In this paper, a framework of minimum classification error (MCE) model adaptation for continuous density HMMs is proposed based on the approach of "super" string model. We show that the error rate minimization in the proposed approach can be formulated into maximizing a special ratio of two positive functions, and from that a general growth transform algorithm is derived for MCE based model ada...

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY This research integrates successful aging and developmental adaptation models to empirically define the direct and indirect effects of 2 distal (i.e., education and past life experiences) and 5 proximal influences (i.e., physical functioning, cognitive functioning, physical health impairment, social resources, and perceived economic status) on subjective well-being. The pro...

Adaptation to environmental change is a common property of biological systems. Cells initially respond to external changes in the environment, but after some time, they regain their original state. By considering an element consisting of two variables that show such adaptation dynamics, we studied a coupled dynamical system containing such elements to examine the diverse dynamics in the system ...

Cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation (ctDCS) is known to enhance adaptation to a novel visual rotation (visuomotor adaptation), and it is suggested to hold promise as a therapeutic intervention. However, it is unknown whether this effect is robust across varying task parameters. This question is crucial if ctDCS is to be used clinically, because it must have a consistent and robus...
