The performance of an automatic speech recognition system heavily depends on the used feature set. Quality of speech recognition features is estimated by classification error, but then the recognition experiments must be performed, including both front-end and back-end implementations. We propose a method for features quality estimation that does not require recognition experiments and accelera...

Object-oriented languages have recently become common, making register indirect jumps more important than ever. In objectoriented languages, virtual functions are heavily used because they improve programming productivity greatly. Virtual function calls usually consist of register indirect jumps, and consequently, programs written in objectoriented languages contain many register indirect jumps...

We employ a recently proposed model [Murisic et. al, JFM 2013] to study a finite-volume, particle-laden thin film flowing under gravity on an incline. For negatively buoyant particles with concentration above a critical value, the similarity solution is of the rarefaction-singular shock type. We investigate the structure in detail and find that the particle/fluid front advances linearly to the ...

This paper outlines a theory of analogical reasoning based on a process-model of problem solving by analogy and the hypothesis that problem solving and learning are inalienable, concurrent processes in the human cognitive system. The analogical problem solver exploits prior experience in solving similar problems, and, in the process, augments a hierarchically-structured epsiodic long term memor...
