We describe an approach to grapheme-to-phoneme conversion which is both language-independent and data-oriented. Given a set of examples (spelling words with their associated phonetic representation) in a language, a grapheme-to-phoneme conversion system is automatically produced for that language which takes as its input the spelling of words, and produces as its output the phonetic transcripti...

Machine learning approach has got major importance when distribution of data is unknown. Classification of data from the data set causes some problem when distribution of data is unknown. Characterization of raw data relates to whether the data can take on only discrete values or whether the data is continuous. In real world application data drawn from non-stationary distribution, causes the pr...

This chapter presents a case study concerning the development of a Statistical Information System (SIS) out of data coming from administrative archives of the PAs. Such archives are a rich source of up to date information, but an attempt to use them as sources for statistical analysis reveals errors and incompatibilities among each other that do not permit their usage as a statistical and decis...

Ultra wideband radio (UWB) is a new high-speed wireless technology that uses subnanosecond pulses to transmit information. Implementing an all-digital UWB receiver has numerous benefits ranging from low cost and ease of design to flexibility. Digitizing an RF signal near the antenna, however, introduces its own set of challenges and has traditionally been considered infeasible. A high-speed, hi...
