  text: Application of prognostics and health management (PHM) in the field of Proton
    Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells is emerging as an important tool in increasing
    the reliability and availability of these systems. Though a lot of work is currently
    being conducted to develop PHM systems for fuel cells, various challenges have
    been encountered including the self-healing effect after characterization as well
    as accelerated degradation due to dynamic loading, all which make RUL predictions
    a difficult task. In this study, a prognostic approach based on adaptive particle
    filter algorithm is proposed. The novelty of the proposed method lies in the introduction
    of a self-healing factor after each characterization and the adaption of the degradation
    model parameters to fit to the changing degradation trend. An ensemble of five
    different state models based on weighted mean is then developed. The results show
    that the method is effective in estimating the remaining useful life of PEM fuel
    cells, with majority of the predictions falling within 5\% error. The method was
    employed in the IEEE 2014 PHM Data Challenge and led to our team emerging the
    winner of the RUL category of the challenge.

  text: Abstract In this paper we present an approach for synchronizing a wireless
    acoustic sensor network using a two-stage procedure. First the clock frequency
    and phase differences between pairs of nodes are estimated employing a two-way
    message exchange protocol. The estimates are further improved in a Kalman filter
    with a dedicated observation error model. In the second stage network-wide synchronization
    is achieved by means of a gossiping algorithm which estimates the average clock
    frequency and phase of the sensor nodes. These averages are viewed as frequency
    and phase of a virtual master clock, to which the clocks of the sensor nodes have
    to be adjusted. The amount of adjustment is computed in a specific control loop.
    While these steps are done in software, the actual sampling rate correction is
    carried out in hardware by using an adjustable frequency synthesizer. Experimental
    results obtained from hardware devices and software simulations of large scale
    networks are presented.

  text: In this paper, we consider the Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimation of the parameters
    of a GAUSSIAN in the presence of censored, i.e., clipped data. We show that the
    resulting Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm delivers virtually biasfree
    and efficient estimates, and we discuss its convergence properties. We also discuss
    optimal classification in the presence of censored data. Censored data are frequently
    encountered in wireless LAN positioning systems based on the fingerprinting method
    employing signal strength measurements, due to the limited sensitivity of the
    portable devices. Experiments both on simulated and real-world data demonstrate
    the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

  text: In this paper we present a speech presence probability (SPP) estimation algorithmwhich
    exploits both temporal and spectral correlations of speech. To this end, the SPP
    estimation is formulated as the posterior probability estimation of the states
    of a two-dimensional (2D) Hidden Markov Model (HMM). We derive an iterative algorithm
    to decode the 2D-HMM which is based on the turbo principle. The experimental results
    show that indeed the SPP estimates improve from iteration to iteration, and further
    clearly outperform another state-of-the-art SPP estimation algorithm.

  text: The steady supply of new optimization methods makes the algorithm selection
    problem (ASP) an increasingly pressing and challenging task, specially for real-world
    black-box optimization problems. The introduced approach considers the ASP as
    a cost-sensitive classification task which is based on Exploratory Landscape Analysis.
    Low-level features gathered by systematic sampling of the function on the feasible
    set are used to predict a well-performing algorithm out of a given portfolio.
    Example-specific label costs are defined by the expected runtime of each candidate
    algorithm. We use one-sided support vector regression to solve this learning problem.
    The approach is illustrated by means of the optimization problems and algorithms
    of the BBOB’09/10 workshop.

  text: In this paper we propose to employ directional statistics in a complex vector
    space to approach the problem of blind speech separation in the presence of spatially
    correlated noise. We interpret the values of the short time Fourier transform
    of the microphone signals to be draws from a mixture of complex Watson distributions,
    a probabilistic model which naturally accounts for spatial aliasing. The parameters
    of the density are related to the a priori source probabilities, the power of
    the sources and the transfer function ratios from sources to sensors. Estimation
    formulas are derived for these parameters by employing the Expectation Maximization
    (EM) algorithm. The E-step corresponds to the estimation of the source presence
    probabilities for each time-frequency bin, while the M-step leads to a maximum
    signal-to-noise ratio (MaxSNR) beamformer in the presence of uncertainty about
    the source activity. Experimental results are reported for an implementation in
    a generalized sidelobe canceller (GSC) like spatial beamforming configuration
    for 3 speech sources with significant coherent noise in reverberant environments,
    demonstrating the usefulness of the novel modeling framework.

