description: The effects of drawing on the structure and mechanical properties of a Co-based metallic glass under tension were thoroughly investigated. Surface changes induced by drawing, including removal of surface flaws, surface chemical homogenization and generation of compressive residual stress tend to increase the fracture strength, whilst open volumes created during drawing, particularly nano-voids, are likely to soften the wires. Initially, the surface changes are decisive factors, but as drawing proceeds, the open volumes gradually become dominant, yielding a maximum fracture strength in the wires with an area reduction ratio of 22%. Moreover, it was found that the fracture strength reliability was enhanced by the drawing, which is due not only to the surface perfection but also to the increase of plastic deformation capability, manifested by the decrease in the activation energy of individual shear transformation zones. Our results imply that the drawing technique could be a promising approach to continuously producing small-sized glassy wires with improved overall properties.

description: The dependence of microstructure on the alloy composition and cooling rate of a series of (Zr0.5Cu0.5)100−xAlx (x = 1, 2, 3 , … , 10 at.%) alloys was investigated in detail and explained in the framework of time–temperature–transformation diagrams. The relationship between the microstructures of bulk metallic glass (BMG) composites and their mechanical properties was characterized systematically. It was found that the addition of aluminum can promote the formation of the metastable austenitic CuZr phase, and composite structures with B2–CuZr particles can be formed in alloys containing 3–8% Al. Both the volume fraction and distribution of the reinforced B2 phase could greatly affect the deformation behavior, and the BMG composites with homogeneously distributed single B2–CuZr phase exhibited stable tensile ductility. Analysis indicates that the B2–CuZr austenite transformed into the B19′ martensite during deformation (i.e., stress-induced martensitic transformation), which accounts for the observed superior mechanical properties of the current BMG composites.

description: Mechanical properties of the glassy specimens fabricated at different cooling rates with a composition of Ti40Zr25Cu12Ni3Be20 were systematically investigated. It was confirmed that faster cooling rates caused not only a larger amount of frozen-in free volume but also a higher glass transition temperature in the bulk glassy alloy. Increase in the free volume was found to favor plastic deformation and then to give rise to larger compressive plasticity, whilst the rise in the glass transition temperature seemed to be closely related to the higher yield strength. Moreover, the increase of yield strength and plasticity induced by fast cooling rates may also be associated with the residual stress generated during the fabrication process. Our results suggest that the deformation behavior of bulk metallic glasses is sensitive to various factors and influences from the other factors should be excluded as far as cooling-rate effects on bulk metallic glasses are considered.

description: Phase field simulations are conducted to investigate the micro-structural signature and the macro-response of a ferroelectric single crystal with domain pinning and depinning phenomena bydislocation arrays. It is shown that due to the presence of the dislocation arrays, a domain withpolarizations antiparallel to an applied field can survive under the small amplitude of applied field. The residual domain serves as a pre-existing nucleus during the following macroscopic switching via only domain wall motion. The pinned domain will be depinned when the external electric fieldamplitude exceeds a critical value, which highly depends on the dislocation spacing in the dislocationarray. Due to the pinning and depinning effect, an asymmetric hysteresis loop of polarization versuselectric field might appear when a bias field is applied.

description: In this paper, we study different approaches for classifying emotions from speech using acoustic and text-based features. We propose to obtain contextualized word embeddings with BERT to represent the information contained in speech transcriptions and show that this results in better performance than using Glove embeddings. We also propose and compare different strategies to combine the audio and text modalities, evaluating them on IEMOCAP and MSP-PODCAST datasets. We find that fusing acoustic and text-based systems is beneficial on both datasets, though only subtle differences are observed across the evaluated fusion approaches. Finally, for IEMOCAP, we show the large effect that the criteria used to define the cross-validation folds have on results. In particular, the standard way of creating folds for this dataset results in a highly optimistic estimation of performance for the text-based system, suggesting that some previous works may overestimate the advantage of incorporating transcriptions.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

