In this paper we explore several options for cross-task adaptation in speech recognition and compare them to develop the new system from scratch. We compare cross-task MAP and MLLR adaptation, and both of them together, in two speech recognizers for air traffic control tasks, one for spontaneous speech and the other one for a command interface. We show how MLLR can even outperform MAP when a bi...

This paper sets out a series of rationales for public policy related to adaptation to the impacts of climatic change in the EU. It begins by arguing that that both mitigation and adaptation are necessary parts of a coordinated policy response to the problem of climatic change. However, the ‘problem structure’ of adaptation is significantly different to that of mitigation. For instance, adaptati...

The. theory of reduced incidence algebras of binomial posets furnishes a unified treatment of several types of generating functions that arise in enumerative combinatorics. Using this theory as a tool, we study ‘reduced covering algebras’ of binomial lattices and show that they are isomorphic to various algebras of q-binomial generating functions for certain modular binomial lattices.

Many theories of decision making assume that choice options are assessed along a common subjective value (SV) scale. The neural correlates of SV are widespread and reliable, despite the wide variation in the range of values over which decisions are made (e.g., between goods worth a few dollars, in some cases, or hundreds of dollars, in others). According to adaptive coding theories (Barlow, 196...
