description: The Camden Home Library Service (HLS) delivers books to people who are housebound due to a range of health related issues. The service is currently under review due to the central government cuts to local government funding.
The Home Library Service project paired MDes Service Design Innovation students from London College of Communication with HLS frontline officers to explore the future of the HLS through service design thinking methods and tools, engaging different stakeholders, including community groups and the public. They co-designed how the HLS may be reconfigured in the future through new relationships and technology, exploring opportunities for the service to be utilised to address other societal problems such as loneliness and related social care issues. Within this process they also looked at the reconfiguration of organisational practice within the Home Libraries Team.Journey and methodology— Design ethnographic work on the Home Library Service and its users— Presentation to Camden officers from across departments on the value of the HLS and feedback on the fieldwork— Workshop at Age UK with non-HLS users— Workshop at the Ideas Lab in a neighbouring London borough with elderly users— Interviews with a wide range of stakeholders involved in Adult Social Care— Exploration of possible service opportunities through technology, volunteers and a form of Adult Social Care through a workshop with Council officers and HLS team membersOutputs and outcomesThrough analysing the findings from their observation, interviews and co-design workshops, the students identified three areas of design opportunity:Expanding the HLS into Adult Social CareEmploying volunteersIntroducing digital technology to streamline processesAs the project progressed within the three areas, it became apparent that to support the individual service concepts and their interlinkage, a transparent and interactive user profiling system would need to be developed. Thus, a Common Platform to support the individual service concepts was proposed. The Home Libraries project findings fed into a consultation document on the future of the HLS that was subsequently delivered to the Cabinet office.
Adaptive Methods for Parameter-agnostic Nonconvex Minimax Optimization
Creators: name: Li, Xiang
Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2022

description: In optimization, one notable gap between theoretical analyses and practice is that converging algorithms in theory usually requires prior knowledge of problem-dependent parameters, which are often unavailable in practice. A prominent example is the stepsize used in gradient descent in nonconvex minimization problems. Compared to vanilla gradient descent, adaptive gradient methods have shown their ability to adjust the stepsizes on the fly in a parameter-agnostic manner, and empirically achieve faster convergence for solving minimization problems. However, when it comes to nonconvex minimax optimization, the requirement of careful tuning of hyper-parameters or the knowledge of problem-dependent parameters can not be easily alleviated by directly combining the most commonly used minimax optimization algorithm, gradient descent ascent (GDA), with adaptive stepsizes. Such a discrepancy arises from the primal-dual nature of minimax problems and the necessity of delicate time-scale separation between the primal and dual updates in attaining convergence. In this work, we investigate the insights behind the ability of AdaGrad to adapt to parameters in minimization, and following the intuition, we propose a single-loop adaptive GDA algorithm called TiAda for nonconvex minimax optimization that automatically adapts to the time-scale separation. Our algorithm is fully parameter-agnostic and can achieve nearoptimal complexities simultaneously in deterministic and stochastic settings of nonconvex-strongly-concave minimax problems. The effectiveness of the proposed method is further justified numerically for a number of machine learning applications.

Dual adaptive MPC using an exact reformulation of set-membership identification
Creators: name: Liu, Diyou
Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2022

description: This work considers linear systems affected by uncertain parameters and additive disturbances. An adaptive model predictive control (MPC) framework is introduced, which can be used with two different parameterizations of state tubes. In this framework, set-membership identification is used to reduce parameter uncertainty online. A novel technique is proposed to formulate a prediction of the set-membership identification within the MPC optimization problem. A predicted worst case cost is used as the MPC objective to enable-performance based dual control. An extension of the algorithm to an uncertain time varying systems is also presented. The performances of the proposed methods and state-of-the-art techniques are compared using a numerical example.

Data-driven modeling of heat pumps and thermal storage units for MPC
Creators: name: Brandes, Matthias
Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2022

description: The integration of renewable energy sources in the power grid poses new challenges for grid operators. Demand-side resources are promising candidates to address this challenge. Advanced control strategies can enable, such as peak shaving and load shifting. Heat pump systems coupled with thermal storage units acting as an energy buffer will play a vital role in supporting system operation in the future. As one example of advanced control strategies, MPC requires accurate models with good prediction performance to guarantee optimal performance. As part of full building models, heat pump models require special attention. Finding a good balance between model complexity and the accuracy of such models is a challenge. Non-linear dynamics in heat pumps and buffer tanks make the identification and control more complex. Traditional approaches for heat pump and tank models are grey-box or dynamic physical-based models. These models often lack reduced modeling accuracy.
This work investigates two data-driven dynamic modeling techniques SINDy and DMDc, besides the classic static modeling approach. Linear and non-linear state space models have proven to be easily interpretable while providing good prediction performance for already minimal training data. Modeling results for all three techniques are analyzed in depth with model complexity and a sampling efficiency evaluation. To emphasize the applicability of these identification techniques, models for two case studies for both heating and cooling operations have been evaluated. In a final step, an MPC framework was implemented, comparing three different objective functions with state-of-the-art hysteresis control. Results show that no more than two days are required for well-performing linear models for the heat pump and the buffer tank. The analysis has also shown that the modeling techniques are well applicable for both case studies.
Scalable adaptive model predictive control with parameterized tubes
Creators: name: Liu, Diyou
Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2022

