An important goal of an automatic classifier is to learn the best possible generalization from given training material. One possible improvement over a standard learning algorithm is to train several related tasks in parallel. We apply the multi-task learning scheme to a recurrent neural network estimating phoneme posterior probabilities and HMM state posterior probabilities, respectively. A co...

During standing posture, the soleus muscles acts to control sway in the anteroposterior (AP) direction. The soleus muscles bilaterally share a common function during standing tasks. We sought to determine whether common descending inputs, as evidenced by the synchronization of bilateral motor unit pairs, were employed as a strategy to control this common function. Single motor units were record...

We present a conversational telephone speech data set designed to support research on novel acoustic models. Small vocabulary tasks from 10 words up to 500 words are defined using subsets of the Switchboard-1 corpus; each task has a completely closed vocabulary (an OOV rate of 0%). We justify the need for these tasks, describe the algorithm for selecting them from a large corpus, give a statist...

In a pilot study, we investigated the topography of 11 continuous MEG measures for the eyes-opened and eyes-closed condition together with three simple mental tasks (mental arithmetic, visual imagery, word generation). One-minute recordings for each condition from 16 right-handed subjects were analyzed. The electrophysiological measures consisted of 6 spectral band measures together with spectr...

OBJECTIVE To investigate neck muscle activity and postural control in patients with whiplash-associated disorder compared with healthy controls. DESIGN Cross-sectional study with convenience sampling. SUBJECTS Ten females with whiplash-associated disorder (age 37.7 years (21-58), neck pain > 2 years and neck disability index (NDI) > 10) and 10 healthy female controls (age 35.9 years (21-53)...
