We describe a system that can separate and recognize the simultaneous speech of two speakers from a single channel recording and compare the performance of the system to that of human subjects. The system, which we call Iroquois, uses models of dynamics to achieve performance near that of human listeners. However the system exhibits a pattern of performance across conditions that is different f...

The embryonics project proposes a family of cellular architectures with reconfiguration properties inspired by the ontogenesis of multicellular organisms. This paper proposes reliability models for the MICTREE embryonic architecture. The models are used to analyse the reliability of MICTREE arrays with different combinations of spare cells. The methodology followed to attain the models can be u...

This article introduces the application of Generalizability Theory to assessing the reliability of measurements. Generalizability Theory can be used to assess reliability in the presence of multiple sources of error and also can be applied to assess reliability in the presence of different types of sources of error. In particular, the application of Generalizability Theory to measurements invol...

initially on the basis of electronic technology, the researches in the field of reliability have proved their generality, so they can be applied to any technical system including the welding by pressure equipments. The structure of the welding by pressure equipments and their specific characteristics result in a more difficult reliability assurance of this type of systems. In this paper, the re...

The reliability diagram is a common diagnostic graph used to summarise and evaluate probabilistic forecasts. Its strengths lie in the ease with which it is produced and the transparency of its definition. While visually appealing, major long noted shortcomings lie in the difficulty of interpreting the graph visually; for the most part, ambiguities arise from variation in the distribution of for...
