This paper addresses the following general scenario: A scientist wishes to perform a battery of experiments, each generating a sequential stream of data, to investigate some phenomenon. The scientist would like to control the overall error rate in order to draw statistically-valid conclusions from each experiment, while being as efficient as possible. The between-stream data may differ in distr...

In this paper we establish the existence of path-wise solutions and the uniqueness in law for multidimensional stochastic differential equations driven by a multi-dimensional fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter H > 12 .

The task of localizing single and multiple concurrent speakers in a reverberant environment with background noise poses several problems. One of the major problems is the severe corruption of the frame-wise localization estimates. To improve the overall localization accuracy, we propose a particle filter based tracking algorithm using the recently proposed Multiband Joint PositionPitch (M-PoPi)...

We present the computation of effective refractive coefficients for inhomogeneous two-component grains with 3 kinds of inclusions with m incl = 3.0 + 4.0i, 2.0 + 1.0i, 2.5 + 0.0001i and a matrix with m m = 1.33 + 0.01i for 11 volume fractions of inclusions from 0% to 50%. The coefficients of extinction for these grains have been computed using a discrete dipole approximation (DDA). Computation ...

Siegmund and Yakir (2000) have given an approximate p-value when two independent, identically distributed sequences from a finite alphabet are optimally aligned based on a scoring system that rewards similarities according to a general scoring matrix and penalizes gaps (insertions and deletions). The approximation involves an infinite sequence of difficult-to-compute parameters. In this paper, ...

This work presents an approach for color-texture classification of industrial products. An extension of Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) to color images is proposed. Statistical features are computed from an isotropic Color Co-occurrence Matrix for classification. The following color spaces are used: RGB, HSL and La*b*. New combination schemes for texture analysis are introduced. A compar...

Computing Occupancy grids with LiDAR data, is a popular strategy for environment representation. In the last two decades, several authors have proposed different methods to render sensed information into grids, seeking obtain computational efficiency or accurate modeling. However, no comparison regarding their performance under object detection in autonomous driving applications has been found ...

We construct a bosonic quantum field on a general quantum graph. Consistency of the construction leads to the calculation of the total scattering matrix of the graph. This matrix is equivalent to the one already proposed using generalized star product approach. We give several examples and show how they generalize some of the scattering matrices computed in the mathematical or condensed matter ...

In probabilistic PCA, the fully Bayesian estimation is computationally intractable. To cope with this problem, two types of approximation schemes were introduced: the partially Bayesian PCA (PB-PCA) where only the latent variables are integrated out, and the variational Bayesian PCA (VB-PCA) where the loading vectors are also integrated out. The VB-PCA was proposed as an improved variant of PB-...
