Two approaches dominate the literature: batch-incremental methods that gather examples in batches to train models; and instance-incremental methods that learn from each example as it arrives. Typically, papers in the literature choose one of these approaches, but provide insufficient evidence or references to justify their choice. We provide a first in-depth analysis comparing both approaches, including how they adapt to concept drift, and an extensive empirical study to compare several different versions of each approach. Our results reveal the respective advantages and disadvantages of the methods, which we discuss in detail.},

In addition to this, using the connection between the Binomial and Poisson distribution we develop similar results for the Poisson channel.

By means of this computationally low-cost transform, the inputs to the classification algorithm are made invariant to sensor orientation, despite the signals being recorded from arbitrary sensor placements. Classification results show that improved performance, in terms of both precision and recall, is achieved with the transformed signals, relative to classification using raw sensor signals, and the algorithm performs competitively compared to the state-of-the-art.

abstract = {Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common heart disorder. One of the most prominent hypothesis about its initiation and maintenance considers multiple uncoordinated activation foci inside the atrium. However, the implicit assumption behind all the signal processing techniques used for AF, such as dominant frequency and organization analysis, is the existence of a single regular component in the observed signals. In this paper we take into account the existence of multiple foci, performing a spectral analysis to detect their number and frequencies. In order to obtain a cleaner signal on which the spectral analysis can be performed, we introduce sparsity-aware learning techniques to infer the spike trains corresponding to the activations. The good performance of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated both on synthetic and real data.},

In a previous paper, we showed that the TEP improves the BP performance for decoding regular and irregular short LDPC codes, but the perspective was mainly empirical. In this work, given the degree-distribution of an LDPC ensemble, we explain and predict the range of code lengths for which the TEP improves the BP solution. In addition, for LDPC ensembles that present a single critical point, we propose a scaling law to accurately predict the performance in the waterfall region. These results are of critical importance to design practical LDPC codes for the TEP decoder.},

abstract = {As shown by Medard (“The effect upon channel capacity in wireless communications of perfect and imperfect knowledge of the channel,” IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory, May 2000), the capacity of fading channels with imperfect channel-state information (CSI) can be lower-bounded by assuming a Gaussian channel input X, and by upper-bounding the conditional entropy h(XY, Ĥ), conditioned on the channel output Y and the CSI Ĥ, by the entropy of a Gaussian random variable with variance equal to the linear minimum mean-square error in estimating X from (Y, Ĥ). We demonstrate that, by using a rate-splitting approach, this lower bound can be sharpened: we show that by expressing the Gaussian input X as as the sum of two independent Gaussian variables X(1) and X(2), and by applying Medard's lower bound first to analyze the mutual information between X(1) and Y conditioned on Ĥ while treating X(2) as noise, and by applying the lower bound then to analyze the mutual information between X(2) and Y conditioned on (X(1), Ĥ), we obtain a lower bound on the capacity that is larger than Medard's lower bound.},

In the present paper, we are interested in seeking the hidden causes behind the suicide attempts, for which we propose to model the subjects using a nonparametric latent model based on the Indian Buffet Process (IBP). Due to the nature of the data, we need to adapt the observation model for discrete random variables. We propose a generative model in which the observations are drawn from a multinomial-logit distribution given the IBP matrix. The implementation of an efficient Gibbs sampler is accomplished using the Laplace approximation, which allows us to integrate out the weighting factors of the multinomial-logit likelihood model. Finally, the experiments over the NESARC database show that our model properly captures some of the hidden causes that model suicide attempts.},

abstract = {Novel efficient algorithms are developed to infer the phase of a complex optical field from a sequence of intensity images taken at different defocus distances. The non-linear observation model is approximated by a linear model. The complex optical field is inferred by iterative Kalman smoothing in the Fourier domain: forward and backward sweeps of Kalman recursions are alternated, and in each such sweep, the approximate linear model is refined. By limiting the number of iterations, one can trade off accuracy vs. complexity. The complexity of each iteration in the proposed algorithm is in the order of N logN, where N is the number of pixels per image. The storage required scales linearly with N. In contrast, the complexity of existing phase inference algorithms scales with N3 and the required storage with N2. The proposed algorithms may enable real-time estimation of optical fields from noisy intensity images.},

