However, it can't meet the requirement of high-performance denoising under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions. In this paper, we define the generalized metaplectic convolution-based Cohen's class time-frequency distribution (GMC-CCTFD) by replacing the traditional convolution operator in CCTFD with the generalized convolution operator of metaplectic transform (MT). This new definition leverages the high degrees of freedom and flexibility of MT, improving performance in non-stationary signal analysis. We then establish a fundamental theory about the GMC-CCTFD's essential properties. By integrating the Wiener filter principle with the time-frequency filtering mechanism of GMC-CCTFD, we design a least-squares adaptive filter in the Wigner distribution-MT domain. This allows us to achieve adaptive filtering denoising based on GMC-CCTFD, giving birth to the least-squares adaptive filter-based GMC-CCTFD. Furthermore, we conduct several examples and apply the proposed filtering method to real-world datasets, demonstrating its superior performance in noise suppression compared to some state-of-the-art methods.","PeriodicalId":73300,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of signal processing","volume":"6 ","pages":"348-368"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10902015","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143628714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, unsupervised image segmentation is still a challenging task in some cases such as when objects with a similar visual appearance overlap. Unlike 2D images, 4D Light Fields (LFs) convey both spatial and angular scene information facilitating depth/disparity estimation, which can be further used to guide the segmentation. Existing 4D LF segmentation methods that target object level (i.e., mid-level and high-level) segmentation are typically semi-supervised or supervised with ground truth labels and mostly support only densely sampled 4D LFs. This paper proposes a novel unsupervised mid-level 4D LF Segmentation method using Graph Neural Networks (LFSGNN), which segments all LF views consistently. To achieve that, the 4D LF is represented as a hypergraph, whose hypernodes are obtained based on hyperpixel over-segmentation. Then, a graph neural network is used to extract deep features from the LF and assign segmentation labels to all hypernodes. Afterwards, the network parameters are updated iteratively to achieve better object separation using backpropagation. The proposed segmentation method supports both densely and sparsely sampled 4D LFs. Experimental results on synthetic and real 4D LF datasets show that the proposed method outperforms benchmark methods both in terms of segmentation spatial accuracy and angular consistency.","PeriodicalId":73300,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of signal processing","volume":"6 ","pages":"333-347"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10902629","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143629648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such delays degrade the performance of the learning agent in identifying a subset of arms with the optimal collective reward in the long run. This problem becomes significantly challenging in a non-stationary environment with structural dependencies amongst the reward distributions associated with the arms. Therefore, besides adapting to delays and environmental changes, learning the causal relations alleviates the adverse effects of feedback delay on the decision-making process. We formalize the described setting as a non-stationary and delayed combinatorial semi-bandit problem with causally related rewards. We model the causal relations by a directed graph in a stationary structural equation model. The agent maximizes the long-term average payoff, defined as a linear function of the base arms' rewards. We develop a policy that learns the structural dependencies from delayed feedback and utilizes that to optimize the decision-making while adapting to drifts. We prove a regret bound for the performance of the proposed algorithm. Besides, we evaluate our method via numerical analysis using synthetic and real-world datasets to detect the regions that contribute the most to the spread of Covid-19 in Italy.","PeriodicalId":73300,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of signal processing","volume":"6 ","pages":"369-384"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10902019","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143627851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, we analyzed the guided filter framework, reinterpreting it from a patch-based perspective using singular value decomposition (SVD). This revealed that the original guided filter suppresses oscillatory components based on their eigenvalues. Building on this insight, we proposed a new filtering method that selectively suppresses or enhances these components through functions that respond to their eigenvalues. The proposed SVD-based Guided Filter offers improved control over edge preservation and noise reduction compared to the original guided filter and its improved methods, which often struggle to balance these tasks. We validated the proposed method across various image processing applications, including denoising, edge-preserving smoothing, detail enhancement, and edge-enhancing smoothing. The results demonstrated that the SVD-based Guided Filter consistently outperforms the original guided filter and its improved methods by making more effective use of color guide images. While the computational cost is slightly higher than the original guided filter, the method remains efficient and highly effective. Overall, the proposed SVD-based Guided Filter delivers notable improvements, offering a solid foundation for further advancements in guided filtering techniques.","PeriodicalId":73300,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of signal