In this paper, we propose a linear representation of BCJR maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) decoding of a rate 1/2 convolutional code (CC), referred to as the linear MAP decoding (LMAP). We discover that the MAP forward and backward…

Many imaging problems require solving an inverse problem that is ill-conditioned or ill-posed. Imaging methods typically address this difficulty by regularising the estimation problem to make it well-posed. This often requires setting the…
There are many practical applications based on the Least Square Error (LSE) approximation. It is based on a square error minimization 'on a vertical' axis. The LSE method is simple and easy also for analytical purposes. However, if data…

LLM ensembles are widely used for LLM judges. However, how to estimate their accuracy, especially in an efficient way, is unknown. In this paper, we present a principled maximum a posteriori (MAP) framework for an economical and precise…
Sparse coding refers to the pursuit of the sparsest representation of a signal in a typically overcomplete dictionary. From a Bayesian perspective, sparse coding provides a Maximum a Posteriori (MAP) estimate of the unknown vector under a…
