description: Consumer-level depth cameras and depth sensors embedded in mobile devices enable numerous applications, such as AR games and face identification. However, the quality of the captured depth is sometimes insufficient for 3D reconstruction, tracking and other computer vision tasks. In this paper, we propose a self-supervised depth denoising approach to denoise and refine depth coming from a low quality sensor. We record simultaneous RGB-D sequences with unzynchronized lower- and higher-quality cameras and solve a challenging problem of aligning sequences both temporally and spatially. We then learn a deep neural network to denoise the lower-quality depth using the matched higher-quality data as a source of supervision signal. We experimentally validate our method against state-of-the-art filtering-based and deep denoising techniques and show its application for 3D object reconstruction tasks where our approach leads to more detailed fused surfaces and better tracking.

D’une part, on a en mémoire les résultats des dernières élections législatives et le début d’une seconde mandature gouvernementale, d’autre part, aborder l’expérience péjidiste au gouvernement à travers le discours et sa médiatisation revient à s’intéresser à l’élément fondamental, le pilier, voire l’arme, dont use l’homme politique, à savoir le langage.

Le paradoxe de L’« Attractivité durable » Cas du Maroc, 1970-2014

description: L’article étudie la relation attractivité-développement durable (DD) au Maroc, 1970-2014, suivant un modèle ARDL transformé en ECM. Les résultats montrent une relation de long terme entre l’attractivité du Royaume et l’IDH comme dimension socioéconomique de son DD. Cette relation est confirmée par le terme de correction d’erreur très significatif et de signe négatif. Par ailleurs, une causalité significative de court terme, allant des variables explicatives, est détectée vers la variable d’attractivité ; mais non vers celles du DD : l’attractivité du Maroc pour l’IDE n’a pas affecté son DD. Par contre ce dernier l’influence négativement et de manière significative. Le Maroc fait donc face à deux objectifs (d’attractivité et de DD) divergents à concilier! Un paradoxe d’« attractivité durable ».

La problématique de l’intraduisible. Cas de la traduction de la métaphore
Creators: name: Bouali, Mostafa
Publisher: name: SEMEION MED
Year: 2020
Subjects: métaphore – traduction – l’intraduisible - sens littéral –l’interprétation – l’analogie.

description: Parler de métaphore c’est mener une investigation concernant l’un des mécanismes fondamentaux de la langue. L’utilisation spécifique de cette figure de style est encadrée par des faits relevant des coutumes, des religions, des goûts et de la culture d’une manière générale. Ainsi, en parlant de la métaphore, il est inévitable de ne pas évoquer l’intraduisible et la résistance des idées à être traduites d’une langue en une autre. La métaphore, qui est l’apanage de la création littéraire, n’est pas un contenu univoque mais au contraire son interprétation peut varier d’un destinataire à un autre. Une telle caractéristique rend la tâche du traducteur très difficile. Certains chercheurs, afin de surmonter les difficultés culturelles qu’elle impose, suggèrent de la traiter comme s’il s’agit d’un mot autonome n’ayant aucun contexte. Pour d’autres cela s’avère impossible puisque la métaphore est le fruit de tout un contexte socioculturel et linguistique complexe. Cette hésitation qui affecte le traducteur, quand il est devant une construction métaphorique, nous met devant deux réalités essentielles : la première renvoie au fait que l’Autre peut être accessible à travers la traduction et la seconde nous montre que cette traduction, tout en essayant de rapprocher les cultures, met inévitablement en exergue les spécificités qui les différencient les unes des autres.

description: We study Riemann-type functional equations with respect to value-distribution theory and derive implications for their solutions. In particular, for a fixed complex number $a\neq0$ and a function from the Selberg class $\mathcal{L}$, we prove a Riemann-von Mangoldt formula for the number of a-points of the $Δ$-factor of the functional equation of $\mathcal{L}$ and an analog of Landau's formula over these points. From the last formula we derive that the ordinates of these $a$-points are uniformly distributed modulo one. Lastly, we show the existence of the mean-value of the values of $\mathcal{L}(s)$ taken at these points.

