This paper presents the GraphSLAM improved by selecting the measurement with respect to their likelihoods. GraphSLAM estimates the robot's path and map by utilizing the entire history of input data. However, GraphSLAM's performance suffers a lot from severely noisy measurements. In this paper, we present GraphSLAM improved by the selective measurement method. Thus the presented GraphSLAM provides higher performance compared with the standard GraphSLAM.

Dragomiretskiy and Zosso (2014) developed a new decomposition method, termed variational mode decomposition (VMD), which is efficient for handling the tone detection and separation of signals. However, VMD may be inefficient in the presence of missing data since it is based on a fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm. To overcome this problem, we propose a new approach based on a novel combination of VMD and hierarchical (or h)-likelihood method. The h-likelihood provides an effective imputation methodology for missing data when VMD decomposes the signal into several meaningful modes. A simulation study and real data analysis demonstrates that the proposed method can produce substantially effective results.

본 논문에서는 서브밴드 및 전 대역(full band)으로부터 얻은 특징 벡터를 함께 사용하여 잡음 환경에서 음성인식 시스템의 성능을 향상시키는 방법을 제안하였다. 이는 인식시 잡음에 오염된 대역에서 얻은 특징 벡터를 제거하는데 따른 정보 손실을 막기 위해 전 대역으로부터 얻은 특징 벡터를 함께 이용하며 신호 대 잡음비가 높은 대역을 강조하여 각 모델에 대한 확률 값을 계산한다. 전화망에서 수집된 데이터베이스를 이용하여 인식 실험을 수행한 결과 비교적 넓은 주파수 대역에 걸쳐 분포된 잡음의 경우에도 인식 성능을 향상시킬 수 있었다.

강우는 수자원 확보 측면에서 근원이 되는 요소이다. 그러므로 정확한 확률강우량 산정은 미래의 가용 수자원량을 예측하는데 있어 중요한 사항중 하나이며 무엇보다 신중한 결정이 요구된다. 또한 하천의 범람에 의한 침수를 예방하는 수공구조물 등의 설계에 있어서는 신뢰할 수 있는 확률강우량 산정이 선행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 최근 우리나라 극치강우확률분포로서 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있는 GEV 분포(GEV-O)를 기반으로 위치 매개변수에 시간의 함수를 고려한 개선된 GEV 분포(GEV-A)를 이용하여 서울지점에 적용함으로서 GEV-O 분포에 의한 확률강우량과 GEV-A 분포로 산정된 확률강우량을 비교 검토하였다. 먼저 임의의 난수 발생을 통해 최우도추정법과 확률가중모멘트법으로 매개변수를 추정한 GEV-O 분포와 최우도추정법으로 매개변수를 추정한 GEV-A 분포의 상대평균제곱근오차 (R-RMSE)를 계산하여 비교함으로서 GEV-A 분포의 효율성을 판단하였다. 사례연구는 1961년부터 2008년까지 서울강우관측소에서 측정된 연최대 1일 강우량으로 하였으며 $X^2$-검정, PPCC-검정으로 적합도 검정을 실시하였다. 강우빈도분석 결과 GEV-A 분포가 GEV-O 분포로 산정된 결과 보다 대체로 재현기간 200년 이상일 경우, 과다 산정되는 경향을 보였다. 추후 개선된 GEV 분포를 서울 인근 지점에 적용함으로서 지역빈도해석(Regional Frequency Analysis)을 실행하기 위한 연구가 진행되어야 할 것이다. 또한 확률홍수량 산정 등에도 개선된 GEV 분포를 이용함으로서 보다 정확하고 신뢰성 있는 확률수문량을 예측하여야 할 것이다.

The maximum likelihood estimation is not robust against outliers in the logistic regression. Thus we propose an algorithm for the robust estimation, which identifies the bad leverage points and vertical outliers by the V-mask type criterion, and then strives to dampen the effect of outliers. Our main finding is that, by an appropriate selection of weights and factors, we could obtain the logistic estimates with high breakdown point. The proposed algorithm is evaluated by means of the correct classification rate on the basis of real-life and artificial data sets. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm is superior to the maximum likelihood estimation in terms of the classification.

