It’s a long way to Monte-Carlo: probabilistic display in GPS navigation
We present a mobile, GPS-based multimodal navigation system, equipped with inertial control that allows users to explore and navigate through an augmented physical space, incorporating and displaying the uncertainty resulting from inaccurate sensing and unknown user intentions. The system propagates uncertainty appropriately via Monte Carlo sampling and predicts at a user-controllable time horizon. Control of the Monte Carlo exploration is entirely tilt-based. The system output is displayed both visually and in audio. Audio is rendered via granular synthesis to accurately display the probability of the user reaching targets in the space. We also demonstrate the use of uncertain prediction in a trajectory following task, where a section of music is modulated according to the changing predictions of user position with respect to the target trajectory. We show that appropriate display of the full distribution of potential future users positions with respect to sites-of-interest can improve the quality of interaction over a simplistic interpretation of the sensed data
Optical Music Recognition with Convolutional Sequence-to-Sequence Models
Optical Music Recognition (OMR) is an important technology within Music
Information Retrieval. Deep learning models show promising results on OMR
tasks, but symbol-level annotated data sets of sufficient size to train such
models are not available and difficult to develop. We present a deep learning
architecture called a Convolutional Sequence-to-Sequence model to both move
towards an end-to-end trainable OMR pipeline, and apply a learning process that
trains on full sentences of sheet music instead of individually labeled
symbols. The model is trained and evaluated on a human generated data set, with
various image augmentations based on real-world scenarios. This data set is the
first publicly available set in OMR research with sufficient size to train and
evaluate deep learning models. With the introduced augmentations a pitch
recognition accuracy of 81% and a duration accuracy of 94% is achieved,
resulting in a note level accuracy of 80%. Finally, the model is compared to
commercially available methods, showing a large improvements over these
applications.Comment: ISMIR 201

A review of RFI mitigation techniques in microwave radiometry
Radio frequency interference (RFI) is a well-known problem in microwave radiometry (MWR). Any undesired signal overlapping the MWR protected frequency bands introduces a bias in the measurements, which can corrupt the retrieved geophysical parameters. This paper presents a literature review of RFI detection and mitigation techniques for microwave radiometry from space. The reviewed techniques are divided between real aperture and aperture synthesis. A discussion and assessment of the application of RFI mitigation techniques is presented for each type of radiometer.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version
Off-The-Grid Spectral Compressed Sensing With Prior Information
Recent research in off-the-grid compressed sensing (CS) has demonstrated
that, under certain conditions, one can successfully recover a spectrally
sparse signal from a few time-domain samples even though the dictionary is
continuous. In this paper, we extend off-the-grid CS to applications where some
prior information about spectrally sparse signal is known. We specifically
consider cases where a few contributing frequencies or poles, but not their
amplitudes or phases, are known a priori. Our results show that equipping
off-the-grid CS with the known-poles algorithm can increase the probability of
recovering all the frequency components.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Super-resolution Line Spectrum Estimation with Block Priors
We address the problem of super-resolution line spectrum estimation of an
undersampled signal with block prior information. The component frequencies of
the signal are assumed to take arbitrary continuous values in known frequency
blocks. We formulate a general semidefinite program to recover these
continuous-valued frequencies using theories of positive trigonometric
polynomials. The proposed semidefinite program achieves super-resolution
frequency recovery by taking advantage of known structures of frequency blocks.
Numerical experiments show great performance enhancements using our method.Comment: 7 pages, double colum
