A robust state feedback design subject to placement of the closed loop eigenvalues in a prescribed region of unit circle is presented. Quantitative measures of robustness and disturbance rejection are investigated. A stochastic optimization algorithm is used to effect trade-off between the free design parameters and to accomplish all the design criteria. A numerical example is given to illustra...

On account of the characteristics of online Chinese-Vietnamese topic detection, we propose a Chinese-Vietnamese bilingual topic model based on the Recurrent Chinese Restaurant Process and integrated with event elements. First, the event elements, including the characters, the place and the time, will be extracted from the new dynamic bilingual news texts. Then the word pairs are tagged and alig...

This paper presents a proposal of measuring uncertain modelling referred to a geometrical model obtained from a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM). The measurement of objects by CMM is achieved considering a particular region of measurement described through a set of nitely many points which de nes the ideal reference mesh and it is exposed to, at least, three kinds of error: systematical, alea...

This work introduces new methods for detecting non-scorable tests, i.e., tests that cannot be accurately scored automatically, in educational applications of spoken language proficiency assessment. Those include cases of unreliable automatic speech recognition (ASR), often because of noisy, off-topic, foreign or unintelligible speech. We examine features that estimate signalderived syllable inf...
