Nonlinear filter generators are common components used in the keystream generators for stream ciphers and more recently for authentication mechanisms. They consist of a Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) and a nonlinear Boolean function to mask the linearity of the LFSR output. Properties of the output of a nonlinear filter are not well studied. Anderson noted that the m-tuple output of a no...

The paper presents a comparison of various soft computing techniques used for filtering and enhancing speech signals. The three major techniques that fall under soft computing are neural networks, fuzzy systems and genetic algorithms. Other hybrid techniques such as neuro-fuzzy systems are also available. In general, soft computing techniques have been experimentally observed to give far superi...

We introduce a complexity measure for decision trees called the soft rank, which measures how wellbalanced a given tree is. The soft rank is a somehow relaxed variant of the rank. Among all decision trees of depth d, the complete binary decision tree (the most balanced tree) has maximum soft rank d, the decision list (the most unbalanced tree) has minimum soft rank √ d, and any other trees have...

A heterogeneous associative model. represented as an associative frame, and uses associative vectors to facilitate fast backtracking. The vectors are indexed with respect to the base of the current frame. Variable aliases are indicated by filter vectors and are tracked by the alias management table. T...

We present several results that show that systematic (complete) judgment aggregators can be viewed as both (2-valued) Boolean homomorphisms and as syntatic versions of reduced (ultra)products. Thereby, Arrovian judgment aggregators link the Boolean algebraic structures of (i) the set of coalitions (ii) the agenda, and (iii) the set of truth values of collective judgments. Since filters arise na...

Employing a recently introduced framework, within which a large number of classical and modern adaptive lter algorithms can be viewed as special cases, a generic, variable step-size adaptive lter has been presented. Variable Step-Size (VSS) Normalized Least Mean Square (VSSNLMS) and VSS A ne Projection Algorithms (VSSAPA) are particular examples of adaptive algorithms covered by this generic va...

Wavelet shrinkage denoising methods are widely used for estimation of biological signals from noisy environment. The popular Hard and Soft thresholding filters are commonly used in these methods. In this paper shrinkage method based on a New Thresholding filter for denoising of biological signals is proposed. The efficacy of this filter is evaluated by applying this filter for denoising of ECG ...

In this paper the concept of soft fuzzy filter on X, soft fuzzy prime filter on X, soft fuzzy ultrafilter on X, soft fuzzy minimal prime filter collections are introduced. The concept of soft fuzzy limit space (X, ltτ ) and the related properties are discussed. The functor ι from the collection of soft fuzzy filters F(X) to the collection of filters on X and the functor ω defined from the colle...
