in correcting the garbled letter sequence from a known list of 5,000 city names. The most likely city name is computed by using a discrete HMM, given the recognized letter sequence. The third line refers to the fully integrated approach in which the city name list is expressed as a grammar written in GNF. It offers the possibility to check the efficiency of our integrated approach on a language...

[Pram90] A. Pramanick, S. Reddy, " On the design of path delay fault testable combinational circuits " , Proc. at time t. After the application of the next clock the contents of the even flip-flops of the LFSR are shifted into the odd ones (see Figure 10b) producing the second vector. The content of the first output is derived by XORing the outputs of some flip-flops including the last one. Not...

negative effect is naturally more significant in the more complex domain. The graph for the simple domain crosses the 0 line earlier than the complex domain. That means that learning starts to be useful with weight greater than 0.6 for the simple domain and 0.7 for the complex domain. As we relax the optimality requirement more significantly (with a W = 0.8), macro usage in the more complex dom...

, we can get a measure of the relative importance of certain parameters with respect to the output function. For instance, it is clear that the length of transistor M6 has a bigger effect on the sensitivity of speed to Ld than other parameters. Table 2 summarizes the best choices of each parameter for every performance. The last column is a selection of parameter settings that represent a few o...

In this paper we have presented the NPen ++ system, a neural recognizer for writer dependent and writer independent on-line cursive handwriting recognition. This system combines a robust input representation, which preserves the dynamic writing information, with a neural network integrating recognition and segmentation in a single framework. This architecture has been shown to be well suited fo...

latched before the output signals in the bundle are stable. The algorithm used to detect delay faults in the processing logic of the ASC is similar to that exploited in delay testing of combinational circuits [15]. Basically, the pair of test patterns < , > must be applied to the inputs of the combinational circuit to detect its delay path fault. The pair < , > is made up of < @ , @ >, where an...

At interaction point c, the environment can provide the number of a new instance of the station process. The next behavior expression consists in the new instance interleaved with the installer itself. We have presented a style of LOTOS specification based on synchronization between processes to exchange status information. This style takes full advantage of the capabilities of the control part...

19 and complete calculus for DFOL based on ML systems. Finally we have compared our formalism with other formalisms for the representation and integration of distributed knowledge and reasoning systems. Acknowledgments. We thank all the people of the Mechanized Reasoning Group of IRST and DISA for useful discussions and feedback on the paper. We thank Massimo Benerecetti and Sergio Tessaris for...
