In this paper we describe an approach that both creates crosslingual acoustic monophone model sets for speech recognition tasks and objectively predicts their performance without target-language speech data or acoustic measurement techniques. This strategy is based on a series of linguistic metrics characterizing the articulatory phonetic and phonological distances of target-language phonemes f...

We'll recall (again) some definitions from last time: Definition 1 (Database Update Sequence) Let D ∈ N |X | be any database and let Using the exponential mechanism as a distinguisher, we proved the following utility theorem about the IC mechanism: Theorem 3 Given a B(α)-DUA, the Iterative Construction mechanism is (α, β) accurate and-differentially private for: α ≥ 8B(α/2) nn log C γ and (, δ)...

Reactive power management plays an essential role in the secure operation of the power system as an ancillary service. Although in electricity markets, the particular attention is paid to active power, the reactive power also plays an important on total generation costs of electricity. On the other hand, as it is mainly confined to local consumption, to avoid market power and maintain the se...

Objectives: To counteract grey hole and black attacks, the proposed method deploys a hybrid framework along with Ad hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) routing protocol. A modified protocol is called as SRDAODV (Secure Route Discovery-Adhoc On-Demand Distance Vector). Methods: The work establishes secure route from node discovery, which protects sequential attacks. has three significant compon...

Mobile Ad hoc network consists of a set of mobile nodes. It is a dynamic network which does not have fixed topology. This network does not have any infrastructure or central administration, hence it is called infrastructure-less network. The change in topology makes the route from source to destination as dynamic fixed and changes with respect to time. The nature of network requires the algorit...
