We propose the notion of a quasiminimal abstract elementary class (AEC). This is an AEC satisfying four semantic conditions: countable Löwenheim-Skolem-Tarski number, existence of a prime model, closure under intersections, and uniqueness of the generic orbital type over every countable model. We exhibit a correspondence between Zilber’s quasiminimal pregeometry classes and quasiminimal AECs: a...

ELEMENTARY CLASSES RAMI GROSSBERG AND SEBASTIEN VASEY Abstract. In the context of abstract elementary classes (AECs) with a monster model, several possible definitions of superstability have appeared in the literature. Among them are no long splitting chains, uniqueness of limit models, and solvability. Under the assumption that the class is tame and stable, we show that (asymptotically) no lon...

In this paper, we propose a novel acoustic echo suppression (AES) technique based on soft decision in a frequency domain. The proposed approach provides an ef cient and uni ed framework for such procedures as AES gain computation, AES gain modi cation using soft decision, and estimation of relevant parameters based on the same statistical model assumption of the near-end and far-end signal inst...

A real-time unwanted-audio cancellation system is developed. The system enhances recorded sound by canceling unwanted loudspeaker sounds picked up during the recording. After cancellation, the resulting sound gives an improved estimation of the live performer’s sound. The cancellation works by estimating the unwanted audio signal and subtracting it from the recorded signal. The canceller is com...

The adaptive interference cancellation algorithms(AICA) is proposed in this paper. The Matlab simulation results of the performance of six different kinds of AICA are presented. According to the comparison of the simulation results, especially the usage of resource, convergence rate and effects of cancellation, the NLMS adaptive interference cancellation algorithm and frequency-domain block LMS...

Residual echo arises in hands–free telephony equipment due to insufficient echo canceler convergence, but can be suppressed using a postfilter. The residual echo power spectral density is the most crucial control parameter for both frequency–domain acoustic echo cancellation and combined residual echo and noise postfiltering. In this contribution we present and compare residual echo power spect...