Deep Learning for Robust and Explainable Models in Computer Vision

description: Recent breakthroughs in machine and deep learning (ML and DL) research have provided excellent tools for leveraging enormous amounts of data and optimizing huge models with millions of parameters to obtain accurate networks for image processing. These developments open up tremendous opportunities for using artificial intelligence (AI) in the automation and human assisted AI industry. However, as more and more models are deployed and used in practice, many challenges have emerged. This thesis presents various approaches that address robustness and explainability challenges for using ML and DL in practice.
 Robustness and reliability are the critical components of any model before certification and deployment in practice. Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) exhibit vulnerability to transformations of their inputs, such as rotation and scaling, or intentional manipulations as described in the adversarial attack literature. In addition, building trust in AI-based models requires a better understanding of current models and developing methods that are more explainable and interpretable a priori.
 This thesis presents developments in computer vision models' robustness and explainability. Furthermore, this thesis offers an example of using vision models' feature response visualization (models' interpretations) to improve robustness despite interpretability and robustness being seemingly unrelated in the related research. Besides methodological developments for robust and explainable vision models, a key message of this thesis is introducing model interpretation techniques as a tool for understanding vision models and improving their design and robustness. In addition to the theoretical developments, this thesis demonstrates several applications of ML and DL in different contexts, such as medical imaging and affective computing.

description: The electrocaloric effect (ECE) of ferroelectric materials, which occurs significantly in a narrow temperature region near the first-order paraelectric/ferroelectric transition (FOPFT) Curie temperature, has great potential in solid-state refrigeration. Most ferroelectric materials, however, bear the second-order paraelectric/ferroelectric transition (SOPFT). In the present study, we demonstrate a size-dependent pseudo-first-order phase transition (PFOPT), associated with ultrahigh ECE and Curie temperature in ferroelectric nanoparticles with degradation layers by employing phase field modeling. The PFOPT behavior of the polarization component P3 along the applied electric field direction x3 versus temperature is similar to the classical FOPFT behavior. The results indicate that the ultrahigh ECE and PFOPT occur at temperatures below the Curie temperature of a given nanoparticle size. The adiabatic temperature change is 3.347 K in the simulated barium titanate nanoparticle of 10 × 10 × 8 normalized size under a 96.502 kV cm−1 applied electric field change. The concept of PFOPT should be general, applicable to all ferroelectric perovskite materials. Therefore, the current results provide a novel physical perspective for experiments and for lower power/higher efficiency solid-state cooling devices.

description: Zn/ZnO metal/semiconductor nanostructures were successfully synthesised by a facile zinc-rich chemistry liquid-phase approach with zinc microspheres as sacrificial templates at ambient temperature. A series of globular Zn/ZnO core/shell structures and hollow microsphere architectures self-assembled by Zn/ZnO nanorod heterojunction arrays were obtained by controlling the amount of zinc particles. The structure, morphology, composition and optical properties of the products have been characterised by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and photoluminescent spectroscopy. A possible growth mechanism of the Zn/ZnO nanostructures has been proposed based on the structural analysis. The growth mechanism of Zn/ZnO hollow microspheres is ascribed to Kirkendall effect. A new strong blue emission at 440 nm and a green emission around 500 nm with an enhancement over one order of magnitude compared with the pure ZnO sample have been observed. These emission bands are attributed to two kinds of mechanisms that have been discussed in detail.

description: From extraction experiments and γ-activity measurements, the extraction constant corresponding to the equilibrium occurring in the two-phase water–nitrobenzene system (1 = nonactin, aq = aqueous phase, nb = nitrobenzene phase) was evaluated as log Kex (Ag+, 1 ⋅ Na+) = 0.6 ± 0.1. Furthermore, the stability constant of the 1 ⋅ Ag+ complex in nitrobenzene saturated with water was calculated for a temperature of 25 °C: log βnb(1 ⋅ Ag+) = 6.6 ± 0.2. Finally, employing quantum mechanical calculations, the most probable structure of the cationic complex species 1 ⋅ Ag+ was derived. In the resulting complex, having a tennis-ball-seam conformation with the C2 symmetry, the ‘central’ cation Ag+ is bound by eight relatively strong bonding interactions to eight oxygen atoms of the parent nonactin ligand. The interaction energy of the considered 1 ⋅ Ag+ complex was found to be –468.5 kJ/mol, confirming also the formation of this cationic species.

