Teaching architecture : Peter Zumthor and the foundations of composition

De Conti Lorentz, Rafael ; Angonese, Walter (Dir.) ; Rakowitz, Gundula (Codir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2021 ; 2021ARC003.

In 1996, the newly founded Academy of Architecture of Mendrisio invited Peter Zumthor to be the professor in charge of one of the school’s first three design studios. What took form from that was a singular educational experience, conducted by Zumthor as a didactic project spanning a three-year period - the academic years of 1996-97, 1997-98 and 1998-99 - and comprehending a sequence of 19...

Analyzing system performance with probabilistic performance annotations

Rogora, Daniele ; Carzaniga, Antonio (Dir.) ; Soulé, Robert (Codir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2020 ; 2020INFO024.

Understanding the performance of software is complicated. For several performance metrics, in addition to the algorithmic complexity, one must also consider the dynamics of running a program within different combinations of hardware and software environments. Such dynamical aspects are not visible from the code alone, and any kind of static analysis falls short. For example, in reality, the...

A general theory of rock glacier creep based on in-situ and remote sensing observations

Cicoira, Alessandro ; Marcer, Marco ; Gärtner‐Roer, Isabelle ; Bodin, Xavier ; Arenson, Lukas U. ; Vieli, Andreas

In: Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, 2020, vol. 32, no. 1, p. 139-153

The ongoing acceleration in rock glacier velocities concurrent with increasing air temperatures, and the widespread onset of rock glacier destabilization have reinforced the interest in rock glacier dynamics and in its coupling to the climate system. Despite the increasing number of studies investigating this phenomenon, our knowledge of both the fundamental mechanisms controlling rock...

Neural Machine Reading for Domain-Specific Text Resources

Arnold, Sebastian ; Cudré-Mauroux, Philippe (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Université de Fribourg, 2020.

The vision of Machine Reading is to automatically understand written text and transform the contained information into machine-readable representations. This thesis approaches this challenge in particular in the context of commercial organizations. Here, an abundance of domain-specific knowledge is frequently stored in unstructured text resources. Existing methods often fail in this scenario,...
