Robust Biophysical Parameter Estimation with a Neural Network Enhanced Hamiltonian Markov Chain Monte Carlo Sampler

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Gabriel Girard, Jonathan Rafael Patino Lopez, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Marco Pizzolato, Thomas Yu

Probabilistic parameter estimation in model fitting runs the gamut from maximum likelihood or maximum a posteriori point estimates from optimization to Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling. The latter, while more computationally intensive, generally pr ...

On flow duration curve modelling in Alpine catchments

Ana Clara Pereira Barbosa Santos

Mountain regions are considered to be the natural "water towers" of the world due to their importance as sources of many rivers. Reliable tools to estimate the availability and variability of streamflows in such regions are still rare. In this context, the ...

Robust Adaptive Decision Making: Bayesian Optimization and Beyond

Ilija Bogunovic

The central task in many interactive machine learning systems can be formalized as the sequential optimization of a black-box function. Bayesian optimization (BO) is a powerful model-based framework for \emph{adaptive} experimentation, where the primary go ...

Robust T2 Relaxometry with Hamiltonian MCMC for Myelin Water Fraction Estimation

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Marco Pizzolato, Thomas Yu

We present a voxel-wise Bayesian multi-compartment T2 relaxometry fitting method based on Hamiltonian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (HMCMC) sampling. The T 2 spectrum is modeled as a mixture of truncated Gaussian components, which involves the estimation of par ...

Unsupervised algorithm for disaggregating low-sampling-rate electricity consumption of households

Christophe Ballif, Lionel Benjamin Bloch, Nicolas Würsch, Jordan Holweger, Marina Dorokhova

Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) has been extensively researched over the last decade. The objective of NILM is to identify the power consumption of individual appliances and to detect when particular devices are on or off from measuring the power cons ...

End-to-End Acoustic Modeling using Convolutional Neural Networks for HMM-based Automatic Speech Recognition

Mathew Magimai Doss, Dimitri Palaz, Ronan Collobert

In hidden Markov model (HMM) based automatic speech recognition (ASR) system, modeling the statistical relationship between the acoustic speech signal and the HMM states that represent linguistically motivated subword units such as phonemes is a crucial st ...

Efficient Learning from Comparisons

Lucas Maystre

Humans are comparison machines: comparing and choosing an item among a set of alternatives (such as objects or concepts) is arguably one of the most natural ways for us to express our preferences and opinions. In many applications, the analysis of data con ...

Multigrid Methods Combined With Low-Rank Approximation For Tensor-Structured Markov Chains

Daniel Kressner, Francisco Santos Paredes Quartin de Macedo

Markov chains that describe interacting subsystems suffer from state space explosion but lead to highly structured matrices. In this work, we propose a novel tensor-based algorithm to address such tensor-structured Markov chains. Our algorithm combines a t ...

Low-rank tensor methods for large Markov chains and forward feature selection methods

Francisco Santos Paredes Quartin de Macedo

In the first part of this thesis, we present and compare several approaches for the determination of the steady-state of large-scale Markov chains with an underlying low-rank tensor structure. Such structure is, in our context of interest, associated with ...
