Abstract--In this paper, we propose a decentralized sensor network scheme capable to reach a globally optimum maximum-likelihood (ML) estimate through self-synchronization of nonli...
A two microphone direction of arrival (DOA) estimation technique for multiple speech sources is developed which exploits speech specific properties, namely sparsity in time-frequ...
Recent statistical performance surveys of search algorithms in difficult combinatorial problems have demonstrated the benefits of randomising and restarting the search procedure. ...