This generalizes Zagier's result on the quantum modularity for the "strange" series $F(q)$.

description: The attention mechanism is becoming increasingly popular in Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications, showing superior performance than convolutional and recurrent architectures. However, attention becomes the compution bottleneck because of its quadratic computational complexity to input length, complicated data movement and low arithmetic intensity. Moreover, existing NN accelerators mainly focus on optimizing convolutional or recurrent models, and cannot efficiently support attention. In this paper, we present SpAtten, an efficient algorithm-architecture co-design that leverages token sparsity, head sparsity, and quantization opportunities to reduce the attention computation and memory access. Inspired by the high redundancy of human languages, we propose the novel cascade token pruning to prune away unimportant tokens in the sentence. We also propose cascade head pruning to remove unessential heads. Cascade pruning is fundamentally different from weight pruning since there is no trainable weight in the attention mechanism, and the pruned tokens and heads are selected on the fly. To efficiently support them on hardware, we design a novel top-k engine to rank token and head importance scores with high throughput. Furthermore, we propose progressive quantization that first fetches MSBs only and performs the computation; if the confidence is low, it fetches LSBs and recomputes the attention outputs, trading computation for memory reduction.
 Extensive experiments on 30 benchmarks show that, on average, SpAtten reduces DRAM access by 10.0x with no accuracy loss, and achieves 1.6x, 3.0x, 162x, 347x speedup, and 1,4x, 3.2x, 1193x, 4059x energy savings over A3 accelerator, MNNFast accelerator, TITAN Xp GPU, Xeon CPU, respectively.

description: In (Hertwig et al. , 2003) Hertwig et al. draw a distinction between decisions from experience and decisions from description. In a decision from experience an agent does not have a summary description of the possible outcomes or their likelihoods. A career choice, deciding whether to back up a computer hard drive, cross a busy street, etc., are typical examples of decisions from experience. In such decisions agents can rely only of their encounters with the corresponding prospects. By contrast, an agent furnished with information sources such as drug-package inserts or mutual-fund brochures—all of which describe risky prospects—will often make decisions from description. In (Hertwig et al. , 2003) it is shown (empirically) that decisions from experience and decisions from description can lead to dramatically different choice behavior. Most of these results (summarized and analyzed in (Hertwig, 2009)) are concerned with the role of risk in decision making. This article presents some preliminary results concerning the role of uncertainty in decision-making. We focus on Ellsberg’s two-color problem and consider a chance setup based on double sampling. We report empirical results which indicate that decisions from description where subjects select between a clear urn, the chance setup based on double sampling and Ellsberg’s vague urn, are such that subjects perceive the chance setup at least as an intermediate option between clear and vague choices (and there is evidence indicating that the double sampling chance setup is seen as operationally indistinguishable from the vague urn). We then suggest how the iterated chance setup can be used in order to study decisions from experience in the case of uncertainty.

description: Abstract: A singular publication titled The Voice of the Vacation Ownership Industry: Developments, hereafter referred to as Developments, is dedicated to sharing development trends and issues pertaining to their readership base which consists of academicians, consumers, entrepreneurs, legislators, and resort developers. However, to date, there is an absence of empirically oriented studies within peer reviewed journals structured around modeling message content as aligned with information assimilation processes leveraged by that publication’s readership. In an effort to address that void, the enclosed research note is premised upon Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences whereby he proffers that individuals filter information through nine distinct intelligences which in turn allow an individual to dynamically encode message content as representative of the nine intelligences of 1) bodily-kinesthetic, 2) existential, 3) intrapersonal, 4) interpersonal, 5) linguistic, 6) logical-mathematical, 7) musical, 8) naturalistic, and 9) visual-spatial. The employed pilot study content analysis process indicates that all nine of Gardner’s multiple intelligences were represented albeit at differing levels of exposure, thus implying an incomplete representation as to how timeshare product offerings and services integrate with his/her hospitality and recreational values, attitudes, and interests.

