• Authors: Hugo Tremonte de Carvalho, Fl\'avio Rainho \'Avila, Luiz Wagner Pereira Biscainho
• Abstract summary: A common defect found when reproducing old vinyl and gramophone recordings with mechanical devices is the long pulses with significant low-frequency content. Previous approaches to their suppression on digital counterparts of the recordings depend on a prior estimation of the pulse location. This paper proposes a novel Bayesian approach capable of jointly estimating the pulse location; interpolating the almost annihilated signal underlying the strong discontinuity that initiates the pulse; and also estimating the long pulse tail.

• Abstract: A common defect found when reproducing old vinyl and gramophone recordings with mechanical devices are the long pulses with significant low-frequency content caused by the interaction of the arm-needle system with deep scratches or even breakages on the media surface. Previous approaches to their suppression on digital counterparts of the recordings depend on a prior estimation of the pulse location, usually performed via heuristic methods. This paper proposes a novel Bayesian approach capable of jointly estimating the pulse location; interpolating the almost annihilated signal underlying the strong discontinuity that initiates the pulse; and also estimating the long pulse tail by a simple Gaussian Process, allowing its suppression from the corrupted signal. The posterior distribution for the model parameters as well for the pulse is explored via Markov-Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms. Controlled experiments indicate that the proposed method, while requiring significantly less user intervention, achieves perceptual results similar to those of previous approaches and performs well when dealing with naturally degraded signals.

  Atrial fibrillation (AF) significantly increases the risk of stroke, heart disease, and mortality. Photoplethysmography ( PPG) signals are susceptible to corruption from motion artifacts and other factors often encountered in ambulatory settings. We propose a novel deep learning model, designed to learn how to retain accurate predictions from partially corrupted PPG.

  We study the effect of local unitary noise on the entanglement evolution of a two-qubit system subject to local monitoring and inter-qubit coupling. We construct a Hamiltonian by incorporating the noise into the Chantasri-Dressel-Jordan path integral and use it to identify the optimal entanglement dynamics. Numerical investigation of long-time steady-state entanglement reveals a non-monotonic relationship between concurrence and noise strength.

  We present an informed single-channel dereverberation method based on conditional generation with diffusion models. With knowledge of the room impulse response, the anechoic utterance is generated via reverse diffusion. The proposed approach is largely more robust to measurement noise compared to a state-of-the-art informed single-channel dereverberation method.

The segmentation sub-network predicts pixel-level anomaly scores using the input image and its anomaly-free restoration.
