Searching for the Missing Piece

Tree-trellis forward-backward algorithm has been widely used for N-best search in continuous speech recognition. In conventional approaches, the heuristic score used for the A* backward search is derived from the partial-path scores recorded during the forward pass. The inherently delayed use of language model in the lexical tree structure leads to inefficient pruning and the partial-path score...

Graphene: The Missing Piece for Cancer Diagnosis?

This paper reviews recent advances in graphene-based biosensors development in order to obtain smaller and more portable devices with better performance for earlier cancer detection. In fact, the potential of Graphene for sensitive detection and chemical/biological free-label applications results from its exceptional physicochemical properties such as high electrical and thermal conductivity, a...