description: Count data arise in various organizational settings. When the release of such data is sensitive, organizations need information-disclosure policies that protect data confidentiality while still providing data access. In contrast to extant disclosure policies, we describe a new policy for count tables that is based on disclosing only the sufficient statistics of a flexible discrete distribution. This distribution, the COM-Poisson, well approximates Poisson counts but also under- and over-dispersed counts. The sufficient statistics mask the exact cell counts and often also the table size. Under the scenario of a data holding agency and a data snooper, we show that this policy has low disclosure risk with no loss of data utility: Usually, many count tables correspond to the disclosed sufficient statistics. Furthermore, these count tables are equally likely to be the undisclosed table. Finding these solutions requires solving a system of linear equations, which are underdetermined for tables with more than three cells, and can be computationally prohibitive for even small tables. We also consider cell-specific interval bounds, a commonly used disclosure limitation policy, and compare them to our policy. We describe several types of snooper knowledge, their integration with the disclosed statistics, and implications. Applying this policy to three real data sets, we illustrate the low associated disclosure risk.

A Generalized Single Linkage Method for Estimating the Cluster Tree of a Density

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Probability
subject: Statistics
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The goal of clustering is to detect the presence of distinct groups in a data set and assign group labels to the observations. Nonparametric clustering is based on the premise that the observations may be regarded as a sample from some underlying density in feature space and that groups correspond to modes of this density. The goal then is to find the modes and assign each observation to the domain of attraction of a mode. The modal structure of a density is summarized by its cluster tree; modes of the density correspond to leaves of the cluster tree. Estimating the cluster tree is the primary goal of nonparametric cluster analysis. We adopt a plug-in approach to cluster tree estimation: estimate the cluster tree of the feature density by the cluster tree of a density estimate. For some density estimates the cluster tree can be computed exactly, for others we have to be content with an approximation. We present a graph-based method that can approximate the cluster tree of any density estimate. Density estimates tend to have spurious modes caused by sampling variability, leading to spurious branches in the cluster tree. We propose excess mass as a measure for the size of a branch, reflecting the height of the corresponding peak of the density above the surrounding valley floor as well as its spatial extent. Excess mass can be used as a guide for pruning the graph cluster tree. We point out mathematical and algorithmic connections to single linkage clustering and illustrate our approach on several examples.

The method is based on a non-standard finite differences approximation of the integral term appearing in the equation. The study of convergence properties and the analysis of the qualitative behavior of the numerical solution show that it preserves all the basic properties of the continuous model with no restrictive conditions on the step-length $h$ of integration and that it recovers the continuous dynamic as $h$ tends to zero.

description: We describe a Bayesian approach to infer phylogeny and ancestral genome arrangements on the basis of genome arrangement data using a model in which gene inversion is the sole mechanism of change. A Bayesian approach provides a means to quantify the uncertainty in the phylogeny and in the ancestral genome arrangements. We describe a method of sampling phylogenies from the posterior distribution via Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) that is computationally feasible for large data sets. We compare and contrast this MCMC approach with methods which reconstruct maximum parsimony phylogenies from genome arrangement data and demonstrate several advantages of a Bayesian approach to this problem. Furthermore, we have found that our sampler has discovered many genome rearrangement scenarios that require fewer gene inversions on a Campanulaceae cpDNA data set than other published reconstructions which were thought to be most parsimonious.

description: Within the Exceptional Supersymmetric Standard Model (E6SSM), we investigate striking signatures at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) for a long-lived charged inert higgsino, which is degenerate with the inert neutralino at tree level and a mass splitting of order O(0.3) GeV is generated at the loop level, resulting in a lifetime of order O(0.02) nanoseconds. We focus on the most sensitive search for long-lived charged inert higgsino decays to the lightest neutral inert higgsino Dark Matter (DM) and very soft charged leptons, which are eventually stopped in the detector resulting in a disappearing-track signal. Furthermore, we study the displaced vertex signature of the inert chargino in the case where it is produced via the Z' portal. We illustrate how difficult it is to construct displaced vertices in this class of models, though some evidence of these could be gained at the High Luminosity LHC. Finally, we compare the spin independent and spin dependent cross sections of the lightest inert higgsino DM to those of current direct detection experiments, proving that it is possible to gain sensitivity to the active DM component of this scenario in the near future. The combination of these signatures with the one emerging from Z' production and decay via Drell-Yan, which can be characterised as belonging to the E6SSM via both the cross section and Forward-Backward Asymmetry, could point uniquely to this non-minimal realisation of supersymmetry. In fact, we remark that these evidences of the E6SSM can also be correlated to the features of standard SUSY cascades in terms of the amount of missing transverse energy present therein.

