A solution to the problem of speech recognition with signals corrupted by additive noise and distorted by low-bit rate coders is presented in this paper. The additive noise and the coding distortion are cancelled according to the following scheme: firstly, the pdf of the clean coded-decoced speech is estimated with an additive noise model; second, the pdf of the clean uncoded signal is also est...

The additive clustering (ADCL US) model (Shepard & Arabie, 1979) treats the similarity of two stimuli as a weighted additive measure of their common features. Inspired by recent work in unsupervised learning with multiple cause models, we propose anew, statistically well-motivated algorithm for discovering the structure of natural stimulus classes using the ADCLUS model, which promises substant...

We study the class of additive rules for the quasi-linear bargaining problem introduced by Green. We provide a characterization of the class of all rules that are efficient, translation invariant, additive, and continuous. We present two subfamilies of rules which are nested in each other: the one parameter family of t-Shapley rules and the larger family of weighted coalitional rules, and we di...

BACKGROUND Mapping spatial distributions of disease occurrence and risk can serve as a useful tool for identifying exposures of public health concern. Disease registry data are often mapped by town or county of diagnosis and contain limited data on covariates. These maps often possess poor spatial resolution, the potential for spatial confounding, and the inability to consider latency. Populati...

A decompostion of a superadditlve process into a difference of an additive and a pos[tlve purely superaddltlve process is obtained. This result Is used to prove an ergodic theorem for weighted averages of superaddltlve processes.

We consider a special case of weighted congestion games with playerspecific latency functions where each player uses for each particular resource a fixed (non-decreasing) delay function together with a player-specific constant. For each particular resource, the resource-specific delay function and the playerspecific constant (for that resource) are composed by means of a group operation (such a...

Additive trees have proved to be a valuable alternative to multidimensional scaling for representing proximity data [Sattath & Tversky, 1977]. Especially when the stimuli are conceptual rather than perceptual, an additive tree representation can be very useful [cf. Pruzansky, Tversky, & Carroll, 1982]. A tree is a connected graph where every pair of nodes is connected by a unique path. In an ad...

An improved method for estimating the frequency of a single complex sinusoid in complex additive white Gaussian noise is proposed. The method uses a modified version of the weighted linear predictor to achieve optimal accuracy at low/moderate SNR while retaining its speed and wide acquisition range. Consequently, it has an advantage over known methods that use the weighted phase averager since ...

Quantum stabilizer states over Fm can be represented as self-dual additive codes over Fm2 . These codes can be represented as weighted graphs, and orbits of graphs under the generalized local complementation operation correspond to equivalence classes of codes. We have previously used this fact to classify self-dual additive codes over F4. In this paper we classify selfdual additive codes over ...

The teacher performance appraisal process is carried out through a manual assessment form which will then be given value according to predetermined criteria. Comparative analysis of the Simple Additive Weighting and Weighted Product methods on data by comparing final results obtained from two methods. looking at number criteria used, processing time also ranking results. Based tests that have b...
