We propose a new method for performing active contour segmentation based on the statistical prior knowledge of the object to detect. From a binary training set of objects, a statistical map describes the possible shapes of the object by computing the proba ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 of posterior parameter distributions has become widely used in hydrological modeling to estimate the associated modeling uncertainty. The classical underlying statistical model assumes a Gaussian modeling error with zero mean and a given ...
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 ...
In this thesis, we focus on Impulse Radio (IR) Ultra-WideBand (UWB) ranging and positioning techniques under indoor propagation environments. IR-UWB, a new carrierless communication scheme using impulses, is a candidate technology for future communication, ...
We consider the problem of ranging with impulse radio (IR) ultra-wideband (UWB) radio under dense multipaths propagation environments and additive Gaussian noise. We propose a Bayesian detection algorithm where the prior distribution of the channel follows ...
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 ...
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 ...
