Inverse Acoustic and Electromagnetic Scattering Theory, Second Edition

by David Colton , 1998
"... Abstract. This paper is a survey of the inverse scattering problem for time-harmonic acoustic and electromagnetic waves at fixed frequency. We begin by a discussion of “weak scattering ” and Newton-type methods for solving the inverse scattering problem for acoustic waves, including a brief discussi ..."

Non-Uniform Random Variate Generation

by Luc Devroye , 1986
"... This is a survey of the main methods in non-uniform random variate generation, and highlights recent research on the subject. Classical paradigms such as inversion, rejection, guide tables, and transformations are reviewed. We provide information on the expected time complexity of various algorith ..."

A fast iterative shrinkage-thresholding algorithm with application to . . .

by Amir Beck, Marc Teboulle , 2009
"... We consider the class of Iterative Shrinkage-Thresholding Algorithms (ISTA) for solving linear inverse problems arising in signal/image processing. This class of methods is attractive due to its simplicity, however, they are also known to converge quite slowly. In this paper we present a Fast Iterat ..."

SIGNAL RECOVERY BY PROXIMAL FORWARD-BACKWARD SPLITTING

by Patrick L. Combettes, Valérie R. Wajs - MULTISCALE MODEL. SIMUL. TO APPEAR
"... We show that various inverse problems in signal recovery can be formulated as the generic problem of minimizing the sum of two convex functions with certain regularity properties. This formulation makes it possible to derive existence, uniqueness, characterization, and stability results in a unifi ..."

NewsWeeder: Learning to Filter Netnews

by Ken Lang - in Proceedings of the 12th International Machine Learning Conference (ML95 , 1995
"... A significant problem in many information filtering systems is the dependence on the user for the creation and maintenance of a user profile, which describes the user's interests. NewsWeeder is a netnews-filtering system that addresses this problem by letting the user rate his or her interest l ..."

Toward a model of text comprehension and production

by Walter Kintsch, Teun A. Van Dijk - Psychological Review , 1978
"... The semantic structure of texts can be described both at the local microlevel and at a more global macrolevel. A model for text comprehension based on this notion accounts for the formation of a coherent semantic text base in terms of a cyclical process constrained by limitations of working memory. ..."

This process is partly reproductive and partly constructive, involving the inverse operation of the macro-operators. The model is applied

K-SVD: An Algorithm for Designing Overcomplete Dictionaries for Sparse Representation

by Michal Aharon, et al. , 2006
"... In recent years there has been a growing interest in the study of sparse representation of signals. Using an overcomplete dictionary that contains prototype signal-atoms, signals are described by sparse linear combinations of these atoms. Applications that use sparse representation are many and inc ..."

and include compression, regularization in inverse problems, feature extraction, and more. Recent activity in this field has concentrated mainly on the study of pursuit algorithms that decompose signals with respect to a given dictionary. Designing dictionaries to better fit the above model can be done

A Bayesian Framework for the Analysis of Microarray Expression Data: Regularized t-Test and Statistical Inferences of Gene Changes

by Pierre Baldi, Anthony D. Long - Bioinformatics , 2001
"... Motivation: DNA microarrays are now capable of providing genome-wide patterns of gene expression across many different conditions. The first level of analysis of these patterns requires determining whether observed differences in expression are significant or not. Current methods are unsatisfactory ..."

Hierarchical Modelling and Analysis for Spatial Data. Chapman and Hall/CRC,

by S Banerjee , B P Carlin , A E Gelfand , Chapman , / Hall , New Crc , N York; Cressie , P J Diggle , P J Ribeiro Jr , B D Ripley , 2004
"... Abstract Often, there are two streams in statistical research -one developed by practitioners and other by main stream statisticians. Development of geostatistics is a very good example where pioneering work under realistic assumptions came from mining engineers whereas it is only now that statisti ..."

The subject with statistical emphasis has been evolving, as seen by various excellent books from statistical sides (Banerjee, S., Introduction It is well known that the maximum likelihood (ML) method is a powerful statistical tool in estimation

Zero-forcing methods for downlink spatial multiplexing in multiuser MIMO channels

by Quentin H. Spencer, A. Lee Swindlehurst, Martin Haardt - IEEE TRANS. SIGNAL PROCESSING , 2004
"... The use of space-division multiple access (SDMA) in the downlink of a multiuser multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communications network can provide a substantial gain in system throughput. The challenge in such multiuser systems is designing transmit vectors while considering the co-c ..."

of these problems possess closed-form solutions for the general multiuser MIMO channel, but the imposition of certain constraints can lead to closed-form solutions. This paper presents two such constrained solutions. The first, referred to as “block-diagonalization,” is a generalization of channel inversion when
