Automated Protection Performance Assessment and Enhancement

Performance Assessment Method for Speech Enhancement Systems

A new method to assess noise reduction algorithms with respect to their ability to enhance the perceived quality of speech is presented. Such algorithms consist of both single-microphone systems and multiple microphone systems. Tests of the presented method show a higher correlation with subjective assessments than any other objective system known by the authors. It is believed that this method...

Automated Performance Assessment for Service-Oriented Middleware

Middleware for Web service compositions, such as BPEL engines, provides the execution environment for services as well as additional functionalities, such as monitoring and self-tuning. Given its role in service provisioning, it is very important to assess the performance of middleware in the context of a Serviceoriented Architecture (SOA). This paper presents SOABench, a framework for the auto...

Automated Video Assessment of Human Performance

Performance assessment is receiving consideration as an alternative to traditional standardized testing in many educational settings. In any performance assessment, there exists a tradeoff between the flexibility of the evaluation rubric and the reliability of the resulting scores. When the evaluation rubric for a set of performances captured on video can be completely specified, the most relia...

Machine Performance Assessment and Enhancement for a Hexapod Machine

The focus of this study is to develop a sensor fused process modeling and control methodology to model, assess, and then enhance the performance of a hexapod machine for precision product realization. Deterministic modeling technique was used to derive models for machine performance assessment and enhancement. Sensor fusion methodology was adopted to identify the parameters of the derived model...
