Functional data analysis with rough sample paths?

Victor Panaretos, Neda Mohammadi Jouzdani

Functional data are typically modeled as sample paths of smooth stochastic processes in order to mitigate the fact that they are often observed discretely and noisily, occasionally irregularly and sparsely. The smoothness assumption is imposed to allow for ...

A Modulated Closed Form solution for Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping - A thorough evaluation and comparison to iterative methods based on edge prior knowledge

Rolf Gruetter, Yves Wiaux, José Pedro Rebelo Ferreira Marques, Diana Khabipova

The aim of this study is to perform a thorough comparison of quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) techniques and their dependence on the assumptions made. The compared methodologies were: two iterative single orientation methodologies minimizing the l ...

Structured sparsity for spatially coherent fibre orientation estimation in diffusion MRI

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Yves Wiaux, Alessandro Daducci, Anna Auria Rasclosa

We propose a novel formulation to solve the problem of intra-voxel reconstruction of the fibre orientation distribution function (FOD) in each voxel of the white matter of the brain from diffusion MRI data. The majority of the state-of-the-art methods in t ...

Integrating Language Identification to improve Multilingual Speech Recognition

Holger Caesar

The process of determining the language of a speech utterance is called Language Identification (LID). This task can be very challenging as it has to take into account various language-specific aspects, such as phonetic, phonotactic, vocabulary and grammar ...

Fisher Kernels and Probabilistic Latent Semantic Models

Emmanuel Eckard

Tasks that rely on semantic content of documents, notably Information Retrieval and Document Classification, can benefit from a good account of document context, i.e. the semantic association between documents. To this effect, the scheme of latent semantic ...

Statistical analysis of clusters of extreme events

Mária Süveges

The thesis is a contribution to extreme-value statistics, more precisely to the estimation of clustering characteristics of extreme values. One summary measure of the tendency to form groups is the inverse average cluster size. In extreme-value context, th ...

Predicting spacial similarity of freshwater fish biodiversity

Andrea Rinaldo, Mihaela Marian

A major issue in modern ecology is to understand how ecological complexity at broad scales is regulated by mechanisms operating at the organismic level. What specific underlying processes are essential for a macroecological pattern to emerge? Here, we anal ...

Bayesian Inference and Optimal Design in the Sparse Linear Model

Matthias Seeger

The linear model with sparsity-favouring prior on the coefficients has important applications in many different domains. In machine learning, most methods to date search for maximum a posteriori sparse solutions and neglect to represent posterior uncertain ...

Bayesian Inference for Spiking Neuron Models with a Sparsity Prior

Matthias Seeger, Matthias Bethge

Generalized linear models are the most commonly used tools to describe the stimulus selectivity of sensory neurons. Here we present a Bayesian treatment of such models. Using the expectation propagation algorithm, we are able to approximate the full poster ...

Bayesian Inference for Sparse Generalized Linear Models

Matthias Seeger, Matthias Bethge

We present a framework for efficient, accurate approximate Bayesian inference in generalized linear models (GLMs), based on the expectation propagation (EP) technique. The parameters can be endowed with a factorizing prior distribution, encoding properties ...
