Six runs were submitted for the Adaptive Filtering track, four on the adaptive filtering task (ok11af??), and two on the routing task (msPUM?). The adaptive filtering system has been somewhat modified from the one used for TREC–10, largely for efficiency and flexibility reasons; the basic filtering algorithms remain similar to those used in recent TRECs. For the routing task, a completely new s...

Adaptive filtering has traditionally been developed based on the minimum mean square error (MMSE) principle and has found ever-increasing applications in communications. The paper develops adaptive filtering based on an alternative minimum bit error rate (MBER) criterion for communication applications. It is shown that the MBER filtering exploits the non-Gaussian distribution of filter output e...

Adaptive digital filtering has traditionally been developed based on the minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion and has found ever-increasing applications in communications. This paper presents an alternative adaptive filtering design based on the minimum symbol error rate (MSER) criterion for communication applications. It is shown that the MSER filtering is smarter, as it exploits the non...

We present an estimation-based approach to the design of adaptive IIR filters. We also use this approach to design adaptive filters when a feedback signal from the output of the adaptive filter contaminates the reference signal. We use an H, criterion to cast the problem as a nonlinear H, filtering problem, and present an approximate linear H, filtering solution. This linear filtering solution ...

Sayed and Kailath demonstrated the feasibility of directly deriving many known adaptive filtering algorithms in square-root forms by a proper reformulation of the original adaptive problem into a state-space form. This work employs this state-space form to develop adaptive interpolation and smoothing algorithms. In particular, a systematic and concise derivation of the QR-decomposition least-sq...

periodic noises are unwished and spurious signals that create repetitive pattern on images and decreased the visual quality. firstly, this paper investigates various methods for reducing the effects of the periodic noise in digital images. then an adaptive optimum notch filter is proposed. in the proposed method, the regions of noise frequencies are determined by analyzing the spectral of noisy...

Apart from a short description of our Query Track contribution, this report is concerned with the Adaptive Filtering track only. There is a separate report in this volume [1] on the Microsoft Research Cambridge participation in QA track. A number of runs were submitted for the Adaptive Filtering track, on all tasks (adaptive filtering, batch filtering and routing; three separate query sets; two...

Abstract This paper presents a new robust adaptive filtering method for SINS/SAR (Strap-down Inertial Navigation System / Synthetic Aperture Radar) integrated navigation system. This method adopts the principle of robust estimation to adaptive filtering of observational data. A robust adaptive filter is developed to adaptively determine the covariance matrix of observation noise, and adaptively...
