Analyzing Hidden Trajectory Models (HTMs) of Vocal Tract Resonators for Phoneme Recognition System


Original works on phoneme recognition by Li Deng and his colleagues (Microsoft) published in 2000-2010 have been translated and are analyzed in the paper. The main trend of these publications is associated with developing the model for hidden trajectory parameters of vocal resonators. The development shows the functional relation of linear prediction coefficient dynamics to vocal tract resonator parameters having been smoothed by FIR-filter. Statistical model for the relation given is introduced and optimized. The model developed is completed with continuity equation to determine FIR-filter features for each phonetic state. The author also introduces an alternative optimization diagram to estimate parameters of a statistic model.

Method of Weighted Least Squares for Image Analysis


A method of making a feature description for image areas based on analyzing image gradient vector orientations using a method of weighted least squares (WLSF method) is proposed. For a large class of images the method is sure to be a success in solving the problem of matching key points. The advantage of WLSF method compared to SURF method while analyzing noisy images is proved.

Using Maximum Likelihood Estimations of Fractal Dimension in Non-Gaussian Statistics to Detect Radio Signals

The article deals with solving the problem of detecting objects by their radar images received from a radar station with a synthetic aperture based on their fractal properties. Maximum likelihood estimation for correlation dimension is proved to be a sufficient statistics for the above problem being solved. Fractal detector of radio signal is synthesized and analyzed using Gaussian statistics approximation and based on exponent distribution. Optimum energy-fractal complex detector is synthesized. Analytical expressions for detection characteristics are obtained.

Applying Principles of Digital Adaptive Filtering to Control a Dynamic Object with Unknown Mathematical Model

One of the methods to control continuous oscillatory objects with unknown mathematical model based on principles of direct and inverse adaptive modeling is considered. Two simultaneous adaptive processes for object control are formed in the system being investigated, namely the process of adaptive identification (direct object modeling) and the process of forming control effect (inverse modeling). Adaptive object models are realized as adaptive transversal filters with weights being estimated by least square method in real-time mode. Unlike traditional closed systems for automatic control there is no physical negative feedback between output and input in adaptive structure being considered; functional feedback being closed via adaptive process takes place instead. The methods being proposed enable to minimize the errors of control and damp oscillations as well as compensate random low frequency drift for the output signal of the object being controlled. The results of simulation system modeling prove the effectiveness of methods mentioned above.
