2. 1. Estimation of Nonlinear Dynamic Systems : Theory and Applications

   Author : Thomas B. Schön; Fredrik Gustafsson; Simon Godsill; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Nonlinear estimation; system identification; Kalman filter; particle filter; marginalized particle filter; expectation maximization; automotive applications; Automatic control; Reglerteknik;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with estimation of states and parameters in nonlinear and non-Gaussian dynamic systems. Sequential Monte Carlo methods are mainly used to this end. These methods rely on models of the underlying system, motivating some developments of the model concept. READ MORE

4. 2. Probabilistic Models for Species Tree Inference and Orthology Analysis

   Author : Ikram Ullah; Jens Lagergren; Arndt von Haeseler; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; phylogenetics; phylogenomics; gene tree; species tree; expectation maximization; mixture model; dynamic programming; markov chain monte carlo; PrIME; JPrIME; Computer Science; Datalogi;

   Abstract : A phylogenetic tree is used to model gene evolution and species evolution using molecular sequence data. For artifactual and biological reasons, a gene tree may differ from a species tree, a phenomenon known as gene tree-species tree incongruence. Assuming the presence of one or more evolutionary events, e.g. READ MORE

   Abstract : This thesis addresses a challenging problem: “how to let the visually impaired ‘see’ others emotions”. We, human beings, are heavily dependent on facial expressions to express ourselves. A smile shows that the person you are talking to is pleased, amused, relieved etc. READ MORE

7. 5. Channel Estimation and Self-Interference Suppression for MIMO Relaying Systems

   Author : Panagiota Lioliou; Chalmers University of Technology; []
   Keywords : estimation; expectation-maximization EM ; half-duplex; Bayesian; multiple-input multiple-output MIMO ; Cramer-Rao Bound CRB ; full-duplex; relays; performance analysis; Kalman filter KF ; self-interference.; Amplify-and-forward AF ; least squares LS ;

   Abstract : Recently, the introduction of relaying nodes in wireless channels has been identified as a promising technique for providing broader coverage, higher transmission rates, and increased reliability. Moreover, when the concept of relaying systems is combined with that of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology, thesystem performance can be further improved by exploiting the spatial dimension.
