Speech Intelligibility Prediction Using Binaural Processing for Hearing Loss by Xiajie Zhou, Candy Olivia Mawalim, Masashi Unoki

“…Therefore, this study proposes a non-intrusive speech intelligibility prediction method that incorporates the binaural processing for hearing loss. The proposed method simulates the multi-stage binaural processing of the outer, middle, and inner ear and integrates binaural cues through an equalization-cancellation model to mitigate masking effects in noisy environments. …”

Polar codes and polar processing for 6G wireless systems by Kai NIU, Jinchen DAI, Jinnan PIAO

“…As the first type of channel code achieving the channel capacity,polar codes are an important candidate for the 6G data transmission.A polarized processing framework for the 6G systems was proposed.In this framework,in order to fulfill the requirement of ultra-reliable transmission,a high-performance coding scheme of concatenated polar code was designed to approach the channel capacity with finite-length.Then,the polar coded MIMO scheme was devised to match the requirement of the high spectrum efficiency.Finally,the scheme of polar coded non-orthogonal multiple access was investigated to improve the transmission capacity.All these schemes indicate that polar processing can dramatically boost the performance of 6G wireless transmission and become a promising direction.…”

Parameter Optimization of Milling Process for Surface Roughness Constraints by GUO Bin, YUE Caixu, ZHANG Anshan, JIANG Zhipeng, YUE Daxun, QIN Yiyuan

“… In the milling process of 6061 aluminum considering the requirement of controlling the surface roughness of workpiece, artificially selected milling parameters may be conservative, resulting in low material removal rate and high manufacturing cost.Taking the surface roughness as the constraint condition and the maximum material removal rate as the goal, the surface roughness regression model is established based on extreme gradient boosting (XGBOOST) with the spindle speed, feed speed and cutting depth as the optimization objects.The milling parameters of spindle speed, feed speed and cutting depth are optimized by genetic algorithm.The optimal milling parameters are obtained by using the multi objective optimization characteristics of genetic algorithm.It can be seen from the four groups of optimization results that the maximum change of surface roughness is only 0.048μm, while the minimum material removal rate increases by 2458.048mm3/min.While achieving surface roughness, the processing efficiency is improved, and the manufacturing costs are reduced, resulting in good optimization effects, which has a certain guiding role in the actual processing.…”
