In this work, we provide non-asymptotic, probabilistic guarantees for successful recovery of the common nonzero support of jointly sparse Gaussian sources in the multiple measurement vector (MMV) problem. The support recovery problem is…
Photon losses are intrinsic for any translationally invariant optical imaging system with a non-trivial Point Spread Function, and the relation between the transmission factor and the coherence properties of an imaged object is universal --…
For accurate disease characterization using positron emission tomography (PET), it is desirable to image multiple radiotracers in a single scan. Conventional PET methods cannot do this due to the indistinguishable annihilation photons…
Fitting parameterized models to images of galaxies has become the standard for measuring galaxy morphology. This forward modelling technique allows one to account for the PSF to effectively study semi-resolved galaxies. However, using a…
We study the properties of variational Bayes approximations for exponential family models with missing values. It is shown that the iterative algorithm for obtaining the variational Bayesian estimator converges locally to the true value…
We construct uniform and point-wise asymptotic confidence sets for the single edge in an otherwise smooth image function which are based on rotated differences of two one-sided kernel estimators. Using methods from M-estimation, we show…
We investigate the minimal error in approximating a general probability measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ by the uniform measure on a finite set with prescribed cardinality $n$. The error is measured in the $p$-Wasserstein distance. In…
We present a framework for approximate Bayesian inference when only a limited number of noisy log-likelihood evaluations can be obtained due to computational constraints, which is becoming increasingly common for applications of complex…
We assume the direct sum <A> o <B> for the signal subspace. As a result of post- measurement, a number of operational contexts presuppose the a priori knowledge of the LB -dimensional "interfering" subspace <B> and the goal is to estimate…
We address the estimation problem of the separation of two arbitrarily close incoherent point sources from the quantum Bayesian point of view, i.e., when a prior probability distribution function (PDF) on the separation is available. For…
The matched filter (MF) represents one of the main tools to detect signals from known sources embedded in the noise. In the Gaussian case the noise is assumed to be the realization of a Gaussian random field (GRF). The most important…
Linear inverse problems $A \mu = \delta$ with Poisson noise and non-negative unknown $\mu \geq 0$ are ubiquitous in applications, for instance in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) in medical imaging. The associated maximum likelihood…
Multi-person pose estimation in the wild is challenging. Although state-of-the-art human detectors have demonstrated good performance, small errors in localization and recognition are inevitable. These errors can cause failures for a…
In this paper we compare and contrast the behavior of the posterior predictive distribution to the risk of the maximum a posteriori estimator for the random features regression model in the overparameterized regime. We will focus on the…
In this paper we propose a new sampling-free approach to solve Bayesian model inversion problems that is an extension of the previously proposed spectral likelihood expansions (SLE) method. Our approach, called stochastic spectral…
Point-source transient events (PSTEs) - optical events that are both extremely fast and extremely small - pose several challenges to an imaging system. Due to their speed, accurately characterizing such events often requires detectors with…
We present and implement two algorithms for analytic asymptotic evaluation of the marginal likelihood of data given a Bayesian network with hidden nodes. As shown by previous work, this evaluation is particularly hard for latent Bayesian…
Detection of templates (e.g., sources) embedded in low-number count Poisson noise is a common problem in astrophysics. Examples include source detection in X-ray images, gamma-rays, UV, neutrinos, and search for clusters of galaxies and…
