Much interest already exists in the electronics research community for developing and integrating speech technology to a variety of applications, ranging from voice-activated systems to automatic telephone transactions. This interest is particularly true in the field of aerospace where the training and operational demands on the crew have significantly increased with the proliferation of techno...

User-generated content presents many challenges for its automatic processing. While many of them do come from out-of-vocabulary effects, others spawn from different linguistic phenomena such as unusual syntax. In this work we present a French three-domain data set made up of question headlines from a cooking forum, game chat logs and associated forums from two popular online games (MINECRAFT & ...

This work describes a method for the automatic construction of a thesaurus based on existing categories of documents. A clustering algorithm, “the layer seeds method”, is introduced, which facilitates the automatic generation of a thesaurus reflecting the specific vocabulary occurring in a given collection of documents. We assume that the collection is partitioned into document categories. The ...

Control of wellbore pressure during drilling operations has always been important in the oil industry as this can prevent the possibility of well blowout. The present research employs a combination of automatic process control and statistical process control for the first time for the identification, monitoring, and control of both random and special causes in drilling operations. To this end, ...

In some texts from automatic writing (psychography), the produced signature sometimes resembles one deceased in life. This pilot research aims to explore resemblance between signatures and deceased's handwriting. The researcher followed two séances of a reputed Spiritist medium with many years experience psychography. procedures were all filmed, during trance wrote speed clearly above conventio...

In recent years, Many manufacturing industries for promoting their efficiency have tended to use the automatic manufacturing systems. Expanding automatic systems and to increase their complexity are representing the necessity of studying a proper functional quality and using reliable equipment in such systems more than ever. In this direction, the technique of fault tree analysis (FTA), along w...

Pilot contamination is one of the main impairments in multi-cell massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output systems. In order to improve channel estimation this context, we propose use a semi-blind estimator based on constant modulus algorithm (CMA). We consider an enhanced version CMA namely Modified which modifies cost function sum functions for real and imaginary parts. Due pilot contamination, ...

INTRODUCTION Automatic ventilation for patients with respiratory failure aims at reducing mortality and can minimize the workload of clinical staff, offer standardized continuous care, and ultimately save the overall cost of therapy. We therefore developed a prototype for closed-loop ventilation using acute respiratory distress syndrome network (ARDSNet) protocol, called autoARDSNet. METHODS ...
