Neural networks are vulnerable to adversarial examples and researchers have proposed manyheuristic attack and defense mechanisms. We take the principled view of distributionally ro-bust optimization, which guarantees performance under adversarial input perturbations. Byconsidering a Lagrangian penalty formulation of perturbation of the underlying data distribu-tion in a Wasserst...

This paper presents an environment for programming distributed memory computers using a language such as High Performance Fortran. Emphasis is put on compilation techniques for parallel loops and on the associated runtime support. A multi-threads scheme has been deened and implemented in order to eeciently overlap the communication and the computation phases. Un ex ecutif utilisant les processu...

This paper assesses empirically the relationship between GDP per capita growth uctuations and the age structure and intensity of human capital across developed and developing countries We estimate a spatial vector autoregressive model of income dynamics where the economic distance between countries is de ned on their similarity in measures of human capital and its distribu tion across age group...

We consider a problem central in aerial visual surveil lance applications detection and tracking of small independently moving objects in long and noisy video sequences We directly use spatiotemporal image inten sity gradient measurements to compute an exact model of background motion This allows the creation of ac curate mosaics over many frames and the de nition of a constraint violation func...

Atherogenesis constitutes a prominent mechanism in inducing stenosis of the vascular lu‐ men by multiple mechanisms within contextual reference of heterogeneity of pathways and phenotype determinants. Reduction of low-density lipoprotein-C has well-established value and constitutes a major guideline for cardiovascular disease prevention [38]. Redox state im‐ balance plays a role in preclinical ...

spatial measurements of conductivity, temperature and depth were used to study salinity variations along the principal channels of the tidal hypersaline creek network in the vicinity of bushehr port, persian gulf during three 25- tidal cycles in both warm and cold months. salinity variations and tidal fluctuations were out of phase throughout the short inverse estuary. the salinity values insid...

Introduction. To date, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) has not yet been extensively studied: the molecular factors and mechanisms involved in initiation of polypous transformations mucosa (NM) sustaining their recurrence probability are still to be determined. Simultaneously, it is necessary understand rearrangement NM tissues make clinical prognosis choose an adequate therape...
