Acoustic characteristics of disguised speech

&#x0D; A group of 13 participants were recorded in two conditions: 1) speaking normally and 2) altering speech to conceal their identity (i.e., disguised speech). Participants were not instructed how to disguise their speech because we were interested in which changes they would choose. A group of inexperienced listeners were largely inaccurate in matching participants' disguised speech to their normal speech. The largest changes between normal and disguised speech were in speaking rate, the first formant, fundamental frequency, and intensity. When listeners made correct matches, the pairs were similar in speaking rate and fundamental frequency (F0), as shown by significant correlations. Incorrectly matched pairs were not significantly correlated, suggesting that listeners were not making good use of acoustic cues during those decisions. Overall, the third formant (F3) and speaking rate appeared to be useful acoustic indicators of identity when matching normal and disguised speech samples. Of those two variables, F3 was apparently underutilised by listeners. The implications for what spontaneous speakers do to disguise their speech and what naïve listeners attend to when identifying disguised voice are discussed.
A Hybrid Recognition System for Islamic Annotation and Historical Arabic Handwritten Manuscripts

In this paper, a multi neural-fuzzy recognition system with two combined statistical features, to solve the recognition problem of Historical Arabic Handwritten (HAH) manuscripts will be presented.  The first set of statistical features are center of mass, crosshair, outlier and blank ink histogram (CCOB).  The second feature is the principal component analysis (PCA). The new method will use two stages (levels) which are based on two classifiers, one public and one private, according to the similar features among characters. In the first level, we built a public classifier to deal with all character groups. Each group contains characters with overlapped features. The public classifier classifies the characters in the segmented character data set, which is captured from HAH manuscripts to specified groups. In the first stage, the system was applied to 34 Arabic characters and achieved 97.15% recognition rate for the tested dataset. In the second level, we created a private classifier for each group to recognize and classify the characters within a group which achieved 99.34% recognition rate for the tested dataset using the two level model.
Graph Management Systems: A Qualitative Survey

In the recent years many real-world applications have been modeled by graph structures (e.g., social networks, mobile phone networks, web graphs, etc.), and many systems have been developed to manage, query, and analyze these datasets. These systems could be divided into specialized graph database systems and large-scale graph analytics systems. The first ones consider end-to-end data management issues including storage representations, transactions, and query languages, whereas the second ones focus on processing specific tasks over large data graphs. In this paper we provide an overview of several graph database systems and graph processing systems, with the aim of assisting the reader in identifying the best-suited solution for her application scenario.

A Flexible State-Space Model with Lagged States and Lagged Dependent Variables: Simulation Smoothing

We provide a simulation smoother to a exible state-space model with lagged states and lagged dependent variables. Qian (2014) has introduced this state-space model and proposes a fast Kalman filter with time-varying state dimension in the presence of missing observations in the data. In this paper, we derive the corresponding Kalman smoother moments and propose an efficient simulation smoother, which relies on mean corrections for unconditional vectors. When applied to a factor model, the proposed simulation smoother for the states is efficient compared to other state-space models without lagged states and/or lagged dependent variables in terms of computing time.
Pengembangan Fasilitas Bimbingan Akademik Online pada Portal Akademik Universitas Andalas

Academic portal of Universitas Andalas is an information system that act as an academic information integrator as well as a means of communication between the campus academic community. Based on preliminary analysis that has been done, the Academic portal of Universitas Andalas functional is still not optimal, especially in terms of academic guidance facilities. The online academic guidance at Universitas Andalas so far still relied on social media applications which are generally in the form of chat applications. Social media usage as a communication facility for online academic guidance is not documented well. Meanwhile, academic guidance documentation is needed due to one of the accreditation assessments components by the National Higher Education Accreditation Board. Besides academic guidance is also a requirement for getting exam card for students. Academic guidance which done face to face, requires students to meet with the supervisor to get signature on the test card. There are several cases where students have not been able to meet face-to-face with a supervisor which resulted in being unable to take the exam. The solution to the problem above is to develop an online academic guidance facility in academic portal of Universitas Andalas. This facility is fulfilled by creating chatting facilities as social media or chatting applications that are often used. For this reason, research is needed to develop online academic guidance facilities. This research aims to develop an online academic guidance facility in academic portal of Universitas Andalas so that academic guidance can be run optimally and are documented. The research method used is a preliminary study to obtain accurate information and data needed, literature study, analysis and system design, implementation, and testing. The testing method used in this study uses black box testing. There are 18 functional requirements obtained based on the analysis. This research has created a portal that has an online academic guidance facility in academic portal of Universitas Andalas. The test results of the system show that the functional system is in accordance with the functional requirement.

