Distributed Adaptive Learning of Graph Signals
The aim of this paper is to propose distributed strategies for adaptive
learning of signals defined over graphs. Assuming the graph signal to be
bandlimited, the method enables distributed reconstruction, with guaranteed
performance in terms of mean-square error, and tracking from a limited number
of sampled observations taken from a subset of vertices. A detailed mean square
analysis is carried out and illustrates the role played by the sampling
strategy on the performance of the proposed method. Finally, some useful
strategies for distributed selection of the sampling set are provided. Several
numerical results validate our theoretical findings, and illustrate the
performance of the proposed method for distributed adaptive learning of signals
defined over graphs.Comment: To appear in IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, 201
Diffusion Adaptation Strategies for Distributed Estimation over Gaussian Markov Random Fields
The aim of this paper is to propose diffusion strategies for distributed
estimation over adaptive networks, assuming the presence of spatially
correlated measurements distributed according to a Gaussian Markov random field
(GMRF) model. The proposed methods incorporate prior information about the
statistical dependency among observations, while at the same time processing
data in real-time and in a fully decentralized manner. A detailed mean-square
analysis is carried out in order to prove stability and evaluate the
steady-state performance of the proposed strategies. Finally, we also
illustrate how the proposed techniques can be easily extended in order to
incorporate thresholding operators for sparsity recovery applications.
Numerical results show the potential advantages of using such techniques for
distributed learning in adaptive networks deployed over GMRF.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing. arXiv admin

Semi-Supervised Sound Source Localization Based on Manifold Regularization
Conventional speaker localization algorithms, based merely on the received
microphone signals, are often sensitive to adverse conditions, such as: high
reverberation or low signal to noise ratio (SNR). In some scenarios, e.g. in
meeting rooms or cars, it can be assumed that the source position is confined
to a predefined area, and the acoustic parameters of the environment are
approximately fixed. Such scenarios give rise to the assumption that the
acoustic samples from the region of interest have a distinct geometrical
structure. In this paper, we show that the high dimensional acoustic samples
indeed lie on a low dimensional manifold and can be embedded into a low
dimensional space. Motivated by this result, we propose a semi-supervised
source localization algorithm which recovers the inverse mapping between the
acoustic samples and their corresponding locations. The idea is to use an
optimization framework based on manifold regularization, that involves
smoothness constraints of possible solutions with respect to the manifold. The
proposed algorithm, termed Manifold Regularization for Localization (MRL), is
implemented in an adaptive manner. The initialization is conducted with only
few labelled samples attached with their respective source locations, and then
the system is gradually adapted as new unlabelled samples (with unknown source
locations) are received. Experimental results show superior localization
performance when compared with a recently presented algorithm based on a
manifold learning approach and with the generalized cross-correlation (GCC)
algorithm as a baseline
Adaptive Graph Signal Processing: Algorithms and Optimal Sampling Strategies
The goal of this paper is to propose novel strategies for adaptive learning
of signals defined over graphs, which are observed over a (randomly
time-varying) subset of vertices. We recast two classical adaptive algorithms
in the graph signal processing framework, namely, the least mean squares (LMS)
and the recursive least squares (RLS) adaptive estimation strategies. For both
methods, a detailed mean-square analysis illustrates the effect of random
sampling on the adaptive reconstruction capability and the steady-state
performance. Then, several probabilistic sampling strategies are proposed to
design the sampling probability at each node in the graph, with the aim of
optimizing the tradeoff between steady-state performance, graph sampling rate,
and convergence rate of the adaptive algorithms. Finally, a distributed RLS
strategy is derived and is shown to be convergent to its centralized
counterpart. Numerical simulations carried out over both synthetic and real
data illustrate the good performance of the proposed sampling and
reconstruction strategies for (possibly distributed) adaptive learning of
signals defined over graphs.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, September 201
Adaptation and learning over networks for nonlinear system modeling
In this chapter, we analyze nonlinear filtering problems in distributed
environments, e.g., sensor networks or peer-to-peer protocols. In these
scenarios, the agents in the environment receive measurements in a streaming
fashion, and they are required to estimate a common (nonlinear) model by
alternating local computations and communications with their neighbors. We
focus on the important distinction between single-task problems, where the
underlying model is common to all agents, and multitask problems, where each
agent might converge to a different model due to, e.g., spatial dependencies or
other factors. Currently, most of the literature on distributed learning in the
nonlinear case has focused on the single-task case, which may be a strong
limitation in real-world scenarios. After introducing the problem and reviewing
the existing approaches, we describe a simple kernel-based algorithm tailored
for the multitask case. We evaluate the proposal on a simulated benchmark task,
and we conclude by detailing currently open problems and lines of research.Comment: To be published as a chapter in `Adaptive Learning Methods for
