It has recently been observed that the permanent of a nonnegative square matrix, ie, of a
square matrix containing only nonnegative real entries, can very well be approximated by …

Among all memoryless source distributions, the pattern maximum likelihood (PML)
distribution is the distribution which maximizes the probability that a memoryless source …

Random finite sets (RFSs) has been a fruitful area of research in recent years, yielding new
approximate filters such as the probability hypothesis density (PHD), cardinalised PHD …

It was recently conjectured that a vector with components equal to the Bethe permanent of
certain submatrices of a parity-check matrix is a pseudocodeword. In this paper, we analyze …

This report explores estimation of association hypothesis marginals in multitarget tracking
when in a multihypothesis setting. The work builds upon the recent results in multitarget …
