Dealing With Non-Gaussianity of SAR-derived Wet Surface Ratio for Flood Extent Representation Improvement

no code implementations14 Jun 2023 Thanh Huy Nguyen, Sophie Ricci, Andrea Piacentini, Ehouarn Simon, Raquel Rodriguez Suquet, Santiago Peña Luque

The non-Gaussianity of the observation errors associated with the SAR flood observations violates a major hypothesis regarding the EnKF and jeopardizes the optimality of the filter analysis.

Enhancing Flood Forecasting with Dual State-Parameter Estimation and Ensemble-based SAR Data Assimilation

no code implementations14 Nov 2022 Thanh Huy Nguyen, Sophie Ricci, Andrea Piacentini, Raquel Rodriguez Suquet, Gwendoline Blanchet, Santiago Pena Luque, Peter Kettig

It was also shown that the assimilation of Wet surface Ratio in the flood plain complementary to in-situ data in the river bed brings significative improvement when a corrective term on flood plain hydraulic state is included in the control vector.

On the Heavy-Tailed Theory of Stochastic Gradient Descent for Deep Neural Networks

no code implementations29 Nov 2019 Umut Şimşekli, Mert Gürbüzbalaban, Thanh Huy Nguyen, Gaël Richard, Levent Sagun

This assumption is often made for mathematical convenience, since it enables SGD to be analyzed as a stochastic differential equation (SDE) driven by a Brownian motion.

Unsupervised Automatic Building Extraction Using Active Contour Model on Unregistered Optical Imagery and Airborne LiDAR Data

no code implementations14 Jul 2019 Thanh Huy Nguyen, Sylvie Daniel, Didier Gueriot, Christophe Sintes, Jean-Marc Le Caillec

Automatic extraction of buildings in urban scenes has become a subject of growing interest in the domain of photogrammetry and remote sensing, particularly with the emergence of LiDAR systems since mid-1990s.

First Exit Time Analysis of Stochastic Gradient Descent Under Heavy-Tailed Gradient Noise

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2019 Thanh Huy Nguyen, Umut Şimşekli, Mert Gürbüzbalaban, Gaël Richard

We show that the behaviors of the two systems are indeed similar for small step-sizes and we identify how the error depends on the algorithm and problem parameters.

Robust Building-based Registration of Airborne LiDAR Data and Optical Imagery on Urban Scenes

1 code implementation7 Apr 2019 Thanh Huy Nguyen, Sylvie Daniel, Didier Gueriot, Christophe Sintes, Jean-Marc Le Caillec

The motivation of this paper is to address the problem of registering airborne LiDAR data and optical aerial or satellite imagery acquired from different platforms, at different times, with different points of view and levels of detail.

Non-Asymptotic Analysis of Fractional Langevin Monte Carlo for Non-Convex Optimization

no code implementations22 Jan 2019 Thanh Huy Nguyen, Umut Şimşekli, Gaël Richard

Recent studies on diffusion-based sampling methods have shown that Langevin Monte Carlo (LMC) algorithms can be beneficial for non-convex optimization, and rigorous theoretical guarantees have been proven for both asymptotic and finite-time regimes.
