In signal processing, the zero-error probability (ZEP) criterion and related algorithm (MZEP) outperforms MSE-based algorithms and yields superior and stable convergence in impulsive noise environment. In this paper, the analysis of the relationship with MSE criterion proves that ZEP criterion has equivalent optimum solution of MSE criterion. Also this work reveals that the magnitude controlled input of MZEP algorithm plays the role in keeping the optimum solution undisturbed from impulsive noise.

Adaptive algorithms based on the criterion of zero-error probability (ZEP) have robustness to impulsive noise and their decision feedback (DF) versions are known to compensate effectively for severe multipath channel distortions. However the ZEP-DF algorithm computes several summation operations at each iteration time for each filter section and this plays an obstacle role in practical implementation. In this paper, the ZEP-DF with recursive gradient estimation (RGE) method is proposed and shown to reduce the computational burden of O(N) to a constant which is independent of the sample size N. Also the weight update of the initial state and the steady state is a continuous process without bringing about any propagation of gradient estimation error in DF structure.

The random variable with an arbitrary value or more is called semi-continuous variable or zero-inflated one in case that its boundary value is more frequently observed than expected. This means the boundary value is likely to be practically observed more than it should be theoretically under certain probability distribution. When the distribution considered is continuous, the variable is defined as semi-continuous and when one of discrete distribution is assumed for the variable, we regard it as zero-inflated. In this study, we introduce the two-part model, which consists of one part for modelling the binary response and the other part for modelling the variable greater than the boundary value. Especially, the zero-inflated regression models are explained by using Poisson distribution and negative binomial distribution. In real data analysis, we employ the zero-inflated regression models to estimate the number of days under extreme heat-wave circumstances during the last 10 years in South Korea. Based on the estimation results, we create prediction maps for the estimated number of days under heat-wave advisory and heat-wave warning by using the universal kriging, which is one of the spatial prediction methods.

The criterion of zero-error probability provides a limitation on error probability functions being used for adaptive systems when the error samples are shifted by the influence of DC-bias noise. In this paper, we employ a bias term in the error distribution and propose a new criterion of the biased zero-error probability with error being zero. Also, by maximizing the proposed criterion on expanded filter structures, a supervised adaptive algorithm has been derived. From the simulation results of supervised equalization, the algorithm based on the proposed criterion yielded zero-centered and highly concentrated error samples without disturbance in the environments of strong impulsive and DC-bias noise.

The biased zero-error probability and its related algorithms require heavy computational burden related with some summation operations at each iteration time. In this paper, a recursive approach to the biased zero-error probability and related algorithms are proposed, and compared in the simulation environment of shallow water communication channels with ambient noise of biased Gaussian and impulsive noise. The proposed recursive method has significantly reduced computational burden regardless of sample size, contrast to the original MBZEP algorithm with computational complexity proportional to sample size. With this computational efficiency the proposed algorithm, compared with the block-processing method, shows the equivalent robustness to multipath fading, biased Gaussian and impulsive noise.

Blind algorithms designed to maximize the probability that constant modulus errors become zero carry out some summation operations for a set of constant modulus errors at an iteration time inducing heavy complexity. For the purpose of reducing this computational burden induced from the summation, a new approach to the estimation of the zero-error probability (ZEP) of constant modulus errors (CME) and its gradient is proposed in this paper. The ZEP of CME at the next iteration time is shown to be calculated recursively based on the currently calculated ZEP of CME. It also is shown that the gradient for the weight update of the algorithm can be obtained by differentiating the ZEP of CME estimated recursively. From the simulation results that the proposed estimation method of ZEP-CME and its gradient produces exactly the same estimation results with a significantly reduced computational complexity as the block-processing method does.

Natural language processing has several ambiguity problems, and English-Korean machine translation especially includes those problems to be solved in each translation step. This paper focuses on resolving part-of-speech ambiguity of English words in order to improve the efficiency of English analysis, which is in part of efforts for developing practical English-Korean machine translation system. In order to improve the efficiency of the English analysis, the part-of-speech determination must be fast and accurate for being integrated with machine translation system. This paper proposes the probabilistic models for part-of-speech determination. We use Penn Treebank corpus in building the probabilistic models. In experiment, we present the performance of the part-of-speech determination models and the efficiency improvement of the machine translation system by the proposed part-of-speech determination method.

본 논문에서는 SCHMM에 적용된 관찰 확률 최대화에 의한 화자 적응 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 SCHMM의 관찰 확률 밀도들이 새로운 화자의 음성 특징을 잘 표현하지 못하는 경우 인식 성능이 저하되는 것을 막기 위하여, 적응 데이터의 각 특징 벡터들이 최대의 관찰 확률을 가질 수 있도록 관찰 확률 밀도를 결정하는 평균 벡터 μ와 분산 행렬 Σ를 기울기 탐색(gradient search) 알고리즘에 의해 반복적으로 적응시켜 주는 방법이다.
