Modern automatic speech recognition ASR technology is based on a communication theoretical view of the generation acquisition and transmission and perception of speech The goal of speech recognition is then de ned as recovering the intended sequence of linguistic units from the observed acoustic signal Under a statistical decision theoretic formulation ASR is formulated as a statistical decisio...

A lattice Boltzmann scheme is developed for homogeneous mixture modeling, based on the multiple-relaxation-time (MRT) formulation, which fully recovers the Maxwell-Stefan diffusion model in the continuum limit with (a) external force and (b) tunable Schmidt number. The theoretical basis of the proposed MRT formulation is a recently proposed Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook-type kinetic model for gas mixtu...

ÐIn this paper, a novel method of pattern discovery is proposed. It is based on the theoretical formulation of a contingency table of events. Using residual analysis and recursive partitioning, statistically significant events are identified in a data set. These events constitute the important information contained in the data set and are easily interpretable as simple rules, contour plots, or ...

In this paper, we study triply periodic surfaces with minimal surface area under a constraint in the volume fraction of the regions (phases) that the surface separates. Using a variational level set method formulation, we present a theoretical characterization of and a numerical algorithm for computing these surfaces. We use our theoretical and computational formulation to study the optimality ...

Weighted model integration (WMI) is a recent formalism generalizing weighted model counting (WMC) to run probabilistic inference over hybrid domains, characterized by both discrete and continuous variables and relationships between them. Albeit powerful, the original formulation of WMI suffers from some theoretical limitations, and it is computationally very demanding as it requires to explicit...

OBJECTIVE Clinical reasoning in psychiatry may be considered to be more challenging than in other branches of medicine because of its highly subjective nature. The literature on systematic approaches to the teaching of clinical reasoning in psychiatry is lacking, and we propose an approach that may assist educators and learners. METHOD A systematic approach with a theoretical underpinning in ...

In a meta-analysis, the authors test the theoretical formulation that religiosity is a means for self-enhancement. The authors operationalized self-enhancement as socially desirable responding (SDR) and focused on three facets of religiosity: intrinsic, extrinsic, and religion-as-quest. Importantly, they assessed two moderators of the relation between SDR and religiosity. Macrolevel culture ref...

We present the results of experimental and theoretical investigations into the photoionization spectra of Ba Stark states at energies resonant with the 5d7d D2 perturber level starting from the 5d6p D1 o state. The electric field is strong enough to allow the electrons to classically escape the atom, thus transforming the perturber state into a resonance. Much of the dynamics of this remarkably...

Most learning to rank research has assumed that the utility of different documents is independent, which results in learned ranking functions that return redundant results. The few approaches that avoid this have rather unsatisfyingly lacked theoretical foundations, or do not scale. We present a learning-to-rank formulation that optimizes the fraction of satisfied users, with several scalable a...

In this paper, we study triply-periodic surfaces with minimal surface area under a constraint in the volume fraction of the regions (phases) that the surface separates. Using a phase-field method formulation, we present a theoretical characterization of and a numerical algorithm for computing these surfaces. We use our theoretical and computational formulation to study the optimality of the Sch...
