Convolve and Conquer: Data Comparison with Wiener Filters
Quantitative evaluations of differences and/or similarities between data samples define and shape optimisation problems associated with learning data distributions. Current methods to compare data often suffer from limitations in capturing such distributions or lack desirable mathematical properties for optimisation (e.g. smoothness, differentiability, or convexity). In this paper, we introduce a new method to measure (dis)similarities between paired samples inspired by Wiener-filter theory. The convolutional nature of Wiener filters allows us to comprehensively compare data samples in a globally correlated way. We validate our approach in four machine learning applications: data compression, medical imaging imputation, translated classification, and non-parametric generative modelling. Our results demonstrate increased resolution in reconstructed images with better perceptual quality and higher data fidelity, as well as robustness against translations, compared to conventional mean-squared-error analogue implementations.

Wiener filters on graphs and distributed polynomial approximation algorithms
In this paper, we consider Wiener filters to reconstruct deterministic and (wide-band) stationary graph signals from their observations corrupted by random noises, and we propose distributed algorithms to implement Wiene…
