A Variational EM Framework With Adaptive Edge Selection for Blind Motion Deblurring
Blind motion deblurring is an important problem that receives enduring attention in last decade. Based on the observation that a good intermediate estimate of latent image for estimating motion-blur kernel is not necessarily the one closest to latent image, edge selection has proven itself a very powerful technique for achieving state-of-the-art performance in blind deblurring. This paper presented an interpretation of edge selection/reweighting in terms of variational Bayes inference, and therefore developed a novel variational expectation maximization (VEM) algorithm with built-in adaptive edge selection for blind deblurring. Together with a restart strategy for avoiding undesired local convergence, the proposed VEM method not only has a solid mathematical foundation but also noticeably outperformed the state-of-the-art methods on benchmark datasets.

Blind Equalization and Channel Estimation in Coherent Optical Communications Using Variational Autoencoders
We investigate the potential of adaptive blind equalizers based on variational inference for carrier recovery in optical communications. These equalizers are based on a low-complexity approximation of maximum likelihood …

A new maximum likelihood estimation approach for blind channel equalization, using variational autoencoders (VAEs), is introduced. Significant and consistent improvements in the error rate of the reconstructed symbols, c…
SAHMM-VAE: A Source-Wise Adaptive Hidden Markov Prior Variational Autoencoder for Unsupervised Blind Source Separation
We propose SAHMM-VAE, a source-wise adaptive Hidden Markov prior variational autoencoder for unsupervised blind source separation. Instead of treating the latent prior as a single generic regularizer, the proposed framew…
Mask-GVAE: Blind Denoising Graphs via Partition
We present Mask-GVAE, a variational generative model for blind denoising large discrete graphs, in which "blind denoising" means we don't require any supervision from clean graphs. We focus on recovering graph structures…

Blind source separation (BSS) seeks to recover latent source signals from observed mixtures. Variational autoencoders (VAEs) offer a natural perspective for this problem: the latent variables can be interpreted as source…