description: This work considers linear systems with uncertain parameters and additive disturbance. Two frameworks for the adaptive model predictive controller (MPC) with different tube parameterizations are introduced to guarantee robustness for uncertain parameters and disturbances. The set membership identification approach, which uses a membership set to bound the uncertain parameter set, is applied to reduce the uncertainty. Moreover, a method is proposed to formulate the membership set prediction within the MPC optimization problem. The inputs to the system are chosen based on a worst-case cost function over the predicted membership set. An extension to the uncertain time varying system is also presented. Finally, the proposed methods are compared to the state-of-the-art techniques over a numerical example. Key word: dual control, robust control, adaptive model predictive controller, set membership, uncertain time varying system.

description: Over the past decades, interest in finance, and more particularly interest in the evolution as well as the prediction of the markets, exploded. One aim that the automatic control laboratory at ETH Zürich would want to achieve is to use some of the robotic optimization models and to apply them to finance. During this internship, I only worked on the financial part of the problem. The main goal of my internship was to create some predictions and optimizations in Python based on known simulations such as Monte-Carlo. Initially, I mostly studied the theory under prediction methods as well as neural networks. Indeed, these are really needed in predictions. Then, I developed my researches by creating my own prediction model codes. Finally, I work on the optimization of the wealth of a portfolio by following the evolution of a market. This internship is therefore a first step towards the desired application by the laboratory.

title: An analysis of the portrayal of immigration in the Spanish press with a particular focus on compassion fatigue and the impact of the image and the caption
Creators: name: Bryceland, Claire Laura
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Immigration, immigrants, Almeria, Andalusia, Media, Spanish media, Patera: A dinghy or small wooden boat, commonly used to transport illegal immigrants, Compassion Fatigue: Indifference towards an issue in the media caused by repeated exposure to shocking/negative images/reports, Inmigrante: Immigrant (Spanish term), La Voz de Almería/La Voz: A local newspaper from the province of Almeria.

description: This research was set out to explore the concept of immigration within the Spanish press, as Spain is a large country with differing views, this project provides a framework for understanding the harsh reality of life as an immigrant versus the ways in which immigrants are portrayed in the press. Immigration is a reoccurring topic within the news and this project assesses the way in which immigration related coverage and reporting on the media sphere influences the reception of immigration. This thesis focused on areas within Andalusia, specifically the province of Almeria as it is often viewed as the entry point to Europe from Africa. Following one year living in the area, it became evident that, despite the high number of immigration related tragedies and the increase in the influx of immigrants into the area, immigration was a topic of little interest to the local people. This encouraged a desire to research more and find out why this was the case. Ethical limitations initially put a halt to my investigation as I was unable to communicate with undocumented individuals. The fact that a research project on immigration, particularly those of illegal status, meant that I was unable to find out the true stories and opinions of those affected emphasises that the topic is one fraught with difficulties and challenges which must be tackled. This thesis is important as it raises awareness to the fact that the local media, in this case in Spain, are selective in their use of images and generally portray immigration as a negative social problem. Several interviews with professionals in the field, as well as locals from the area provided abundant information on the general public opinion of immigration in Almeria. This was useful for the main section of my thesis - an analysis of immigration related photography and newspaper articles. This project reviews the photographic techniques and the captions used to portray immigration related events and argues that the lack of interest in immigration is a result of Susan Sontag’s theory of compassion fatigue. The negative stigma attached to immigration in Almeria is a consequence of the repetitive news discourses which focus primarily on the crime story, rather than the wellbeing of immigrants.

description: Kundinnen und Kunden, die beraten, mitgestalten, Feedback geben? Die ETH-Bibliothek erschliesst im Rahmen ihrer Aktivitäten im Bereich Marktforschung verschiedene Wege, um mit ihren Zielgruppen in Dialog zu treten.
Der Vortrag beleuchtet anhand ausgewählter Praxisbeispiele im Umfeld einer naturwissenschaftlich-technischen Hochschule, wie die ETH-Bibliothek ihre Kundinnen und Kunden in die Entwicklung ihrer Angebote einbezieht und blickt auf geplante Aktivitäten:
Sounding Boards mit Vertreterinnen und Vertretern verschiedener Zielgruppen geben als beratende Gremien Einblicke in ihren Studien- oder Forschungsalltag, beurteilen Produktideen oder Testen neue Services. In Co-Creation entwickelte Angebote treiben die Verankerung dieser Form der Zusammenarbeit mit Kundinnen und Kunden in der Bibliothek voran. Unterschiedliche Befragungsmethoden finden Anwendung, wenn es zum Beispiel in Projekten darum geht, Bedürfnisse zu ermitteln oder zu messen, wie gut Angebote oder Marketingaktivitäten bei Kundinnen und Kunden ankommen.
Dialog mit Aussen bedeutet auch Dialog mit Innen. Und so wird künftig ein Fokus darauf liegen, bibliotheksintern Strukturen zu schaffen, um das Bewusstsein für und die Beschäftigung mit dem Thema Einbezug von Kundinnen und Kunden weiter zu festigen.

