Estimation is a critical component of synchronization in wireless and signalprocessing systems. There is a rich body of work on estimator derivation, optimization, and statistical characterization from analytic system models which are used pervasively today. We explore an alternative approach to building estimators which relies principally on approximate regression using large datasets and large computationally efficient artificial neural network models capable of learning non-linear function mappings which provide compact and accurate estimates. For single carrier PSK modulation, we explore the accuracy and computational complexity of such estimators compared with the current gold-standard analytically derived alternatives. We compare performance in various wireless operating conditions and consider the trade offs between the two different classes of systems. Our results show the learned estimators can provide improvements in areas such as short-time estimation and estimation under non-trivial real world channel conditions such as fading or other non-linear hardware or propagation effects.

In this paper we describe a semi-supervised algorithm to segment bird vocalizations using matrix factorization and Renyi entropy based mutual information. Singular value decomposition (SVD) is applied on pooled time-frequency representations of bird vocalizations to learn basis vectors. By utilizing only a few of the bases, a compact feature representation is obtained for input test data. Renyi entropy based mutual information is calculated between feature representations of consecutive frames. After some simple post-processing, a threshold is used to reliably distinguish bird vocalizations from other sounds. The algorithm is evaluated on the field recordings of different bird species and different SNR conditions. The results highlight the effectiveness of the proposed method in all SNR conditions, improvements over other methods, and its generality.

Cross-resolution face recognition tackles the problem of matching face images with different resolutions. Although state-of-the-art convolutional neural network (CNN) based methods have reported promising performances on standard face recognition problems, such models cannot sufficiently describe images with resolution different from those seen during training, and thus cannot solve the above task accordingly. In this paper, we propose Guided Convolutional Neural Network (Guided-CNN), which is a novel CNN architecture with parallel sub-CNN models as guide and learners. Unique loss functions are introduced, which would serve as joint supervision for images within and across resolutions. Our experiments not only verify the use of our model for cross-resolution recognition, but also its applicability of recognizing face images with different degrees of occlusion.

We consider a likelihood framework for analyzing multivariate time series as mixtures of independent linear processes. We propose a flexible, Newton algorithm for estimating impulse response functions associated with independent linear processes and an EM-based finite mixture model to handle intermittent regimes. Simulations and application to EEG are also provided.

A promising direction in deep learning research is to learn representations and simultaneously discover cluster structure in unlabeled data by optimizing a discriminative loss function. Contrary to supervised deep learning, this line of research is in its infancy and the design and optimization of a suitable loss function with the aim of training deep neural networks for clustering is still an open challenge. In this paper, we propose to leverage the discriminative power of information theoretic divergence measures, which have experienced success in traditional clustering, to develop a new deep clustering network. Our proposed loss function incorporates explicitly the geometry of the output space, and facilitates fully unsupervised training end-to-end. Experiments on real datasets show that the proposed algorithm achieves competitive performance with respect to other state-of-the-art methods.
Manual labeling of individual instances is time-consuming. This is commonly resolved by labeling a bag-of-instances with a single common label or label-set. However, this approach is still time-costly for large datase...

Importance weighting is widely applicable in machinelearning in general and in techniques dealing with data co-variate shift problems in particular. A novel, direct approach to determine such importance weighting is presented. It relies on a nearest neighbor classification scheme and is relatively straightforward to implement. Comparative experiments on various classification tasks demonstrate the effectiveness of our so-called nearest neighbor weighting (NNeW) scheme. Considering its performance, our procedure can act as a simple and effective baseline method for importance weighting.

In this paper, we regarded an absorbing inhomogeneous medium as an assembly of thin layers having different propagation properties. We derived a stochastic model for the refractive index and formulated the localisation problem given noisy distance measurements using graph realisation problem. We relaxed the problem using semi-definite programming (SDP) approach in l(p) realisation domain and derived upper bounds that follow Edmundson-Madansky bound of order 6p (EM6p) on the SDP objective function to provide an estimation of the techniques' localisation accuracy. Our results showed that the inhomogeneity of the media and the choice of l(p) norm have significant impact on the ratio of the expected value of the localisation error to the upper bound for the expected optimal SDP objective value. The tightest ratio was derived when l(infinity) norm was used.

We focus on a wireless sensor network powered with an energy beacon, where sensors send their measurements to the sink using the harvested energy. The aim of the system is to estimate an unknown signal over the area of interest as accurately as possible. We investigate optimal energy beamforming at the energy beacon and optimal transmit power allocation at the sensors under non-linear energy harvesting models. We use a deep reinforcement learning (RL) based approach where multi-layer neural networks are utilized. We illustrate how RL can approach the optimum performance without explicitly forming a system model, but suffers from slow convergence. We also quantify the importance of the number of antennas at the energy beamformer and the number of sensors.

Nonnegative matrix factorisation (NMF) with beta-divergence is a popular method to decompose real world data. In this paper we propose mini-batch stochastic algorithms to perform NMF efficiently on large data matrices. Besides the stochastic aspect, the mini-batch approach allows exploiting intensive computing devices such as general purpose graphical processing units to decrease the processing time and in some cases outperform coordinate descent approach.
