Auxiliary Variational Information Maximization for Dimensionality Reduction
Abstract. Mutual Information (MI) is a long studied measure of information content, and many attempts to apply it to feature extraction and stochastic coding have been made. Howeve...

Adaptive methods for sequential importance sampling with application to state space models
Abstract. In this paper we discuss new adaptive proposal strategies for sequential Monte Carlo algorithms--also known as particle filters--relying on new criteria evaluating the qu...

Planar Cycle Covering Graphs
We describe a new variational lower-bound on the minimum energy configuration of a planar binary Markov Random Field (MRF). Our method is based on adding auxiliary nodes to every...

I-Divergence-based dereverberation method with auxiliary function approach
This paper presents a dereverberation method based on I-divergence minimization, which is particularly suitable for music signals. Existing dereverberation methods, including one ...
