We propose a language modeling (LM) approach incorporating interpolated distanced n-grams in a Dirichlet class language model (DCLM) (Chien and Chueh, 2011) for speech recognition. The DCLM relaxes the bag-of-words assumption and documents topic extraction of latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA). The latent variable of DCLM reflects the class information of an n-gram event rather than the topic in...

Language modeling has many applications in a large variety of domains. Performance of this model depends on its adaptation to a particular style of data. Accordingly, adaptation methods endeavour to apply syntactic and semantic characteristics of the language for language modeling. The previous adaptation methods such as family of Dirichlet class language model (DCLM) extract class of history w...

In a specially designed radiation force balance (RFB), low-frequency pulse modulation of the incident ultrasound allows high-accuracy measurement of time-averaged spatially-integrated ultrasound power radiated into a reflectionless water load. Errors characteristic of force sensors are precluded by operating the RFB as a force comparator, without directly measuring force. Equipped with purpose-...

In the Railgun which is used to accelerate objects, electrical energy is used to drive the system. In order to reach hypervelocities, a power supply with immense amount of energy must be used which causes an extra ordinary current on the rail and the armature. This current makes thermal energy by the ohmic attenuation and warms up various points and therefore changes the electrical, thermal and...
