A hierarchical framework is proposed to address the issues of modeling different type of words in keyword spotting (KWS). Keyword models are built at various levels according to the availability of training set resources for each individual word. The proposed approach improves the performance of KWS even when no training speech is available for the keywords. It also suggests an easier way to co...

This article reviews the literature in the search for the multifaceted applications of data mining (DM), business intelligence (BI), and knowledge management (KM). The literature review highlights the overviews of DM, BI, and KM; the practical applications of DM, BI, and KM; and the prospects of DM, BI, and KM in terms of marketing, business, human resources, and manufacturing. DM plays a key r...

We introduce bi-capacities as a natural generalization of capacities (or fuzzy measures) through the identity of Choquet integral of binary alternatives with fuzzy measures. We examine the underlying structure and derive the Möbius transform of bi-capacities. Next, the Choquet and Sugeno integrals w.r.t bicapacities are introduced. It is shown that symmetric and asymmetric integrals are recover...
