This paper presents a word level confidence scoring technique based on a combination of multiple features extracted from the output of a phonetic classifier. The goal of this research was to develop a robust confidence measure based strictly on acoustic information. This research focused on methods for augmenting standard log likelihood ratio techniques with additional information to improve th...

One of the problems that government managers deal with are medical inventory management in COVID-19 conditions. Based on this situation, best strategy for managing and reducing costs can be Vendor-Managed Inventory (VMI) policy recent decade. Therefore, a hybrid fuzzy data-driven robust optimization Resilience Sustainable Health Care Supply Chain (RSHCSC) VMI approach is appropriate improving s...

A result in the Bayesian inventory management literature is: If lost sales are not observed, the Bayesian optimal inventory level is larger than the myopic inventory level (one should “stock more” to learn about the demand distribution). This result has been proven in other studies under the assumption that inventory is perishable, so the myopic inventory level is equal to the Bayesian optimal ...

We study a two-level uncapacitated lot-sizing problem with inventory bounds that occurs in a supply chain composed of a supplier and a retailer. The first level with the demands is the retailer level and the second one is the supplier level. The aim is to minimize the cost of the supply chain so as to satisfy the demands when the quantity of item that can be held in inventory at each period is ...
