This paper presents the results of formant analysis using a newly developed formant contour model. We model formant contours with a linear combination of formant target values and...
—Patch-based face recognition is a recent method which uses the idea of analyzing face images locally, in order to reduce the effects of illumination changes and partial occlusio...
Sparse modeling is a powerful framework for data analysis and processing. Traditionally, encoding in this framework is performed by solving an 1-regularized linear regression prob...
A core area of phonology is the study of phonotactics, or how sounds are linearly combined. Recent cross-linguistic analyses have shown that the phonology determines not only phon...
— Belief Propagation (BP) and Linear Programming (LP) decodings of Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes are discussed. We summarize results of instanton/pseudo-codeword approach...
