Robust Adaptive Decision Making: Bayesian Optimization and Beyond

The central task in many interactive machine learning systems can be formalized as the sequential optimization of a black-box function. Bayesian optimization (BO) is a powerful model-based framework for \emph{adaptive} experimentation, where the primary go ...

Comparing methodologies for structural identification and fatigue life prediction of a highway bridge

Ian Smith, Alain Nussbaumer, Sai Ganesh Sarvotham Pai

Accurate measurement-data interpretation leads to increased understanding of structural behavior and enhanced asset-management decision making. In this paper, four data-interpretation methodologies, residual minimization, traditional Bayesian model updatin ...

Decoding of Self-paced Lower-Limb Movement Intention: A Case Study on the Influence Factors

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Dong Liu

Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) have been applied as new rehabilitation tools for motor disabled individuals. Active involvement of cerebral activity has been shown to enhance neuroplasticity and thus to restore mobility. Various studies have focused on th ...

MAGIC observations of the February 2014 flare of 1ES 1011+496 and ensuing constraint of the EBL density

Thomas Günther Bretz

Context. During February-March 2014, the MAGIC telescopes observed the high-frequency peaked BL Lac 1ES 1011 + 496 (z = 0.212) in flaring state at very-high energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV). The flux reached a level of more than ten times higher than any previous ...

Adaptive Image Resizing Based on Continuous-Domain Stochastic Modeling

Michaël Unser, John Paul Ward, Aurélien Bourquard, Hagay Kirshner

We introduce an adaptive continuous-domain modeling approach to texture and natural images. The continuous-domain image is assumed to be a smooth function, and we embed it in a parameterized Sobolev space. We point out a link between Sobolev spaces and sto ...

A Sampling Theory Approach for Continuous ARMA Identification

Michaël Unser, Hagay Kirshner, Simona Maggio

The problem of estimating continuous-domain autoregressive moving-average processes from sampled data is considered. The proposed approach incorporates the sampling process into the problem formulation while introducing exponential models for both the cont ...

Maximum-Likelihood Identification of Sampled Gaussian Processes

Michaël Unser, Hagay Kirshner, Simona Maggio

This work considers sampled data of continuous-domain Gaussian processes. We derive a maximum-likelihood estimator for identifying autoregressive moving average parameters while incorporating the sampling process into the problem formulation. The proposed ...

Image formation and tomogram reconstruction in optical coherence microscopy

Theo Lasser, Martin Villiger

In this work we present a model for image formation in optical coherence microscopy. In the spectral domain detection, each wavenumber has a specific coherent transfer function that samples a different part of the object's spatial frequency spectrum. The r ...