Description & Diagnosis. Wingspan 17–23 mm. Light sandy brown, with indistinct paler and darker transverse bands across forewing, more or less in parallel to distal margin. Similar to L. parva, which is of the same size, but distinguished by the more clearly defined wing markings and the darker hindwings in parva; also similar to L. luigi, but differing from itby the absence of darker scaling on veins crossing the postmedial band and by smaller size(Fig. 28). Male genitalia (Fig. 54) are characterized by a horn-shaped, curved projection from the middle of costa and a relatively short but strong dorsal arm of harpe, which is spined in its distal half. The harpe is formed like a triangular process, arising from the middle of the valve, the latter strongly sclerotized except the distal part. Female genitalia (Fig. 73) with a large, strongly sclerotized, funnel-shaped antrum, ductus bursae very short, corpus bursae membranous, without internal spines, a small diverticulum present.
Bionomics. All specimens studied are collected in April and May (in semidesert areas).
Additional data on distribution based on literature sources. Shchetkin (1965a): SW Tajikistan, Vahkhs valley; Viidalepp (1988): Kopet-Dagh (Khorasan-e Shomali).
Distribution. From northern foothills of Kopet-Dagh (Turkmenistan) to western Tajikistan (Map 6). May also be present at the Iranian side of Kopet-Dagh.

description: High-quality metadata has always been essential for the use of collections in GLAMs. The use of machine learning methods opens numerous new possibilities in this context, but also poses new challenges for cultural heritage institutions. The image archive of the ETH Library in Zurich addresses this situation by generating and curating not only one but multiple metadata layers. The basis is formed by classic manual archive and library cataloguing. In addition, a group of external volunteers assists the Image Archive (https://ba.e-pics.ethz.ch) in enriching sparse or missing metadata (approx. 20,000 items per year). 35’000 images per year are georeferenced on a three-dimensional globe using the crowdsourcing platform sMapshot (https://smapshot.heig-vd.ch/owner/ethz). In the past months, the Image Archive started to include machine learning tools in its portfolio to broaden its experience in this field. First, key metadata fields were converted into English with the help of automatic translations. In addition, commercial software was used to recognize and label the nearly one million digitized images. The resulting keywords were integrated into the search interface, so far without manual post-processing, as a public pilot. In our paper, we would like to take a closer look at the work with these different levels, analyze the resulting challenges and provide an outlook on future activities. In doing so, we would like to contribute to the question of how archives can implement the idea of collections as data in the context of visual AI. We are particularly interested in how GLAM institutions can overcome data silos and create a data cycle that is characterized by the principles of FAIR and ideally generates added value for all stakeholders involved.

description: Das Discovery-System Primo VE der ETH-Bibliothek enthält unter anderem Metadaten zu Materialien aus den Sammlungen und Archiven der ETH Zürich. Diese Materialien enthalten oft wichtige historische Informationen. Wie können Forscherinnen und Forscher diese Bestände effizient auffinden und kontextualisieren?
Wir konnten einige Ideen mit Hilfe von Primo VE Customizing und Linked Data umsetzen.
Eine unserer Ideen war es, unsere Dokumente untereinander sowie mit anderen Daten und Systemen über die Kategorie «Person» zu verknüpfen.
Ein Discovery-System enthält Artikel, Bücher, Bilder, Drucke und andere Dokumente. Aber wo ist die Person? Nur in einem Metadatenfeld?
Am Anfang unserer Erweiterungen standen die Personenkarten. Immer wenn es zu den Autoren eines Dokumentes GND IDs gibt, werden auf der Detailseite dieses Dokumentes zusätzlich Personenkarten dargestellt.
Neben kurzen biographischen Informationen und einem Bild sind Links zu anderen Sites, zu Archiven und Forscherprofilen enthalten.
Aber wie ist die Person verlinkbar?
Wir generieren für die Entität «Person» in Primo VE spezielle Personenseiten. Eine Personenseite repräsentiert die Person, ist in beide Richtungen verlinkbar und sammelt Ressourcen, die zu dieser Person gehören.
Eine URL identifiziert diese Seite und enthält den eindeutigen Wikidata Identifier, die QID.
Mit einer noch weitergehende Entwicklung analysiert das Primo VE Customizing den eingegebenen Suchbegriff darauf, ob eventuell eine Person gemeint ist. In diesem Fall bietet es eine passende Liste von Personen an, die auf die jeweiligen Personenseiten verlinkt sind. Das unterstützt die Benutzenden, disambiguiert und hilft bei Namensvarianten.
