There has been a lot of recent work on Bayesian methods for reinforcement learning exhibiting near-optimal online performance. The main obstacle facing such methods is that in most problems of interest, the optimal solution involves planning in an infinite ...
Smartphones collect a wealth of information about their users. This includes GPS tracks and the MAC addresses of devices around the user, and it can go as far as taking visual and acoustic samples of the user's environment. We present a framework to identi ...
We describe a method for aligning multiple unlabeled configurations simultane- ously. Specifically, we extend the two-configuration matching approach of Green and Mardia (2006) to the multiple configuration setting. Our approach is based on the in- troduct ...

We consider the problem of positioning estimation with impulse radio (IR) ultra-wideband (UWB) radio under dense multipaths and additive Gaussian noise environments. Most popular positioning algorithms first estimate certain parameters (such as time of arr ...
We show how variational Bayesian inference can be implemented for very large binary classification generalized linear models. Our relaxation is shown to be a convex problem for any log-concave model, and we provide an efficient double loop algorithm for so ...
We show that estimation of parameters for the popular Gaussian model of speech in noise can be regularised in a Bayesian sense by use of simple prior distributions. For two example prior distributions, we show that the marginal distribution of the uncorrup ...
An algorithm is proposed for denoising the signal induced by cosmic strings in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). A Bayesian approach is taken, based on modeling the string signal in the wavelet domain with generalized Gaussian distributions. Good perf ...
This work describes a solution to the validation challenge problem posed at the SANDIA Validation Challenge Workshop, May 21-23, 2006, NM. It presents and applies a general methodology to it. The solution entails several standard steps, namely selecting an ...
Two-component mixture distributions with one component a point mass and the other a continuous density may be used as priors for Bayesian inference when sparse representation of an underlying signal is required. We show how saddlepoint approximation in suc ...
