this paper aims at describing the mechanism of german loanwords adaptation with respect to constraints of persian language and within ot framework. consequently the adaptation of consonant clusters and diphthongs as well as the phonemes substituted in loanwords will be examined. prince and smolensky’s (1993) optimality theory with its key notions of faithfulness and markedness constraints is su...

uniparametric, non-parametric methods and ammi model (additive main effects and multiplicative interaction) were used to evaluate the yield stability of ten cotton cultivars at six regions of golestan and mazandaran provinces (baye kola, gharakheil, kalaleh, khan bebein, karkandeh, hashem abad) during two successive years ( 2005 & 2006). the experiment was conducted in randomized complete block...

in order to study the effect of genotype × environment interaction and stability of sugar beet varieties, four cultivars, including shirine, zarghan, laetitia and 7112 hybrid were planted in five major areas near to sugar beet factory of biseton as kangavar, sahneh, chamchamal, dinavar and ravansar for three years (2006-2008) using a randomized complete block designs, with three replications. a...

introduction chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) is cultivated on alarge scale in arid and semiarid environments. terminal drought and heat stress, among other abiotic and biotic stresses, are the major constraints of yield in most regions of chickpea production. the study of the effects of climate change could help to develop adaptation strategies to promote and stabilize crop yield. this research w...

ACOUSTIC MODEL ADAPTATION FOR AUTOMATIC SPEECH RECOGNITION AND ANIMAL VOCALIZATION CLASSIFICATION Jidong Tao, B.Eng., M.S. Marquette University, 2009 Automatic speech recognition (ASR) converts human speech to readable text. Acoustic model adaptation, also called speaker adaptation, is one of the most promising techniques in ASR for improving recognition accuracy. Adaptation works by tuning a g...

Recently, we proposed an improvement to the eigenvoice (EV) speaker adaptation called kernel eigenvoice (KEV) speaker adaptation. In KEV adaptation, eigenvoices are computed using kernel PCA, and a new speaker’s adapted model is implicitly computed in the kernel-induced feature space. Due to many online kernel evaluations, both adaptation and subsequent recognition of KEV adaptation are slower ...

This paper describes some recent experiments on unsupervised language model adaptation for transcription of broadcast news data. In previous work, a framework for automatically selecting adaptation data using information retrieval techniques was proposed. This work extends the method and presents experimental results with unsupervised language model adaptation. Three primary aspects are conside...

This paper proposes an unsupervised, batch-type, class-based language model adaptation method for spontaneous speech recognition. The word classes are automatically determined by maximizing the average mutual information between the classes using a training set. A class-based language model is built based on recognition hypotheses obtained using a general word-based language model, and linearly...

introduction: marginal adaptation of cast restorations is essential for their long-term success. as dentists usually assign ditching of dies to laboratory technicians, and ditching has a significant effect on marginal adaptation, the aim of this study was to compare ditching by laboratory technicians and standard approach on marginal adaptation of cast restoration. materials and methods: in thi...
