AbstractThis research examines theoretical, algorithmic, and computational issues that arise in signal processing problems where there is a need to compute sparse solutions. There are numerous signal-processing applications where sparsity constraint on the solution vector naturally arises. Brain imaging techniques such as MEG and EEG, sparse communication channels with large delay spread, high-resolution spectral analysis, direction of arrival estimation and compressed sensing are a few examples. The generalization and extension of the sparse Bayesian learning (SBL) techniques considered in this research will broaden the application domain and provide a very powerful complement to the existing maximum a posteriori (MAP) methods commonly used and in some cases even surpass them.The investigators study extensions and generalizations of the sparse source recovery problem to greatly broaden the application domain. A key consideration in the work is developing a rigorous framework to deal with dependency in the sparsity framework. Motivated by applications with sparse but local structure, the research considers intra-vector dependency in the single measurement case, as well as intra-vector dependency as required in the multiple measurement contexts, among others. The research also includes the development of connections between multi-user communication theory and the sparse signal recovery problem to shed light on the stability with which sparse signal recovery is possible and to develop an understanding of the limits of suboptimal source recovery methods. To deal with non-stationary environments, the research develops on-line adaptive algorithms that exploit the inherent sparse structure of the application. The research also includes evaluation of the resulting algorithms in several important application domains.Level of Effort StatementAt the recommended level of support, the PI and co-PI will make every attempt to meet the original scope and level of effort of the project.

AbstractThis研究探讨了理论，算法和计算问题，出现在信号处理问题，有必要计算稀疏的解决方案。在许多信号处理应用中，解向量的稀疏性约束自然会出现。脑成像技术，如脑磁图和脑电图，具有大延迟扩展的稀疏通信信道，高分辨率频谱分析，到达方向估计和压缩传感是几个例子。稀疏贝叶斯学习（SBL）技术的推广和扩展将拓宽其应用领域，并对现有的最大后验概率（MAP）方法进行有力的补充，在某些情况下甚至超越MAP方法，研究稀疏源恢复问题的扩展和推广将大大拓宽其应用领域。工作中的一个关键考虑是开发一个严格的框架来处理稀疏框架中的依赖关系。受稀疏但局部结构的应用的启发，该研究考虑了单个测量情况下的向量内依赖性，以及多个测量环境中所需的向量内依赖性等。该研究还包括多用户通信理论和稀疏信号恢复问题之间的联系的发展，以阐明稀疏信号恢复的稳定性，并了解次优源恢复方法的局限性。为了处理非平稳环境，研究开发了在线自适应算法，利用固有的稀疏结构的应用程序。该研究还包括在几个重要的应用domines.Level的努力StatementAt建议的支持水平，PI和合作PI将尽一切努力，以满足原来的范围和水平的努力项目的算法的评估。
