abstract = {We determine the linear precoding policy that maximizes the mutual information for general multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) Gaussian channels with arbitrary input distributions, by capitalizing on the relationship between mutual information and minimum mean squared error (MMSE). The optimal linear precoder can be computed by means of a fixed- point equation as a function of the channel and the input constellation. We show that diagonalizing the channel matrix does not maximize the information transmission rate for nonGaussian inputs. A full precoding matrix may significantly increase the information transmission rate, even for parallel non-interacting channels. We illustrate the application of our results to typical Gigabit DSL systems.},

We show that the optimal input covariance satisfies a simple fixed-point equation involving key system quantities, including the MMSE matrix. We also specialize the form of the optimal input covariance to the asymptotic regimes of low and high snr. We demonstrate that in the low-snr regime the optimal covariance fully correlates the inputs to better combat noise. In contrast, in the high-snr regime the optimal covariance is diagonal with diagonal elements obeying the generalized mercury/waterfilling power allocation policy. Numerical results illustrate that covariance optimization may lead to significant gains with respect to conventional strategies based on channel diagonalization followed by mercury/waterfilling or waterfilling power allocation, particularly in the regimes of medium and high snr.},

abstract = {In the equalization of frequency-selective multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels it is usually assumed that the length of the channel impulse response (CIR), also referred to as the channel order, is known. However, this is not true in most practical situations and, in order to avoid the serious performance degradation that occurs when the CIR length is underestimated, a channel with "more than enough" taps is usually considered. This possibly means overestimating the channel order, and is not desirable since the computational complexity of maximum likelihood sequence detection (MLSD) in frequency-selective channels grows exponentially with the channel order. In addition to that, the higher the channel order considered, the more the number of channel coefficients that need to be estimated from the same set of observations. In this paper, we introduce an algorithm for MLSD that incorporates the full estimation of the MIMO CIR parameters, including its order. The proposed technique is based on the per survivor processing (PSP) methodology, it admits both blind and semiblind implementations, depending on the availability of pilot data, and is designed to work with time-selective channels. Besides the analytical derivation of the algorithm, we provide computer simulation results that illustrate the effectiveness of the resulting receiver.},

The next generation of communication systems and standards should be able to outperform in a littoral combat environment with a high density of civilian emissions and “ad-hoc” spot jammers. In this operational context it is extremely important to ensure the proper performance of the information grid and to provide not all the available but only the required information in real time either by broadcasting or upon demand, with the best possible “quality of service”. Existing tactical data link systems and standards have being designed to convey mainly textual information such as surveillance and identification data, electronic warfare parameters, aircraft control information, coded voice. The future tactical data link systems and standards should take into consideration the multimedia nature of most of the dispersed and “fuzzy” information available in the battlefield to correlate the ISR components in a way to better contribute to the Network Centric Operations. For this to be accomplished new wideband coalition waveforms should be developed and new coding and image compression standards should be taken into account, such as MPEG-7 (Multimedia Content Description Interface), MPEG-21, JPEG2000 and many others. In the meantime it is important to find new applications for the current tactical data links in order to better exploit their capabilities and to overcome or minimize their limitations.},

We modify the classical test by introducing a likelihood ratio interval which accommodates the uncertainty in the pdfs. The test finishes when the whole likelihood ratio interval crosses one of the thresholds and reduces to the classical test as the number of samples to describe the hypotheses tend to infinity. We illustrate the performance of this test in a medical image application related to tuberculosis diagnosis. We show in this example how the test confidence level can be accurately determined.},

GPR's main advantage, compared to previous nonlinear estimation approaches, lies on their capability to optimize the kernel hyperparameters by maximum likelihood, which improves its performance significantly for short training sequences. Besides, GPR can be understood as a nonlinear minimum mean square error estimator, a standard criterion for training equalizers that trades off the inversion of the channel and the amplification of the noise. In the experiment section, we show that the GPR-based equalizer clearly outperforms support vector machine and kernel adaline approaches, exhibiting outstanding results for short training sequences.},

abstract = {PURPOSE: Mental health is one of the priorities of the European Commission. Studies of the use and cost of mental health facilities are needed in order to improve the planning and efficiey of mental health resources. We analyze the patterns of mental health service use in multiple clinical settings to identify factors associated with high cost. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: 22,859 patients received psychiatric care in the catchment area of a Spanish hospital (2000-2004). They had 365,262 psychiatric consultations in multiple settings. Two groups were selected that generated 80% of total costs: the medium cost group (N = 4,212; 50% of costs), and the high cost group (N = 236; 30% of costs). Statistical analyses were performed using univariate and multivariate techniques. Significant variables in univariate analyses were introduced as independent variables in a logistic regression analysis using "high cost" (\>7,263$) as dependent variable. RESULTS: Costs were not evenly distributed throughout the sample. 19.4% of patients generated 80% of costs. The variables associated with high cost were: age group 1 (0-14 years) at the first evaluation, permanent disability, and ICD-10 diagnoses: Organic, including symptomatic, mental disorders; Mental and behavioural disorders due to psychoactive substance use; Schizophrenia, schizotypal and delusional disorders; Behavioural syndromes associated with physiological disturbances and physical factors; External causes of morbidity and mortality; and Factors influencing health status and contact with health services. DISCUSSION: Mental healthcare costs were not evenly distributed throughout the patient population. The highest costs are associated with early onset of the mental disorder, permanent disability, organic mental disorders, substance-related disorders, psychotic disorders, and external factors that influence the health status and contact with health services or cause morbidity and mortality. CONCLUSION: Variables related to psychiatric diagnoses and sociodemographic factors have influence on the cost of mental healthcare.},

