MCMC al- gorithms are used to generate samples from an arbitrary probability density ir in computationally demanding situations, since their mixing times need not grow expo- nentially with the dimension of w. However, if w has many modes, MCMC algorithms may still have very long mixing times. It is therefore crucial to understand and reduce MCMC mixing times, and there is currently a need for global mixing time bounds as well as algorithms that mix quickly for multi-modal densities.

  • Lie Group Machine Learning on Statistical Drone Doppler & Kinematic Signatures
    December 3rd 2019 Souriau Symplectic Structures of Lie Group Machine Learning on Statistical Drone Doppler & Kinematic Signatures Frédéric BARBARESCO Key Technology Domain Processing, Control & Cognition KTD PCC « SENSING » Segment Leader ENS Ulm 1942 KTD PCC Representative for Thales Land & Air Systems www.thalesgroup.com OPEN Drone Detection, Tracking and Recognizing ▌ Drone Recognition The illegal use of drones requires development of systems capable of detecting, tracking and recognizing them in a non-collaborative manner, and this with sufficient anticipation to be able to engage interception means adapted to the threat. The small size of autonomous aircraft makes it difficult to detect them at long range with enough early warning with conventional techniques, and seems more suitable for observation by radar systems. However, the radio frequency detection of this type of object poses other difficulties to solve because of their slow speed which can make them confused with other mobile echoes such as those of land vehicles, birds and movements of vegetation agitated by atmospheric turbulences. It is therefore necessary to design robust classification methods of its echoes to ensure their discrimination with respect to criteria characterizing their movements (micro-movements of their moving parts and body kinematic movements). Applications of Geometric and Structure Preserving Methods OPEN 2 Cambridge University – Newton Institute, 03/12/19 Drone Recognition on Radar Doppler Signature of their moving parts ▌ Drone Radar Micro-Doppler Signature The first idea is to listen to the Doppler signature of the radar echo coming from the drone, which signs the radial velocity variations of the reflectance parts of the moving elements, like the blades.

He then held positions at St. Petersburg Electrotechnical University and the Institute the Journal of the American Mathematical Society. for Informatics and Automation of the Russian Academy The paper “Cluster Algebras I: Foundations” is a of Sciences. Starting in 1992, he worked in the United modern exemplar of how combinatorial imagination States, first at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and can influence mathematics at large. Cluster algebras are then, since 1999, at the University of Michigan. commutative rings, generated by a collection of elements Fomin’s main research interests lie in algebraic com- called cluster variables, grouped together into overlapping binatorics, including its interactions with various areas clusters.
