SLAM++1-A highly efficient and temporally scalable incremental SLAM framework

Abstract: The most common way to deal with the uncertainty present in noisy sensorial perception and action is to model the problem with a probabilistic framework. Maximum likelihood estimation is a well-kno...

Computational Design of Stable and Soluble Biocatalysts

Abstract: Natural enzymes are delicate biomolecules possessing only marginal thermodynamic stability. Poorly stable, misfolded, and aggregated proteins lead to huge economic losses in the biotechnology and b...

Bayesian HMM Based x-Vector Clustering for Speaker Diarization.

Abstract: This paper presents a simplified version of the previously proposed diarization algorithm based on Bayesian Hidden Markov Models, which uses Variational Bayesian inference for very fast and robust clustering of x-vector (neural network based speaker embeddings). The presented results show that this clustering algorithm provides significant improvements in diarization performance as compared to the previously used Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering. The output of this system can be further employed as an initialization for a second stage VB diarization system, using frame-wise MFCC features as input, to obtain optimal results.

Coherence-controlled holographic microscope

Abstract: Transmitted-light coherence-controlled holographic microscope (CCHM) based on an off-axis achromatic interferometer allows us to use light sources of arbitrary degree of temporal and spatial coherence. Besides the conventional DHM modes such as quantitative phase contrast imaging and numerical 3D holographic reconstruction it provides high quality (speckle-free) imaging, improved lateral resolution and optical sectioning by coherence gating. Optical setup parameters and their limits for a technical realization are derived and described in detail. To demonstrate the optical sectioning property of the microscope a model sample uncovered and then covered with a diffuser was observed using a low-coherence light source.
