A Primal-Dual Proximal Algorithm for Sparse Template-Based Adaptive Filtering: Application to Seismic Multiple Removal
Unveiling meaningful geophysical information from seismic data requires to
deal with both random and structured "noises". As their amplitude may be
greater than signals of interest (primaries), additional prior information is
especially important in performing efficient signal separation. We address here
the problem of multiple reflections, caused by wave-field bouncing between
layers. Since only approximate models of these phenomena are available, we
propose a flexible framework for time-varying adaptive filtering of seismic
signals, using sparse representations, based on inaccurate templates. We recast
the joint estimation of adaptive filters and primaries in a new convex
variational formulation. This approach allows us to incorporate plausible
knowledge about noise statistics, data sparsity and slow filter variation in
parsimony-promoting wavelet frames. The designed primal-dual algorithm solves a
constrained minimization problem that alleviates standard regularization issues
in finding hyperparameters. The approach demonstrates significantly good
performance in low signal-to-noise ratio conditions, both for simulated and
real field seismic data

The implicit objective of the biennial "international - Traveling Workshop on
Interactions between Sparse models and Technology" (iTWIST) is to foster
collaboration between international scientific teams by disseminating ideas
through both specific oral/poster presentations and free discussions. For its
second edition, the iTWIST workshop took place in the medieval and picturesque
town of Namur in Belgium, from Wednesday August 27th till Friday August 29th,
2014. The workshop was conveniently located in "The Arsenal" building within
walking distance of both hotels and town center. iTWIST'14 has gathered about
70 international participants and has featured 9 invited talks, 10 oral
presentations, and 14 posters on the following themes, all related to the
theory, application and generalization of the "sparsity paradigm":
Sparsity-driven data sensing and processing; Union of low dimensional
subspaces; Beyond linear and convex inverse problem; Matrix/manifold/graph
sensing/processing; Blind inverse problems and dictionary learning; Sparsity
and computational neuroscience; Information theory, geometry and randomness;
Complexity/accuracy tradeoffs in numerical methods; Sparsity? What's next?;

Performance Analysis of l_0 Norm Constraint Least Mean Square Algorithm
As one of the recently proposed algorithms for sparse system identification,
norm constraint Least Mean Square (-LMS) algorithm modifies the cost
function of the traditional method with a penalty of tap-weight sparsity. The
performance of -LMS is quite attractive compared with its various
precursors. However, there has been no detailed study of its performance. This
paper presents all-around and throughout theoretical performance analysis of
-LMS for white Gaussian input data based on some reasonable assumptions.
Expressions for steady-state mean square deviation (MSD) are derived and
discussed with respect to algorithm parameters and system sparsity. The
parameter selection rule is established for achieving the best performance.
Approximated with Taylor series, the instantaneous behavior is also derived. In
addition, the relationship between -LMS and some previous arts and the
sufficient conditions for -LMS to accelerate convergence are set up.
Finally, all of the theoretical results are compared with simulations and are
shown to agree well in a large range of parameter setting.Comment: 31 pages, 8 figure
Exploiting Prior Knowledge in Compressed Sensing Wireless ECG Systems
Recent results in telecardiology show that compressed sensing (CS) is a
promising tool to lower energy consumption in wireless body area networks for
electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring. However, the performance of current
CS-based algorithms, in terms of compression rate and reconstruction quality of
the ECG, still falls short of the performance attained by state-of-the-art
wavelet based algorithms. In this paper, we propose to exploit the structure of
the wavelet representation of the ECG signal to boost the performance of
CS-based methods for compression and reconstruction of ECG signals. More
precisely, we incorporate prior information about the wavelet dependencies
across scales into the reconstruction algorithms and exploit the high fraction
of common support of the wavelet coefficients of consecutive ECG segments.
Experimental results utilizing the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database show that
significant performance gains, in terms of compression rate and reconstruction
quality, can be obtained by the proposed algorithms compared to current
CS-based methods.Comment: Accepted for publication at IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health

