Bandwidth estimation and congestion control for real-time communications (i.e., audio video conferencing) remains a difficult problem, despite many years of research. Achieving high quality experience (QoE) end users requires continual updates due to changing network architectures technologies. In this paper, we apply reinforcement learning the first time problem (RTC), where seek optimize user-perceived quality. We present initial proof-of-concept results, learn an agent sending rate in RTC...

Many wavefront reconstruction techniques estimate the amplitude and phase from multiple intensity measurements. One can generate diversity among these measurements by varying certain parameters in optical system. These are subject to noise disturbances, which might strongly degrade accuracy of reconstruction. In this paper we present use stochastic filtering system variables a multiple-image retrieval framework. An iterated extended Kalman filter is shown effectively reduce normalized...

Iterative amplitude and phase retrieval algorithms have been proven to accurately reconstruct arbitrary wavefronts from multiple intensity measurements when system parameters are known exactly, given the ability induce diversity between images.
