Making the content of web pages more accessible for visually impaired people involves displaying web pages sonically mostly by speech. The other aspect of web browsing entering information into web forms remains nearly untouched. This aspect is one of the biggest advantages of the internet itself the possibility to use search engines Google, etc. Before searching the Internet, the user must ent...

A hand-printed Chinese character recognizer based on Contextual Vector Quantization (CVQ) has been built previously. In this paper, several properties of the recognizer will be discussed and the recognizer of 4516 Chinese characters has a successful rate of 91.0%. Then the output of the recognizer is passed to a language model which when applied to recognize a passage of about 1200 characters r...

In this paper, we propose a simple and effective method for speech understanding. The method incorporates some speech recognizers. We use two recognizers, a large vocabulary continuous speech recognizer and a domain-specific speech recognizer. The integrated recognizer is a robust and flexible method for speech understanding. For the integration process, we use a simple edit distance measure of...

This paper describes the development and testing of a pilot spoken dialogue system for bus travel information in the city of Trondheim, Norway. The system driven dialogue was designed on the basis of analyzed recordings from both human-human operator dialogues, Wizard-of-Oz (WoZ) dialogues, and a text-based inquiry system for the web. The dialogue system employs a flexible speech recognizer and...

Constructing speech interfaces to large knowledge bases is difficult. Increasing the scope of the knowledge base often results in a decrease in speech-recognition accuracy. Re-engineering the input language to improve accuracy often necessitates non-trivial modification to the knowledge-base query processor. This problem is compounded if sophisticated techniques are used to analyze input to obt...

In this paper we study fuzzy multiobjective optimization problems defined for $n$ variables.  Based on a new $p$-dimensional fuzzy stationary-point definition,  necessary  efficiency conditions are obtained.  And we prove that these conditions are also sufficient under new fuzzy generalized convexity notions. Furthermore, the results are obtained under general differentiability hypothesis.

minkowski type inequalities for the seminormed fuzzy integrals on abstract spaces are studied in a rather general form. also related inequalities to minkowski type inequality for the seminormed fuzzy integrals on abstract spaces are studied. several examples are given to illustrate the validity of theorems. some results on chebyshev and minkowski type inequalities are obtained.

P systems are parallel molecular computing models based on processing multisets of objects in cell-like membrane structures. In this paper we give a membrane algorithm to multidimensional 0–1 knapsack problem in linear time by recognizer P systems with input and with active membranes using 2-division. This algorithm can also be modified to solve general 0–1 integer programming problem.

a fuzzy observer based scheme for synchronizing two hyperchaoticoscillators via a scalar transmitted signal for cryptographic application isproposed. the takagi-sugeno fuzzy model exactly represents chaotic systems.based on the general fuzzy model, the fuzzy observer of a chaotic system isdesigned on the basis of the n-shift multiple state based key encryption algorithm.the scalar transmitted s...

an orthogonal approach to the fuzzification of both multisets and hybridsets is presented. in particular, we introduce $l$-multi-fuzzy and$l$-fuzzy hybrid sets, which are general enough and in spirit with thebasic concepts of fuzzy set theory. in addition, we study the properties ofthese structures. also, the usefulness of these structures is examined inthe framework of mechanical multiset proc...
