Epidemic Models for COVID-19 during the First Wave from February to May 2020: a Methodological Review

We review epidemiological models for the propagation of the COVID-19 pandemic during the early months of the outbreak: from February to May 2020. The aim is to propose a methodological review that highlights the following characteristics: (i) the…

Automatic detection of repeated objects in images

The definition of an "object" through the presentation of several of its instances is certainly one of the most efficient ways for humans and machines to learn. An object can be "learned" from a single image, just because it is repeating. In this…

Decentralized Learning in Online Queuing Systems

Motivated by packet routing in computer networks, online queuing systems are composed of queues receiving packets at different rates. Repeatedly, they send packets to servers, each of them treating only at most one packet at a time. In the…

Making the most of your day: online learning for optimal allocation of time

We study online learning for optimal allocation when the resource to be allocated is time. Examples of possible applications include a driver filling a day with rides, a landlord renting an estate, etc. Following our initial motivation, a driver…

A strategy for mapping biophysical to abstract neuronal network models applied to primary visual cortex

A fundamental challenge for the theoretical study of neuronal networks is to make the link between complex biophysical models based directly on experimental data, to progressively simpler mathematical models that allow the derivation of general…

Learning to Rank Anomalies: Scalar Performance Criteria and Maximization of Two-Sample Rank Statistics

The ability to collect and store ever more massive databases has been accompanied by the need to process them efficiently. In many cases, most observations have the same behavior, while a probable small proportion of these observations are abnormal…

Adversarial Weighting for Domain Adaptation in Regression

We present a novel instance-based approach to handle regression tasks in the context of supervised domain adaptation under an assumption of covariate shift. The approach developed in this paper is based on the assumption that the task on the target…

Sequential Learning in a strategical environment

In sequential learning (or repeated games), data is acquired and treated on the fly and an algorithm (or strategy) learns to behave as well as if it got in hindsight the state of nature, e.g., distributions of rewards. In many real life scenarios,…

Concentration Inequalities for Two-Sample Rank Processes with Application to Bipartite Ranking

The ROC curve is the gold standard for measuring the performance of a test/scoring statistic regarding its capacity to discriminate between two statistical populations in a wide variety of applications, ranging from anomaly detection in signal…

Numerical method for the computation of first-arrival time of seismic waves with general anisotropy

We present a numerical method for computing the first arrival time of seismic waves. The scheme can tackle three dimensional media with elastic properties defined by a fully anisotropic Hooke tensor. Our numerical method proceeds in a single pass…
