 Abstract—Mode division multiplexing (MDM) has the potential of increasing the capacity of optical fiber transmission system. However, primary impaired factor mode-dependent loss (MDL) poses fundamental performance limitations. Recently MIMO space time coding technique has provided a potential solution to mitigate the MDL and hence started receiving considerable interests. In this paper, ortho...

Statistics based inference methods like minimum message length (MML) and minimum description length (MDL), are widely applied approaches. They are the tools to use with particular machine learning praxis such as simulated annealing, genetic algorithms, genetic programming, artiicial neural networks, and the like. These methods select the hypothesis which minimizes the sum of the length of the d...

We study the application of Rissanen's Principle of Minimum Description Length (MDL) to the problem of wavelet denoising and compression for natural images. After making a connection between thresholding and model selection, we derive an MDL criterion based on a Laplacian model for noiseless wavelet coe cients. We nd that this approach leads to an adaptive thresholding rule. While achieving mea...

DNAX adaptor protein 12 (DAP12) is a trans-membrane adaptor molecule that transduces activating signals in NK and myeloid cells. Absence of functional Dap12 results in osteoclast defects and bone abnormalities. Because DAP12 has no extracelluar binding domains, it must pair with cell surface receptors for signal transduction. There are at least 15 known DAP12-associating cell surface receptors ...

This paper presents a decision tree pruning method for the model clustering of HMM-based parametric speech synthesis by cross-validation (CV) under the minimum generation error (MGE) criterion. Decision-tree-based model clustering is an important component in the training process of an HMM based speech synthesis system. Conventionally, the maximum likelihood (ML) criterion is employed to choose...

Using nebulization to deliver aminoglycosides may be of benefit in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients colonized by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. However, one problem with this route is the absence of clinical parameters allowing estimation of the mass of drug deposited in the lungs (MDL). The aim of this study was to assess whether aminoglycoside excretion in the urine reflects the MDL. Fourteen studies w...

Preface " Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future. " The Minimum Description Length (MDL) principle provides a powerful philosophy for learning from observations of the past [Grünwald et al., 2005; Ris-sanen, 1989]. It equates learning with compressing the observational data. As is common in science, there may be multiple contending explanations, or models, for the data. In th...

Research often illustrates the importance of digital transformation for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly during external disruptions. However, little attention has been devoted to how SMEs’ occurs. Employing a micro-foundations perspective, this study investigates effect managers’ literacy (MDL) on transformation. We test moderated mediation model using survey data from 1...

AbstructThe model selection problem for sinusoidal signals has often been addressed by employing the Akaike information criterion (AIC) and the minimum description length principle (MDL). The popularity of these criteria partly stems from the intrinsically simple means by which they can be implemented. They can, however, produce misleading results if they are not carefully used. The AIC and MDL...

Determining the number of sources in a received wave-field is a well known and a well investigated problem. In this problem, the number of sources impinging on an array of sensors is to be estimated. The common approach for solving this problem is to use an information theoretic criterion like the Minimum Description Length (MDL), or the Akaike Information Criterion. Under the assumption that t...
