The purpose of this study is to develop robust techniques for speaker segmentation and clustering with focus on meetings domain. The techniques examined can however be applied to any other domains. Traditional techniques for speaker diarization developed for telephone conversations or broadcast news are based on a single channel input, which is notably different from meetings domain which can h...

nowadays accountancy of human resources has become one. of the most important issues in the field of maintaining human resources in the organizations. there ate different methods to use for controlling human resource that in this essay the major emphasis has been put on degree of replacement or rotation, absenteeism, and the relationship between employees. in accountancy of human resources the ...

The seminal work by Edmonds [9] and Lovász [39] shows the strong connection between submodular functions and convex functions. Submodular functions have tight modular lower bounds, and a subdifferential structure [16] in a manner akin to convex functions. They also admit polynomial time algorithms for minimization and satisfy the Fenchel duality theorem [18] and the Discrete Seperation Theorem ...

This work studies the convex relaxation approach to the left ventricle (LV) segmentation which gives rise to a challenging multi-region seperation with the geometrical constraint. For each region, we consider the global Bhattacharyya metric prior to evaluate a gray-scale and a radial distance distribution matching. In this regard, the studied problem amounts to finding three regions that most c...

A novel multi-channel speech enhancement technique is proposed in the present paper. We focus on the local sparsities of speech signals in contrast to the conventional beamforming and blind source seperation methods. The technique utilizes the difference of local structures in temporary-frequency domain between the target speech and interfering signals for enhancing the target speech. We first ...

In the title compound, C25H26N2OS, the diethyl-substituted benzene ring forms dihedral angles of 67.38 (9) and 55.32 (9)° with the terminal benzene rings. The mol-ecule adopts a trans-cis conformation with respect to the orientations of the di-phenyl-methane and 1,3-di-ethyl-benzene groups with respect to the S atom across the C-N bonds. This conformation is stabilized by an intra-molecular N-H...
