)-Cylindricine C

Philippe Renaud, Kurt Schenk

A concise synthesis of (+/-)-cylindricine C and its C(13)-epimer is described. Starting from 1-octyne, cylindricine C and 13-epi-cylindricine C were prepared in 11% and 15% yields, respectively. The synthesis involves the preparation of the central tricycl ...
