Session 12: Information Retrieval

Research in information retrieval is enjoying renewed interest by many different communities. Commercial retrieval systems, which in the past have concentrated on Boolean pat tern matching methodologies, are beginning to look into more sophist icated search methods, including complex stat istical and /o r natural language processing systems. This has spurred new interest in research in informat...

Session 12: Parallel Programming

The drive to identify solutions to the many problems associated with the development of code for execution on parallel architectures continues to dominate research in this area. Apart from the problems associated with the lack of general purpose development environments there is the simple fact that once a parallel version of a program is produced there is no guarantee that it will have a satis...

ISSCC 2006 / SESSION 12 / NYQUIST ADCs / 12 .

Micro-sensor nodes are highly energy-constrained and have timevarying performance demands. Accordingly, in this work an ultralow-power energy-scalable ADC is presented. The SAR architecture is well suited to environment monitoring. Recent micropower implementations have been limited to low resolutions (8 bits) [1]. The circuit and architecture enhancements presented in this paper efficiently in...

Session 12: Speech Recognition II

In the first paper, Jim Glass sketched some of the avenues pursued in the MIT SUMMIT work. They have been working on input normalization, different segmental representations, and issues in experimental phonetics. The auditory model requires careful normalization (a condition also explored by IBM in several ICASSP papers), and a non-linear adaptive technique was described without results. Bounda...
