一种放射CT重建的鲁棒估计算法

放射CT的重建问题可以归结为一种基于泊松分布的最大似然估计（MuxnimumLikelihood,ML），其中最著名的如EM算法[1]，这种算法存在的问题是鲁棒性不强，当观测数据中存在一些出格点（outlier）（如2％）时，EM算法的性能就变得很差。本文分析了算法性能变差的原因，将泊松分布近似为高斯分布后，仿照鲁律估计中的M-估计，构造了一种鲁棒性很强的EM改进算法。实验结果表明，即使在投影数据中混有10％的出格点，仍能重建出满意的结果来。     

改进的FD—TD法分析二维理想导体TM近区散射问题

本文针对一般ＦＤ－ＴＤ方法分析计算二维理想导体散射问题所遇到散射体边角处难以精确处理的缺点进行了改进。将边角处总场近似解析解直接引入ＦＤ－ＴＤ法差分公式，得到了有关修正系数，为了检验此方法的有效性，有无限长导体方柱为例分别用一般ＦＤ－ＴＤ法和本文的ＦＤ－ＴＤ方法进行了分析研究，并与ＭＯＭ法进行了比较，所得结果说明改进后的ＦＤ－ＴＤ方法对分析计算导体边角附近电流分布特性是较有效的。

Aligning Text and Phonemes for Speech Technology Applications Using an EM-Like Algorithm

A common requirement in speech technology is to align two different symbolic representations of the same linguistic ‘message’. For instance, we often need to align letters of words listed in a dictionary with the corresponding phonemes specifying their pronunciation. As dictionaries become ever bigger, manual alignment becomes less and less tenable yet automatic alignment is a hard problem for a language like English. In this paper, we describe the use of a form of the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm to learn alignments of English text and phonemes, starting from a variety of initializations. We use the British English Example Pronunciation (BEEP) dictionary of almost 200,000 words in this work. The quality of alignment is difficult to determine quantitatively since no ‘gold standard’ correct alignment exists. We evaluate the success of our algorithm indirectly from the performance of a pronunciation by analogy system using the aligned dictionary data as a knowledge base for inferring pronunciations. We find excellent performance—the best so far reported in the literature. There is very little dependence on the start point for alignment, indicating that the EM search space is strongly convex. Since the aligned BEEP dictionary is a potentially valuable resource, it is made freely available for research use.     

Efficient computational method for transient EM response of large-loop source over layered earth

Calculations of the ElectroMagnetic （EM） response produced by a large horizontal loop placed over layered medium are rather complex because its integral expression contains the product of two Bessel functions and has a divergent term. In this paper, an improved fast Hankel and Gaver-Stehfest transforms are introduced to solve the strong-oscillation and slow-decay properties of the integrand, where one Bessel function in the product is substituted by a carefully chosen polynomial of high accuracy and the other used as the digital filter coefficients in the convolution integral. Comparisons prove the validity and the efficiency of the proposed method.

A Low‐Cost Method to Evaluate Absorber Reflectivity Using an Antenna with a Small Radiating Aperture and Frequency‐Domain Instrument

We propose a way to measure the absorber reflectivity at a low cost. Only one simple antenna with a small radiating aperture and a frequency‐domain instrument are utilized. The previously used equation for calculating the reflectivity of an absorber is inaccurate, and, therefore, a new equation is derived based on multiple reflection analysis and three test models. Notably, the reflection coefficient of the antenna is included in the derived equation. The accuracy of the proposed method is proven through simulation and measurements. It can be easily applied to a product examination by absorber manufacturers and customers owing to its advantages of simplicity, cost effectiveness, and non‐cutting examination.     

Composite Likelihood Inference in a Discrete Latent Variable Model for Two-Way “Clustering-by-Segmentation” Problems

We consider a discrete latent variable model for two-way data arrays, which allows one to simultaneously produce clusters along one of the data dimensions (e.g., exchangeable observational units or features) and contiguous groups, or segments, along the other (e.g., consecutively ordered times or locations). The model relies on a hidden Markov structure but, given its complexity, cannot be estimated by full maximum likelihood. Therefore, we introduce a composite likelihood methodology based on considering different subsets of the data. The proposed approach is illustrated by simulation, and with an application to genomic data.