description: Capturing high resolution imagery of the Earth's surface often calls for a telescope of considerable size, even from Low Earth Orbits (LEO). A large aperture often requires large and expensive platforms. For instance, achieving a resolution of 1m at visible wavelengths from LEO typically requires an aperture diameter of at least 30cm. Additionally, ensuring high revisit times often prompts the use of multiple satellites. In light of these challenges, a small, segmented, deployable CubeSat telescope was recently proposed creating the additional need of phasing the telescope's mirrors. Phasing methods on compact platforms are constrained by the limited volume and power available, excluding solutions that rely on dedicated hardware or demand substantial computational resources. Neural Network (NN) are known for their computationally efficient inference and reduced on board requirements. Therefore we developed a NN based method to measure co phasing errors inherent to a deployable telescope. The proposed technique demonstrates its ability to detect phasing error at the targeted performance level (typically a wavefront error (WFE) below 15 nm RMS for a visible imager operating at the diffraction limit) using a point source. The robustness of the NN method is verified in presence of high order aberrations or noise and the results are compared against existing state of the art techniques. The developed NN model ensures its feasibility and provides a realistic pathway towards achieving diffraction limited images.

description: Ensuring resource isolation at the hardware level is a crucial step towards more security inside the Internet of Things. Even though there is still no generally accepted technique to generate appropriate tests, it became clear that tests should be generated at the system level. In this paper, we illustrate the modeling aspects in test generation for resource isolation, namely modeling the behavior and expressing the intended test scenario. We present both aspects using the industrial standard PSS and an academic approach based on conformance testing.

description: This paper explores whether a mixture of centralised and decentralised urban water systems is preferable for sustainable urban water management. This is of importance for developing countries where there is continued demand for expanding urban water infrastructure. Processes for determining the combination of centralised and decentralised urban water solutions remain largely ad hoc. Using the South West Pacific as a case study, a multi criteria decision analysis (MCDA) methodology drawing on expert elicitation was employed to assess the technical, economic, environmental and resilience performance of urban water infrastructure alternatives; assessing water supply, sewage and stormwater systems. The MCDA analysis was then systematically contrasted with both a series of recommended infrastructural investment plans and the desires of local technocrats in Port Vila, Vanuatu. Results demonstrate a high level of agreement between the MCDA outcomes and local stakeholders, favouring hybrid infrastructure. Conversely, international consultants' infrastructure recommendations continue to reflect traditional engineering paradigms.

description: Rijkswaterstaat, the National Dutch body responsible for infrastructure, recognised the importance of formal modelling and set up a program to model the control of road tunnels. This is done to improve the standardisation of tunnel control and make communication with suppliers smoother. A subset of SysML is used to formulate the models, which are substantial. In an earlier paper we have shown that these models can be used to prove behavioural properties by manually translating the models to mCRL2. In this paper we report on an automatic translation to mCRL2. As the results of the translation became unwieldy, we also investigated modelling tunnel control in the specification language Dezyne which has built-in verification capabilities and compared the results.

description: We revisit the IEEE 1394 high-performance serial bus ("FireWire"), which became a success story in formal methods after three PhD students, by using process algebra and model checking, detected a deadlock error in this IEEE standard. We present four formal models for the asynchronous mode of the Link Layer of IEEE 1394: the original model in muCRL, a simplified model in mCRL2, a revised model in LOTOS, and a novel model in LNT.

description: Global optimization of access point (AP) assignment to user terminals requires efficient monitoring of user behavior, fast decision algorithms, efficient control signaling, and fast AP reassignment mechanisms. In this scenario, software defined networking (SDN) technology may be suitable for network monitoring, signaling, and control. We recently proposed embedding virtual switches in user terminals for direct management by an SDN controller, further contributing to SDN-oriented access network optimization. However, since users may restrict terminal-side traffic monitoring for privacy reasons (a common assumption by previous authors), we infer user traffic classes at the APs. On the other hand, since handovers will be more frequent in dense small-cell networks (e.g., mmWave-based 5G deployments will require dense network topologies with inter-site distances of ~150-200 m), the delay to take assignment decisions should be minimal. To this end, we propose taking fast decisions based exclusively on extremely simple network-side application flow-type predictions based on past user behavior. Using real data we show that a centralized allocation algorithm based on those predictions achieves network utilization levels that approximate those of optimal allocations. We also test a distributed version of this algorithm. Finally, we quantify the elapsed time since a user traffic event takes place until its terminal is assigned an AP, when needed.

Strategic Intelligence on Emerging Technologies: Scientometric Overlay Mapping

description: Accepted for publication in the Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology Abstract: This paper examines the use of scientometric overlay mapping as a tool of ’strategic in- telligence’ to aid the governance of emerging technologies. We develop an integrative synthesis of different overlay mapping techniques and associated perspectives on technological emergence across the geographical, social, and cognitive spaces. To do so, we longitudinally analyse (with publication and patent data) three case-studies of emerging technologies in the biomedical domain. These are: RNA interference (RNAi), Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) testing technologies for cervical cancer, and Thiopurine Methyltransferase (TPMT) genetic testing. Given the flexibility (i.e. adaptability to different sources of data) and granularity (i.e. applicability across multiple levels of data aggregation) of overlay mapping techniques, we argue that these techniques can favour the integration and comparison of results from different contexts and cases, thus potentially functioning as platform for a ’distributed’ strategic intelligence for analysts and decision-makers.

