Optimization of the antenna array geometry based on a Bayesian DOA estimation criterion
In this paper, we address the problem of the sensor placement for estimating the direction of a narrow-band source, randomly located in the far-field of a planar antenna array. E...

Logarithmic weak regret of non-Bayesian restless multi-armed bandit
Abstract—We consider the restless multi-armed bandit (RMAB) problem with unknown dynamics. At each time, a player chooses K out of N (N > K) arms to play. The state of each ar...

Emergence of rationality amongst simple nodes performing adaptive filtering
We present a decentralized adaptive filtering algorithm where each agent acts selfishly to maximize its payoff. Agents are only aware of the actions of other agents within their...

A novel probe processing method for underwater communication by passive-phase conjugation
Underwater acoustic communication by passive-phase conjugation uses a channel probe signal transmitted prior to the data signal in order to estimate the channel response. At the r...

Nonnegative 3-way tensor factorization via conjugate gradient with globally optimal stepsize
This paper deals with the minimal polyadic decomposition (also known as canonical decomposition or Parafac) of a 3way array, assuming each entry is positive. In this case, the low...

MPtracker: A new multi-pitch detection and separation algorithm for mixed speech signals
We present MPtracker, a new algorithm for tracking and separating the pitch frequencies of two speakers from their mixture. The pitch frequencies are detected by introducing a nov...

Exploiting active-learning strategies for annotating prosodic events with limited labeled data
Many applications of spoken-language systems can benefit from having access to annotations of prosodic events. Unfortunately, obtaining human annotations of these events, even se...

Robust speech representation of voiced sounds based on synchrony determination with PLLs
We propose to include synchrony effects, known to exist in the auditory system, to represent voiced parts of the speech signal in a robust way. The system decomposes the input sig...

Impact of the correlation between forward and backscatter channels on RFID system performance
The channel of radio frequency identi cation (RFID) can be modeled as a cascaded channel consisting of a forward link and a backscatter link. The correlation between the forward a...
