For singular metrics, Ray and Singer’s analytic torsion formalism cannot be applied. Hence we do not have the so-called Quillen metric on determinant of cohomology with respect to a singular metric. In this paper, we introduce a new metric on determinant of cohomology by adapting a totally different approach. More precisely, by strengthening results in the first paper of this series, we develop...

There has been substantial work in recent years on grounded language acquisition, in which paired language and sensor data are used to create a model of how linguistic constructs apply to the perceivable world. While powerful, this approach is hindered by the difficulty of obtaining unprompted negative examples of natural language annotations. In this paper, we describe an initial pilot of a sy...

Energy-aware algorithms have proven to be a crucial part of sensor network applications, especially if they are required to operate for extended periods of time. Among these, efficient routing algorithms are of utter importance since their effect can be experienced by all other layers. Thus, the optimization and accurate prediction of the lifetime of the system can only be performed in the pres...

Streaming services seek to optimise their use of bandwidth across audio and visual channels to maximise the quality of experience for users. This letter evaluates whether objective quality metrics can predict the audio quality for music encoded at low bitrates by comparing objective predictions with results from listener tests. Three objective metrics were benchmarked: PEAQ, POLQA, and VISQOLAu...

‎In this paper we study Finsler metrics with orthogonal invariance‎. ‎We‎ ‎find a partial differential equation equivalent to these metrics being locally projectively flat‎. ‎Some applications are given‎. ‎In particular‎, ‎we give an explicit construction of a new locally projectively flat Finsler metric of vanishing flag curvature which differs from the Finsler metric given by Berwald in 1929.

Introduction: Universities are the centers of interactions and communications and a basic of scientific products and publications in the country. Scientific production and publications are surveyed and evaluated for various reasons. Evaluation criteria with regard to the location, type and circumstances are different and are occasionally changed and new. In this study, we survey the new metrics...

Similarities and differences between “semantic metrics” (metrics defined on a knowledge-based IR system) and “conceptual metrics” (metrics defined on a Latent Semantic Indexing-based IR system) are discussed. Potential collaboration areas between research groups are identified. Potential application and collaboration areas of a new research area called “ontology metrics,” metrics calculated on ...

Since usage of digital video is wide spread nowadays, quality considerations have become essential, and industry demand for video quality measurement is rising. This proposal provides a method of perceptual quality assessment in H.264 standard encoder using objective modeling. For this purpose, quality impairments are calculated and a model is developed to compute the perceptual video quality m...

Electroenchephalography (EEG) recordings collected with developmental populations present particular challenges from a data processing perspective. These EEGs have a high degree of artifact contamination and often short recording lengths. As both sample sizes and EEG channel densities increase, traditional processing approaches like manual data rejection are becoming unsustainable. Moreover, su...
