Phase retrieval consists in the recovery of a complex-valued signal from intensity-only measurements. As it pervades a broad variety of applications, many researchers have striven to develop phase-retrieval algorithms. Classical approaches…

There is a common observation that audio event classification is easier to deal with than detection. So far, this observation has been accepted as a fact and we lack of a careful analysis. In this paper, we reason the rationale behind this…

Much of machine learning research focuses on predictive accuracy: given a task, create a machine learning model (or algorithm) that maximizes accuracy. In many settings, however, the final prediction or decision of a system is under the…

This thesis focuses on process mining on event data where such a normative specification is absent and, as a result, the event data is less structured. The thesis puts special emphasis on one application domain that fits this description:…
