  text: In this contribution, we address the estimation of the frequency-dependent
    elastic parameters of polymers in the ultrasound range, which is formulated as
    an inverse problem. This inverse problem is implemented as a nonlinear regression-type
    optimization problem, in which the simulation signals are fitted to the measurement
    signals. These signals consist of displacement responses in waveguides, focusing
    on hollow cylindrical geometries to enhance the simulation efficiency. To accelerate
    the optimization and reduce the number of model evaluations and wait times, we
    propose two novel methods. First, we introduce an adaptation of the Levenberg–Marquardt
    method derived from a geometrical interpretation of the least-squares optimization
    problem. Second, we introduce an improved objective function based on the autocorrelated
    envelopes of the measurement and simulation signals. Given that this study primarily
    relies on simulation data to quantify optimization convergence, we aggregate the
    expected ranges of realistic material parameters and derive their distributions
    to ensure the reproducibility of optimizations with proper measurements. We demonstrate
    the effectiveness of our objective function modification and step adaptation for
    various materials with isotropic material symmetry by comparing them with the
    Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno method. In all cases, our method reduces the
    total number of model evaluations, thereby shortening the time to identify the
    material parameters.

  text: "Due to the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in high-risk domains
    like law or medicine,\r\ntrustworthy AI and trust in AI are of increasing scientific
    and public relevance. A typical conception,\r\nfor example in the context of medical
    diagnosis, is that a knowledgeable user receives AIgenerated\r\nclassification
    as advice. Research to improve such interactions often aims to foster the\r\nuser’s
    trust, which in turn should improve the combined human-AI performance. Given that
    AI\r\nmodels can err, we argue that the possibility to critically review, thus
    to distrust, an AI decision is\r\nan equally interesting target of research.\r\nWe
    created two image classification scenarios in which the participants received
    mock-up\r\nAI advice. The quality of the advice decreases for a phase of the experiment.
    We studied the\r\ntask performance, trust and distrust of the participants, and
    tested whether an instruction to\r\nremain skeptical and review each piece of
    advice led to a better performance compared to a\r\nneutral condition. Our results
    indicate that this instruction does not improve but rather worsens\r\nthe participants’
    performance. Repeated single-item self-report of trust and distrust shows an\r\nincrease
    in trust and a decrease in distrust after the drop in the AI’s classification
    quality, with no\r\ndifference between the two instructions. Furthermore, via
    a Bayesian Signal Detection Theory\r\nanalysis, we provide a procedure to assess
    appropriate reliance in detail, by quantifying whether\r\nthe problems of under-
    and over-reliance have been mitigated. We discuss implications of our\r\nresults
    for the usage of disclaimers before interacting with AI, as prominently used in
    current\r\nLLM-based chatbots, and for trust and distrust research."

  text: In this contribution we derive the Maximum A-Posteriori (MAP) estimates of
    the parameters of a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) in the presence of noisy observations.
    We assume the distortion to be white Gaussian noise of known mean and variance.
    An approximate conjugate prior of the GMM parameters is derived allowing for a
    computationally efficient implementation in a sequential estimation framework.
    Simulations on artificially generated data demonstrate the superiority of the
    proposed method compared to the Maximum Likelihood technique and to the ordinary
    MAP approach, whose estimates are corrected by the known statistics of the distortion
    in a straightforward manner.

  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 novel noise power spectral density tracking algorithm
    and its use in single-channel speech enhancement. It has the unique feature that
    it is able to track the noise statistics even if speech is dominant in a given
    time-frequency bin. As a consequence it can follow non-stationary noise superposed
    by speech, even in the critical case of rising noise power. The algorithm requires
    an initial estimate of the power spectrum of speech and is thus meant to be used
    as a postprocessor to a first speech enhancement stage. An experimental comparison
    with a state-of-the-art noise tracking algorithm demonstrates lower estimation
    errors under low SNR conditions and smaller fluctuations of the estimated values,
    resulting in improved speech quality as measured by PESQ scores.

  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.
