Prior distributions are useful for robust low-level vision, and undirected models (e.g. Markov Random Fields) have become a central tool for this purpose. Though sometimes these p...
—Motivated by questions in lossy data compression and by theoretical considerations, the problem of estimating the rate-distortion function of an unknown (not necessarily discret...
A Skilligent robot must be able to learn skills autonomously to accomplish a task. "Skilligence" is the capacity of the robot to control behaviors reasonably, based on th...
Abstract— Single-Symbol Maximum Likelihood (ML) decodable Distributed Orthogonal Space-Time Block Codes (DOSTBCs) have been introduced recently for cooperative networks and an up...
Jensen's inequality is a powerful mathematical tool and one of the workhorses in statistical learning. Its applications therein include the EM algorithm, Bayesian estimation ...
