In this work, multi-target tracking and data fusion techniques are applied to live-recorded data from a network of oceanographic HFSW radars installed in the German Bight (North Sea). This experimentation closely follows the one conducted in the Ligurian Sea (Mediterranean Sea) by NATO Science and Technology Organization (STO) Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE) during the Battlespace Preparation 2009 (BP09) campaign. Ship reports from the Automatic Identification System (AIS), recorded from both coastal and satellite-based stations, are exploited as ground truth information and a methodology is applied to classify the fused tracks and to estimate system performances. Preliminary results are presented and discussed, together with an outline for future works.","PeriodicalId":6545,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP)","volume":"369 1","pages":"6077-6081"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77643651","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}

In this paper, we provide a 128-channel spike detection processor for spike sorting microsystem without compromise of the power efficiency.

Basically, MAP adaptation needs a data storage for speaker adaptive (SA) model as much as speaker independent (SI) model needs. Modern speech recognition systems have a huge number of parameters and deal with millions of users. To reduce the data storage for SA models, in this paper, we propose a constrained maximum likelihood estimation-based speaker adaptation with L1 regularization. By the proposed method, we can more efficiently perform the model adjustments for SA models without almost any loss of phone recognition performance than the conventional sparse MAP adaptation method.","PeriodicalId":6545,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP)","volume":"8 1","pages":"6369-6373"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81996837","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}

This problem has been addressed for the case in which the unknown signal can be modeled as a Gaussian random vector. However, that assumption is not applicable to some signal types, such as the constant modulus signals found in radar and communications. For these problems, the signal can be modeled as a deterministic unknown, which is the approach taken here. We derive a generalized likelihood ratio test for this problem under a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) assumption. The resulting detector is invariant to relative scalings of the data, and therefore possesses the constant false alarm rate (CFAR) property with respect to the unknown noise powers. Numerical examples show the proposed detector can outperform CFAR detectors derived under the Gaussian assumption.","PeriodicalId":6545,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP)","volume":"50 1","pages":"2987-2991"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73283355","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}

All the agents have initial observations, and they update their beliefs with the average of the beliefs in their neighborhoods. It is well known that in the long run, the network will reach consensus. However, the agents do not necessarily converge to the global average of the initial observations of all the agents in the network. Instead, the result is always a weighted average. Moreover, it takes infinite time for the process to converge. In this paper, we address regular networks of agents, where each agent (node) has the same number of agents. We propose a method that allows agents in these networks to learn the global average using the history of its local average in finite time.","PeriodicalId":6545,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP)","volume":"79 1","pages":"7253-7257"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88595243","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}
