Physiologically-motivated synchrony-based processing for robust automatic speech recognition

An important attribute of the peripheral processing is a novel mechanism to represent the cycle-by-cycle synchrony in the response of low-frequency auditory-nerve fibers, in addition to the more conventional processing based on mean rate of response. It is shown that the use of the physiologically-motivated peripheral processing improves recognition accuracy in the presence of both broadband and transient noise, and that the use of the synchrony mechanism provides further improvement beyond that which is provided by the mean rate mechanism.

Distortion-class modeling for robust speech recognition under GSM RPE-LTP coding

During recognition, the a posteriori probabilities of an utterance are calculated as a weighted sum of the posteriors corresponding to the individual models. The phonemes used by the systemÕs word pronunciations are grouped into classes according to amount of distortion they undergo in coding. The acoustic model used in the decoding process is a weighted combination of models derived from clean speech and models derived from speech that had been degraded by GSM coding (the source models), with the relative combination of the two sources depending on the extent to which each class of phonemes is degraded by the coding process. To determine the distortion class membership, and hence the weights, we measure the spectral distortion introduced to the quantized long-term residual by the RPE-LTP codec. We discuss how this distortion varies according to phonetic class. The method described reduces the degradation in recognition accuracy introduced by GSM coding of sentences in the TIMIT database by more than 70% relative to the baseline accuracy obtained in matched training and testing conditions with respect to a system using the source acoustic models, and up to 60% relative to the best baseline systems regardless of the number of Gaussians.

Contrasting arc and MORB-like assemblages in the Paleoproterozoic Flin Flon Belt, Manitoba, and the role of intra-arc extension in localizing volcanic-hosted massive sulphide deposits

Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, 1999

The orebodies are restricted to isotopically juvenile volcanic-arc sequences, dated at 1.903-1.881 Ga at Flin Flon. Sequences of ca. 1.904-1.901 Ga back-arc and ocean-plateau basalts and related plutonic rocks, structurally juxtaposed with the arc assemblages at 1.880-1.870 Ga, are not known to contain economic base metal deposits. The juvenile arc tectono-stratigraphic assemblages are generally marked by older and stratigraphically lower tholeiitic submarine volcanic packages (ca. 1.903-1.886 Ga) that are observed or interpreted to be overlain by extensive and lithologically varied sequences of calc-alkaline and alkaline (shoshonitic) arc rocks and arc rift deposits (ca. 1.888-1.881 Ga). VMS deposits occur in both the tholeiitic and calc-alkaline arc sequences, but the 62 Mt Flin Flon deposit occurs in a 1.903 Ga tholeiitic primitive arc package. It can be demonstrated that for the Flin Flon - Callinan - Triple 7, Cuprus, and White Lake VMS deposits, whose stratigraphic context is preserved, deposition of the massive sulphides was temporally associated with inferred arc rifting processes. Critical observations for arc rifting include evidence for extensional faulting, erosion, and development of unconformities; extrusion of MORB-like basalts and associated rhyolites; and development of depositional basins with thick sequences of shoshonitic turbidites. As has been proposed for other major VMS camps (e.g., Kuroko, Kidd Creek, Bathurst), arc rifting can generate the loci of sustained high heat flow and fluid pathways required for the development of long-lived hydrothermal convection systems.

Risk factors for post-traumatic osteoarthritis of the ankle: an eighteen year follow-up study

Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study including consecutive patients treated by open reduction and internal fixation for malleolar fracture between January 1988 and December 1997. Perioperative information was obtained retrospectively. Patients were evaluated clinically and radiographically 12-22 years postoperatively. Radiographic ankle OA was determined on standardised radiographs using the Kellgren and Lawrence scale (grade 3-40 advanced OA). Uni-and multivariate regression analyses were performed to determine risk factors for OA. Results During the inclusion period, 373 fractures (372 patients; 9% Weber A, 58% Weber B, 33% Weber C) were operated upon. The mean age at operation was 42.9 years. There were 102 patients seen at follow-up (mean follow-up 17.9 years). Those not available did not differ in demographics and fracture type from those seen. Advanced radiographic OA was present in 37 patients (36.3%). Significant risk factors were: Weber C fracture, associated medial malleolar fracture, fracture-dislocation, increasing body mass index, age 30 years or more and length of time since surgery.
