The Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm for mixture models often results in slow or invalid convergence. The popular convergence proof affirms that the likelihood increases with Q; Q is increasing in the M -step and non-decreasing in the E-step. The author found that (1) Q may and should decrease in some E-steps; (…

The Maximum Mutual Information (MMI) criterion is different from the Least Error Rate (LER) criterion. It can reduce failing to report small probability events. This paper introduces the Channels Matching (CM) algorithm for the MMI classifications of unseen instances. It also introduces some semantic information method…
Paper refutes EM convergence theory and introduces a new EM algorithm.
A group of transition probability functions form a Shannon's channel whereas a group of truth functions form a semantic channel. Label learning is to let semantic channels match Shannon's channels and label selection is to let Shannon's channels match semantic channels. The Channel Matching (CM) algorithm is provided f…
A group of transition probability functions form a Shannon's channel whereas a group of truth functions form a semantic channel. By the third kind of Bayes' theorem, we can directly convert a Shannon's channel into an optimized semantic channel. When a sample is not big enough, we can use a truth function with paramete…

Study on achiral Sol 3-manifolds with density results.
In a seminal paper published in , J. Simons proved that, for , the Euclidean (minimal) cone , built on a closed, oriented, minimal and non totally geodesic hypersurface of is unstable. In this paper, we extend Simons' analysis to {\em warped} (minimal) cones built over a close…
CTM improves diffusion model sampling quality with efficient ODE traversal.
A new approach for blind channel equalization and decoding, variational inference, and variational autoencoders (VAEs) in particular, is introduced. We first consider the reconstruction of uncoded data symbols transmitted over a noisy linear intersymbol interference (ISI) channel, with an unknown impulse response, with…

Enhances CMS with Bayesian nonparametrics for better low-frequency token estimation.
We propose a novel iterative channel estimation (ICE) algorithm that essentially removes the critical known noisy channel assumption for universal discrete denoising problem. Our algorithm is based on Neural DUDE (N-DUDE), a recently proposed neural network-based discrete denoiser, and it estimates the channel transiti…
Shows CM line bundles are ample on K-stable varieties.
This work addresses the {\em singularity formation} of complete non-compact solutions to the conformally flat Yamabe flow whose conformal factors have {\em cylindrical behavior at infinity}. Their singularity profiles happen to be {\em Yamabe solitons}, which are {\em self-similar solutions} to the fast diffusion equat…
ECM uses class means for efficient early exits in neural networks.
Proves minimization for Kähler manifolds with automorphisms.
The multiple fundamental frequency detection problem and the source separation problem from a single-channel signal containing multiple oscillatory components and a nonstationary noise are both challenging tasks. To extract the fetal electrocardiogram (ECG) from a single-lead maternal abdominal ECG, we face both challe…
New method for CMS derivatives pricing using Watanabe's expansions.
In this paper, we prove that any polarized K-stable manifold is CM-stable. This extends what I did for Fano manifolds in my 2012 paper.

We prove that the CM line bundle is ample on the proper moduli space which parametrizes KSBA stable varieties.
Latent Euclidean embedding models a given network by representing each node in a Euclidean space, where the probability of two nodes sharing an edge is a function of the distances between the nodes. This implies that for two nodes to share an edge with high probability, they must be relatively close in all dimensions. …
A new ML-based filter improves data assimilation for nonlinear systems.
The performance of a modulation classifier is highly sensitive to channel signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this paper, we focus on amplitude-phase modulations and propose a modulation classification framework based on centralized data fusion using multiple radios and the hybrid maximum likelihood (ML) approach. In order…

Study on positivity of CM line bundles on moduli space of klt good minimal models with κ=1.
In this paper, certain natural and elementary polygonal objects in Euclidean space, {\it the stable polygons}, are introduced, and the novel moduli spaces ${\bfmit M}_{{\bf r}, ε}$ of stable polygons are constructed as complex analytic spaces. Quite unexpectedly, these new moduli spaces are shown to be projective and i…
We develop the connection between equivariant completions of algebraic homogeneous spaces of reductive groups and lower bounds for the Mabuchi energy of a polarized manifold over the space of Bergman metrics. We provide a new definition of Tian's CM Polarization and discuss its properties.

Phase Modulation on the Hypersphere (PMH) is a power efficient modulation scheme for the \textit{load-modulated} multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmitters with central power amplifiers (CPA). However, it is difficult to obtain the precise channel state information (CSI), and the traditional optimal maximum lik…
HKF uses neural networks to adapt Kalman filters for dynamic channel tracking.
We identify the difference between the CM polarisation and the Chow polarisation on the ``Hilbert scheme''. As a consequence, we give a numerical criterion for the CM stability as in Mumfords' G.I.T.. Also, we write down an explicit formula for the generalised futaki invariant interms of weights and multiplicities of t…
The Chow-Mumford (CM) line bundle is a functorial line bundle on the base of any family of klt Fano varieties. It is conjectured that it yields a polarization on the moduli space of K-poly-stable klt Fano varieties. Proving ampleness of the CM line bundle boils down to showing semi-positivity/positivity statements abou…
We design iterative receiver schemes for a generic wireless communication system by treating channel estimation and information decoding as an inference problem in graphical models. We introduce a recently proposed inference framework that combines belief propagation (BP) and the mean field (MF) approximation and inclu…

Improved continuous-time consistency models for large-scale image generation.
The spoofing countermeasure (CM) systems in automatic speaker verification (ASV) are not typically used in isolation of each other. These systems can be combined, for example, into a cascaded system where CM produces first a decision whether the input is synthetic or bona fide speech. In case the CM decides it is a bon…
Voice conversion (VC) aims at conversion of speaker characteristic without altering content. Due to training data limitations and modeling imperfections, it is difficult to achieve believable speaker mimicry without introducing processing artifacts; performance assessment of VC, therefore, usually involves both speaker…
The Gaussian mixture model is a classic technique for clustering and data modeling that is used in numerous applications. With the rise of big data, there is a need for parameter estimation techniques that can handle streaming data and distribute the computation over several processors. While online variants of the Exp…
