The Particle Filtering Methodology in Signal Processing

Abstract:

Particle filtering is a Monte Carlo-based methodology for sequential signal processing. It is designed for estimation of hidden processes that are dynamic and that can exhibit most severe nonlinearities. Also, it can be applied with equal ease to problems that involve any type of probability distributions. Therefore, it is not surprising that particle filtering has gained immense popularity. In this talk, first, the basics of particle filtering will be provided with description of its essential steps. Then some important topics of the theory will be addressed including Rao-Blackwellization, smoothing, and estimation of constant parameters.  Finally, a presentation of most recent advances in the theory will be given. The talk will contain signal processing examples which will aid in gaining valuable insights about the methodology.

The Model Selection Problem in Signal Processing

Abstract:

The model selection problem is one of the most important problems in science and engineering. Given a set of models and data that are generated by one of the considered models, a general objective is to choose the correct model. Model selection in signal processing is frequently encountered. Typical examples include selection of the number of sinusoids in communication signals or the number of present metabolites in data obtained in magnetic resonance spectroscopy or selecting the model order of an ARMA process. In this talk, first a brief review of various approaches for model selection will be given, and then more recent developments in the theory of model selection will be provided. The latter will include methodologies for selecting complex models where Monte Carlo sampling methods are employed.
