IPapers from ICASSP 2005 1. L. Borup, M. Nielson, and R. Gribonval, "Nonlinear approximation with redundant dictionaries", ICASSP 2005. pp IV-261-IV-265. The paper talks about implementing a nonlinear method (redundant wavelets bi-frames) for retrieving and storing the data in a compact form. 2. Y. Cao and M. Ibnkahla, "Exact symbol error rate and total degradation performance of nonlinear M-QAM fading channels", ICASSP 2005, pp III-985 - III-988. The paper studies the nonlinear model for the fading channels most suitable for Satellite mobile communication. Based on the nonlinear distortion and the efficiency of power amplifiers, the system degradation parameters are optimized. But, the five systems studied do not behave the same over the same settings for this optimality. 3. M. Chen, D. Mandic, T. Gautama, and M. Hulle, "On nonlinear modular neural filters," ICASSP 2005, V-317 - V-320. Pipelined recurrent neural networks architecture is implemented based on the nonlinear predictor calculation on modular nested recurrent NNs. The nonlinear implementation helps in improving on the computational efficiency over the single network. The approach concludes that for the nonlinear system, PRNN approximates the nonlinearities much better than the other variants. 4. J. Jeraj and V. Mathews, "Identification of nonlinear, memoryless systems using Chebyshev nodes," ICASSP 2005, I-93 - I-96 The paper gives a approach in finding the nonlinearities from the input-output measurements using the minimax approximation. The algorithm finds the first estimate of output at the Chebyshev nodes using a localized linear representation and then steps ahead to solve the first moment. The system overcomes the influence of measurement errors on the nonlinearities. 5. F. Kuech, A. Mitnacht, W. Kellermann, "Nonlinear acoustic echo cancellation using adaptive orthogonalized power filters," ICASSP 2005, III-105 - III-108. The paper explains the implementation of nonlinear echo cancellation technique to over the nonlinear distortions caused by the combination of acoustic echo cancellation and the loudspeakers and their amplifiers. The speech signal is inheretantly non-stationary, but implementing a nonlinear acoustic echo cancellation technique on mobile communication receivers improves the quality. The paper presents the simulation results. 6. S. Goh and D. Mandic, "A class of gradient-adaptive step size algorithms for complex-valued nonlinear neural adaptive filters," ICASSP 2005, V-253 - V-256. Using an approach of gradient-adaptive step size algorithms for the nonlinear system, the signal can be tracked yielding lesser errors and faster response. The same system can be used for predicting a signal. 7. W. Leong, and J. Homer, "EKENS: A learning on nonlinear blindly mixed signals," ICASSP 2005, IV-81 - IV-84. The paper proposes a technique - EKENS - to perform source separation in nonlinear mixtures. EKENS does a good job related to mapping in nonlinear domain by adapting to the actual statistical distribution of the sources. The kernel density distribution at the output signal in a noisy environment is estimated to achieve nonlinear mapping. 8. W. Ling, Y. Ho, J. Reiss, and X. Yu, "Nonlinear behaviors of band pass sigma-delta modulators with stable system matrices,", ICASSP 2005, IV-73 - IV-76. Using state-space variables for representing the signals with rich frequency spectra is feasible. The approach can be used to above unwanted tones generated by the quantizers. Paper brings out the relationship between fractal patterns for periodic output sequence. 9. Y. Mahgoub and R. Dansereau, "Voicing-state classification of co-channel speech using nonlinear state-space reconstruction," ICASSP 2005, pp I-409 - I-412. Under the notion that the nonlinear state-space reconstruction would result in better classification of co-channel speech signal into unvoiced-voiced, unvoiced-unvoiced, and voiced-voiced. Even if the speech training data is not used, the approach excels the other methods - Bayesian and SAPVR methods. The applications sorted out are the areas in which the training data is not available. Usually, it is seen that the training data can make the system speaker- and environment- dependent. 10. A. Malipatil, Y. Huang, S. Andra, and K. Bennett, "Kernelized set-membership approach to nonlinear adaptive filtering," ICASSP 2005, pp IV-449 - IV-152. The approach is tested on equalization of nonlinear Inter-Symbol interference (ISI) channels and predistortion of nonlinear high power amplifiers to check suitability of the SM-nonlinear filtering. As the filter coefficients can be updated online. BER or SER (symbol error rate) performance for SM-NLMS is far superior as compared to SVMs and SM-BC algorithms. 11. G. Sicuranzo and A. Carini, "Nonlinear Multichannel active noise control using partial updates," ICASSP 2005, pp III-109 - III-112. The approach refers to reducing the computational complexity for modeling nonlinear multichannel active noise controllers. The affine projection adaption algorithm is modified to take advantage of truncated Volterra filters in an idea to achieve suitable partial update strategies. The end result is reduced computation.