abstract = {In this paper, we propose the tree-structured expectation propagation (TEP) algorithm for low-density parity-check (LDPC) decoding over the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. By imposing a tree-like approximation over the graphical model of the code, this algorithm introduces pairwise marginal constraints over pairs of variables, which provide joint information of the variables related. Thanks to this, the proposed TEP decoder improves the performance of the standard belief propagation (BP) solution. An efficient way of constructing the tree-like structure is also described. The simulation results illustrate the TEP decoder gain in the finite-length regime, compared to the standard BP solution. For code lengths shorter than n = 512, the gain in the waterfall region achieves up to 0.25 dB. We also notice a remarkable reduction of the error floo},

abstract = {Wireless Sensor Networks are deployed with the idea of collecting field information of different variables like temperature, position, humidity, etc., from several resourceconstrained sensor nodes, and then relay those data to a sink node or base station. Therefore, the path finding for routing must be carried out with strategies that make it possible to manage efficiently the network limited resources, whilst at the same time the network throughput is kept within appreciable levels. Many routing schemes search for one path, with low power dissipation that may not be convenient to increase the network lifetime and long-term connectivity. In an attempt to overcome such eventualities, we proposed a scenario for relaying that uses multiple diverse paths obtained considering the links among network nodes, that could provide reliable data transmission. When data is transmitted across various diverse paths in the network that offer low retransmission rates, the battery demand can be decreased and network lifetime is extended. We show, by using simulations, that the reliability in packets reception and the power dissipation that our scheme offers compare favourably with similar literature implementations.},

abstract = {In this paper, we propose an algorithm that achieves the MAP solution to decode LDPC codes over the binary erasure channel (BEC). This algorithm, denoted as generalized tree-structured expectation propagation (GTEP), extends the idea of our previous work: the TEP decoder. Both proposals borrow from the tree-structured expectation propagation algorithm, which imposes a tree-like approximation over the original graphical model. However, whereas the TEP decoder only considers up to degree two check nodes, the proposed GTEP modifies the graph by eliminating a check node of any degree and merging this information with the remaining graph. The decoder builds a tree graph of relations between the erased variable nodes with respect to some parent variables. The GTEP algorithm upon completion either provides the unique MAP solution or a tree graph in which the number of parent nodes indicates the multiplicity of the MAP solution. This algorithm can be easily described for the BEC, and it can be cast as a generalized peeling decoder. The GTEP decoder can look for checks nodes of minimum degree to be eliminated first, optimizing the complexity of the decoder. Furthermore, this procedure yields an upper bound for the complexity of the MAP decoder. We include an analysis of the computational complexity of this novel decoder to show that it is a function of the erasure value of the channel, the length of the codeword and the ensemble of the code. We illustrate the proposed algorithm with regular codes, which do not present error floors and achieve capacity when the number of ones per column increases.},

abstract = {We study the scaling behavior of coupled sparse graph codes over the binary erasure channel. In particular, let 2L+1 be the length of the coupled chain, let M be the number of variables in each of the 2L+1 local copies, let ℓ be the number of iterations, let Pb denote the bit error probability, and let ∈ denote the channel parameter. We are interested in how these quantities scale when we let the blocklength (2L + 1)M tend to infinity. Based on empirical evidence we show that the threshold saturation phenomenon is rather stable with respect to the scaling of the various parameters and we formulate some general rules of thumb which can serve as a guide for the design of coding systems based on coupled graphs.},

abstract = {Among the past eight years the information theory has become interested in the exploration of links between the information and estimation theory. The best known results show how the mean square error and the mutual information between two random variables (input and output) over a Gaussian channel can be related. Similar results illustrate that, for the Poisson channel, exists different loss functions that can be associated with information theory concepts such as the mutual information and the relative entropy. The talk is oriented in the following way; initially we analyzed different properties that share the mean square error and its counterparts for the Poisson channel. Some results obtained early by the research community can be seen as consequences of the behavior of the analyzed loss functions. In addition, we present a broader version of the results obtained previously for both channels, we also establish the behavior of the mutual information between two random variables when the conditional distribution of the channel comes from the exponential family. One of the main issues explored along the talk is determining in which cases the loss function involved in the behavior of the mutual information corresponds to a Bregman Loss Function, situation that enable us to establish geometrical properties of the found relations},

