How Many Parallel TCP Sessions to Open: A Pricing Perspective

TCP is one of the main transmission protocols used in the Internet. It has also been recently observed that opening parallel TCP sessions might be of interest for a user in order to increase his overall average throughput. We suggest in this paper to charge users per TCP session, and we investigate the resulting game in a homogeneous context: how many sessions should each user open? Given the d...

MANY: Open Source MT System Combination at WMT'10

LIUM participated in the System Combination task of the Fifth Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation (WMT 2010). Hypotheses from 5 French/English MT systems were combined with MANY, an open source system combination software based on confusion networks currently developed at LIUM. The system combination yielded significant improvements in BLEU score when applied on WMT'09 data. The same be...

Adiabatic dynamics in open quantum critical many-body systems.

The purpose of this work is to understand the effect of an external environment on the adiabatic dynamics of a quantum critical system. By means of scaling arguments we derive a general expression for the density of excitations produced in the quench as a function of its velocity and of the temperature of the bath. We corroborate the scaling analysis by explicitly solving the case of a one-dime...

An open source framework for many-objective robust decision making

This study introduces a new open source software framework to support bottom-up environmental systems planning under deep uncertainty with a focus on many-objective robust decision making (MORDM), called OpenMORDM. OpenMORDM contains two complementary components: (1) a software application programming interface (API) for connecting planning models to computational exploration tools for many-obj...
