Forecasting Brown Sugar Production Using k-NN Minkowski Distance and Z-Score Normalization

Evaluation of Speaker Normalization Methods for Vowel Recognition Using Fuzzy ARTMAP and K-NN

Cardinalities of k-distance sets in Minkowski spaces

A subset of a metric space is a k-distance set if there are exactly k non-zero distances occuring between points. We conjecture that a k-distance set in a d-dimensional Banach space (or Minkowski space), contains at most (k+1) points, with equality iff the unit ball is a parallelotope. We solve this conjecture in the affirmative for all 2-dimensional spaces and for spaces where the unit ball is...

Forecasting Using Neural Network and Fuzzy Time Series: a Relative Study Using Sugar Production Data

This paper reflects a neural network approach together with the methods of fuzzy time series of forecasting sugar production data.On behalf of forecsaters , time series forecasting that have varied variations is an important issue.One of the such process is the agriculture production and its productivity and it is not hold by an stoichastic process because of great non-linear due to great non-l...

Phonetic normalization using z-score in segmental prosody estimation for corpus-based TTS system

Recently, corpus-based text-to-speech (CB-TTS) has been actively studied through the world. Statistical training methods are generally applied for prosodic rules in CB-TTS, and classification and regression tree (CART) is one of the mostly used methods. In this paper, we present an efficient CART training approach of zscore based phonetic normalization. The idea of ours comes from the fact that...

Artificial Neural Network Based Model for Forecasting Sugar Cane Production

Problem statement: The global need for alternative energy source has necessitated the exploration of vast organic agricultural products with a view of processing them for the production of ethanol in commercial quantity. To ascertain a sustainable production of ethanol from processed sugar cane, a predictive model based on non-linearity nature of its production is imperative. This is due to una...
