Dynamic lane restrictions on congested arterials

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Paul Richard Anderson

Buses operating in mixed traffic experience problems with delay and travel time variability in peak periods. Numerous transit priority measures are found in the literature but most rely on separating buses from other vehicles. Complete separation such as d ...

Binary Sparse Coding of Convolutive Mixtures for Sound Localization and Separation via Spatialization

Hervé Bourlard, Volkan Cevher, Afsaneh Asaei, Mohammadjavad Taghizadeh, Saeid Haghighatshoar

We propose a sparse coding approach to address the problem of source-sensor localization and speech reconstruction. This approach relies on designing a dictionary of spatialized signals by projecting the microphone array recordings into the array manifolds ...

Convexity in source separation: Models, geometry, and algorithms

Volkan Cevher, Afsaneh Asaei, Quoc Tran Dinh, Luca Baldassarre

Source separation, or demixing, is the process of extracting multiple components entangled within a signal. Contemporary signal processing presents a host of difficult source separation problems, from interference cancellation to background subtraction, bl ...

Spatial Democracy, a Capability Approach towards Commensurability

Thomas Charles Marie Pierre Favre-Bulle

Metropolitanization, through the upscaling of urban systems and lifestyles, changes the political patterns of urban areas. Many models of governance have been proposed both to improve the quality and optimize efficiency of urban policies. However surveys s ...

Sparse Reverberant Audio Source Separation via Reweighted Analysis

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Pierre Vandergheynst, Yves Wiaux, Rafael Eduardo Carrillo Rangel

We propose a novel algorithm for source signals estimation from an underdetermined convolutive mixture assuming known mixing filters. Most of the state-of-the-art methods are dealing with anechoic or short reverberant mixture, assuming a synthesis sparse p ...

Orthogonality of Two-Dimensional Separations Based on Conditional Entropy

Hubert Girault, Mohammad Reza Pourhaghighi, Mohammad Karzand

A new approach to assess the orthogonality of two-dimensional (2-D) separation systems based on conditional entropy is developed. It considers the quantitative distribution of peaks in the entire separation space such that the orthogonality obtained is ind ...

Source/Filter Model for Unsupervised Main Melody Extraction From Polyphonic Audio Signals

Extracting the main melody from a polyphonic music recording seems natural even to untrained human listeners. To a certain extent it is related to the concept of source separation, with the human ability of focusing on a specific source in order to extract ...

Sparsity-based Source Separation with Scale-Discretized Steerable Wavelets

Pierre Vandergheynst, Yves Wiaux

In this talk, we discuss the issue of source separation in a signal on the sphere or on the plane, relying on the sparsity of one signal component in a scale-discretized steerable wavelet basis. The steerability of wavelets allows to probe in detail the lo ...

Interactions of Commitment and Discretion in Monetary and Fiscal Policies

Luisa Lambertini

We consider monetary-fiscal interactions when the monetary authority is more conservative than the fiscal. With both policies discretionary, (1) Nash equilibrium yields lower output and higher price than the ideal points of both authorities, (2) of the two ...