La biblioteca integrata: nuovi modelli, nuove tecniche, alcune esperienze europee e italiane

The connection is the contemporary paradigm, from the semantic web to the 4.0 industry, with the integration of information and services into a global dimension. Libraries have always wanted to integrate their collections and services with other institutions of registered memory (archives, museums, foundations, academies), with other subjects linked to education (schools and universities) and with other social institutions (cultural and recreational centers). In particular, the library increasingly integrates its services on a technical level, through computer protocols; the linked data technology makes it possible to connect data coming from different domains, reusing and enriching existing knowledge. The IFLA LRM conceptual model, RDA (the standard for metadata in the digital age) and the data management software, all oriented towards the RDF model, go in this direction; the connection of data allows the reader to discover more and more precisely the resources of his interest. The “navigare” feature for Elaine Svenonius represents the characteristic of the contemporary and future catalogue and takes place thanks to the logical connection between data and concepts. These needs for connection and integration have been implemented by important bibliographic agencies that have developed significant projects. Some European examples are: data.bnf.fr of the BNF, the Swedish national bibliography, the British National Bibliography, datos.bne.es of the Biblioteca Nacional de Espana and the similar project of the Deustche Nationalbibliothek; in Italy: Nuovo Soggettario, SHARE Catalogue, BeWeB.

Tekstuele kenmerken van misleidende journalistiek

Trustworthiness is key in journalism, yet some journalists intentionally deceive their audiences by fabricating sources. In 2014, Dutch journalist Perdiep Ramesar was fired from Trouw, an esteemed national newspaper in the Netherlands, after it was discovered that sources in 126 of his articles were ‘non-verifiable’. This poses the question whether untrustworthy news articles may be recognized, for instance by textual characteristics. Using corpus analysis, we searched for systematic differences in source use and presentation comparing Ramesar’s deceptive news articles with two same-sized sets of reliable articles, 1) articles on similar topics from other journalists, and 2) articles with verifiable sources from Ramesar himself. Results indicate that compared to real news sources, fictitious sources are more often secondary definers, who are presented in more stereotypical ways and through more and longer direct quotations.

Dynamic Reconfigurable Deep Neural NetworkAccelerator

Deep learning is a really hot topic because of itsmassive computation power and has already been used in many areas,such as automobile, stock price prediction, image processing, etc.Under this circumstance, improving the DNN's performance and powerefficiency... is eagerly needed, which blossomed plenty of DeepNeural Network Accelerators. All of these accelerators are tryingto optimize the metrics that people care about. However, differentDNNs(Deep Neural Networks) have different input and outputdimensions. Even the data size of different layers in the same DNNare mainly diverse, which means that the accelerators mentionedpreviously need to map the changeable input data dimension to thefixed hardware resource. We proposed a new architecture that ismade of a lot of PEs(Processor Elements) under the foundation ofSystolic Array and the shape of this PE Array can be dynamicallychanged during DNN layer execution, which could make the hardwarepart more possible to meet with the changeable requirement ofdifferent input data dimensions.
ASSESSMENT OF FEATURE DETECTORS AND DESCRIPTORS IN REMOTE IMAGES OF PLANETARY BODIES

Abstract. Algorithms to detect, describe, and match common features in image sets are expanding to new worlds with the integration of the OpenCV feature matching framework in a popular mapping tool for planetary images (ISIS3). These algorithms provide a new approach to register images and build image-based control networks. However, the natural landscape of the Moon and other planetary bodies pose new challenges such as numerous features that appear similar (i.e., impact craters and boulders). In addition, planetary image sets vary in scale, orientation, and noise properties, especially when conducting cross instrument and cross mission comparisons. This study assesses a collection of common feature detector and descriptor algorithms to examine how they adapt to these challenges. With our analysis, we did not identify an ideal detector and descriptor combination that exists for our diverse lunar dataset. However, we did identify where particular algorithms succeed and identify their shortcomings. By knowing these capabilities, users can identify the proper set of algorithms to apply to an image set given the presence of noise and variations to scale and orientation.