Symmetries of the Large Scale Structures of the Universe as a Phenomenology of a Fractal Turbulence: The Role of the Plasma Component

description: We present a new perspective on the symmetries that govern the formation of large-scale structures across the Universe, particularly focusing on the transition from the seeds of galaxy clusters to the seeds of galaxies themselves. We address two main features of cosmological fluid dynamics pertaining to both the linear and non-linear regimes. The linear dynamics of cosmological perturbations within the Hubble horizon is characterized by the Jeans length, which separates stable configurations from unstable fluctuations due to the gravitational effect on sufficiently large (and therefore, massive enough) overdensities. On the other hand, the non-linear dynamics of the cosmological fluid is associated with a turbulent behavior once the Reynolds numbers reach a sufficiently high level. This turbulent regime leads to energy dissipation across smaller and smaller scales, resulting in a fractal distribution of eddies throughout physical space. The proposed scenario suggests that the spatial scale of eddy formation is associated with the Jeans length of various levels of fragmentation from an original large-scale structure. By focusing on the fragmentation of galaxy cluster seeds versus galaxy seeds, we arrived at a phenomenological law that links the ratio of the two structure densities to the number of galaxies in each cluster and to the Hausdorff number of the Universe matter distribution. Finally, we introduced a primordial magnetic field and studied its influence on the Jeans length dynamics. The resulting anisotropic behavior of the density contrast led us to infer that the main features of the turbulence could be reduced to a 2D Euler equation. Numerical simulations showed that the two lowest wavenumbers contained the major energy contribution of the spectrum.

description: As the development of autonomous vehicles progresses, efficient safety assurance methods become increasingly necessary. Safety assurance methods such as monitoring and scenario-based testing call for formalisation of driving scenarios. In this paper, we develop a temporal-logic formalisation of an important class of critical scenarios in the ISO standard 34502. We use signal temporal logic (STL) as a logical formalism. Our formalisation has two main features: 1) modular composition of logical formulas for systematic and comprehensive formalisation (following the compositional methodology of ISO 34502); 2) use of the RSS distance for defining danger. We find our formalisation comes with few parameters to tune thanks to the RSS distance. We experimentally evaluated our formalisation; using its results, we discuss the validity of our formalisation and its stability with respect to the choice of some parameter values.

description: Data acquisition, image processing, and image quality are the long-lasting issues for terahertz (THz) 3D reconstructed imaging. Existing methods are primarily designed for 2D scenarios, given the challenges associated with obtaining super-resolution (SR) data and the absence of an efficient SR 3D reconstruction framework in conventional computed tomography (CT). Here, we demonstrate BLIss, a new approach for THz SR 3D reconstruction with sparse 2D data input. BLIss seamlessly integrates conventional CT techniques and variational framework with the core of the adapted Euler-Elastica-based model. The quantitative 3D image evaluation metrics, including the standard deviation of Gaussian, mean curvatures, and the multi-scale structural similarity index measure (MS-SSIM), validate the superior smoothness and fidelity achieved with our variational framework approach compared with conventional THz CT modal. Beyond its contributions to advancing THz SR 3D reconstruction, BLIss demonstrates potential applicability in other imaging modalities, such as X-ray and MRI. This suggests extensive impacts on the broader field of imaging applications.

description: Neural Network Language Models (NNLMs) for Virtual Assistants (VAs) are generally language-, region-, and in some cases, device-dependent, which increases the effort to scale and maintain them. Combining NNLMs for one or more of the categories is one way to improve scalability. In this work, we combine regional variants of English to build a ``World English'' NNLM for on-device VAs. In particular, we investigate the application of adapter bottlenecks to model dialect-specific characteristics in our existing production NNLMs {and enhance the multi-dialect baselines}. We find that adapter modules are more effective in modeling dialects than specializing entire sub-networks. Based on this insight and leveraging the design of our production models, we introduce a new architecture for World English NNLM that meets the accuracy, latency, and memory constraints of our single-dialect models.
