We propose a Bayesian methodology for one-mode projecting a bipartite network that is being observed across a series of discrete time steps. The resulting one mode network captures the uncertainty over the presence/absence of each link and provides a probability distribution over its possible weight values. Additionally, the incorporation of prior knowledge over previous states makes the result...

To improve the comfort of domestic environment, acoustic performances home appliances need to be optimised. During product development stages, manufacturers typically carry out measurements validate design strategies and perform troubleshooting. Moreover, several experimental techniques can used depending on target analyses. In this paper, sound field radiated by an operating washing machine is...
