Boosting a Bridge Artificial Intelligence
2017
2017 IEEE 29th International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence (ICTAI)
Bridge is an incomplete information game which is complex both for humans and for computer bridge programs. The purpose of this paper is to present our work related to the adaptation to bridge of a recent methodology used for boosting game Artificial Intelligence (AI) by seeking a random seed, or a probability distribution on random seeds, better than the others on a particular game. The bridge AI Wbridge5 developed by Yves Costel has been boosted with the best seed found on the outcome of

Development Of C-Type Lectin Oriented Surfaces For High Avidity Glycoconjugates: Towards Mimicking Multivalent Interactions On The Cell Surface
[article]
2019
bioRxiv
pre-print
Multivalent interactions between complex carbohydrates and oligomeric C-type lectins govern a wide range of immune responses. Up to date, standard SPR (surface plasmon resonance) competitive assays have largely been to evaluate binding properties from monosaccharide units (low affinity, mM) to multivalent elemental antagonists (moderate affinity, μM). Herein, we report typical case-studies of SPR competitive assays showing that they underestimate the potency of glycoclusters to inhibit the

... action between DC-SIGN and immobilized glycoconjugates. This paper describes the design and implementation of a SPR direct interaction over DC-SIGN oriented surfaces, extendable to other C-type lectin surfaces as such Langerin. This setup provides a microscopic overview of intrinsic avidity generation emanating simultaneously from multivalent glycoclusters and from DC-SIGN tetramers that are organized in nanoclusters on the cell membrane. For this purpose, covalent biospecific capture of DC-SIGN via StreptagII /StrepTactin interaction offers the preservation of tetrameric DC-SIGN and the accessibility/functionality of all active sites. From the tested glycoclusters libraries, we demonstrated that the scaffold architecture, the valency and the glycomimetic-based ligand are crucial to reach nanomolar affinities for DC-SIGN. The glycocluster 3.D illustrates the tightest binding partner in this set for a DC-SIGN surface (Kd= 18 nM). Moreover, the selectivity at monovalent scale of glycomimetic D can be easily analyzed at multivalent scale comparing its binding over different C-type lectin immobilized surfaces. This approach may give rise to novel insights into the multivalent binding mechanisms responsible to avidity and make a major contribution to the full characterization of the binding potency of promising specific and multivalent immunomodulators.
Skin temperature from the Thermal Infrared Sounder IASI
2019
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques Discussions
<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Skin temperature (Tskin) derived from infrared sensors on board satellites provides a continuous view of Earth's surface day and night and allows for the monitoring of global temperature changes relevant for climate trends. Tskin from the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) has not been properly exploited to date to assess its long-term spatio-temporal variability and no current homogenous Tskin record from IASI exists. In this study, we present a

... st retrieval method of Tskin based on an artificial neural network from a set of IASI channels selected using the information theory/entropy reduction technique. We compare and validate our IASI Tskin product with that from EUMETSAT Level 2, ECMWF Reanalysis ERA5, SEVIRI land-surface temperature products, as well as ground measurements. Our results show good correlation between the IASI neural network product and the datasets used for validation, with a standard deviation between 1 and 4 °C. This method can be applied to other infrared measurements, and allows for the construction of a robust Tskin dataset, making it suitable for trend analysis.</p>

... d in this paper show the good quality of the mission products both in terms of radiometry and geometry and provide an overview on next mission steps related to data quality aspects. between minimizing cloud cover and ensuring suitable sun illumination. An overview of the MSI imaging payload is provided in the following section. The Sentinel-2 satellites will systematically acquire observations over land and coastal areas from −56 ° to 84 ° latitude including islands larger 100 km 2 , EU islands, all other islands less than 20 km from the coastline, the whole Mediterranean Sea, all inland water bodies and all closed seas. Over specific calibration sites, for example DOME-C in Antarctica, additional observations will be made. The two satellite units will work on opposite sides of the orbit. Sentinel-2A launch took place in June 2015 and Sentinel-2B is foreseen beginning 2017. Therefore, this paper focuses only on the performances achieved by Sentinel-2A. The availability of products with good data quality performances (both in terms of radiometry and geometry accuracies) has a paramount importance for many applications. This is indeed a key enabling factor for an easier exploitation of time-series, inter-comparison of measurements from different sensors or detection of changes in the landscape. Calibration and validation (Cal/Val) corresponds to the process of updating and validating on-board and on-ground configuration parameters and algorithms to ensure that the product data quality requirements are met. This paper provides a description of the calibration activities and the current status, one year after Sentinel-2A launch, of the mission products validation activities. Measured performances, derived from the validation activities, have been estimated for both Top-Of-Atmosphere (TOA) and Bottom-Of-Atmosphere (BOA) products (referred respectively as Level-1 and Level-2A and further described later in this paper). . Multi-Spectral Instrument Overview This section provides a brief overview of Sentinel-2 Multi-Spectral Instrument (MSI). It aims at giving to the reader the basis required to fully understand the measured performances and the Calibration and Validation (Cal/Val) approach. MSI Design The MSI instrument design has been driven by the large swath requirement together with the demanding geometrical and spectral performances of the measurements. It is based on a push-broom concept, featuring a Three-Mirror Anastigmatic (TMA) telescope feeding two focal planes spectrally separated by a dichroic filter, as shown on Figure 1 . One focal plane includes the Visible and Near-Infrared (VNIR) bands and the other one the Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) bands. Figure 1. MSI internal configuration. On the left, full instrument view and optical path construction to the SWIR/VNIR (see §2.2) splitter and focal planes.

... chnique. Our IASI Tskin product (i.e., TANN) is evaluated against Tskin from EUMETSAT Level 2 product, ECMWF Reanalysis (ERA5), SEVIRI observations, and ground in situ measurements. Good correlations between IASI TANN and the Tskin from other datasets are shown by their statistic data, such as a mean bias and standard deviation (i.e., [bias, STDE]) of [0.55, 1.86 °C], [0.19, 2.10 °C], [−1.5, 3.56 °C], from EUMETSAT IASI L-2 product, ERA5, and SEVIRI. When compared to ground station data, we found that all datasets did not achieve the needed accuracy at several months of the year, and better results were achieved at nighttime. Therefore, comparison with ground-based measurements should be done with care to achieve the ±2 °C accuracy needed, by choosing, for example, a validation site near the station location. On average, this accuracy is achieved, in particular at night, leading to the ability to construct a robust Tskin dataset suitable for Tskin long-term spatio-temporal variability and trend analysis.
A Co-design Approach for a Rehabilitation Robot Coach for Physical Rehabilitation Based on the Error Classification of Motion Errors
2018
2018 Second IEEE International Conference on Robotic Computing (IRC)
The rising number of the elderly incurs growing concern about healthcare, and in particular rehabilitation healthcare. Assistive technology and assistive robotics in particular may help to improve this process. We develop a robot coach capable of demonstrating rehabilitation exercises to patients, watch a patient carry out the exercises and give him feedback so as to improve his performance and encourage him. The HRI of the system is based on our study with a team of rehabilitation therapists

... d with the target population.The system relies on human motion analysis. We develop a method for learning a probabilistic representation of ideal movements from expert demonstrations. A Gaussian Mixture Model is employed from position and orientation features captured using a Microsoft Kinect v2. For assessing patients' movements, we propose a real-time multi-level analysis to both temporally and spatially identify and explain body part errors. This analysis combined with a classification algorithm allows the robot to provide coaching advice to make the patient improve his movements. The evaluation on three rehabilitation exercises shows the potential of the proposed approach for learning and assessing kinaesthetic movements.
