This paper describes the IR/NTU system submitted for the NIST Rich Transcription 2007 (RT-07) Meeting Recognition evaluation Multiple Distant Microphone (MDM) task. In our system, speaker turn detection and clustering is done using Direction of Arrival (DOA) information. Purification of the resultant speaker clusters is then done by performing GMM modeling on acoustic features. As a final step,...

Although plot-scale erosion experiments are numerous, there few studies on constructed landforms. This limits the understanding of their long-term stability, which is especially important for planning mined land rehabilitation. The objective this study was to gain insight into processes in a 30 × m trial plot mine waste rock dump tropical northern Australia. relationships between rainfall, runo...

In the problems of choosing “aspirations” for coalitional games, we study two axioms, “MW-consistency” and “converse MW-consistency”, introduced by Moldovanu and Winter (1994). We mainly consider two domains: the domain of all NTU games and the domain of all TU games. In particular, we study which subsolutions of the aspiration correspondence satisfy MW-consistency and/or converse MWconsistency...

The Value is a solution concept originally due to Shapley (1953). The idea behind the concept is to evaluate how much will a player be willing to pay to participate in a given game. It seeks to represent what the game is worth for a player. In some sense the value captures the expected outcome of the game. We will start with the TU (transferable utility) framework and the axiomatic approach and...

Building on the work of Nash, Harsanyi, and Shapley, we define a cooperative solution for strategic games that takes account of both the competitive and the cooperative aspects of such games. We prove existence in the general (NTU) case and uniqueness in the TU case. Our main result is an extension of the definition and the existence and uniqueness theorems to stochastic games discounted or und...

A compact representation for non-transferable utility games founding on answer set programming is proposed. The representation is fully expressive, in that it can capture all games defined over a finite set of alternatives. Moreover, due to the knowledge representation capabilities of answer set programs, it can easily accommodate the definition of games within a wide range of application domai...
