A subthreshold signal is transmitted through a channel and may be detected when some noise -- with known structure and proportional to some level -- is added to the data. There is an optimal noise level, called stochastic resonance, that…

Fitting probabilistic models to data is often difficult, due to the general intractability of the partition function and its derivatives. Here we propose a new parameter estimation technique that does not require computing an intractable…

We consider continuous-time sparse stochastic processes from which we have only a finite number of noisy/noiseless samples. Our goal is to estimate the noiseless samples (denoising) and the signal in-between (interpolation problem). By…
