This paper describes a temporal expression identification and normalization system, ManTIME, developed for the TempEval-3 challenge. The identification phase combines the use of conditional random fields along with a post-processing identification pipeline, whereas the normalization phase is carried out using NorMA, an open-source rule-based temporal normalizer. We investigate the performance v...

In this paper, we propose a two-step method for deconvolution and vocal-tract parameter estimation of (nonGaussian) voiced speech signals. In the first step, the driving input (a non-Gaussian pseudo-periodic positive pulse train) to the vocal-tract filter which can be nonminimum-phase is estimated from speech data by a hagher-order statistics (HOS) based inverse fi lter. I n the second step, au...

To extract subcircuits from a large circuit netlist is an important task that contributes a lot in many fields of computer aided design. In this paper, a novel subcircuit extraction algorithm DECIDE, based on a recursive graph identification scheme as well as a fast graph construction approach is presented. Cooperating with a proper weighting function that assigns a weighting value to each node...

RFID systems should be designed to process a large number of RFID data in real time. Therefore, there have been much research and company studies regarding RFID data processing. One of methods is CEP (Complex Event Processing), which can provide a method to process RFID data efficiently. However, previous work is just focused on raw RFID data processing, such as data filtering, the elimination ...

In this paper we propose a systematic methodology that integrates the three main phases of the design of an industrial control system, namely, the identification phase, the tuning of the (PID) feedback controller and the design of a (noncausal) open-loop action. In particular, a first-order-plus-deadtime model of the process is estimated after having filtered properly the data collected in the ...

In this paper a 1-D model for the evolution of inelastic particles in a thermal bath is studied. We derive an equation for the evolution of the probability density of the particles in phase space. The analysis of the homogeneous equation is the main objective of this paper. The existence and uniqueness of this equation is addressed. Finally, we prove that the asymptotic behavior is governed by ...

In the past, researchers solved the problem of choosing the optimum locations for reader antennas in a RFID equipped portal by using an exhaustion approach. However, the drawbacks of the exhaustion approach are that it requires take a long time and that the performance is not acceptable by users. This research uses the GA approach to find the optimum solutions for the portal reader antennas pla...

This letter introduces a new frequency domain approach for either MIMO System Identification or Source Separation of convolutive mixtures in cyclostationary context. We apply the joint diagonalization algorithm to a set of cyclic spectral density matrices of the measurements to identify the mixing system at each frequency up to permutation and phase ambiguity matrices. An efficient algorithm to...
