估计盲信源分离混合矩阵的通用方法

混合矩阵的估计是解决盲信源分离问题的关键一步,但现有研究中缺乏一种同时适用于适定、超定及欠定情况下混合矩阵估计的通用方法。根据张量标准分解的因子矩阵和盲信源分离混合矩阵的估计均存在幅值和排列顺序的不确定性这一性质,将混合矩阵的估计转化为观测信号统计量所组成张量的标准分解问题,标准分解采用循环最小化方法,通过交替最小二乘算法实现。理论分析和仿真实验表明,所提方法可有效解决适定、超定和欠定混合矩阵的估计,是一种估计盲信源分离混合矩阵的通用方法。     

基于势函数与压缩感知的欠定盲源分离

传统的基于K均值聚类算法及最小路径法的欠定盲源分离两步法存在K值难以确定,对初始值敏感,噪声和奇异点难以排除以及相对缺乏理论依据等诸多不足,针对以上问题,提出了基于势函数及压缩感知理论的新型两步算法。该算法首先利用多峰值粒子群寻优算法改进的势函数法来估计混合矩阵,然后利用估计矩阵来构建传感矩阵,并将基于正交匹配追踪的压缩感知算法引入欠定盲源分离过程中,最终实现源信号的重构。仿真实验结果表明,混合矩阵最高估计精度达到99.13%,重构信号干扰比均高于10dB,很好的满足了重构精度的要求,验证了本文算法的有效性。所提算法对一维混合信号的欠定盲源分离具有良好的普适性和较高的准确率。

基于行列式和稀疏性约束的NMF的欠定盲分离方法

非负矩阵分解（NMF）要求分解得到的左矩阵为列满秩,这限制了它在欠定盲分离（UBSS）中的应用。针对此问题,提出基于带行列式和稀疏性约束的NMF的欠定盲分离算法——DSNMF。该算法在基本NMF的基础上,对NMF得到的左矩阵进行行列式准则约束,对右矩阵进行稀疏性约束,平衡了重构误差、混合矩阵的唯一性以及分离信号的稀疏特性,实现了对混合矩阵和源信号的欠定盲分离。仿真结果表明,在源信号稀疏性较好和较差两种情况下,DSNMF都能取得良好的分离效果。

基于核估计的超定混合共轭盲信号分离方法

当混合信号的个数多于源信号时,盲源分离模型中的混合矩阵被描述为一个超定矩阵,因此不能直接通过估计逆矩阵的方法来得到分离矩阵。针对该线性超定混合情况提出了一种基于共轭梯度的盲源分离方法。该方法基于最小互信息准则,通过对行满秩分离矩阵的奇异值分解而引入了超定盲源分离的代价函数。利用共轭梯度优化算法推导出了迭代计算分离矩阵的更新公式。在每次迭代计算中,利用随机变量概率密度估计的核函数法在线估计分离信号的评价函数。避免了诸多传统盲分离算法中只能凭经验选取特定的非线性函数来代替评价函数的问题。仿真结果验证了所提算法的有效性。

Only connect: teaching, technology and telesis

Abstract This paper describes an approach to the design of interactive multimedia materials being developed in a European Community project. The developmental process is seen as a dialogue between technologists and teachers. This dialogue is often problematic because of the differences in training, experience and culture between them. Conditions needed for fruitful dialogue are described and the generic model for learning design used in the project is explained.     

European Community policy and the market

Abstract This paper starts with some reflections on the policy considerations and priorities which are shaping European Commission (EC) research programmes. Then it attempts to position the current projects which seek to capitalise on information and communications technologies for learning in relation to these priorities and the apparent realities of the marketplace. It concludes that while there are grounds to be optimistic about the contribution EC programmes can make to the efficiency and standard of education and training, they are still too technology driven.

Avoiding semantic and temporal gaps in developing software intensive systems

Development of software intensive systems (systems) in practice involves a series of self-contained phases for the lifecycle of a system. Semantic and temporal gaps, which occur among phases and among developer disciplines within and across phases, hinder the ongoing development of a system because of the interdependencies among phases and among disciplines. Such gaps are magnified among systems that are developed at different times by different development teams, which may limit reuse of artifacts of systems development and interoperability among the systems. This article discusses such gaps and a systems development process for avoiding them.     

Designing economic np control charts: A programmed simulation approach

This paper presents control charts models and the necessary simulation software for the location of economic values of the control parameters. The simulation program is written in FORTRAN, requires only 10K of main storage, and can run on most mini and micro computers. Two models are presented - one describes the process when it is operating at full capacity and the other when the process is operating under capacity. The models allow the product quality to deteriorate to a further level before an existing out-of-control state is detected, and they can also be used in situations where no prior knowledge exists of the out-of-control causes and the resulting proportion defectives.     

The development of robot art

Going through a few examples of robot artists who are recognized worldwide, we try to analyze the deepest meaning of what is called “robot art” and the related art field definition. We also try to highlight its well-marked borders, such as kinetic sculptures, kinetic art, cyber art, and cyberpunk. A brief excursion into the importance of the context, the message, and its semiotics is also provided, case by case, together with a few hints on the history of this discipline in the light of an artistic perspective. Therefore, the aim of this article is to try to summarize the main characteristics that might classify robot art as a unique and innovative discipline, and to track down some of the principles by which a robotic artifact can or cannot be considered an art piece in terms of social, cultural, and strictly artistic interest. This work was presented in part at the 13th International Symposium on Artificial Life and Robotics, Oita, Japan, January 31–February 2, 2008     

Explanation and prediction: an architecture for default and abductive reasoning

Although there are many arguments that logic is an appropriate tool for artificial intelligence, there has been a perceived problem with the monotonicity of classical logic. This paper elaborates on the idea that reasoning should be viewed as theory formation where logic tells us the consequences of our assumptions. The two activities of predicting what is expected to be true and explaining observations are considered in a simple theory formation framework. Properties of each activity are discussed, along with a number of proposals as to what should be predicted or accepted as reasonable explanations. An architecture is proposed to combine explanation and prediction into one coherent framework. Algorithms used to implement the system as well as examples from a running implementation are given.     

Three Process Perspectives: Organizations, Teams, and People

This paper provides the author's personal views and perspectives on software process improvement. Starting with his first work on technology assessment in IBM over 20 years ago, Watts Humphrey describes the process improvement work he has been directly involved in. This includes the development of the early process assessment methods, the original design of the CMM, and the introduction of the Personal Software Process (PSP)^SM and Team Software Process (TSP){^SM}. In addition to describing the original motivation for this work, the author also reviews many of the problems he and his associates encountered and why they solved them the way they did. He also comments on the outstanding issues and likely directions for future work. Finally, this work has built on the experiences and contributions of many people. Mr. Humphrey only describes work that he was personally involved in and he names many of the key contributors. However, so many people have been involved in this work that a full list of the important participants would be impractical.

提出了一种基于复小波域统计建模与噪声方差估计显著性修正相结合的合成孔径雷达(Synthetic Aperture Radar,SAR)图像斑点噪声滤波方法。该方法首先通过对数变换将乘性噪声模型转化为加性噪声模型,然后对变换后的图像进行双树复小波变换(Dualtree Complex Wavelet Transform,DCWT),并对复数小波系数的统计分布进行建模。在此先验分布的基础上,通过运用贝叶斯估计方法从含噪系数中恢复原始系数,达到滤除噪声的目的。实验结果表明该方法在去除噪声的同时保留了图像的细节信息,取得了很好的降噪效果。
