The cerebellum is a key area for movement control and sensory-motor plasticity. Its medial part is considered as the exclusive cerebellar center controlling the accuracy and adaptive calibration of saccadic eye movements. However, the contribution of other zones situated in its lateral part is unknown. We addressed this question in healthy adult volunteers by using magnetic resonance imaging (M...

The implementation of case based reasoning (CBR) adaptation in parametric mechanical design can generate the design solution to unknown design problem by adapting similar solutions from other problems already solved. Classical weighted mean (WM) method is a common statistic adaptation method because of its domain independent and easily to be implemented, but with lower adaptation accuracy. A ne...

This paper proposes several new speaker adaptation techniques to improve the large vocabulary continuous speech recognition accuracy. These include, discriminative adaptation, state-quality measure based adaptation, and N-best hypothesis based adaptation schemes. We propose to incorporate the MMIE criterion in the computation of the posterior counts from the adaptation data. We present a new me...

Semi-Lagranging schemes have been explored by several authors recently for transport problems in particular for moving interfaces using level set method. We incorporate the backward error compensation method developed in [2] into the semi-Lagranging schemes with almost the same simplicity and three times the complexity of a first order semi-Lagranging scheme but improve the order of accuracy. W...

We show that any conservative scheme for solving scalar conservation laws in two space dimensions, which is total variation diminishing, is at most first-order accurate.

This paper presents The following Applications of Optimal adaptation hypothesis to solve some of the standard problems of optimal adaptation This method random select some nodes in the interval of integration in the beginning. The number of object parameters as well as the number of associated Evolution Strategies parameters can be adapted during the Optimal adaptation. This new method presents...

We propose a discretization scheme for a numerical solution of elliptic PDE’s, based on local representation of functions, by their Taylor polynomials (jets). This scheme utilizes jet calculus to provide a very high order of accuracy for a relatively small number of unknowns involved.

Residual distribution schemes are discussed in the context of higher order spatial discretization for hyperbolic conservation laws. The discrete solution is globally continuous, defined by a Finite Element space based on triangular Lagrangian Pk elements. A natural subtriangulation of these elements allows the reuse of simple distribution formula previously developed for linear P1 triangles. Th...
