Color Constancy with Spatio-Spectral Statistics
—We introduce an efficient maximum likelihood approach for one part of the color constancy problem: removing from an image the color cast caused by the spectral distribution of ...

Noise-Contrastive Estimation of Unnormalized Statistical Models, with Applications to Natural Image Statistics
We consider the task of estimating, from observed data, a probabilistic model that is parameterized by a finite number of parameters. In particular, we are considering the situat...

Multi-sensor estimation and detection of phase-locked sinusoids
This paper proposes a method to compute the likelihood function for the amplitudes and phase shifts of noisily observed phase-locked and amplitude-constrained sinusoids. The sinus...

Practical limits in RSS-based positioning
Received signal strength (RSS) based source localization papers often ignore the practical effects of range limits in the measurements. In many devices, this results in some senso...

A quasi-Newton acceleration for high-dimensional optimization algorithms
Abstract In many statistical problems, maximum likelihood estimation by an EM or MM algorithm suffers from excruciatingly slow convergence. This tendency limits the application of ...

GSA-based maximum likelihood estimation for threshold vector error correction model
The log-likelihood function of threshold vector error correction models is neither differentiable, nor smooth with respect to some parameters. Therefore, it is very difficult to ...
