Among applications that require number recognition, the focus has largely been on connected digit recognizers. In this paper, we introduce an acoustic model topology for natural number recognition by using minimum classification error (MCE) training of inter-word context dependent models of the head-body-tail (HBT) type. Experimental results on natural number applications involving dollar amoun...

This paper presents a systematic unfolding transformation technique to transform bit-serial architectures into equivalent digit-serial ones. The novel feature of the unfolding technique lies in the generation of functionally correct control circuits in the digit-serial architectures. Bit-serial systems process one bit of a word or sample in a clock cycle. For some applications bit-serial archit...

rl novel, hybrid number representation is proposed in this paper. It includes the two’s complement representation and the signed-digit representation ar special cases. Such a hybrid representation is capable of bounding the mazimum length of carry propagation chains during addition. Thus, one can select a specific hybrid number representation that limits the maximum length of all the carry prop...

The symbolic number comparison task has been widely used to investigate the cognitive representation and underlying processes of multi-digit processing. The standard procedure establish numerical distance compatibility effects in such paradigms usually entails asking participants indicate larger two presented Arabic numbers rather than smaller number...

INTRODUCTION Keeping balance of the upright stance is a highly practiced daily task for healthy adults and is effectively performed without overt attentional control in most. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of concurrent cognitive tasks on postural sway in healthy participants. METHODS This was a prospective study. 20 healthy volunteer subjects were included...

The well known binary and decimal representations of the integers, and other similar number systems, admit many generalisations. Here, we investigate whether still every integer could have a finite expansion on a given integer base b, when we choose a digit set that does not contain 0. We prove that such digit sets exist and we provide infinitely many examples for every base b with |b| ≥ 4, and...
