This paper presents an adaptive algorithm for compensating pronunciation variations in hidden Markov model (HMM) based speech recognition. The proposed method aims to adapt the HMM topology and the corresponding HMM parameters to meet the variations of speaker dialects. In adaptive HMM topology, two hypothesis test schemes are designed to detect whether a new speaking variation occurs in state/...

Creating a network topology is the first step in building a scenario for a network protocol simulation. The simulation results usually depend on the topology layout, especially for routing and multicasting protocols. Therefore the topology used should be generated with the highest possible accuracy. In particular, protocols designed for the Internet should be simulated over Internet-like topolo...

This paper presents a method for hypothesis verification in automatic road extraction based on the topology of road networks. The method includes the generation of topology of road networks, verification of hypothesized road segments and prediction of missing road segments. The topology of road networks is generated using small scale aerial images as they exhibit a global structure of road netw...

There is a fundamental asymmetry between algebras and their dual objects, coalgebras, namely that the dual of a coalgebra is an algebra, but the converse is only true in finite dimensions. We prove that there exists a differential graded coalgebra whose continuous dual is the differential graded algebra of differential forms. This coalgebra will be constructed as an explicit subspace of de Rham...

Considering a commutative unital quantale L as the truth value table and using the tool of L-generalized convergence structures of stratified L-filters, this paper introduces a kind of fuzzy upper topology, called fuzzy S-upper topology, on L-preordered sets. It is shown that every fuzzy join-preserving L-subset is open in this topology. When L is a complete Heyting algebra, for every completel...

Micro-blogging activity taking place in sites such as Twitter gains everyday more importance as a source of real-time information and news spreading medium. Finding relevant information sources among the increasing number of Twitter members is essential for users needing to cope with real-time information. In this paper we study Twitter aiming at generating a set of recommendations to a target ...

The turn-by-turn directions provided in existing navigation applications are exclusively derived from underlying road network topology information, i.e., the connectivity of edges to each other. Therefore, the turn-by-turn directions are simplified as metric translation of physical world (e.g. distance/time to turn) to spoken language. Such translation that ignores human cognition of the geogra...

Results from simulation models can be used to derive implications for real scenarios only when the model is designed very close to reality. Besides solving the question of how to generate data traffic in the simulation, one has to solve also the problem of how to generate larger realistic topologies. The latter are required in many cases to evaluate protocols and mechanisms with respect to scal...

in this paper‎, ‎we introduce a new model of point free topology‎ ‎for point-set topology‎. ‎we study the basic concepts in this‎ ‎structure and will find that it is naturally close to point-set‎ ‎topology‎.‎

The purpose of this article is to propose a unified theory for topologies on the closed subsets of a metrizable space. It can be shown that all of the standard hyperspace topologies—including the Hausdorff metric topology, the Vietoris topology, the Attouch-Wets topology, the Fell topology, the locally finite topology, and the topology of Mosco convergence—arise as weak topologies generated by ...