abstract = {We propose Gaussian processes (GPs) as a novel nonlinear receiver for digital communication systems. The GPs framework can be used to solve both classification (GPC) and regression (GPR) problems. The minimum mean squared error solution is the expectation of the transmitted symbol given the information at the receiver, which is a nonlinear function of the received symbols for discrete inputs. GPR can be presented as a nonlinear MMSE estimator and thus capable of achieving optimal performance from MMSE viewpoint. Also, the design of digital communication receivers can be viewed as a detection problem, for which GPC is specially suited as it assigns posterior probabilities to each transmitted symbol. We explore the suitability of GPs as nonlinear digital communication receivers. GPs are Bayesian machine learning tools that formulates a likelihood function for its hyperparameters, which can then be set optimally. GPs outperform state-of-the-art nonlinear machine learning approaches that prespecify their hyperparameters or rely on cross validation. We illustrate the advantages of GPs as digital communication receivers for linear and nonlinear channel models for short training sequences and compare them to state-of-the-art nonlinear machine learning tools, such as support vector machines.},

abstract = {In this paper we present a novel approach to the problem of speaker segmentation, which is an unavoidable previous step to audio indexing. Mutual information is used for evaluating the accuracy of the segmentation, as a function to be maximized by a simulated annealing (SA) algorithm. We introduce a novel mutation operator for the SA, the Consecutive Bits Mutation operator, which improves the performance of the SA in this problem. We also use the so-called Compaction Factor, which allows the SA to operate in a reduced search space. Our algorithm has been tested in the segmentation of real audio databases, and it has been compared to several existing algorithms for speaker segmentation, obtaining very good results in the test problems considered.},

abstract = {The ability to perform nearly optimal equalization of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) wireless channels using sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) techniques has recently been demonstrated. SMC methods allow to recursively approximate the a posteriori probabilities of the transmitted symbols, as observations are sequentially collected, using samples from adequate probability distributions. Hence, they are a class of online (adaptive) algorithms, suitable to handle the time-varying channels typical of high speed mobile communication applications. The main drawback of the SMC-based MIMO-channel equalizers so far proposed is that their computational complexity grows exponentially with the number of input data streams and the length of the channel impulse response, rendering these methods impractical. In this paper, we introduce novel SMC schemes that overcome this limitation by the adequate design of proposal probability distribution functions that can be sampled with a lesser computational burden, yet provide a close-to-optimal performance in terms of the resulting equalizer bit error rate and channel estimation error. We show that the complexity of the resulting receivers grows polynomially with the number of input data streams and the length of the channel response, and present computer simulation results that illustrate their performance in some typical scenarios.},

abstract = {In this paper, we present a novel scheme for linear feature extraction in classification. The method is based on the maximization of the mutual information (MI) between the features extracted and the classes. The sum of the MI corresponding to each of the features is taken as an heuristic that approximates the MI of the whole output vector. Then, a component-by-component gradient-ascent method is proposed for the maximization of the MI, similar to the gradient-based entropy optimization used in independent component analysis (ICA). The simulation results show that not only is the method competitive when compared to existing supervised feature extraction methods in all cases studied, but it also remarkably outperform them when the data are characterized by strongly nonlinear boundaries between classes.},

abstract = {Background: Suicide is a major global public health issue that is becoming increasingly common despite preventive efforts. Though current methods for predicting suicide risk are not sufficiently accurate, technological advances provide invaluable tools with which we may evolve toward a personalized, predictive approach. Objective: We aim to predict the short-term (1-week) risk of suicide by identifying changes in behavioral patterns characterized through real-time smartphone monitoring in a cohort of patients with suicidal ideation. Methods: We recruited 225 patients between February 2018 and March 2020 with a history of suicidal thoughts and behavior as part of the multicenter SmartCrisis study. Throughout 6 months of follow-up, we collected information on the risk of suicide or mental health crises. All participants underwent voluntary passive monitoring using data generated by their own smartphones, including distance walked and steps taken, time spent at home, and app usage. The algorithm constructs daily activity profiles for each patient according to these data and detects changes in the distribution of these profiles over time. Such changes are considered critical periods, and their relationship with suicide-risk events was tested. Results: During follow-up, 18 (8%) participants attempted suicide, and 14 (6.2%) presented to the emergency department for psychiatric care. The behavioral changes identified by the algorithm predicted suicide risk in a time frame of 1 week with an area under the curve of 0.78, indicating good accuracy. Conclusions: We describe an innovative method to identify mental health crises based on passively collected information from patients' smartphones. This technology could be applied to homogeneous groups of patients to identify different types of crises.},
