For two-class discrimination, Ref. [1] claimed that, when covariance matrices of the two classes were unequal, a (class) unbalanced dataset had a negative effect on the performanc...
Existing standard speech coders can provide speech communication of high quality while they degrade the performance of speech recognition systems that use the reconstructed speech...
This paper presents a Hierarchical Context Hidden Markov Model (HC-HMM) for behavior understanding from video streams in a nursing center. The proposed HC-HMM infers elderly behav...
Abstract—Si photonic wire waveguides are attractive for constructing various optical devices that are extremely small because the waveguides can be bent with extremely small curv...
