In this paper, we propose a novel implementation of a minimax decision rule for continuous density hidden Markov model based robust speech recognition. By combining the idea of the minimax decision rule with a normal Viterbi search, we derive a recursive minimax search algorithm, where the minimax decision rule is repetitively applied to determine the partial paths during the search procedure. ...

The continuos improvements offered by the silicon technology make possible the integration of always increasing number of cores on a single chip. Following this trend, it is expected to approach microprocessor architectures composed of thousands of cores (i.e., kilo-cores architectures) in the next future. In this context simulation tools represent a crucial factor for designing architecture at...

Actualmente existen programas de cálculo estructural para puentes prefabricados continuos con secciones evolutivas, pero difícilmente permiten un control real del proceso y las consecuencias que tiene la variación los datos partida en distribución final tensiones. El presente trabajo presenta método simplificado mejorado sección homogeneizada módulo efectivo ajustado a edad compuestas constitui...

Suppose that $f$ is a $K$-quasiconformal self-mapping of the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$, which satisfies following: $(1)$ biharmonic equation $\Delta(\Delta f)=g$ $(g\in \mathcal{C}(\overline{\mathbb{D}}))$, (2) boundary condition $\Delta f=\varphi$ ($\varphi\in\mathcal{C}(\mathbb{T})$ and $\mathbb{T}$ denotes circle), $(3)$ $f(0)=0$. The purpose this paper to prove Lipschitz continuos, and, furthe...

Over the last two years Lund University has devoted much energy to create distance learning facilities for both traditional student groups and to a growing extent for employed people in industry and the public sector in need of continuos learning. The courses cover a number of rapidly changing fields of knowledge and competence, such as information and communication technology. This paper descr...

Technology-oriented companies are typically interested in monitoring developments concerning their technologies. However, most companies, especially SMEs, don’t have an efficient process how this is achieved. If at all, efforts are mostly limited to uncoordinated keyword queries on web resources. Here, we present a semi-automatic approach that allows for structured and continuous detection of r...

The problem of vehicle guidance in a network with failures is considered. The network may be in one of nitely many states characterized by diierent travel times along the arcs, and transitions between the states occur according to a continuos-time Markov chain. The objective is to guide the vehicles in a manner minimizing the total expected travel time. Dynamic programming models and ow-oriente...

The tunic is a peculiar integumentary tissue covering the epidermis of ascidians and other tunicates. It is an extracellular matrix whose outermost surface is revealed to be a continuos layer called tunic cuticle, composed of electron dense fibrous materials. Mechanisms occurring during the growth of the animal after metamorphosis, must assure the maintenance of the thin tunic cuticle density a...

Learning is a continuous process that does not come to an end when one leaves school or university. In case of virtual organisations, it is important that the personnel from different local entities that are linked together shares the same knowledge, at the same level, and updates the knowledge consistently and permanently. The paper presents a cooperative distributed learning system and shows ...

This paper addresses the problem of joint rate-distortion optimization of spline curves for optimal video object shape coding. It proposes a B-spline snake model which minimizes rate-distortion energy to find optimal spline coefficients. A continous model of a contour distortion is used which models the shape reconstruction error. A continous model of a coding bitrate is based on the relative i...
