Abstract One of the fundamental problems in speech engineering is phoneme segmentation. Approaches to phoneme segmentation can be divided into two categories: supervised and unsupervised segmentation. The approach of this paper belongs to the 2nd category, which tries to perform phonetic segmentation without using any prior knowledge on linguistic contents and acoustic models. In an earlier wor...

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have been shown to be vulnerable against adversarial examples (AEs), which are maliciously designed cause dramatic model output errors. In this work, we reveal that normal (NEs) insensitive the fluctuations occurring at highly-curved region of decision boundary, while AEs typically over one single domain (mostly spatial domain) exhibit exorbitant sensitivity on such ...

OBJECTIVE To explore effective combinations of computational methods for the prediction of movement intention preceding the production of self-paced right and left hand movements from single trial scalp electroencephalogram (EEG). METHODS Twelve naïve subjects performed self-paced movements consisting of three key strokes with either hand. EEG was recorded from 128 channels. The exploration w...

The Mahalanobis-Taguchi System (MTS) is a relatively new collection of methods proposed for diagnosis and forecasting using multivariate data. It consists of two main parts: Part 1, the selection of useful variables in order to reduce the complexity of multi-dimensional systems and part 2, diagnosis and prediction, which are used to predict the abnormal group according to the remaining us...

The present work is a comparative study of four different subjects’ achievements such as mathematics, English, general sciences, and social studies between two student groups in the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR) Assam, India. Three types are considered viz., tribal nontribal, boys girls, rural urban from secondary higher schools BTR. Mahalanobis Distance (MD) used to calculate difference dy...

FCM (fuzzy c-means algorithm) based on Euclidean distance function converges to a local minimum of the objective function, which can only be used to detect spherical structural clusters. The added fuzzy covariance matrices in their distance measure were not directly derived from the objective function. In this paper, an improved Normalized Clustering Algorithm Based on Mahalanobis distance by t...

9 ABSTRACT: Aiming at long registration time and mismatch problems resulted by images that exist local region similar or generated SIFT vector similar in the traditional SIFT registration method, a fine registration method based on geometric constraints of block and parallel architecture is put forward. This method using SIFT algorithm parallelly extract feature points to calculate initial tran...
