This is achieved by extending the widely linear model from the complex domain, and accounting for the specific properties of quaternion algebra. Firstly, the widely linear quaternionic Wiener solution is introduced which uses the ‘augmented’ input and weight vectors and thus makes full use of the available second order information. Next, the widely linear quaternion recursive least squares (WL-QRLS) algorithm is derived and is shown to exhibit enhanced transient and steady state properties as compared to the standard widely linear quaternion least mean square (WL-QLMS). Simulations on real world 3D wind signal support the approach.","PeriodicalId":171474,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd International Workshop on Cognitive Information Processing","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125159057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The perfect full information of the involved links is made known to the central management unit called spectrum broker. Three algorithms of spectrum sharing are proposed. In each algorithm, Cournot oligopoly competition or monopolistic behaviour of the players are considered, and adjustment to the actual available spectrum bandwidth is done to make an efficient use of all available spectrum resources. For the QoS support, spectrum demands are categorized in four traffic classes with special parameters which represent priority classes, the target bit error probability (BEP) and the volume of user demands. The proposed resource sharing algorithms may be used in opportunistic or cognitive wireless networks, and are characterized by low computational complexity.","PeriodicalId":171474,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd International Workshop on Cognitive Information Processing","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131922390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose a new algorithm for estimating the number of dominant sources observed by multiple sensors in the presence of multipath and corrupted by additive Gaussian noise. Our method is based on the exact distribution of the eigenvalues of the sample covariance matrix for multivariate Gaussian variables. Numerical results show that the new method has excellent performance, and is particularly important for situations with small sample size.","PeriodicalId":171474,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd International Workshop on Cognitive Information Processing","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134442249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These can reveal events in the real world when the data streams are generated by online news media, emails, Twitter feeds, movie subtitles, scientific publications, and more. The volume of interest in such text streams often exceeds human capacity for analysis, such that automatic pattern recognition tools are indispensable. In particular, we are interested in surprising changes in the frequency of n-grams of words, or more generally of symbols from an unlimited alphabet size. Despite the exponentially large number of possible n-grams in the size of the alphabet (which is itself unbounded), we show how these can be detected efficiently. To this end, we rely on a data structure known as a generalised suffix tree, which is additionally annotated with a limited amount of statistical information. Crucially, we show how the generalised suffix tree as well as these statistical annotations can efficiently be updated in an on-line fashion.","PeriodicalId":171474,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd International Workshop on Cognitive Information Processing","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124732212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We discuss the cases where factors are both independent and dependent. In the statistical literature, factor analysis has been used principally as a dimension reduction technique, with little interest in a priori modelling of the factors, but here the application is source separation where the factors may have a direct interpretation and the usual Gaussian model for a factor may not be appropriate. That is the case for the application that illustrates our work, which is that of identifying different sources of extra-terrestrial microwaves from all-sky images taken at different frequencies. In particular there is interest in separating out the cosmic microwave background (CMB) signal from the other sources.","PeriodicalId":171474,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd International Workshop on Cognitive Information Processing","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128850416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
