This paper studies the relative effectiveness of different methods for multilingual model combination and dictionary mapping for recognizing a new unseen target language if training data are limited. We examine the crosslanguage transfer from monolingual and multilingual models to German and Russian language for large vocabulary speech recognition using a dictation database which has been colle...

Roof-top mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are becoming an increasingly popular means of incorporating clean energy into the consumption profile of residential users. Electric utilities often allow the inter-connection of such systems to the grid, compensating system owners for electricity production. As the systems grow in number and their contribution to the overall load profile becomes...

Genes account for increasing proportions of variation in cognitive ability across development, but the mechanisms underlying these increases remain unclear. We conducted a meta-analysis of longitudinal behavioral genetic studies spanning infancy to adolescence. We identified relevant data from 16 articles with 11 unique samples containing a total of 11,500 twin and sibling pairs who were all re...

Support Vector Regression (SVR) solves regression problems based on the concept of Support Vector Machine (SVM). In this paper, a new model of SVR with probabilistic constraints is proposed that any of output data and bias are considered the random variables with uniform probability functions. Using the new proposed method, the optimal hyperplane regression can be obtained by solving a quadrati...

a robust and reliable quantitative structure-property relationship (qspr) study was established to forecast the melting points (mps)  of a diverse and long set including 250 drug-like compounds. based on the calculated descriptors by dragon software package, to detect homogeneities and to split the whole dataset into training and test sets, a principal component analysis (pca) approach was used...

acute myocardial infarction is the most important reason of mortality in iran. more than half of these deaths occur without the patient even reaching to a hospital. there is the evidence that patients with better knowledge of the symptoms of mi will seek help earlier. the purpose of this study is to determine how well a predictive model will perform based solely upon patient-reportable clinical...
