We study closed smooth convex plane curves ΓΓ enjoying the following property: a pair of points x,yx,y can traverse ΓΓ so that the distances between xx and yy along the curve and in the ambient plane do not change; such curves are called {\it bicycle curves}. Motivation for this study comes from the problem how to d…

We study the dynamics of the discrete bicycle (Darboux, Backlund) transformation of polygons in n-dimensional Euclidean space. This transformation is a discretization of the continuous bicycle transformation, recently studied by Foote, Levi, and Tabachnikov. We prove that the respective monodromy is a Moebius transform…

result Identified design parameters and factors influencing bicycle classification.

New model for visual cortex border completion using bicycle wheel motions.

problem Understanding border completion in the visual cortex V1.
method Sub-Riemannian Hamiltonian formalism and bicycle wheel analogy.
result Analogies between visual cortex border completion and bicycle wheel motions.

We study a simple model of bicycle motion: a segment of fixed length in multi-dimensional Euclidean space, moving so that the velocity of the rear end is always aligned with the segment. If the front track is prescribed, the trajectory of the rear wheel is uniquely determined via a certain first order differential equa…

result Closed-form discrete parametrisations of all Darboux transforms and bicycle correspondences.

The space C of conservative vertex colorings (over a field F) of a countable, locally finite graph G is introduced. The subspace of based colorings is shown to be isomorphic to the bicycle space of the graph. For graphs G with a free Z^d-action by automorphisms, C is a finitely generated module over the polynomial ring…

method Model-agnostic counterfactual search method for multi-modal design modifications.
result MCD streamlines and automates counterfactual search, recommending effective design modifications.

We generalize the notion of planar bicycle tracks -- a.k.a. one-trailer systems -- to so-called tractor/tractrix systems in general Riemannian manifolds and prove explicit expressions for the length of the ensuing tractrices and for the area of the domains that are swept out by any given tractor/tractrix system. These …

We introduce a two-player contest for evaluating the safety and robustness of machine learning systems, with a large prize pool. Unlike most prior work in ML robustness, which studies norm-constrained adversaries, we shift our focus to unconstrained adversaries. Defenders submit machine learning models, and try to achi…

This master thesis focuses on practical application of Convolutional Neural Network models on the task of road labeling with bike attractivity score. We start with an abstraction of real world locations into nodes and scored edges in partially annotated dataset. We enhance information available about each edge with pho…

Professional sports are developing towards increasingly scientific training methods with increasing amounts of data being collected from laboratory tests, training sessions and competitions. In cycling, it is standard to equip bicycles with small computers recording data from sensors such as power-meters, in addition t…

Understanding how users navigate in a network is of high interest in many applications. We consider a setting where only aggregate node-level traffic is observed and tackle the task of learning edge transition probabilities. We cast it as a preference learning problem, and we study a model where choices follow Luce's a…

result Provides a detailed description of self-Bäcklund centroaffine curves in terms of elliptic functions.

This note examines financial distributions to competing teams at the end of the most famous multiple stage professional (male) bicyclist race, TOUR DE FRANCE. A rank-size law (RSL) is calculated for the team financial gains. The RSL is found to be hyperbolic with a surprisingly simple decay exponent (about equal to -1)…
