In this paper, we describe our effort in developing new method of false alarm rejection for keyword spotting type of speech recognition system. This false alarm rejection uses prosodic similarities, and works as posterior rescore basis. In keyword spotting, there is always false alarm problem. Here, we propose a technique to reject those false alarms using prosodic features. In Japanese, prosod...

Research has consistently indicated that the use of mnemonic devices substantially enhances higher levels of retention in immediate recall of second language vocabulary words in comparison with other learning strategies. However, the evidence does not explain why the immediate benefits of mnemonic devices fail to extend to long-term retention. In addition, research on mnemonics has drawn mostly...

Complex adnexal masses are common and often present as a diagnostic dilemma. Many of these complex adnexal masses require timely recognition and treatment. Therefore, it is important to have a good differential diagnostic approach to these lesions. The classic differential for complex adnexal mass is the mnemonic "CHEETAH." This mnemonic may be a helpful memory device for residents, especially ...

In this article, joint medical and data analysis expertise is brought to bear using contrasting data analysis methods and the WOWA aggregation operator to solve a difficult medical diagnosis problem, that of sleep apnea syndrome screening. We describe a method of calculating the relevance and reliability weights used by the WOWA operator. Source URL: https://www.iiia.csic.es/en/node/54977 Links...
