Vehicle ownership, purchases, and leasing: consumer survey data
Motor vehicles play a central role in the modern American lifestyle. The vast majority of workers travel to work by private vehicle. Motor vehicles are one of the most widely owned assets, with more than 85 percent of U.S. households owning one or more vehicles in 1992. Costs related to vehicles—vehicle purchases, operating expenses and repairs, and insurance—account for a sizable part of the t...
متن کاملThe Simpler the Better
We built three different AI models to predict the category (frozen, liquid or none) based on polarimetric radar variables. One model was a long-shot model for the purpose of winning the competition (it didn’t). The second was a complex black box model to represent the average learnability of the dataset. The third was a simple, human-readable model that would perform similarly to the above two ...
متن کاملHybrid language models: is simpler better?
The use of several n-gram and hybrid language models with and without cache is examined in the context of producing court transcripts. Language models with cache (in which words which have recently been uttered are preferred) have seen considerable use. The suitability of cache models (with fixed size cache) in the production of court transcripts is not clear. A decrease in perplexity and an im...
متن کاملAccessing Scientifgic Data: Simpler is Better
A variety of index structures has been proposed for supporting fast access and summarization of large multidimensional data sets. Some of these indices are fairly involved, hence few are used in practice. In this paper we examine how to reduce the I/O cost by taking full advantage of recent trends in hard disk development which favor reading large chunks of consecutive disk blocks over seeking ...
متن کاملAffine Transformations in Speaker Adaptation – Why Simpler Is Better
Speaker adaptation is an important technique that can compensate for the mismatch between training data and the vocal characteristics of an individual user in a speech recognition system, however this can come at the cost of increased computational complexity. This paper reports a detailed comparison of four different affine transformation configurations for speaker adaptation, and the evaluati...
