Gain and time-constant factors shift the inverse process relative to its feedback controller. A new robustness plot cross-graphs these shift factors that take the loop to the stability boundary as a function of frequency.

This report focuses on an automatic estimation of speakers’ anger emotion degree. Two kinds of pseudo-dialogs were held to collect spontaneous anger utterances during the natural Japanese dialog. In order to quantify the anger degree of utterances, a six-scale subjective evaluation was conducted to grade every utterance according to an anger emotion degree by twelve evaluators. With this data s...

We re-assess the impact brought by a set of widely-used SMT models and techniques by means of human evaluation. These include different types of development sets (crowdsourced vs translated professionally), reordering, operation sequence and bilingual neural language models as well as common approaches to data selection and combination. In some cases our results corroborate previous findings fo...

The estimation of the perceived tempo is required in many MIR applications. However, automatic tempo estimation itself is still an open problem due to the insufficient understanding of the inherent mechanisms of the tempo perception. Published methods only use the information of rhythm pattern, so they may meet the half/double tempo error problem. To solve this problem, We propose to use statis...

In this paper, we have developed the scoring system that scores short answers based on the score table updated by average scores of non-existing answers. The accuracy and the consistency are very important, because the score influences a life. Automatic mark systems have consistency but need more accuracy. In the paper and pencil, a consistency is difficult to maintain. To achieve accuracy and ...
