(CAAR) is a consortium of researchers from six universities working in partnership with Department of Defense laboratories and industry. CAAR is funded by the Office of Naval Research through a 1997 Department of Research Initiative. Abstract Almost all prior work on modelling the dependance of acoustic emissions on tool wear have concentrated on the effect of wear-level on the sound. We give j...

This paper describes a methodology for the statistical modeling of music works. Starting from either the representation of the symbolic score or the audio recording of a performance, a hidden Markov model is built to represent the corresponding music work. The model can be used to identify unknown recordings and to align them with the corresponding score. Experimental evaluation using a collect...

In this paper we describe an approach to resolve strategic games in which players can assume different types along the game. Our goal is to infer which type the opponent is adopting at each moment so that we can increase the player’s odds. To achieve that we use Markov games combined with hidden Markov model. We discuss a hypothetical example of a tennis game whose solution can be applied to an...

In this paper we present CELI's participation in Evalita 2011 FLaIT task. Based on Markov model reasoning, our system obtained the highest precision in comparison to the other participants.

HPV vaccine has been recently added to the Iran Drug List, so decision makers need information beyond that available from RCTs to recommend funding for this vaccination. Modeling and economic studies have addressed some of those information needs. We reviewed cost effectiveness studies to find a suitable model for Iranian population to determine the potential cost effectiveness of HPV vaccine p...

Fear of increasing prices and concern about climate change are motivating residential power conservation efforts. We investigate the effectiveness of several unsupervised disaggregation methods on low frequency power measurements collected in real homes. Specifically, we consider variants of the factorial hidden Markov model. Our results indicate that a conditional factorial hidden semi-Markov ...
