Automatic speech recognition accuracies of call-canter conversations are still below intended levels due to harsh conditions such as channel distortions, external noises, coarticulated speech, etc. Agglutinative and free word order nature of Turkish degrades the recognition performances further; therefore the usage of confidence measures (CMs) is inevitable to retrieve correct information from ...

Modern software such as word processors, slide preparation/presentation tools, or music composition packages are designed to produce artifacts or performances. Now, some designers are expanding their goals to include creativity support into their software. This essay builds on the genex framework for creativity, which has four phases and eight activities. It focuses on the composition activity ...

Among the most recurrent Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) employment is the biopotential signals monitoring (e.g. electrocardiograms, electroencephalograms, electrogastrograms) that allows transmitting the body organ response from a person. Within the WSN’s focused on bioelectrical studies, the energy analysis is essential indeed, given that sensors are devices of minimal dimensions and implies ba...

Object-based video data representations enable unprecedented functionalities of content access and manipulation. In this paper, we present an integrated approach using region-based analysis for semantic video object segmentation and retrieval. We first present an active system that combines low-level region segmentation with user inputs for defining and tracking semantic video objects. The prop...

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has practically penetrated into all spheres of life. Therefore a closer look at the impact of ICT in public financial management and performance is highly justified. Public finance is defined as a field of economics concerned with paying for collective or governmental activities, and with the administration and design of those activities. Activit...

reactants, reagents, and catalysts. A wide variety of performances of transition-metal catalysts are considerably dependent on the electronic states belonging to d-orbital electrons having dif ferent oxidative or spin states designed by coordinated ligands. To explore high-performance catalysts, analytical investigation based on electronic states is necessary, and theoretical calculations are i...
