Accurately evaluating statistical independence among random variables is a key element of Independent Component Analysis (ICA). In this paper, we employ a squared-loss variant of ...
Nonparametric methods are widely applicable to statistical learning problems, since they rely on a few modeling assumptions. In this context, the fresh look advocated here permeat...
Wyner-Ziv video coding is a coding method that exploits source statistics at the decoder. Many Wyner-Ziv video coding schemes encode a video sequence into two types of frames, key...
