Reliability assessment in presence of epistemic uncertainty leads to consider the failure probability as a quantity depending on state knowledge about uncertain input parameters. The joint distribution is often learnt from small-sized dataset provided by operating experience. computed depends estimated marginal distributions and copula distribution. This paper develops reliability-oriented sens...

In this contribution we present an improved estimator for the speech presence probability at each time-frequency point in the short-time Fourier-transform domain. In contrast to existing approaches this estimator does not rely on an adaptively estimated and thus signal dependent a priori signal-to-noise ratio estimate. It therefore decouples the estimation of the speech presence probability fro...

1. Introduction In very simple terms, speech synthesis is the process of making the computer talk. As such, speech synthesisers offer another means of providing spoken language input to the learner in CALL environments. Indeed, many potential benefits (ease of creation and editing of speech examples, generation of various kinds of modified input, generation of speech models and feedback on dema...

Joint uncertainty decoding has recently achieved promising results by using front-end uncertainty in the back-end in a mathematically consistent framework. One drawback of the method is that it relies on stereo-data or numerical algorithms, such as DPMC, which have high computational complexity and are difficult to deploy in real applications. We propose a Vector Taylor Series (VTS) approach to...

In a speech last month to the annual meeting of the American Economic Association, Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan said,“The Federal Reserve’s experiences over the past two decades make it clear that uncertainty is not just a pervasive feature of the monetary policy landscape; it is the defining characteristic of that landscape.” And he gave some examples of how the Fed made decisions about policy ...