On data-selective learning
Adaptive filters are applied in several electronic and communication devices like smartphones, advanced headphones, DSP chips, smart antenna, and teleconference systems. Also, they have application in many areas such as system identification, channel equalization, noise reduction, echo cancellation, interference cancellation, signal prediction, and stock market. Therefore, reducing the energy consumption of the adaptive filtering algorithms has great importance, particularly in green technologies and in devices using battery. In this thesis, data-selective adaptive filters, in particular the set-membership (SM) adaptive filters, are the tools to reach the goal. There are well known SM adaptive filters in literature. This work introduces new algorithms based on the classical ones in order to improve their performances and reduce the number of required arithmetic operations at the same time. Therefore, firstly, we analyze the robustness of the classical SM adaptive filtering algorithms. Secondly, we extend the SM technique to trinion and quaternion systems. Thirdly, by combining SM filtering and partialupdating, we introduce a new improved set-membership affine projection algorithm with constrained step size to improve its stability behavior. Fourthly, we propose some new least-mean-square (LMS) based and recursive least-squares based adaptive filtering algorithms with low computational complexity for sparse systems. Finally, we derive some feature LMS algorithms to exploit the hidden sparsity in the parameters.Filtros adaptativos são aplicados em diversos aparelhos eletrônicos e de comunicação, como smartphones, fone de ouvido avançados, DSP chips, antenas inteligentes e sistemas de teleconferência. Eles também têm aplicação em várias áreas como identificação de sistemas, equalização de canal, cancelamento de eco, cancelamento de interferência, previsão de sinal e mercado de ações. Desse modo, reduzir o consumo de energia de algoritmos adaptativos tem importância significativa, especialmente em tecnologias verdes e aparelhos que usam bateria. Nesta tese, filtros adaptativos com seleção de dados, em particular filtros adaptativos da famÃlia set-membership (SM), são apresentados para cumprir essa missão. No presente trabalho objetivamos apresentar novos algoritmos, baseados nos clássicos, a fim de aperfeiçoar seus desempenhos e, ao mesmo tempo, reduzir o número de operações aritméticas exigidas. Dessa forma, primeiro analisamos a robustez dos filtros adaptativos SM clássicos. Segundo, estendemos o SM aos números trinions e quaternions. Terceiro, foram utilizadas também duas famÃlias de algoritmos, SM filtering e partial-updating, de uma maneira elegante, visando reduzir energia ao máximo possÃvel e obter um desempenho competitivo em termos de estabilidade. Quarto, a tese propõe novos filtros adaptativos baseado em algoritmos least-mean-square (LMS) e mÃnimos quadrados recursivos com complexidade computacional baixa para espaços esparsos. Finalmente, derivamos alguns algoritmos feature LMS para explorar a esparsidade escondida nos parâmetros
Study of L0-norm constraint normalized subband adaptive filtering algorithm
Limited by fixed step-size and sparsity penalty factor, the conventional
sparsity-aware normalized subband adaptive filtering (NSAF) type algorithms
suffer from trade-off requirements of high filtering accurateness and quicker
convergence behavior. To deal with this problem, this paper proposes variable
step-size L0-norm constraint NSAF algorithms (VSS-L0-NSAFs) for sparse system
identification. We first analyze mean-square-deviation (MSD) statistics
behavior of the L0-NSAF algorithm innovatively in according to a novel
recursion form and arrive at corresponding expressions for the cases that
background noise variance is available and unavailable, where correlation
degree of system input is indicated by scaling parameter r. Based on
derivations, we develop an effective variable step-size scheme through
minimizing the upper bounds of the MSD under some reasonable assumptions and
lemma. To realize performance improvement, an effective reset strategy is
incorporated into presented algorithms to tackle with non-stationary
situations. Finally, numerical simulations corroborate that the proposed
algorithms achieve better performance in terms of estimation accurateness and
tracking capability in comparison with existing related algorithms in sparse
system identification and adaptive echo cancellation circumstances.Comment: 15 pages,15 figure
