Despite this, challenges associated with the temporal evolution of the myoelectric signal may require flexibility beyond the capabilities of standard LDA. Recently proposed approaches have leveraged more complex systems, such as adaptive window framing or temporal convolutional neural networks to incorporate temporal structure. In this work, we explore the potential of exploiting parameters inherent to the LDA, which is conventionally applied assuming static and equal prior probabilities and uniform cost functions, to improve myoelectric control. First, a cost-modified version of the LDA (cLDA) is introduced to better reflect the comparatively high cost of active errors. Second, an adaptive priors version of the LDA (pLDA) is introduced to reflect the changing prior probabilities of classes in the myoelectric signal time series. Results are compared against the standard LDA classifier using a novel dataset comprised of continuous class transitions. Although no significant differences were observed in total error, the proposed cLDA algorithm yielded significantly lower active error rates than the LDA alone. Furthermore, both the cLDA and pLDA classification schemes produced significantly lower instability than the LDA classifier alone, as measured by spurious changes in the output decision stream. This work lays the groundwork for future research on these flexible classification schemes including context dependent cost arrays, different methods of priors adaptation, and combinations of the proposed cLDA and pLDA frameworks.","PeriodicalId":221378,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115226835","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 first adaptive filter is the same as found in the traditional AFB-ANC systems and is adapted using the classical Filtered-x Least Mean Square (FxLMS) algorithm. The stability of the FxLMS algorithm requires filtering the reference signal via a ‘good’ estimate of the cancellation path (CP) present between the cancellation loudspeaker and the error microphone. Since the CP may be time-varying in the practical situations, the task of the second adaptive filter is to provide estimation of the CP during operation of the AFB-ANC system. The Cancellation-Path Estimation (CPE) filter is excited by a probe signal and is adapted using a delay-based Normalized Least Mean Square (NLMS) algorithm. The proposed system is equipped with a simple strategy to monitor the convergence status of the CPE filter. The developed strategy allows to inject a large (small) probe signal during the transient (steady) state of the AFB-ANC system. Computer simulation are carried out which demonstrate the effective performance of the developed system.","PeriodicalId":221378,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"182 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121276993","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}

However, the required stochastic number generators (SNGs) in these circuits are area consuming and can diminish their overall saving in hardware size, particularly if several SNGs are required. A SNG circuit consists of two parts: a random number source (RNS), e.g., a linear feedback shift register (LFSR), and a probability converter circuit (PCC), e.g., a comparator. In this paper, we propose area-efficient SNGs by sharing the permuted output of one RNS among several SNGs. With no hardware overhead, the proposed architecture generates random bit streams with minimum stochastic computing correlation (SCC). Compared to the circular shifting approach presented in recent prior work, our approach produces stochastic bit streams with 52% and 67% less average SCC when a 8-bit and a 10-bit LFSR are shared between two SNGs, respectively. We evaluated the proposed method for several applications. The results show that, compared to prior work, our approach yields lower MSE values with the same (or even lower) area-cost.","PeriodicalId":221378,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"162 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114517324","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}

Characterization, estimation, and extraction of PHT is a crucial requirement for assistive and robotic rehabilitation technologies that aim to counteract or resist PHT as an input noise to the system. In general, research in the literature on the topic of PHT removal can be categorized into two major categories, namely, classic and data-driven methods. Classic techniques use hand-crafted features and statistical processing pipelines to model and then extract the tremor while data-driven approaches are trained based on a sizable dataset to allow a computational model (such as neural networks) learn how to estimate the PHT. Since the availability of large datasets, especially in PHT estimation field is a bottleneck, in this feasibility study, we investigate the possibility of combining different recording modalities of PHT to generate a neural network for this purpose. This work explores the potential of jointly using accelerometer data and gyroscope recordings to produce a larger dataset for training a relatively complex network, which can potentially be extended for a deeper generalization.","PeriodicalId":221378,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128740917","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 further propose three approaches to ameliorate the side effects of cognitive biases and help humans make higher quality decisions.

Towards overcoming this problem, by introducing a tensor-based hypothesis testing framework, this paper proposes an efficient tensor-based detector (TBD) for a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) CR networks over multi-path fading channels.
