We propose a novel strategy for training neural networks using sequential Monte Carlo algorithms. This global optimisation strategy allows us to learn the probability distribution...
Palette re-ordering is a well known and very effective approach for improving the compression of color-indexed images. If the spatial distribution of the indexes in the image is s...

We consider a network of sensors deployed to sense a spatio-temporal field and infer parameters of interest about the field. We are interested in the case where each sensor's...

In this paper, a neural network scheme is presented for modeling VBR MPEG-2 video sources. In particular, three non linear autoregressive models (NAR) are proposed to model the ag...

Abstract. In this paper, we presen t an algorithm that provides adaptive plasticity in function approximation problems: the deformable (feature) map (DM) algorithm. The DM approach...
