Modeling speech processing and recognition in the auditory system using the multilevel hypermap architecture
Authors: Bernd Brückner, Thomas Wesarg
Venue: Self-Organizing neural networks: recent advances and applications (2001)

The Multilevel Hypermap Architecture (MHA) is an extension of the hypermap introduced by Kohonen. By means of the MHA it is possible to analyze structured or hierarchical data (data with priorities, data with context, time series, data with varying exactness), which is difficult or impossible to do with known self-organizing maps so far. In the first section of this chapter the theorectical work of the previous years about the MHA and its learning algorithm are summarized. After discussion of a simple example, which demonstrates the behavior of the MHA, results from MHA applications for classification of moving objects and analysis of images from functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) are given. In the second section on application using the MHA with in a system for speech processing and recognition will be explained in detail. Our approach to the implementation of this system is the simulation of the human auditory system model. The goal of this system is to combine two different abstraction levels, a more biological level for peripheral auditory processing and the abstract behavior of an artificial neural network. The multistage model consists of the coupled models of neural signal processing at three different levels of the auditory system. A model of peripheral auditory signal processing by the cochlea forms the input stage of the overall model. This model is capable of generating spatio-temporal firiing rate patterns of the auditory nerve for simple acoustic as well as speech stimuli. An uniform lateral inhibitory neural network (LIN) system performs an estimation of the spectrum of the speech stimuli by spatial processing of the cochlear model's neural response patterns. Finally, the Multilevel Hypermap Architecture is used for learning and recognition of the spectral representations of teh speech stimuli provided by the LIN system
Comparison of two touchpad-based methods for numeric entry
Authors: Poika Isokoski, Mika Käki
Venue: Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems: Changing our world, changing ourselves (2002)

Small hand-held touchpads can be used to replace stylus-based digitizing tablets when the use of a stylus is not convenient. In text entry tasks where the writing surface is held in a hand the error rate becomes a problem. The small size of strokes compared to the width of the fingertip and the additional imprecision caused by the interaction of the pad and finger movements make input very imprecise. We describe a new improved clock-face based stroke system for entering numbers with a touchpad. In a 20-session user study with 6 users we found slightly better throughput of successfully entered numbers with the proposed new system. This advantage was mainly due to lower error rate with the new system. User preference similarly slightly favored the new system over an earlier straightforward proposal based on the clock metaphor

Effectiveness of a computer-based feedback system for writing
Authors: Kamala Anandam, Ed Eisel, Lorne Kotler
Venue: Proceedings of the 18th annual Southeast regional conference (1980)

Miami-Dade Community College has developed a computer-based instructional management program that assists faculty in providing individualized feedback to their students about writing and keeps meticulous records of students' writing and faculty's feedback activities. The computer system that was used for this program is RSVP (Response System with Variable Prescriptions). The term "prescriptions" in the name RSVP stands for individualized feedback statements that are intended to reinforce students for the correctness of their writing, assist them in correcting their errors, and/or expand their understanding of fundamental concepts. Based on designs determined by the faculty, these statements are combined and printed as a cohesive letter of communication from faculty to individual students.The RSVP Feedback Program for Individualized Analysis of Writing was field tested in two community colleges by four faculty. Each participant used the program for one section of a course and not for another at the freshman composition level. The faculty were free to select their own textbooks, teaching methods, and grading policies. The program functioned as a support system.At the end of our experimental study with pre- and post-test measures, we found that the students in the RSVP groups scored significantly higher than those in the non-RSVP groups on the objective test but not on the essay test. We also found in a general attitude questionnaire that the students in all four groups felt more positive toward their classes on writing than toward writing itself, and the students receiving RSVP feedback felt slightly more positive toward writing than did the students in the non-RSVP groups. Finally, we found in an RSVP questionnaire that the students in all the RSVP groups felt quite positive about the feedback program; in an RSVP questionnaire for faculty, we found that two of the four teachers expressed positive reactions toward the program, one expressed negative reactions, and one expressed mixed reactions.As a support system for various configurations of teaching strategies and curriculum materials, the RSVP Feedback Program was intended to give individualized feedback in definable areas of writing such as punctuation, grammar, and diction. On the other hand, holistic scoring--the method used to evaluate the essay tests--spans areas that the totality of instructional activities is intended to cover, although not necessarily addressed by the RSVP Feedback Program. While there was a significant difference between the RSVP and non-RSVP groups on the objective test that focused on the areas covered by the RSVP Feedback Program, there was no significant difference in the holistic scores that represented the "whole" writing. In other words, the RSVP Feedback Program accomplished what it was expected to do, nothing more and nothing less.

