Langevin and hessian with fisher approximation stochastic sampling for parameter estimation of structured covariance
We have studied two efficient sampling methods, Langevin and Hessian adapted Metropolis Hastings (MH), applied to a parameter estimation problem of the mathematical model (Lorent...

Whole-book recognition using mutual-entropy-driven model adaptation
We describe an approach to unsupervised high-accuracy recognition of the textual contents of an entire book using fully automatic mutual-entropy-based model adaptation. Given imag...

Testing monotone high-dimensional distributions
A monotone distribution P over a (partially) ordered domain assigns higher probability to y than to x if y x in the order. We study several natural problems concerning testing pr...

Wireless Medium Access via Adaptive Backoff: Delay and Loss Minimization
— We consider packet transmission scheduling at the MAC-layer via adaptive backoff algorithms that are favorable in terms of queue occupancies in a wireless network. General netw...

Algorithms for Dynamic Spectrum Access with Learning for Cognitive Radio
We study the problem of dynamic spectrum sensing and access in cognitive radio systems as a partially observed Markov decision process (POMDP). A group of cognitive users cooperati...