description: L'objectif principal de cette recherche est d'analyser le niveau d'autonomisation des femmes dans le secteur agricole dans quatre zones agro-écologiques du Bénin à partir de l'application du "Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI). A cet effet, une démarche méthodologique combinant approches qualitative et quantitative a été adoptée. L’échantillon de la recherche est constitué de 311 Exploitations Familiales Paysannes (pour un total de 354 ménages) répartis dans 52 villages de quatre zones agro-écologiques. L'enquête par questionnaire, l'observation directe, le focus group ont été les techniques de recueil des informations utilisées. La triangulation des données empiriques révèle que l’indice d’autonomisation 5DE des femmes et l’indice de parité genre (GPI) dans les départements du Borgou et de l'Alibori étant respectivement 0,358 et 0,480, l’indice global d’autonomisation de la femme dans le secteur agricole (WEAI) dans la zone est évalué à 0,370. Moins de 2,5% des femmes sont associées au processus de prise de décision au sein de leurs ménages contre plus de 45% des hommes. Les hommes participent donc mieux que les femmes aux processus de prise de décision dans les cinq domaines d’indicateur de l’autonomisation agricole que sont : la production, les ressources, le revenu, le leadership et le temps. Néanmoins, il apparaît que la situation globale de l’autonomisation des femmes varie différemment suivant les types d’exploitations lorsqu’on passe d’une zone agro-écologique à une autre.

description: We prove that the fundamental group of 3-surgery on a nontrivial knot in the 3-sphere always admits an irreducible SU(2)-representation. This answers a question of Kronheimer and Mrowka dating from their work on the Property P conjecture. An important ingredient in our proof is a relationship between instanton Floer homology and the symplectic Floer homology of genus-2 surface diffeomorphisms, due to Ivan Smith. We use similar arguments at the end to extend our main result to infinitely many surgery slopes in the interval [3,5).

description: In the sparse linear regression setting, we consider testing the significance of the predictor variable that enters the current lasso model, in the sequence of models visited along the lasso solution path. We propose a simple test statistic based on lasso fitted values, called the it covariance test statistic, and show that when the true model is linear, this statistic has an Exp(1) asymptotic distribution under the null hypothesis (the null being that all truly active variables are contained in the current lasso model). Our proof of this result assumes some (reasonable) regularity conditions on the predictor matrix $X$, and covers the important high-dimensional case p>n.
Of course, for testing the significance of an additional variable between two nested linear models, one may use the usual chi-squared test, comparing the drop in residual sum of squares (RSS) to a x2_1 distribution. But when this additional variable is not fixed, but has been chosen adaptively or greedily, this test is no longer appropriate: adaptivity makes the drop in RSS stochastically much larger than X^2_1 under the null hypothesis. Our analysis explicitly accounts for adaptivity, as it must, since the lasso builds an adaptive sequence of linear models as the tuning parameter λ decreases. In this analysis, shrinkage plays a key role: though additional variables are chosen adaptively, the coefficients of lasso active variables are shrunken due to the  ℓ1 penalty. Therefore the test statistic (which is based on lasso fitted values) is in a sense balanced by these two opposing properties---adaptivity and shrinkage---and its null distribution is tractable and asymptotically Exp(1).

