Previously, a dereverberation method based on generalized spectral subtraction (GSS) using multi-channel least mean-squares (MCLMS) has been proposed. The results of speech recognition experiments showed that this method achieved a significant improvement over conventional methods. In this paper, we apply this method to distant-talking (far-field) speaker recognition. However, for far-field spe...

We apply the graph-structured stack (GSS) to shift-reduce parsing in a Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) parser. This allows the shift-reduce parser to explore all possible parses in polynomial time without resorting to heuristics, such as beam search. The GSSbased shift-reduce parser is 34% slower than CKY in the finely-tuned C&C parser. We perform frontier pruning on the GSS, increasing th...

A modification of the generalized shift-splitting (GSS) method is presented for solving singular saddle point problems. In this kind of modification, the diagonal shift matrix is replaced by a block diagonal matrix which is symmetric positive definite. Semiconvergence of the proposed method is investigated. The induced preconditioner is applied to the saddle point problem and the preconditioned...

The golden section, ϕ = (1 + √5)/2 = 1.618... and its companion ϕ = 1/ϕ = ϕ -1 = 0.618..., are irrational numbers which for centuries were believed to confer aesthetic appeal. In line with the presence of golden sectioning in natural growth patterns, recent EEG recordings show an absence of coherence between brain frequencies related by the golden ratio, suggesting the potential relevance of th...

In fuzzy time series analysis, the determination of the interval length is an important issue. In many researches recently done, the length of intervals has been intuitively determined. In order to efficiently determine the length of intervals, two approaches which are based on the average and the distribution have been proposed by Huarng [4]. In this paper, we propose a new method based on the...

We are concerned with dynamic optimization processes from a viewpoint of Golden optimality. A path is called Golden if any state moves to the next state repeating the same Golden section in each transition. A policy is called Golden if it, together with a relevant dynamics, yields a Golden path. The probelm is whether an optimal path/policy is Golden or not. This paper minimizes a quadratic cri...

A blind dereverberation method based on power spectral subtraction (SS) using a multi-channel least mean squares algorithm was previously proposed to suppress the reverberant speech without additive noise. The results of isolated word speech recognition experiments showed that this method achieved significant improvements over conventional cepstral mean normalization (CMN) in a reverberant envi...

Integration of different energy networks will increase additional flexibility to system operation. The key component in such a coupled infrastructure is the energy router, which plays an important role in energy transition and storage to smoothing the prediction error both in renewables and load. The router has the multi-carrier energy generation capability, and builds physical linkages among t...
