Introducing pronunciation models into decoding has proven beneficial for LVCSR. As Minimum Phone Error (MPE) training has almost become a standard scheme for acoustic modeling, a discriminative pronunciation modeling method is investigated under the framework of MPE training. In order to bring the pronunciation models into MPE training, the auxiliary function of MPE training is rewritten at wor...

Based on the combination of improved Local Mean Decomposition (LMD), Multi-scale Permutation Entropy (MPE) and Hidden Markov Model (HMM), the fault types of bearings are diagnosed. Improved LMD is proposed based on the self-similarity of roller bearing vibration signal by extending the right and left side of the original signal to suppress its edge effect. First, the vibration signals of the ro...

[Abstract] In this paper, the transport efficiency of Multi Protocol Encapsulation (MPE), Unidirectional Lightweight Encapsulation (ULE) and Generic Stream Encapsulation (GSE) for typical IP packet sizes is compared. Moreover, the aggregated efficiency when applying packet-level forward error correction (PL-FEC) with MPE, ULE and GSE is also analyzed. MPE-FEC is the mechanism used by DVB-H wher...

Using the central observation that margin-based weighted classification error (modeled using Minimum Phone Error (MPE)) corresponds to the derivative with respect to the margin term of margin-based hinge loss (modeled using Maximum Mutual Information (MMI)), this article subsumes and extends margin-based MPE and MMI within a broader framework in which the objective function is an integral of MP...

© 2016 Egyptian Journal of Neurosurgery. All rights reserved Myxopapillary ependymoma is a benign slow-growing tumour, arising predominantly in the region of the filum terminale. It has been designated histologically as grade I neoplasm according to the 2007WHO classification (1). Despite this benign character dissemination and metastasis along the cerebrospinal axis and metastasis to distant s...

Understanding the transition of brain activities towards an absence seizure, called pre-epileptic seizure, is a challenge. In this study, multiscale permutation entropy (MPE) is proposed to describe dynamical characteristics of electroencephalograph (EEG) recordings on different absence seizure states. The classification ability of the MPE measures using linear discriminant analysis is evaluate...

PURPOSE Oxcarbazepine (OXC) is a promising alternative for patients who cannot tolerate carbamazepine. Recently, however, it has been reported that OXC-induced cutaneous adverse drug reactions (cADRs) are prevalent and may lead to drug discontinuation. Additionally, these reactions are thought to be associated with HLA-B*1502. This study aims to investigate the incidence, features and risk fact...

Allen’s Interval Algebra (IA) and Vilain and Kautz’s Point Algebra (PA) consider an interval and a point as basic temporal entities (i.e., events) respectively. However, in many real world situations we often need to deal with recurring events that include multiple points, multiple intervals or combinations of points and intervals. Recently, we presented a multiple-point event (MPE) framework t...

In this paper we study stochastic games with many players; such games are relevant for a wide range of social, economic, and engineering applications. The standard solution concept for such games is Markov perfect equilibrium (MPE), but it is well known that MPE computation becomes intractable as the number of players increases. Further, MPE demands a perhaps implausible level of rationality on...

The present study was aimed at characterizing the effects of Withania somnifera (Wse) and Mucuna pruriens (Mpe) on a Drosophila melanogaster model for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). In particular, the effects of Wse and Mpe were assessed following feeding the flies selectively overexpressing the wild human copper, zinc-superoxide dismutase (hSOD1-gain-of-function) in Drosophila motoneuron...