  text: In this paper we present a novel vehicle tracking algorithm, which is based
    on multi-level sensor fusion of GPS (global positioning system) with Inertial
    Measurement Unit sensor data. It is shown that the robustness of the system to
    temporary dropouts of the GPS signal, which may occur due to limited visibility
    of satellites in narrow street canyons or tunnels, is greatly improved by sensor
    fusion. We further demonstrate how the observation and state noise covariances
    of the employed Kalman filters can be estimated alongside the filtering by an
    application of the Expectation-Maximization algorithm. The proposed time-variant
    multi-level Kalman filter is shown to outperform an Interacting Multiple Model
    approach while at the same time being computationally less demanding.

  text: In this paper we present a novel vehicle tracking method which is based on
    multi-stage Kalman filtering of GPS and IMU sensor data. After individual Kalman
    filtering of GPS and IMU measurements the estimates of the orientation of the
    vehicle are combined in an optimal manner to improve the robustness towards drift
    errors. The tracking algorithm incorporates the estimation of time-variant covariance
    parameters by using an iterative block Expectation-Maximization algorithm to account
    for time-variant driving conditions and measurement quality. The proposed system
    is compared to an interacting multiple model approach (IMM) and achieves improved
    localization accuracy at lower computational complexity. Furthermore we show how
    the joint parameter estimation and localizaiton can be conducted with streaming
    input data to be able to track vehicles in a real driving environment.

  text: In this paper, parameter estimation of a state-space model of noise or noisy
    speech cepstra is investigated. A blockwise EM algorithm is derived for the estimation
    of the state and observation noise covariance from noise-only input data. It is
    supposed to be used during the offline training mode of a speech recognizer. Further
    a sequential online EM algorithm is developed to adapt the observation noise covariance
    on noisy speech cepstra at its input. The estimated parameters are then used in
    model-based speech feature enhancement for noise-robust automatic speech recognition.
    Experiments on the AURORA4 database lead to improved recognition results with
    a linear state model compared to the assumption of stationary noise.

  text: Maximizing the output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a sensor array in the
    presence of spatially colored noise leads to a generalized eigenvalue problem.
    While this approach has extensively been employed in narrowband (antenna) array
    beamforming, it is typically not used for broadband (microphone) array beamforming
    due to the uncontrolled amount of speech distortion introduced by a narrowband
    SNR criterion. In this paper, we show how the distortion of the desired signal
    can be controlled by a single-channel post-filter, resulting in a performance
    comparable to the generalized minimum variance distortionless response beamformer,
    where arbitrary transfer functions relate the source and the microphones. Results
    are given both for directional and diffuse noise. A novel gradient ascent adaptation
    algorithm is presented, and its good convergence properties are experimentally
    revealed by comparison with alternatives from the literature. A key feature of
    the proposed beamformer is that it operates blindly, i.e., it neither requires
    knowledge about the array geometry nor an explicit estimation of the transfer
    functions from source to sensors or the direction-of-arrival.

  text: A marginalized particle filter is proposed for performing single channel speech
    enhancement with a non-linear dynamic state model. The system consists of a particle
    filter for tracking line spectral pair (LSP) parameters and a Kalman filter per
    particle for speech enhancement. The state model for the LSPs has been learnt
    on clean speech training data. In our approach parameters and speech samples are
    processed at different time scales by assuming the parameters to be constant for
    small blocks of data. Further enhancement is obtained by an iteration which can
    be applied on these small blocks. The experiments show that similar SNR gains
    are obtained as with the Kalman-LM-iterative algorithm. However better values
    of the noise level and the log-spectral distance are achieved

  text: For human-machine interfaces in distant-talking environments multichannel
    signal processing is often employed to obtain an enhanced signal for subsequent
    processing. In this paper we propose a novel adaptation algorithm for a filter-and-sum
    beamformer to adjust the coefficients of FIR filters to changing acoustic room
    impulses, e.g. due to speaker movement. A deterministic and a stochastic gradient
    ascent algorithm are derived from a constrained optimization problem, which iteratively
    estimates the eigenvector corresponding to the largest eigenvalue of the cross
    power spectral density of the microphone signals. The method does not require
    an explicit estimation of the speaker location. The experimental results show
    fast adaptation and excellent robustness of the proposed algorithm.

  text: The paper is concerned with binaural signal processing for a bimodal human-robot
    interface with hearing and vision. The two microphone signals are processed to
    obtain an enhanced single-channel input signal for the subsequent speech recognizer
    and to localize the acoustic source, an important information for establishing
    a natural human-robot communication. We utilize a robust adaptive algorithm for
    filter-and-sum beamforming (FSB) and extract speaker direction information from
    the resulting FIR filter coefficients. Further, particle filtering is applied
    which conducts a nonlinear Bayesian tracking of speaker movement. Good location
    accuracy can be achieved even in highly reverberant environments. The results
    obtained outperform the conventional generalized cross correlation (GCC) method.