In this study, to establish countermeasure from marine casualties as a basic study fur long-term prediction of topographical change around Jinudo in the Nakdong river estuary, spatio-temporal topographical change monitoring was carried out. Also, in order to estimate the deposition variations concerning SS (Suspended Solid) flux which moved at St.S1 during neap and spring tide, respectively. From the topographical monitoring, it was found that the annual mean ground level and deposition rate were 141 mm and 0.36 mm/day and all parts except the northern part of Jinudo had the active topographical changes and a tendency to annually deposit. From vertical distribution of SS net fluxes, $SS_{LH}$ (latitudinal SS net flux) during spring tide overall flows average 28 $kg/m^2/hr$ (eastward), and $SS_{LV}$ (longitudinal SS net flux) flows average 11.1 $kg/m^2/hr$ (northward). And, $SS_{LH}$ overall flows average 4.8 $kg/m^2/hr$ (eastward), and $SS_{LV}$ flows average 1.5 $kg/m^2/hr$ (northward) during neap tide similar with spring tide. The depth averaged values of the latitudinal and longitudinal SS net fluxes during spring tide were approximately 6 times higher than those during neap tide. As result of, it was considered that topographical change of southern part of Jinudo was affected by resuspension of bottom sediments due to strong current in bottom layer during flood flow.

In this paper, we propose a new trajectory model for characterizing segmental features and their interaction based upon a general framework of hidden Markov models. Each segment, a sequence of vectors, is represented by a trajectory of observed sequences. This trajectory is obtained by applying a new design matrix which includes transitional information on contiguous frames, and is characterized as a polynomial regression function. To apply the trajectory to the segmental HMM, the frame features are replaced with the trajectory of a given segment. We also propose the likelihood of a given segment and the estimation of trajectory parameters. The obervation probability of a given segment is represented as the relation between the segment likelihood and the estimation error of the trajectories. The estimation error of a trajectory is considered as the weight of the likelihood of a given segment in a state. This weight represents the probability of how well the corresponding trajectory characterize the segment. The proposed model can be regarded as a generalization of a conventional HMM and a parametric trajectory model. The experimental results are reported on the TIMIT corpus and performance is show to improve significantly over that of the conventional HMM.

In this Paper. a method for improving the performance of automatic speech recognition (ASR) system for conversational speech is proposed. which mainly focuses on increasing the robustness against the rapidly speaking utterances. The proposed method doesn't require an additional speech recognition task to represent speaking rate quantitatively. Energy distribution for special bands is employed to detect the vowel regions, the number of vowels Per unit second is then computed as speaking rate. To improve the Performance for fast speech. in the pervious methods. a sequence of the feature vectors is expanded by a given scaling factor, which is computed by a ratio between the standard phoneme duration and the measured one. However, in the method proposed herein. utterances are classified by their speaking rates. and the scaling factor is determined individually for each class. In this procedure, a maximum likelihood criterion is employed. By the results from the ASR experiments devised for the 10-digits mobile phone number. it is confirmed that the overall error rate was reduced by $17.8\%$ when the proposed method is employed

Measurement noise variance of the radar is one of the main inputs of a state estimator of surveillance data processing system for air traffic control and has influences on the accuracy performance of maneuvering target tracking. A method is presented of estimating measurement noise variances every frame of target tracking using likelihood functions of multiple IMM filter. The results by running of Monte Carlo simulation show that variances are estimated within 5% of errors compared with true values and the tracking accuracy performance is improved.

Longitudinal categorical data commonly occur from medical, health, and social sciences. In these data, the correlation of repeated outcomes is taken into account to explain the effects of covariates exactly. In this paper, we introduce marginalized random effects models that are used for the estimation of the population-averaged effects of covariates. We also review how these models have been developed. Real data analysis is presented using the marginalized random effects.
