INFORMATION THEORETIC CLUSTERING FOR UNSUPERVISED DOMAIN-ADAPTATION

The aim of the domain-adaptation task for speaker verification is to exploit unlabelled target domain data by using the labelled source domain data effectively. The i-vector based Probabilistic Linear Dis- criminant Analysis (PLDA) framework approaches thi ...

Beamforming towards regions of interest for multi-site mobile networks

Paul Hurley, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni

We show how a beamforming technique for analytical spatial filtering, called Flexibeam, can be applied to mobile phone mast broadcasting so as to result in concentrations of power where most devices are. To that end, Flexibeam is interpreted as transmissio ...

Dexterous Undersea Interventions with Far Distance Onshore Supervision: the DexROV Project

Sylvain Calinon, Ajay Kumar Tanwani

The operation of a ROV requires significant off-shore dedicated manpower to handle and operate the robotic platform. In order to reduce the burden of operations, DexROV proposes to work out more cost effective and time efficient ROV operations, where manne ...

Relax and Unfold: Microphone Localization with Euclidean Distance Matrices

Martin Vetterli, Ivan Dokmanic, Juri Ranieri

Recent methods for localization of microphones in a microphone array exploit sound sources at a priori unknown locations. This is convenient for ad-hoc arrays, as it requires little additional infrastructure. We propose a flexible localization algorithm by ...

Obstacles For Splitting Multidimensional Necklaces

Michal Lason

The well-known "necklace splitting theorem" of Alon (1987) asserts that every k-colored necklace can be fairly split into q parts using at most t cuts, provided k(q - 1)

Ad Hoc Microphone Array Calibration: Euclidean Distance Matrix Completion Algorithm and Theoretical Guarantees

Hervé Bourlard, Philip Neil Garner, Afsaneh Asaei, Mohammadjavad Taghizadeh, Reza Parhizkar

This paper addresses the problem of ad hoc microphone array calibration where only partial information about the distances between the microphones is available. We construct a matrix consisting of the pairwise distances and propose to estimate the missing ...

Evaluation of control strategies for fixed-wing drones following slow-moving ground agents

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Grégoire Hilaire Marie Heitz, Maja Varga

There are many situations where fixed-wing drones may be required to track ground moving agents, such as humans or cars, which are typically slower than drones. Some control strategies have been proposed and validated in simulations using the average dista ...

Indoor localization method and system

Martin Vetterli, Reza Parhizkar, Gilles Baechler

An indoor localization method for estimating the location of nodes (n1, n2), at least one node (n1) being connected to at least another node (n2) by at least two different channels (ch1, ch1′), comprising the following steps: measuring a distance between t ...

Dynamics of particles with anisotropic mass depending on time and position

Tudor Ratiu

Representations of solutions of equations describing the diffusion and quantum dynamics of particles in a Riemannian manifold are discussed under the assumption that the mass of particles is anisotropic and depends on both time and position. These equation ...

Listening to Distances and Hearing Shapes

Ivan Dokmanic

A central theme of this thesis is using echoes to achieve useful, interesting, and sometimes surprising results. One should have no doubts about the echoes' constructive potential; it is, after all, demonstrated masterfully by Nature. Just think about the ...
