In this paper, we considered the representation power of local overlapping histograms for discrete binary signals. We give an algorithm that is linear in signal size and factorial in window size for producing the set of signals, which share a sequenc...
In most of the existing multi-task learning (MTL) models, multiple tasks’ public information is learned by sharing parameters across hidden layers, such as hard sharing, soft sharing, and hierarchical sharing. One promising approach is to intro...
An enhanced affine projection algorithm (APA) is proposed to improve the filter performance in aspects of convergence rate and steady-state estimation error, since the adjustment of the input-vector number can be an effective way to increase the conv...

The Householder transformation, allowing a rewrite of probabilities into expectations of dichotomic observables, is generalized in terms of its spectral decomposition. The dichotomy is modulated by allowing more than one negative eigenvalue or by aba...

We present a coupled variational autoencoder (VAE) method, which improves the accuracy and robustness of the model representation of handwritten numeral images. The improvement is measured in both increasing the likelihood of the reconstructed images...
The entropy-based parameters determined from the electrodermal activity (EDA) biosignal evaluate the complexity within the activity of the sympathetic cholinergic system. We focused on the evaluation of the complex sympathetic cholinergic regulation...
By calculating the Kullback–Leibler divergence between two probability measures belonging to different exponential families dominated by the same measure, we obtain a formula that generalizes the ordinary Fenchel–Young divergence. Inspire...

We reconsider model II of Orban et al. (J. Chem. Phys. 1968, 49, 1778–1783), a two-dimensional lattice-gas system featuring a crystalline phase and two distinct fluid phases (liquid and vapor). In this system, a particle prevents other par...
An Active Queue Management (AQM) mechanism, recommended by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), increases the efficiency of network transmission. An example of this type of algorithm can be the Random Early Detection (RED) algorithm. The behav...
Previous measurements utilizing Maxwell relations to measure change in entropy, S, demonstrated remarkable accuracy in measuring the spin-1/2 entropy of electrons in a weakly coupled quantum dot. However, these previous measurements relied upon prior...

Recently, flow models parameterized by neural networks have been used to design efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) transition kernels. However, inefficient utilization of gradient information of the target distribution or the use of volume-pre...
Speaker recognition is an important classification task, which can be solved using several approaches. Although building a speaker recognition model on a closed set of speakers under neutral speaking conditions is a well-researched task and there are...
The authors wish to make the following correction to this paper [...]
The vulnerability of deep neural network (DNN)-based systems makes them susceptible to adversarial perturbation and may cause classification task failure. In this work, we propose an adversarial attack model using the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algo...
Cognitive radios represent a real alternative to the scarcity of the radio spectrum. One of the primary tasks of these radios is the detection of possible gaps in a given bandwidth used by licensed users (called also primary users). This task, called...
This paper elaborates on the interpretation of time and entanglement, offering insights into the possible ontological nature of information in the emergence of spacetime, towards a quantum description of gravity. We first investigate different perspe...
Characterizing the topology and random walk of a random network is difficult because the connections in the network are uncertain. We propose a class of the generalized weighted Koch network by replacing the triangles in the traditional Koch network...
The prediction of chaotic time series systems has remained a challenging problem in recent decades. A hybrid method using Hankel Alternative View Of Koopman (HAVOK) analysis and machine learning (HAVOK-ML) is developed to predict chaotic time series....
We consider an entropic distance analog quantity based on the density of the Gini index in the Lorenz map, i.e., gintropy. Such a quantity might be used for pairwise mapping and ranking between various countries and regions based on income and wealth...
An approach for the cryptographic security enhancement of encryption is proposed and analyzed. The enhancement is based on the employment of a coding scheme and degradation of the ciphertext. From the perspective of the legitimate parties that share...
Cell populations are often characterised by phenotypic heterogeneity in the form of two distinct subpopulations. We consider a model of tumour cells consisting of two subpopulations: non-cancer promoting (NCP) and cancer-promoting (CP). Under steady...
Differential privacy (DP) has become a de facto standard to achieve data privacy. However, the utility of DP solutions with the premise of privacy priority is often unacceptable in real-world applications. In this paper, we propose the best-effort di...
We consider the “partial information decomposition” (PID) problem, which aims to decompose the information that a set of source random variables provide about a target random variable into separate redundant, synergistic, union, and uniqu...
A data-driven prediction method is proposed to predict the soft fault and estimate the service life of a DC–DC-converter circuit. First, based on adaptive online non-bias least-square support-vector machine (AONBLSSVM) and the double-population...
Intuitively, the level of autonomy of an agent is related to the degree to which the agent’s goals and behaviour are decoupled from the immediate control by the environment. Here, we capitalise on a recent information-theoretic formulation of a...
Asymmetric behaviour has been documented in unemployment rates which increase quickly in recessions but decline relatively slowly during expansions. To model such asymmetric dynamics, this paper provides a rigorous derivation of the asymmetric mean-r...
In several applications, the assumption of normality is often violated in data with some level of skewness, so skewness affects the mean’s estimation. The class of skew–normal distributions is considered, given their flexibility for model...
With the development of Internet technology, short texts have gradually become the main medium for people to obtain information and communicate. Short text reduces the threshold of information production and reading by virtue of its short length, whi...