abstract = {This paper introduces a divide and conquer approach to the design of transmit and receive filters for communication over a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) Gaussian channel subject to an average power constraint. It involves conversion to a set of parallel scalar channels, possibly with very different gains, followed by coding per sub-channel (i.e. over time) rather than coding across sub-channels (i.e. over time and space). The loss in performance is negligible at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and not significant at medium SNR. The advantages are reduction in signal processing complexity and greater insight into the SNR thresholds at which a channel is first allocated power. This insight is a consequence of formulating the optimal power allocation in terms of an upper bound on error rate that is determined by parameters of the input lattice such as the minimum distance and kissing number. The resulting thresholds are given explicitly in terms of these lattice parameters. By contrast, when the optimization problem is phrased in terms of maximizing mutual information, the solution is mercury waterfilling, and the thresholds are implicit.},

These approximations are typically used over graphs with short-range cycles. We demonstrate that these approximations also help in sparse graphs with long-range loops, as the ones used in coding theory to approach channel capacity. For asymptotically large sparse graph, the expectation propagation algorithm together with the tree structure yields a completely disconnected approximation to the graphical model but, for for finite-length practical sparse graphs, the tree structure approximation to the code graph provides accurate estimates for the marginal of each variable. Furthermore, we propose a new method for constructing the tree structure on the fly that might be more amenable for sparse graphs with general factors.},

The optimization problem to find distributions to maximize the TEP decoding threshold for a fixed-rate code can not be analytically solved. We derive a simplified optimization problem that can be easily solved since it is based in the analytic expressions of the peeling decoder. Two kinds of solutions are obtained from this problem: we either design LDPC ensembles for which the BP threshold equals the MAP threshold or we get LDPC ensembles for which the TEP threshold outperforms the BP threshold, even achieving the MAP capacity in some cases. Hence, we proved that there exist ensembles for which the MAP solution can be obtained with linear complexity even though the BP threshold does not achieve the MAP threshold.},

Simple versions of this problem have received attention in the literature. Optimal solutions exist for the cases in which (a) D \>; 1 and the graph is deterministic or (b) D = 1 and the graph is stochastic (and possibly time-dependent). Here, we address the general problem in which both D \>; 1 and the costs of the edges in the graph are stochastic and time-varying. We tackle this complex global optimization problem by first converting it into an equivalent estimation problem and then computing a numerical solution using a sequential Monte Carlo algorithm. The advantage of the proposed technique over some standard methods (devised for graphs with time-invariant statistics) is illustrated by way of computer simulations.},

This algorithm, denoted as generalized tree-structured expectation propagation (GTEP), extends the idea of our previous work, the TEP decoder. The GTEP modifies the graph by eliminating a check node of any degree and merging this information with the remaining graph. The GTEP decoder upon completion either provides the unique MAP solution or a tree graph in which the number of parent nodes indicates the multiplicity of the MAP solution. This algorithm can be easily described for the BEC, and it can be cast as a generalized peeling decoder. The GTEP naturally optimizes the complexity of the decoder, by looking for checks nodes of minimum degree to be eliminated first.},

abstract = {We address the design of a particle filter (PF) that can be implemented in a distributed manner over a network of wireless sensor nodes, each of them collecting their own local data. This is a problem that has received considerable attention lately and several methods based on consensus, the transmission of likelihood information, the truncation and/or the quantization of data have been proposed. However, all existing schemes suffer from limitations related either to the amount of required communications among the nodes or the accuracy of the filter outputs. In this work we propose a novel distributed PF that is built around the distributed resampling with non-proportional allocation (DRNA) algorithm. This scheme guarantees the properness of the particle approximations produced by the filter and has been shown to be both efficient and accurate when compared with centralized PFs. The standard DRNA technique, however, places stringent demands on the communications among nodes that turn out impractical for a typical wireless sensor network (WSN). In this paper we investigate how to reduce this communication load by using (i) a random model for the spread of data over the WSN and (ii) methods that enable the out-of-sequence processing of sensor observations. A simple numerical illustration of the performance of the new algorithm compared with a centralized PF is provided.},
