We investigate a new, convex relaxation of an expectation-maximization (EM) variant that approximates a standard objective while eliminating local minima. First, a cautionary resu...
Bayesian model averaging, model selection and their approximations such as BIC are generally statistically consistent, but sometimes achieve slower rates of convergence than other...
We utilize the ensemble of trees framework, a tractable mixture over superexponential number of tree-structured distributions [1], to develop a new model for multivariate density ...
This paper describes the process of creating a large digital archive of killer whale or orca vocalizations. The goal of the project is to digitize approximately 20000 hours of exi...

This article deals with the estimation of sinusoidal parameters for non stationary sinusoids. It will be shown that for linear amplitude and frequency modulation only the frequenc...
