In this report we start with a revisit to the statistical for mulation of the automatic speech recognition ASR prob lem and identify the factors which might in uence the per formance of the conventional plug in MAP decision rule for ASR We summarize our recent research e orts on a class of robust speech recognition problems in which mismatches between training and testing conditions exist but a...

An active method of suppressing wind auto-oscillations an overground gas pipeline model is considered, which allows the system to be tuned from resonant frequency by changing its design scheme with help a vibration damping device operating on principle one-way con-nection (OWC). A new mathematical vibrations symmetric form natural proposed. Variants models one and two OWC, located in central sp...

In this study, postgraduate theses related to Iznik in the database of Higher Education Institution's National Thesis Center (YÖKTEZ) were evaluated within framework various parameters. context, aim study is reveal general features written about Iznik, which candidate process UNESCO World Heritage List, and determine studies. The pa-rameters determined are type thesis, year thesis was published...

Bayesian optimisation has gained great popularity as a tool for optimising the pa-rameters of machine learning algorithms and models. Somewhat ironically, settingup the hyper-parameters of Bayesian optimisation methods is notoriously hard.While reasonable practical solutions have been advanced, they can often fail tofind the best optima. Surprisingly, there is little theoretical...

We consider families of analytic area preserving maps depending on two pa rameters the perturbation strength and the characteristic exponent h of the origin For these maps are integrable with a separatrix to the origin whereas they asymptote to ows with homoclinic connections as h For xed and small h we show that these connections break up The area of the lobes of the resultant turnstile is giv...

Self-assembly is a ubiquitous physicochemical phenomenon. It is inherent to molecular recognition effects in the biological domain, and thus presents a basis for understanding the constitution and dynamic organization of living beings. However, it is argued in this paper that the very notion of self-assembly presents an incorrect and misleading one for the physical effects that it stands for. S...

This paper presents the IPUS Integrated Process ing and Understanding of Signals architecture to address the traditional perceptual paradigm s shortcomings in complex environments It has two premises the search for correct interpretations of signal processing algorithms SPAs outputs re quires concurrent search for SPAs and control pa rameters appropriate for the environment and interaction betw...

Market mechanisms such as auctions will likely rep resent a common interaction medium for agents on the Internet The Michigan Internet AuctionBot is a ex ible scalable and robust auction server that supports both software and human agents The server manages many simultaneous auctions by separating the interface from the core auction procedures This design provides a responsive interface and tol...

This paper presents new tests to analyze the robust stabilityand/or performance of linear systems with uncertain real parameters.These tests are extensions of the notions of quadratic stability andperformance where the fixed quadratic Lyapunov functionis replacedby a Lyapunov functionwith affine dependence on the uncertain pa-rameters. Admittedly with some conservati...

Abstract This work assesses potential physicochemical, metallic, and radiological contamination of liquid discharges from the phosphoric acid (PA) production unit at coast El Jadida Province in Morocco. The physicochemical parameters: pH, conductivity, salinity, turbidity, total hardness, nitrate, nitrite, orthophosphate, heavy metals were analyzed PA beach samples. 238 U, 232 Th, 226 Ra determ...
