Aim The study presents a case series which evaluates the presentation, management and outcome of TMJ dislocation in a tertiary health centre in Nigeria. Materials and methods Case review of 11 patients with TMJ dislocation seen in the University College Hospital (UCH) Ibadan over a period of 10 years. The criteria for the diagnosis of TMJ dislocation were based on history, clinical examinatio...

This paper describes our system for “NEWS 2009 Machine Transliteration Shared Task” (NEWS 2009). We only participated in the standard run, which is a direct orthographical mapping (DOP) between two languages without using any intermediate phonemic mapping. We propose a new two-step conditional random field (CRF) model for DOP machine transliteration, in which the first CRF segments a source wor...

This paper describes a method for determining the vocal tract spectrum from articulatory movements using a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) to synthesize speech with articulatory information. The GMM on joint probability density of articulatory parameters and acoustic spectral parameters is trained using a parallel acousticarticulatory speech database. We evaluate the performance of the GMM-based m...

This paper presents a joint optimization method of a two-step conditional random field (CRF) model for machine transliteration and a fast decoding algorithm for the proposed method. Our method lies in the category of direct orthographical mapping (DOM) between two languages without using any intermediate phonemic mapping. In the two-step CRF model, the first CRF segments an input word into chun...

In this paper, the inverse kinematic control of a 6-DOF robot manipulator is achieved using visual motor coordination (VMC). Here the positional data is converted into image plane data of a pair of cameras. The Redundancy resolution is a prime goal for the robot manipulator with higher dimensional joint space than the task-space. In this work, we present five schemes for this redundancy resolut...
