In this paper, we propose to improve speaker verification performance by importing better posterior statistics from acoustic models trained for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). This approach aims to introduce state-of-the-art techniques in ASR to speaker verification task. We compare statistics collected from several ASR systems, and show that those collected from deep neural networks (DNN) ...

Increasing development of using Information and Communication Technology and globalization issue leads to fundamental changes in classic principles of organizations. Hence, neglecting these changes can lead to the organizations failure. Substitution of virtual organization is one of the most important of these changes that many corporations claim. Of crucial necessity is the criterion for measu...

A simple way to encode input patterns is to suppose that each input can be well-approximated by a linear combination of component vectors, where the amplitudes of the vectors are modulated to match the input. For a given training set, the most appropriate set of component vectors will depend on how we expect the modulation levels to behave and how we measure the distance between the input and i...

Consider a large database of questions that test the knowledge of learners (e.g., students) about a range of different concepts. While the main goal of personalized learning is to obtain accurate estimates of each learner’s concept understanding, it is additionally desirable to reduce the number of questions to minimize each learner’s workload. In this paper, we propose a novel method to extrac...

since direct experimental evidence is not available, this must be verified through a modeling approach, providedadequate data be available. many statistical methods are used to study the relation between independent anddependent variables.this research was carried out at the western part of jazmurian basin tlocated in the southeast ofiran. in this paperused ten physical characteristics such as ...

. in order to study the variation for seed yield and its components, 200 accessions of alfalfa (medicago sativa l.) were sown as drilled plots, using alpha designs/unreplicated with two repeated entries with in all of 10 blocks under dry land farming system in kabodarahang research station, hamadan, iran, during 2010 to 2011. data were analyzed for descriptive statistics, correlation, regressio...

most of the environmental threates and resources depletion are direct consequences of human behavior, so altering the behavior could decrease environmental problems. in this regard, identification of the effective factors on behavior would be the first step. lake urmia as a public good, needs public contribution to prevent its more deterioration that could have serious impacts on social welfare...
