Proceedings Article
Robust Frequency-Domain Bispectrum Estimation
TL;DR: In this article, a new bicoherence measure based on the a-trimmed mean bispectrum is proposed to estimate higher order statistical quantities (e.g., Bicoherence).
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Capacity Lower Bounds for Two-Dimensional M-ary (0, k) and (d, ∞) Runlength-limited Channels
TL;DR: Lower bounds on the two-dimensional capacity for two sets of symmetric and asymmetric M-ary runlength-limited constraints are presented and sequential coding algorithms achieving the derived capacity lower bounds are given.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A neural network equalizer with the fuzzy decision learning rule
TL;DR: A neural network equalizer with a fuzzy decision learning rule based on the generalized probabilistic descent algorithm with the minimum decision error formulation that works more effectively than hard decision learning algorithms when the learning patterns are not separable by high additive noise.
Book ChapterDOI
Robust Linear Regression and Anomaly Detection in the Presence of Poisson Noise Using Expectation-Propagation
TL;DR: In this article, a family of approximate Bayesian methods for joint anomaly detection and linear regression in the presence of non-Gaussian noise is presented, which aim at approximating complex distributions by more tractable models to simplify the inference process.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Using a nonlinear model to synthesise natural-sounding vowels
Iain Mann,Stephen McLaughlin +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a nonlinear model based on a radial basis function (RBF) neural network, with a global feedback loop, was used to generate vowel sounds of any required duration which also contain jitter and shimmer.
