A novel framework for text-independent speaker verification is proposed. The framework is based on a new interpretation of Universal Background Model. The UBM in our framework actually defines a transform which maps the variable length observation into a fixed dimensional supervector(supervector space). Each speech utterance is then mapped into a point in this supervector space. The similarity ...

In a production study, Bulgarian, English and German verses with regular poetic metrical metres of different types and elicited prose utterances with varied accentual patterns are produced in textual and iterative (dada) form and measured at syllable level according to the pairwise variability index (PVI) principle. Systematic differences in PVI values show that the measure is sensitive to metr...

Multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) is commonly used to investigate fuzzy information effectively. However, selecting the best alternative not always symmetric because alternatives do have complete information, so asymmetric often involved. Expressing under uncertainty using closed subintervals of [0, 1] beneficial and effective instead crisp numbers from 1]. The goal this paper enhance noti...

In this paper we investigate how note onsets in Turkish Makam music compositions are distributed, and in how far this distribution supports or contradicts the metrical structure of the pieces, the usul. We use MIDI data to derive the distributions in the form of onset histograms, and compare them with metrical weights that are applied to describe the usul in theory. We compute correlation and s...

In this article, we introduce a general concept of fuzzy operators. These operators are then used to generalize the possibilistic conditioning formulation proposed by Nguyen [1]. This generalization depends on the relation which exists between this conditioning and the probabilistic t-norm. By using other t-norms, other conditionings are obtained, and their properties are studied. One applicati...

Often, about the same real-life system, we have both measurementrelated probabilistic information expressed by a probability measure P (S) and expert-related possibilistic information expressed by a possibility measure M(S). To get the most adequate idea about the system, we must combine these two pieces of information. For this combination, R. Yager – borrowing an idea from fuzzy logic – propo...

INTRODUCTION Determination of sex from an unknown human bone is an important role in forensic and anthropology field. The mandible is the largest and hardest facial bone, that commonly resist post mortem damage and forms an important source of information about sexual dimorphism. AIM To determine the sex of unknown human adult mandible using metrical parameters. MATERIAL AND METHODS A rando...