Music Artist Discovery: The Digital Road to the Top of the Radio

description: Radio is a powerful and influential medium with a vast and encompassing audience reaching
about 244.5 million consumers a year (Nielsen, 2014). Consequently, a music artist’s position on
the top charts of radio is a primary measure of success in the music industry. It is of particular
interest to record labels to promote and position their artists in a way to ensure they hit the top
charts of radio. When identifying potential artists to join their label, record labels may also be
interested in assessing how likely an artist is to hit the top charts of radio. This paper is a
statistical analysis examining the relationship between an artist’s online presence and their
appearance on the top charts of radio. It is hypothesized that artists with higher activity online
are more likely to reach radio’s merit of success. First, radio data and artist online activity data
were collected from two sources. The data were then linked using statistical data matching
techniques to create one relational database. The online channels examined include Facebook,
Wikipedia, Twitter, Youtube, Vevo and SoundCloud. The linked data were then used to fit a
logistic regression model with the explanatory variables as summarized time series variables for
each online medium. However, this approach was not found to adequately capture the
relationships. Instead, a Cox Proportional Hazards model predicting an artist’s presence on the
top chart of radio was fit. The final findings show evidence urging artists and record labels to
place increased attention on their use of Twitter, Vevo and SoundCloud. After establishing an
online presence, the expected time period of success is between 1 and 3 years.

description: Exciton-phonon coupling (ExPC) is crucial for energy relaxation in semiconductors, yet the first-principles calculation of such coupling remains challenging, especially for low-dimensional systems. Here, an accurate algorithm for calculating ExPC is developed and applied in exciton relaxation problems in monolayer WSe2. Considering the interplay between the exciton wave functions and electron-phonon coupling (EPC) matrix elements, we find that ExPC shows distinct selection rules from the ones of EPC. By employing the Wannier exciton model, we generalize these selection rules, which state that the angular quantum numbers of the exciton must match the winding numbers of the EPC matrix elements for the ExPC to be allowed. To verify our theory and algorithm, we calculate inter-valley exciton relaxation pathways, which agrees well with a recent experiment.

description: De nombreuses études ont démontré la vitalité des confréries musulmanes et leur capacité d’adaptation et de régénérescence. Parmi celle-ci, la Tijâniyya qui s’est montrée particulièrement active et dynamique en Afrique de l’ouest. Au Niger, où elle s’est implantée, cette tarîqa n’a cessé de se ramifier et de créer de nouvelles filiales. Parmi ces filiales on en compte plusieurs dont la zawiya « Cheikh Youssouf » de Zinder. Cette zawiya se distingue par le dynamisme de la sociabilité qu’elle crée, qui résulte du pouvoir charismatique de son fondateur. Elle est de ce fait, une véritable école dans laquelle les disciples sont éduqués spirituellement mais aussi socialement. Le dynamisme des relations sociales qui se nouent entre les membres est fondé sur des liens sacrés enseignés par la doctrine soufie dont les normes et valeurs prônent la fraternité, l’entraide et l’hospitalité. Espace de solidarités, lieu d’expression des valeurs d’entraide et de soutien mutuels, la zawiya « Cheikh Youssouf » de Zinder constitue un modèle de réussite d’une fraternité confrérique. Ouverte sur le monde, elle noue des liens tant avec les zawiyas locales qu’avec celles de l’extérieure. Elle constitue ainsi un maillon important du vaste réseau transnational de la Tijâniyya.

description: Les relations sino-africaines sont au centre des débats actuels depuis l’émergence de celle-ci sur la scène internationale, marquées par un engagement et une forte présence sur le continent africain. Cette émergence de la Chine comme acteur principal en Afrique est incontestable et résulte d’une nouvelle dynamique globale qui place la Chine au centre de la politique mondiale contemporaine. Tel engagement se traduit par l’injection d’énormes investissements, l’amélioration des infrastructures, l’ouverture de nouveaux marchés et l’expansion de son capital humain. Cependant, et malgré les inquiétudes exprimées par certains cercles politico-économiques en Afrique, l’implantation de la Chine est considérée comme un jeu à somme positive justifié par l’aide au développement chinoise qui diffère de celle des autres bailleurs de fond (occidentaux), et suit le modèle « Développementaliste », qui n’est liée à aucune conditionnalité politique ou interventionniste. C’est dans cette perspective que s’inscrit cette réflexion qui met en exergue l’évolution historique de l’implantation chinoise et sa contribution au développement du continent africain, en particulier, l’Afrique du Nord, ainsi que l’opportunité et les facteurs explicatifs de tel intérêt.
