Adaptive Variational Particle Filtering in Non-stationary Environments
Mahdi Azarafrooz
Online convex optimization is a sequential prediction framework with the goal to track and adapt to the environment through evaluating proper convex loss functions. We study effici…
Doubly Stochastic Adversarial Autoencoder
Mahdi Azarafrooz
Any autoencoder network can be turned into a generative model by imposing an arbitrary prior distribution on its hidden code vector. Variational Autoencoder (VAE) [2] uses a KL div…
On the Information Theoretic Distance Measures and Bidirectional Helmholtz Machines
Mahdi Azarafrooz, Xuan Zhao, Sepehr Akhavan-Masouleh
By establishing a connection between bi-directional Helmholtz machines and information theory, we propose a generalized Helmholtz machine. Theoretical and experimental results show…
Complexity Analysis of CSMA Scheduling via Dependencies Matrix
Mahdi Azarafrooz, R. Chandramouli
The complexity of a CSMA algorithm has been translated to the norm properties of a dependencies matrix. The maximum throughput optimization is reformulated by including the depende…
