Although there have been some promising results in computer lipreading, there has been a paucity of data on which to train automatic systems. However the recent emergence of the TCDTIMIT corpus, with around 6000 words, 59 speakers and seven hours of recorded audio-visual speech, allows the deployment of more recent techniques in audio-speech such as Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) and sequence disc...

selecting an appropriate manufacturing machine is a very important and complex problem for firms, which usually have to deal with both qualitative and quantitative criteria. taking into account the differences among machines in terms of cost, speed, quality and after sale services, type and number of machines are important parameters to consider. therefore, the goal of this paper is to propose ...

This paper constructs a high-level Abstract State Machine (ASM) model of our conceptual software architecture for “living” cooperative information systems founded in living systems theory. For practical execution, we use AsmL, the Abstract state machine Language developed at Microsoft Research and integrated with Visual Studio, to refine the ASM model to an executable system model for evaluation.

increasing the popularity of sip based services (voip, iptv, ims infrastructure) lead to concerns about its ‎security. the main signaling protocol of next generation networks and voip systems is session initiation protocol ‎‎(sip). inherent vulnerabilities of sip, misconfiguration of its related components and also its implementation ‎deficiencies cause some security concerns in sip based infra...

Conventional computation models assume symbolic representations of states and actions. Gurevich’s “Abstract-State Machine” model takes a more liberal position: Any mathematical structure may serve as a state. This results in “a computational model that is more powerful and more universal than standard computation models” [5]. We characterize the Abstract-State Machine model as a special class o...

The reconfigurable vibrating screen (RVS) machine is an innovative beneficiation machine designed for screening different mineral particles of varying sizes and volumes required by the customers’ through the geometric transformation of its screen structure. The successful RVS machine upkeep requires its continuous, availability, reliability and maintainability. The RVS machine downtime, which c...

Vasectomy in laboratory animals is a crucial step in the production of surrogate female mice. The surrogate mothers play a key role in successful embryo transfer, most important steps for the production of transgenic animal models, investigation of the preimplantation embryo development, and revitalization of cryopreserved strains. Abdominal and scrotal surgeries are common surgical proce...

in this paper we have proposed an approach for emotion detection in implicit texts. we have introduced a combinational system based on three subsystems. each one analyzes input data from a different aspect and produces an emotion label as output. the first subsystem is a machine learning method. the second one is a statistical approach based on vector space model (vsm) and the last one is a key...

multi-part words in english language are hyphenated and hyphen is used to separate different parts. persian language consists of multi-part words as well. based on persian morphology, half-space character is needed to separate parts of multi-part words where in many cases people incorrectly use space character instead of half-space character. this common incorrectly use of space leads to some s...
