In this work, resistive switching and synaptic behaviors of a TiO2/Al2O3 bilayer device were studied. The deposition Pt/Ti/TiO2/Al2O3/TiN stack was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) energy X-ray dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). initial state before the forming process followed Fowler-Nordheim (FN) tunneling. A strong electric field applied to Al2O3 with large bandgap for FN tunn...

Depth is one of the keys that make neural networks succeed in the task of large-scale image recognition. The state-of-the-art network architectures usually increase the depths by cascading convolutional layers or building blocks. In this paper, we present an alternative method to increase the depth. Our method is by introducing computation orderings to the channels within convolutional layers o...

An essential computational component of the human language faculty is syntax as it regulates how words are combined into sentences. Although its neuroanatomical basis is well-specified in adults, its emergence in the maturing brain is not yet understood. Using event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in a cross-sectional design, we discovered, that in contrast to what is known...

We have developed a method for synthesizing a singing voice by gradually changing the musical expression based on speech morphing. This paper shows the advantages of this method in comparison with the approach of binary discrete transformation between two expressions, confirmed by statistical analyses of perception tests. In order to synthesize different expressional strengths of a singing voic...

This report presents our solution to PAKDD’06 Data Mining Competition. Following a brief description on the task, we discuss the difficulties of the task and explain the motivation of our solution. Then, we propose the GetEnsemble (Gradually Expanded Tree Ensemble) method, which handles the difficulties via ensembling expanded trees. We evaluated the proposed method and several other methods us...

Hess and Dakin reported that normally-sighted subjects using peripheral vision (beyond 10 degrees ) were unable to detect paths of alternating-phase Gabors embedded within randomly positioned Gabors, but could detect same-phase paths. This result led them to propose a "fundamental difference" between central and peripheral visual processing. While we were able to replicate many of their results...
