The paper considers a distributed algorithm for global minimization of a nonconvex function. The algorithm is a first-order consensus + innovations type algorithm that incorporates decaying additive Gaussian noise for annealing, converging…

This work studies the location estimation problem for a mixture of two rotation invariant log-concave densities. We demonstrate that Least Squares EM, a variant of the EM algorithm, converges to the true location parameter from a randomly…

We introduce an accurate and efficient method for a class of nonlocal potential evaluations with free boundary condition, including the 3D/2D Coulomb, 2D Poisson and 3D dipolar potentials. Our method is based on a Gaussian-sum approximation…

In this paper, we introduce a new algorithm to deal with the stalling effect in the LMS algorithm used in adaptive filters. We modify the update rule of the tap weight vectors by adding noise, generated by a noise generator. The properties…

Noise removal from images is a part of image restoration in which we try to reconstruct or recover an image that has been degraded by using apriori knowledge of the degradation phenomenon. Noises present in images can be of various types…

We study the Gibbs posterior distribution for sparse deep neural nets in a nonparametric regression setting. The posterior can be accessed via Metropolis-adjusted Langevin algorithms. Using a mixture over uniform priors on sparse sets of…

\kmeans clustering is a fundamental problem in many scientific and engineering domains. The optimization problem associated with \kmeans clustering is nonconvex, for which standard algorithms are only guaranteed to find a local optimum.…

With a Bayesian approach, the linear optics correction algorithm for storage rings is revisited. Starting from the Bayes' theorem, a complete linear optics model is simplified as "likelihood functions" and "prior probability distributions".…

Hard X-ray tomography with Paganin's widespread single-distance phase retrieval filter improves contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) while reducing spatial resolution (SR). We demonstrate that a Gaussian filter provided larger CNR at high SR with…

Metric based comparison operations such as finding maximum, nearest and farthest neighbor are fundamental to studying various clustering techniques such as $k$-center clustering and agglomerative hierarchical clustering. These techniques…

Wavelet shrinkage estimators are widely applied in several fields of science for denoising data in wavelet domain by reducing the magnitudes of empirical coefficients. In nonparametric regression problem, most of the shrinkage rules are…

In this paper, we propose two algorithms for solving linear inverse problems when the observations are corrupted by noise. A proper data fidelity term (log-likelihood) is introduced to reflect the statistics of the noise (e.g. Gaussian,…

The sensitivity of gravitational wave searches is reduced by the presence of non-Gaussian noise in the detector data. These non-Gaussianities often match well with the template waveforms used in matched filter searches, and require…

We propose a non-parametric anomaly detection algorithm for high dimensional data. We first rank scores derived from nearest neighbor graphs on $n$-point nominal training data. We then train limited complexity models to imitate these scores…

Particle filters for data assimilation in nonlinear problems use "particles" (replicas of the underlying system) to generate a sequence of probability density functions (pdfs) through a Bayesian process. This can be expensive because a…

In this work, we introduce a novel stochastic second-order method, within the framework of a non-monotone trust-region approach, for solving the unconstrained, nonlinear, and non-convex optimization problems arising in the training of deep…

This paper demonstrates how to recover causal graphs from the score of the data distribution in non-linear additive (Gaussian) noise models. Using score matching algorithms as a building block, we show how to design a new generation of…

Gaussian comparison theorems are useful tools in probability theory; they are essential ingredients in the classical proofs of many results in empirical processes and extreme value theory. More recently, they have been used extensively in…

A noise-based non-parametric technique for detecting nebulous objects, for example, irregular or clumpy galaxies, and their structure in noise is introduced. "Noise-based" and "non-parametric" imply that this technique imposes negligible…

Confocal microscopy is essential for histopathologic cell visualization and quantification. Despite its significant role in biology, fluorescence confocal microscopy suffers from the presence of inherent noise during image acquisition.…
