A Power-Weighted Noncentral Complex Gaussian Distribution
The complex Gaussian distribution has been widely used as a fundamental spectral and noise model in signal processing and communication. However, its Gaussian structure often limits its ability to represent the diverse amplitude characteristics observed in individual source signals. On the other hand, many existing non-Gaussian amplitude distributions derived from hyperspherical models achieve good empirical fit due to their power-law structures, while they do not explicitly account for the complex-plane geometry inherent in complex-valued observations. In this paper, we propose a new probabilistic model for complex-valued random variables, which can be interpreted as a power-weighted noncentral complex Gaussian distribution. Unlike conventional hyperspherical amplitude models, the proposed model is formulated directly on the complex plane and preserves the geometric structure of complex-valued observations while retaining a higher-dimensional interpretation. The model introduces a nonlinear phase diffusion through a single shape parameter, enabling continuous control of the distributional geometry from arc-shaped diffusion along the phase direction to concentration of probability mass toward the origin. We formulate the proposed distribution and analyze the statistical properties of the induced amplitude distribution. The derived amplitude and power distributions provide a unified framework encompassing several widely used distributions in signal modeling, including the Rice, Nakagami, and gamma distributions. Experimental results on speech power spectra demonstrate that the proposed model consistently outperforms conventional distributions in terms of log-likelihood.

ExplainMySurprise: LearningEfficientLong-Term MemorybyPredictingUncertainOutcomes
In many sequential tasks, a model needs to remember relevant events from the distant past to make correct predictions. Unfortunately, a straightforward application ofgradient based training requires intermediate computations tobestored for every element of a sequence. This requires to store prohibitively large intermediate data ifasequence consists ofthousands oreven millions elements, and asaresult, makeslearning ofverylong-term dependencies infeasible.

NearOptimalExploration-Exploitationin Non-CommunicatingMarkovDecisionProcesses
Reinforcement learning (RL) [1] studies the problem of learning in sequential decision-making problems where the dynamics of the environment is unknown, but can be learnt by performing actions andobserving their outcome inanonline fashion. Asample-efficient RLagent must trade off the explorationneeded to collect information about the environment, and theexploitation of the experience gathered so far to gain as much reward as possible.
