The signed distance measure in fuzzy statistical analysis : Some theoretical, empirical and programming advances

Berkachy, Rédina ; Donzé, Laurent (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Université de Fribourg, 2020.

This thesis intends to present some advances in fuzzy statistical analyses. A particular distance between fuzzy numbers called the signed distance, seems to be appealing because of its directional property. It has the ability of describing the direction of travel between two fuzzy numbers. In addition, it has been often used as a fuzzy ranking tool or a defuzzification operator. Despite the...

Unsupervised and Parameter-Free Clustering of Large Graphs for Knowledge Exploration and Recommendation

Lutov, Artem ; Cudré-Mauroux, Philippe (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Université de Fribourg, 2020 ; no. 2192.

Nous vivons une ère où la quantité d’informations échangées augmente rapidement. Cette quantité croissante de données fait que la capacité de stocker, d’analyser et d’agir sur les informations une préoccupation principale (en plus des problèmes apparents de confidentialité, juridiques et éthiques qui y sont liés), soulevant la question : “Comment peut-on consommer des...

Archaeometrical study of Khmer stoneware from the Angkorian period: Results from the Cerangkor Project

Thirion‐Merle, V. ; Thierrin‐Michael, Gisela ; Desbat, A.

In: Archaeometry, 2019, vol. 61, no. 6, p. 1246–1263

In the area around Angkor, Cambodia, several ceramics kilns dating from the ninth to 15th centuries ce have been discovered since 1995. The technical, typological and compositional characterization of their production has been one of the main goals of the Cerangkor Project. Samples of green‐glazed ‘Kulen‐type' stoneware and non‐ glazed stoneware produced in five kiln sites in the...

APCNN: Tackling Cclass imbalance in relation extraction through aggregated piecewise convolutional neural networks

Smirnova, Alisa ; Audiffren, Julien ; Cudré-Mauroux, Philippe

In: 2019 6th Swiss Conference on Data Science (SDS), 2019, p. 63–68

One of the major difficulties in applying distant supervision to relation extraction is class imbalance, as the distribution of relations appearing in text is heavily skewed. This is particularly damaging for the multi-instance variant of relation extraction. In this work, we introduce a new model called Aggregated Piecewise Convolutional Neural Networks, or APCNN, to address this problem....

Nodesketch: highly-efficient graph embeddings via recursive sketching

Yang, Dingqi ; Rosso, Paolo ; Li, Bin ; Cudré-Mauroux, Philippe

In: Proceedings of the 25th ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery & Data Mining, 2019, p. 1162–1172

Embeddings have become a key paradigm to learn graph representations and facilitate downstream graph analysis tasks. Existing graph embedding techniques either sample a large number of node pairs from a graph to learn node embeddings via stochastic optimization, or factorize a high-order proximity/adjacency matrix of the graph via expensive matrix factorization. However, these techniques...

Non-parametric class completeness estimators for collaborative knowledge graphs — the case of wikidata

Luggen, Michael ; Difallah, Djellel ; Sarasua, Cristina ; Demartini, Gianluca ; Cudré-Mauroux, Philippe

In: The Semantic Web – ISWC 2019, 2019, p. 453-469

Collaborative Knowledge Graph platforms allow humans and automated scripts to collaborate in creating, updating and interlinking entities and facts. To ensure both the completeness of the data as well as a uniform coverage of the different topics, it is crucial to identify underrepresented classes in the Knowledge Graph. In this paper, we tackle this problem by developing statistical techniques...

Eighteen years of steel–bentonite interaction in the FEBEX in situ test at the Grimsel Test Site in Switzerland

Hadi, Jebril ; Wersin, Paul ; Serneels, Vincent ; Greneche, Jean-Marc

In: Clays and Clay Minerals, 2019, vol. 67, no. 2, p. 111–131

Corrosion of steel canisters containing buried high-level radioactive waste is a relevant issue for the long-term integrity of repositories. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate this issue by examining two differently corroded blocks originating from a full-scale in situ test of the FEBEX bentonite site in Switzerland. The FEBEX experiment was designed initially as a feasibility...

A Fuzzy-Based User Privacy Framework and Recommender System : Case of a Platform for Political Participation

Kaskina, Aigul ; Meier, Andreas (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Université de Fribourg, 2018 ; no. 2098.

Avec l’avènement d’une nouvelle ère, celle de la société numérique, les utilisateurs laissent derrière eux un grand nombre d’empreintes numériques qui constituent la source d’un nouveau bien économique. L’exploitation intensive du Big Data, de l’intelligence artificielle, de l’informatique cognitive, pour ne citer que quelques exemples, donne de la valeur aux données et en...

Authorship attribution and profiling in Spanish and English language

Miculicich, Lesly ; Savoy, Jacques (Dir.)

Mémoire de master : Université de Fribourg, 2014.

The authorship attribution is the practice of inferring the author of a given text based on the analysis of her/his writing style. It has been largely used in literature work disputes but it has other interesting applications such as forensics and plagiarism detection. The purpose of this project is to experiment and present a solution that can identify the authors of a given corpora. We have two...
