We present an approach to efficiently and effectively downsize and adapt the structure of large vocabulary conversational speech recognition (LVCSR) systems to unseen domains, requiring only small amounts of transcribed adaptation data. Our approach aims at bringing todays mostly task dependent systems closer to the aspired goal of domain independence. To achieve this, we rely on the ACID/HNN f...

This paper presents a novel heuristic approach, named JDS-HNN, to simultaneously schedule jobs and replicate data files to different entities of a grid system so that the overall makespan of executing all jobs as well as the overall delivery time of all data files to their dependent jobs is concurrently minimized. JDS-HNN is inspired by a natural distribution of a variety of stones among differ...

Multiple-access interference (MAI) is a principal shortcoming of code division multiple access (CDMA) system. As the optimum multiuser detection (MUD) can’t be realized in practice, more attentions are paid to suboptimum detection scheme. We investigated the application of Hopfield neural network (HNN) to the problem of multiuser detection in Multicarrier CDMA(MC-CDMA) communica -tion systems i...

Mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is a dynamic collection of mobile computers without the need for any existing infrastructure. Nodes in a MANET act as hosts and routers. Designing of robust routing algorithms for MANETs is a challenging task. Disjoint multipath routing protocols address this problem and increase the reliability, security and lifetime of network. However, selecting an optimal multi...

This paper proposes a high specificity and sensitivity algorithm called PromPredictor for recognizing promoter regions in the human genome. PromPredictor extracts compositional features and CpG islands information from genomic sequence, feeding these features as input for a hybrid neural network system (HNN) and then applies the HNN for prediction. It combines a novel promoter recognition model...

We prove the following. Theorem. Let π be the fundamental group of a finite graph of groups with finitely generated vertex groups Gv having asdimGv ≤ n for all vertices v. Then asdimπ ≤ n + 1. This gives the best possible estimate for the asymptotic dimension of an HNN extension and the amalgamated product.

This paper presents novel Neural Nanowire Field Effect Transistors (υ-NWFETs) based hardware-implementable neural network (HNN) approach for tactile data processing in electronic skin (e-skin). The viability of Si nanowires (NWs) as the active material for υ-NWFETs in HNN is explored through modeling and demonstrated by fabricating the first device. Using υ-NWFETs to realize HNNs is an interest...

It is shown that the existential theory of G with rational constraints, over an HNN-extension G = 〈H, t; tat = φ(a)(a ∈ A)〉 is decidable, provided that the same problem is decidable in the base group H and that A is a finite group. The positive theory of G is decidable, provided that the existential positive theory of G is decidable and that A and φ(A) are proper subgroups of the base group H w...
