In the field of information forensics, many emerging problems involve a critical step that estimates and tracks weak frequency components in noisy signals. It is often challenging for prior art tracking to i) achieve high accuracy under conditions, ii) detect track multiple efficiently, or iii) strike good trade-off processing delay versus resilience tracking. To address these issues, we propose Adaptive Multi-Trace Carving (AMTC), unified approach detecting one more subtle very low...

In observational studies, confounder separation and balancing are the fundamental problems of treatment effect estimation. Most previous methods focused on addressing problem by treating all observed pre-treatment variables as confounders, ignoring separation. general, not confounders that refer to common causes outcome, some only contribute (i.e., instrumental variables) outcome adjustment variables). Balancing those non-confounders, including variables, would generate additional bias for...

This paper presents a computational solution that enables continuous cardiac monitoring through cross-modality inference of electrocardiogram (ECG). While some smartwatches now allow users to obtain 30-second ECG test by tapping built-in bio-sensor, these short-term tests often miss intermittent and asymptomatic abnormalities functions. It is also infeasible expect persistently active user participation for long-term in order capture other types abnormalities. To alleviate the need attention...

We present a recurrent neural network (RNN) based speech bandwidth extension (BWE) method. The conventional Gaussian mixture model (GMM) BWE methods perform stably and effectively. However, GMM suffer from two fundamental competing problems: 1) inadequacy of in modeling the non-linear relationship between low frequency (LF) high (HF), 2) temporal correlations across frames are ignored, resulting spectral detail loss reconstructed by BWE. To cope these problems, RNN is employed to capture...
