A new pattern matching method, Partly Hidden Markov Model, is proposed and applied to speech recognition. Hidden Markov Model, which is widely used for speech recognition, can deal with only piecewise stationary stochastic process. We solved this problem by introducing the modi ed second order Markov Model, in which the rst state is hidden and the second one is observable. In this model, not on...

We present a model of repeated games in large two-sided networks between clients and agents in the presence of third-party observability networks via which clients share information about past transactions. The model allows us to characterize cooperation networks networks in which each agent cooperates with every client that is connected to her. To this end, we show that: [1] the incentives of ...

This letter presents a variant of cloud radio access network (C-RAN) architecture, which we term partly wireless C-RAN (PW-CRAN). It is characterized by extra radio nodes connected through the existing remote radio heads (RRHs). Because of the newly connected nodes and the consequent additional delay, the operation of PW-CRAN requires different approaches compared to that of the typical C-RAN. ...

This paper discusses recent advances in the full spectral simulation of scenes with partial cloud cover. We examine the effect of broken cloud fields on the solar illumination reaching the ground. Application of aerosol retrieval techniques in the vicinity of broken clouds leads to significant over-prediction of aerosol optical depth because of the enhancement of visible illumination due to sca...
