In the physical world, people have dynamic preferences, e.g., the same situation can lead to satisfaction for some humans and to frustration for others. Personalization is called for. The same observation holds for online behavior with…
The quality of numerical reconstructions for unknown parameters in inverse problems depends fundamentally on the selection of experimental data. To ensure a robust reconstruction, it is crucial to select data that are sensitive to the…
This paper explores the automated analysis of palmar features using machine learning techniques. We present a computer vision pipeline that extracts key characteristics from palm images, such as principal line structures, texture, and shape…
The number of algorithms available to reconstruct a biological network from a dataset of high-throughput measurements is nowadays overwhelming, but evaluating their performance when the gold standard is unknown is a difficult task. Here we…
Modern data sets, such as those in healthcare and e-commerce, are often derived from many individuals or systems but have insufficient data from each source alone to separately estimate individual, often high-dimensional, model parameters.…
The accurate and reliable description of measurement devices is a central problem in both observing uniquely non-classical behaviors and realizing quantum technologies from powerful computing to precision metrology. To date quantum…
Implicit neural representation (INR) has become the standard approach for arbitrary-scale image super-resolution (ASSR). To date, no empirical study has systematically examined the effectiveness of existing methods, nor investigated the…
Compressed sensing is triggering a major evolution in signal acquisition. It consists in sampling a sparse signal at low rate and later using computational power for its exact reconstruction, so that only the necessary information is…
Reminiscence, the act of revisiting past memories, is crucial for self-reflection and social interaction, significantly enhancing psychological well-being, life satisfaction, and self-identity among older adults. In HCI and CSCW, there is…
Cyber risk assessment is a fundamental activity for enhancing the protection of an organization, identifying and evaluating the exposure to cyber threats. Currently, this activity is carried out mainly manually and the identification and…
Security risk assessment is essential in establishing the trustworthiness and reliability of modern systems. While various security risk assessment approaches exist, prevalent applications are "pen and paper" implementations that -- even if…
Automated evaluation metrics as a stand-in for manual evaluation are an essential part of the development of text-generation tasks such as text summarization. However, while the field has progressed, our standard metrics have not -- for…
While deep learning has contributed to the advancement of sensor-based Human Activity Recognition (HAR), it is usually a costly and challenging supervised task with the needs of a large amount of labeled data. To alleviate this issue,…
