abstract = {We consider the problem of daily Human Activity Recognition (HAR) using multiple wireless inertial sensors and, specifically, HAR systems with a very low number of sensors, each one providing an estimation of the performed activities. We propose new Bayesian models to combine the output of the sensors. The models are based on a soft outputs combination of individual classifiers to deal with the small number of sensors. We also incorporate the dynamic nature of human activities as a first order homogeneous Markov chain. We develop both inductive and transductive inference methods for each model to be employed in supervised and semi-supervised situations, respectively. Using different real HAR databases, we compare our classifiers combination models against a single classifier that employs all the signals from the sensors. Our models exhibit consistently a reduction of the error rate and an increase of robustness against sensor failures. Our models also outperform other classifiers combination models that do not consider soft outputs and a Markovian structure of the human activities.},

abstract = {Monte Carlo (MC) methods are well-known computational techniques, widely used in different fields such as signal processing, communications and machine learning. An important class of MC methods is composed of importance sampling (IS) and its adaptive extensions, such as population Monte Carlo (PMC) and adaptive multiple IS (AMIS). In this paper, we introduce a novel adaptive and iterated importance sampler using a population of proposal densities. The proposed algorithm, named adaptive population importance sampling (APIS), provides a global estimation of the variables of interest iteratively, making use of all the samples previously generated. APIS combines a sophisticated scheme to build the IS estimators (based on the deterministic mixture approach) with a simple temporal adaptation (based on epochs). In this way, APIS is able to keep all the advantages of both AMIS and PMC, while minimizing their drawbacks. Furthermore, APIS is easily parallelizable. The cloud of proposals is adapted in such a way that local features of the target density can be better taken into account compared to single global adaptation procedures. The result is a fast, simple, robust, and high-performance algorithm applicable to a wide range of problems. Numerical results show the advantages of the proposed sampling scheme in four synthetic examples and a localization problem in a wireless sensor network.},

abstract = {In this paper, we provide a unified study of the application of kernel density estimators to supervised linear feature extraction by means of criteria inspired by information and detection theory. We enrich this study by the incorporation of two novel criteria to the study, i.e., the mutual information and the likelihood ratio test, and perform both a theoretical and an experimental comparison between the new methods and other ones previously described in the literature. The impact of the bandwidth selection of the density estimator in the classification performance is discussed. Some theoretical results that bound classification performance as a function or mutual information are also compiled. A set of experiments on different real-world datasets allows us to perform an empirical comparison of the methods, in terms of both accuracy and computational complexity. We show the suitability of these methods to determine the dimension of the subspace that contains the discriminative information.},

abstract = {This letter proposes a multioutput support vector regression (M-SVR) method for the simultaneous estimation of different biophysical parameters from remote sensing images. General retrieval problems require multioutput (and potentially nonlinear) regression methods. M-SVR extends the single-output SVR to multiple outputs maintaining the advantages of a sparse and compact solution by using an $epsilon$-insensitive cost function. The proposed M-SVR is evaluated in the estimation of chlorophyll content, leaf area index and fractional vegetation cover from a hyperspectral compact high-resolution imaging spectrometer images. The achieved improvement with respect to the single-output regression approach suggests that M-SVR can be considered a convenient alternative for nonparametric biophysical parameter estimation and model inversion.},
