The most popular speech feature extractor used in automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems today is the mel frequency cepstral coefficient (mfcc) algorithm. Introduced in 1980,...
A weighted sequence is a string in which a set of characters may appear at each position with respective probabilities of occurrence. A common task is to locate a given motif in a ...
General combinatorial auctions—auctions in which bidders place unrestricted bids for bundles of goods—are the subject of increasing study. Much of this work has focused on alg...
Guided by the goal of obtaining an optimization algorithm that is both fast and yields good generalization, we study the descent direction maximizing the decrease in generalizatio...
