Abstract There has been little work in the literature on speaker diarization of meetings with multiple distance microphones since publications 2012 related to last National Institute Standards (NIST) Rich Transcription Evaluation Campaign 2009 (RT09). Lately, Second DIHARD Challenge also covered at dinner party that include distant microphones. Dinner are somehow harder than office because thei...

Confidence intervals using robust PPML-standard errors are too small in cross-section gravity models. Monte Carlo simulations indicate approximately correct coverage rates of jackknife and percentile bootstrap confidence intervals. Those constrained PPML estimates reliable, if trade costs non-stochastic.

Design of blasting parameters plays an important role in the optimization of mining cost as well as cost of subsequent processing of ore. Drilling and handling costs are the major mining cost. This work presents an indirect optimization model for mining cost, through optimization of blasting parameters for a particular set of drilling and loading equipment.

in this approach, the left ventricular assist pump for patients with left ventricular failure isused. the failure of the left ventricle is the most common heart disease during these days. inthis article, a state feedback controller method is used to optimize the efficiency of a samplingpump current. particle swarm algorithm, which is a set of rules to update the position andvelocity, is applied...

This paper proposes a test cost prediction model which estimates the cost of IC testing in a manufacturing environment. The model predicts chip testing cost and quality of test using a set of circuit manufacturing parameters. The objective is to use these circuit parameters which are available at the early stage of the design cycle to determine and optimize manufacturing test cost.