processing","volume":"6 ","pages":"385-397"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10902178","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143629646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal is to learn a model that performs well on the target domain although labels are available only for the source data. Many recent works attempt to align the source and the target domains by matching their marginal distributions in a learned feature space. In this paper, we address the domain difference as a nuisance, and enables better adaptability of the domains, by encouraging minimality of the target domain representation, disentanglement of the features, and a smoother feature space that cluster better the target data. To this end, we use the information bottleneck theory and a classical technique from the blind source separation framework, namely, ICA (independent components analysis). We show that these concepts can improve performance of leading domain adaptation methods on various domain adaptation benchmarks.","PeriodicalId":73300,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of signal processing","volume":"6 ","pages":"303-311"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10858365","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143489277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, unlike standard neural networks, sparse mixture-of-experts models inherently exhibit discontinuities in the output space, which may impede the acquisition of appropriate invariance to the input perturbations, leading to a deterioration of model performance for tasks such as classification. To address this issue, we propose Pairwise Router Consistency (PRC) that effectively penalizes the discontinuities occurring under natural deformations of input images. With the supervised loss, the use of PRC loss empirically improves classification accuracy on ImageNet-1 K, CIFAR-10, and CIFAR-100 datasets, compared to a baseline method. Notably, our method with 1-expert selection slightly outperforms the baseline method using 2-expert selection. We also confirmed that models trained with our method experience discontinuous changes less frequently under input perturbations.","PeriodicalId":73300,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of signal processing","volume":"6 ","pages":"276-283"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10858379","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143465817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We then steer the attention heads in the probe direction, ensuring the generative model output captures the desired musical trait. Additionally, we monitor the probe output to avoid adding an excessive amount of intervention into the autoregressive generation, which could lead to temporally incoherent music.

Online algorithms for dynamic graph learning are crucial in delay-sensitive applications or when changes in topology occur rapidly. While existing works focus on inferring the connectivity within a fixed set of nodes, in practice, the graph can grow as new nodes join the network. This poses additional challenges like modeling temporal dynamics involving signals and graphs of different sizes. This growth also increases the computational complexity of the learning process, which may become prohibitive. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to tackle this setting. We propose a general online algorithm based on projected proximal gradient descent that accounts for the increasing graph size at each iteration. Recursively updating the sample covariance matrix is a key aspect of our approach. We introduce a strategy that enables different types of updates for nodes that just joined the network and for previously existing nodes. To provide further insights into the proposed method, we specialize it in Gaussian Markov random field settings, where we analyze the computational complexity and characterize the dynamic cumulative regret. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach using both controlled experiments and real-world datasets from epidemic and financial networks.","PeriodicalId":73300,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of signal processing","volume":"6 ","pages":"247-255"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10854617","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143471129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, they can be challenging to segment for moving objects as - among other things - finding correspondences between sparse point clouds of consecutive frames is difficult. Traditional methods rely on a (global or local) map of the environment, which can be demanding to acquire and maintain in real-world conditions and the presence of the moving objects themselves. This paper proposes a novel approach using as minimal sweeps as possible to decrease the computational burden and achieve mapless moving object segmentation (MOS) in LiDAR point clouds. Our approach is based on a multimodal learning model with single-modal inference. The model is trained on a dataset of LiDAR point clouds and related camera images. The model learns to associate features from the two modalities, allowing it to predict dynamic objects even in the absence of a map and the camera modality. We propose semantic information usage for multi-frame instance segmentation in order to enhance performance measures. We evaluate our approach to the SemanticKITTI and Apollo real-world autonomous driving datasets. Our results show that our approach can achieve state-of-the-art performance on moving object segmentation and utilize only a few (even one) LiDAR frames.","PeriodicalId":73300,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of signal processing","volume":"6 ","pages":"118-128"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10848132","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143379492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
