Two algorithms based upon a tree-cotree decomposition, called in this paper spanning tree technique (STT) and generalized spanning tree technique (GSTT), have been shown to be usef...
Abstract--Hands-free terminals for speech communication employ adaptive filters to reduce echoes resulting from the acoustic coupling between loudspeaker and microphone. When using...
This paper considers the design of efficient quantizers for a robust distributed source coding system. The information is encoded at independent terminals and transmitted across se...
We present new training methods that aim to mitigate local optima and slow convergence in unsupervised training by using additional imperfect objectives. In its simplest form, lat...
