Info-Greedy sequential adaptive compressed sensing
We present an information-theoretic framework for sequential adaptive
compressed sensing, Info-Greedy Sensing, where measurements are chosen to
maximize the extracted information conditioned on the previous measurements. We
show that the widely used bisection approach is Info-Greedy for a family of
-sparse signals by connecting compressed sensing and blackbox complexity of
sequential query algorithms, and present Info-Greedy algorithms for Gaussian
and Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) signals, as well as ways to design sparse
Info-Greedy measurements. Numerical examples demonstrate the good performance
of the proposed algorithms using simulated and real data: Info-Greedy Sensing
shows significant improvement over random projection for signals with sparse
and low-rank covariance matrices, and adaptivity brings robustness when there
is a mismatch between the assumed and the true distributions.Comment: Preliminary results presented at Allerton Conference 2014. To appear

Machine Learning in Wireless Sensor Networks: Algorithms, Strategies, and Applications
Wireless sensor networks monitor dynamic environments that change rapidly
over time. This dynamic behavior is either caused by external factors or
initiated by the system designers themselves. To adapt to such conditions,
sensor networks often adopt machine learning techniques to eliminate the need
for unnecessary redesign. Machine learning also inspires many practical
solutions that maximize resource utilization and prolong the lifespan of the
network. In this paper, we present an extensive literature review over the
period 2002-2013 of machine learning methods that were used to address common
issues in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The advantages and disadvantages of
each proposed algorithm are evaluated against the corresponding problem. We
also provide a comparative guide to aid WSN designers in developing suitable
machine learning solutions for their specific application challenges.Comment: Accepted for publication in IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorial
Adaptive-Rate Compressive Sensing Using Side Information
We provide two novel adaptive-rate compressive sensing (CS) strategies for
sparse, time-varying signals using side information. Our first method utilizes
extra cross-validation measurements, and the second one exploits extra
low-resolution measurements. Unlike the majority of current CS techniques, we
do not assume that we know an upper bound on the number of significant
coefficients that comprise the images in the video sequence. Instead, we use
the side information to predict the number of significant coefficients in the
signal at the next time instant. For each image in the video sequence, our
techniques specify a fixed number of spatially-multiplexed CS measurements to
acquire, and adjust this quantity from image to image. Our strategies are
developed in the specific context of background subtraction for surveillance
video, and we experimentally validate the proposed methods on real video
sequences
Proceedings of the second "international Traveling Workshop on Interactions between Sparse models and Technology" (iTWIST'14)
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?;
Sparse machine learning and inference.Comment: 69 pages, 24 extended abstracts, iTWIST'14 website:
