Multi-layer ratio Semi-Definite Classifiers
We develop a novel extension to the Ratio Semi-definite Classifier, a discriminative model formulated as a ratio of semi-definite polynomials. By adding a hidden layer to the m...

A complex cross-spectral distribution model using Normal Variance Mean Mixtures
We propose a model for the density of cross-spectral coefficients using Normal Variance Mean Mixtures. We show that this model density generalizes the corresponding marginal dens...

Combining frontend-based memory with MFCC features for Bandwidth Extension of narrowband speech
In this paper, we continue our previous work on improving Bandwidth Extension (BWE) of narrowband speech. We have shown that including memory into the parametrization frontend (th...

Estimating correspondence between multiple cameras using joint invariants
The joint invariants of the projective group PSL(3, R) on RP2 , the five-point volume cross-ratios, are studied to address the problem of correspondence in a camera network. The ...
