High-level speaker-specific features (HLSSFs), such as the style of pronunciation of words, their use, phonotactics and prosody, form the main subjects of state-of-the-art research on automatic speaker recognition (ASR). In this paper, we experimentally verify HLSSF extraction and support vector machine (SVM)-based modelling techniques. The HLSSF extraction produces patterns of symbols for each...

A review of the author’s findings over four decades will show that the lognormal probability density function can be fit to many types of positive-variate radiation measurement and response data. The cumulative lognormal plot on probability vs. logarithmic coordinate graph paper can be shown to be useful in comparing trends in exposure distributions or responses under differing conditions or ex...

written for a particular gain. Then KGH = −1 so that a) when the amplitude of KGH is 1 or 0 dB and b) phase is 180o then we have the system just become unstable. Both the conditions have to be fulfilled. Hence, if we ask the question: How far is the system from instability ? We get two answers. The gain increment required at the frequency where phase is 180o and the phase increment required at ...

Amino acid (aa) sequence segments similar to those of these three cell-division gene products were searched for from PIR Database, by Lipman-Pearson method using Genentyx Software (Software Development Co., Tokyo). Thus found possibly homologous sequence segments were re-analyzed by dot-matrix method (Harr-Plot), and the corresponding base-sequence alignments (m-base-match in n-base-alignment) ...

This paper investigates probability distributions of dependency distances in six texts extracted from a Chinese dependency treebank. The fitting results reveal that the investigated distribution can be well captured by the right truncated Zeta distribution. In order to restrict the model only to natural language, two samples with randomly generated governors are investigated. One of them can be...

The development of moment-by-moment learning graphs (MBMLGs), which plot predictions about the probability that a student learned a skill at a specific time, has already helped to improve our understanding of how student performance during the learning process relates to robust learning [1]. In this study, we extend this work to study year-end learning outcomes and to account for differences in...

To analyze the effects of specific regions of the aleatory and epistemic uncertain variables on the failure probability, a regional sensitivity analysis (RSA) technique called contribution to failure probability (CFP) plot is developed in this paper. This RSA technique can detect the important aleatory and epistemic uncertain variables, and also measure the contribution of specific regions of t...

The capability of the dimensions measurement by ten appraisers of ten samples for Charpy Vnotch pendulum impact test was evaluated by Youden plot, analysis of measurement uncertainties, Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA), %P/T, Z-score, Mandel’s statistics and ttest. The group of “better” appraisers given by Youden plot was validated by majority of other methods.
