Task domain independent speech keyword detection system by HAN Jiang, LIU Xiao-xing, YAN Yong-hong, ZHANG Peng-yuan

“…A multiple scale acoustic modeling framework for task-domain independent keyword spotting was proposed.A large-scale phoneme set was obtained automatically through decision-tree based phoneme clustering,and a large-scale phoneme acoustic context dependent background model was trained accordingly through using standard HMM training framework.The modeling accuracy for filler speech is improved.Under the framework,an efficient searching space construction through using shared HMM state was also described.Experimental results showed that in average absolute 6.9% improvement of keyword recognition accuracy could be obtained.Furthermore an acoustic context neighbor algorithm to measure acoustic confidence and a method of computing candidate keyword likelihood based on proposed multiple-scale acoustic model were proposed and a fusing method based on FLDA was adopted.The effectiveness of acoustic confidence measure is improved significantly.Experimental results showed that absolute 3.0% reduction of equal error rate could be obtained.…”

Secondary throughput maximization scheme for non-linear energy harvesting cognitive radio networks by Haijiang GE, Ning JIA, Kaikai CHI, Yunzhi CHEN

“…Aiming at a cognitive radio network (CRN) consisting of a pair of primary users and M pairs of secondary users, the secondary throughput maximization for CRN based on the non-linear energy harvesting model was studied.Specifically, in the case of considering secondary transmitter (ST) circuit power, the secondary throughput maximization (STM) problem with primary users’ throughput demands was first modeled as a non-linear optimization problem and then transformed into a convex optimization problem.Finally, a low-complexity algorithm combining the golden section and dichotomy was proposed.By applying this low-complexity algorithm, the optimal time allocation of the primary transmitter (PT)’s energy transmission and secondary users’ information transmission, and the optimal transmission power of PT were obtained.In addition, for the case of neglecting the ST circuit power, the convex property of the STM problem was first proved, and then a more efficient algorithm was designed to solve it.The simulation results show that compared with the equal time allocation method and the link gain priority method, the proposed design algorithm significantly improves the throughput of secondary users.…”

Adaptive Gaussian back-end based on LDOF criterion for language recognition by Zhong-fu YE, Ting QI, Sai-feng LI, Yan SONG

“…In order to alleviate the mismatch in model between training and testing samples caused by inter-language variations,adaptive Gaussian back-end based on LDOF criterion was proposed for language recognition.The local distance-based outlier factor (LDOF) criterion was defined to find the appropriate model parameters and dynamically select the training data subset similar to the testing samples from multiple class training sets.Then original back-end was adjusted to obtain a more matched recognition model.Experimental results on NIST LRE 2009 easily-confused language data set show that proposed method achieves an obvious performance improvement on both the equal error rate (ERR) and average decision cost function.…”

Optimal combined distinguisher of stream cipher with multiple independent distinguishing characters by Hai-ying GAO, Chen-hui JIN

“…It is an open problem to combine many distinguishing characters to construct a distinguisher with more advantage.An optimal combined distinguisher based on multiple independent distinguishing characters was proposed.The computing method of distinguishing advantage of this combined distinguisher was presented and the conclusion was given that the data complexity decreased on the condition of same distinguishing advantage,and the distinguishing advantage increased on the condition of the same data complexity when more distinguishing characters were used in distinguishing attack.Let N denote the data complexity of distinguisher with only one character,then the data complexity of combined distinguisher with k-independent characters was about N/k for special case that all distinguishing advantages of k-independent characters were equal.…”
