Speech Tilte: A New Method for Building a Discrete Counterpart to a Continuous Random Variable Based on Minimization of a Distance Between Distribution Functions
Abstract: A novel procedure is introduced and described for constructing a discrete counterpart to a continuous probability distribution, which is based on the minimization of a statistical distance between cumulative distribution functions. The procedure, which leads to a closed-form expression of the resulting probability mass function for most parametric distributions, is compared to existing discretization techniques, also with reference to the exponential case. An application is also provided, related to the insurance field, which underlines the usefulness of constructing discrete counterparts.

Speech Tilte: A Nonlinear Framework of Layered Intelligence for Video-based Recognition
Abstract: Many algorithms for multidimensional signal processing were presented in the past decades although, video-based recognition of occluded faces is still a great challenge. This research presents a new approach to tackle this challenge, which can be summarized as a “five layer intelligence”. These five intelligence layers are respectively environments sensing, active learning, cognitive computing, intelligent decision making and automatic control/execution. The experimental results are very promising and also present a new approach for other real challenges in multidimensional signal processing.

Speech Title: Low- and Mid-frequency Electromagnetic Field Simulation Methods and Implementation Techniques
Abstract: Two kinds of formulations for low-frequency electromagnetic field computation will be introduced and reviewed first. Finite element programming techniques and implementation difficulties will be demonstrated, basis function and right hand side computation methods are emphasized to ensure the uniqueness and solvability of the discretized algebraic matrix equation. In the next, a new kind of dual formulations based on the magnetic vector potential A and the magnetic field intensity H for magnetostatic problems will be presented. This method is featuring the same coefficient matrix for both A and H formulation, and it can provide both the upper and lower limit of the system energy and hence it has a great advantage when computing the inductance parameters. In the last part, a new kind of mid-frequency electromagnetic field computational method is proposed by simultaneously considering the inductive and capacitive effects of the system. Numerical schemes are provided and the symmetric version of the discrete scheme is given. Numerical examples are illustrated for validating the proposed scheme, including computing the resonant frequency and a field-circuit coupled capacitor example. The numerical implementation with FreeFem++ is also demonstrated.
