A Comparison of Two Lvr Search Op
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a detailed comparison between two search optimization techniques for large vocabulary speech recognition – one based on word-conditioned tree search (WCTS) and one based on weighted finite-state transducers (WFSTs). Existing North American Business News systems from RWTH and AT&T representing each of the two approaches, were modified to remove variations in model data and acoustic likelihood computation. An experimental comparison showed that the WFST-based system explored fewer search states and had less runtime overhead than the WCTS-based system for a given word error rate. This is attributed to differences in the pre-compilation, degree of non-determinism, and path weight distribution in the respective search graphs.

متن کاملPrevalence and associated factors of osteoporosis in female patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Background: Osteoporosis (OP) is a common complication of inflammatory arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this study we evaluated Osteoporosis and its related factors in RA patients. Methods: This cross - sectional study was carried out from 2010 to 2011 on 121 women with RA aged 45-75 years. These patients were selected and divided in two groups according to their bone mineral de...
متن کاملChronic chymase inhibition preserves cardiac function after left ventricular repair in rats.
OBJECTIVE Although left ventricular repair (LVR) has been widely performed, the initial improvement of LV function does not last because of LV remodeling. Recent studies have demonstrated that chymase, a local enzyme in the heart, promotes angiotensin II formation as well as activation of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta, both of which facilitate myocardial fibrosis. Therefore, chymase blo...
متن کاملAtrial natriuretic peptide helps prevent late remodeling after left ventricular aneurysm repair.
BACKGROUND Left ventricular aneurysm repair (LVR) reduces LV wall stress and improves LV function. However, as we reported previously, the initial improvement of LVR was short-term because of LV remodeling but could be maintained longer with postoperative use of an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) has been used to treat patients with heart failure ...