User activity histories
Authors: Etienne Pelaprat, R. Benjamin Shapiro
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

Current software interfaces fail to incorporate historical data from user interaction into their design. While some systems exhibit a minimalist use of history in the form of undo and redo, selective menu items, and other static elements, there has been a lack of use of history in the dynamic elements of interaction. We propose a more widespread use of historical data from user-software interaction to augment the desktop and application environment. We believe the use of historical data can improve the user's experience at many different levels. Our approach begins by assuming that everything the user is doing on the desktop is important to them, and that it will be important again in the future.

MRP Strategies Made Easy, Release 3.0D to 3.1I
Authors: CORPORATE SAP Labs Inc.
Venue:  (1999)

:The overall goal of production planning - and the use of planning strategies - is to better serve your customers by reducing: Storage costs Replenishment lead times To reach that goal you should group your materials according to their individual needs. This book will show you how. For instance, you should create as few groups as possible (for better transparency on the shop floor) and as many as necessary (for flexibility). The following examples may provide the criteria to group: Cheap materials, which could be planned-consumption based. It is more important to have these materials permanently available than to run out of them. The effort to plan these materials should be minimal. Expensive materials, or those with long replenishment lead times, which need a more sophisticated planning approach Anyone involved in MRP strategies will find this book indispensable.

A RISC approach to process groups
Authors: Robbert van Renesse, Robert Cooper, Bradford Glade, Patrick Stephenson
Venue: Proceedings of the 5th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Models and paradigms for distributed systems structuring (1992)

ISIS [1], developed at Cornell University, is a system for building applications consisting of cooperating, distributed processes. Group management and group communication are two basic building blocks provided by ISIS. ISIS has been very successful, and there is currently a demand for a version that will run on many different environments and transport protocols, and will scale to many process groups. Furthermore, performance is an important issue. For this purpose, ISIS is being redesigned and rebuilt from scratch [2]. Of particular importance to us is getting the new ISIS system to run well on modern microkernel technology, notably MACH [3] and Chorus [4]. The basic reasoning behind these plans is that microkernels appear to offer satisfactory support for memory management and communication between processes on the same machine, but that support for applications that run on multiple machines is weak. The current IPC mechanisms are adequate only for the simpler distributed applications, as they do not address any of the internal management issues of distribution.The new ISIS system has several well-defined layers. The lowest layers, which implement multicast transport and failure detection, are near completion and currently run on SUN OS using SUN LWP threads, on MACH using C Threads, and on the x-kernel [5]. This system can use several different network protocols at the same time, such as IP, UDP (with or without multicast support), and raw Ethernet. This enables processes on SUN OS, MACH, and Chorus to multicast among each other, even though the environments are very dissimilar. The system makes use of available hardware multicast if possible. It also queues messages if a backlog appears, so that multiple messages may be packed together in a single packet. Using this strategy, the number of messages per second can become very large, and in the current (simple) implementation about 10,000 per second can be sent between distributed SUN OS user processes, a figure that approaches the speed of local light-weight remote procedure call mechanisms. (The current round-trip time on SUN OS over Ethernet is about 3 milliseconds.)
Wavelet-based image registration on parallel computers
Authors: Tarek A. El-Ghazawi, Prachya Chalermwat, Jacqueline Le Moigne
Venue: Proceedings of the 1997 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing (CDROM) (1997)

Digital image registration is very important in many applications, such as medical imagery, robotics, visual inspection, and remotely sensed data processing. NASA s Mission To Planet Earth (MTPE) program will be producing enormous Earth global change data, reaching hundreds of Gigabytes per day, that are collected form different spacecrafts and different perspectives using many sensors with diverse resolutions and characteristics. The analysis of such data requires integration, therefore, accurate registration of these data. Image registration is defined as the process which determines the most accurate relative orientation between two or more images, acquired at the same or different times by different or identical sensors. Registration can also provide the absolute orientation between an image and a map.

The Unwanted Gaze: The Destruction of Privacy in America
Authors: Jeffrey Rosen
Venue:  (2000)

:As reading, writing, shopping, and gossip increasingly take place in cyberspace, the part of our life that can be monitored and searched has vastly expanded. On the Internet, every Web site we visit, every magazine we skim, and the amount of time we spend skimming them creates electronic footprints that can be traced back to us. Many people are discovering that e-mail, even after it is deleted, becomes a permanent record that can be resurrected by employers and prosecutors. In this groundbreaking and unflinching book, Jeffrey Rosen examines the legal, technological, and cultural changes that have undermined our ability to control how much information about ourselves is communicated to others. Rosen argues passionately that privacy is important because it protects us from being judged out of context in a world of short attention spans, a world in which information can easily be confused with knowledge. Accessible and erudite, The Unwanted Gaze is the definitive book about the issue that citizens in our new information economy say they care about most.
