The first stage in many pattern recognition tasks is to generate a good set of features from the observed data. Usually, only a single feature space is used. However, in some compl...
This paper presents a framework for maximum a posteriori (MAP) speaker adaptation of state duration distributions in hidden Markov models (HMM). Four key issues of MAP estimation, ...
Perceptual audio coders use an estimated masked threshold for the determination of the maximum permissible just-inaudible noise level introduced by quantization. This estimate is d...
We investigate whether asynchronous computational models and asynchronous algorithms can be considered for designing real-time distributed fault-tolerant systems. A priori, the lac...
This paper describes a group communication system called the timewheel group communication system that has been designed for a timed asynchronous distributed system model. The tim...
