In this paper, a group sparse regularized least-mean-square (LMS) algorithm is proposed to cope with the identification problems for multiple/multi-channel systems. In particular, the coefficients of impulse response function for each system are assumed to be sparse. Then, the dependencies between multiple systems are considered, where the coefficients of impulse responses of each system share the same pattern. An iterative online algorithm is proposed via proximal splitting method. At the end, simulations are carried out to verify the superiority of our proposed algorithm to the state-of-the-art algorithms.","PeriodicalId":401040,"journal":{"name":"2015 23rd European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123798718","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 objective of instrumental variables is to modify the normal equations of a biased least-squares estimator to make it asymptotically unbiased. The instrumental variable (IV) matrix, used in the modified normal equations, is required to be strongly correlated with the data matrix and uncorrelated with the noise in the measurement vector. At small SNR, the correlation between the IV matrix and the data matrix can become weak. The concept of selective angle measurements (SAM) overcomes this problem by allowing some rows of the IV matrix and data matrix to be identical. This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of SAM for a previously proposed 3D angle-only IV TMA algorithm. The performance improvement of SAM is verified by simulation examples.","PeriodicalId":401040,"journal":{"name":"2015 23rd European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116361364","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 results of the method are compared with reference values from measurements, and the results match well with the mean absolute error of 0.11 LU. A subjective listening test is conducted for studying the amount of amplification applied by the test participants on a probe signal simulating the result of an interactive rendering when comparing it with a reference signal of the default mix.

An efficient subspace based estimation algorithm to estimate the carrier frequencies and their DOAs is also presented. With this proposed approach we show that a minimum ADC sampling frequency of B Hz is sufficient and O(M/4]2) carrier frequencies and their DOAs can be estimated despite all the carrier frequencies exactly aliased to the same frequency.

While some recent models combine faces with low-level features, none of them consider sound as an input. Yet it is crucial in conversation or meeting scenes. In this paper, we describe and refine an audiovisual saliency model for conversation scenes. This model includes a speaker diarization algorithm which automatically modulates the saliency of conversation partners' faces and bodies according to their speaking-or-not status. To merge our different features into a master saliency map, we use an efficient statistical method (Lasso) allowing a straightforward interpretation of feature relevance. To train and evaluate our model, we run an eye tracking experiment on a publicly available meeting videobase. We show that increasing the saliency of speakers' faces (but not bodies) greatly improves the predictions of our model, compared to previous ones giving an equal and constant weight to each conversation partner.","PeriodicalId":401040,"journal":{"name":"2015 23rd European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127628635","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}

Finally, the total energy of each subband was used to extract features for offline patient-specific sleep stage classification of single channel EEG records. In classification of over 670 hours sleep Electroencephalography of 39 subjects, the overall accuracy of 92.50% on the test set is achieved using random forests (RF) classifier trained on 25% of each sleep record.
