This paper describes a preliminary work on prosody modeling aspect of a text-to-speech system for Thai. Specifically, the model is designed to predict symbolic markers from text (i.e., prosodic phrase boundaries, accent, and intonation boundaries), and then using these markers to generate pitch, intensity, and durational patterns for the synthesis module of the system. In this paper, a novel method for annotating the prosodic structure of Thai sentences based on dependency representation of syntax is presented. The goal of the annotation process is to predict from text the rhythm of the input sentence when spoken according to its intended meaning. The encoding of the prosodic structure is established by minimizing speech disrhythmy while maintaining the congruency with syntax. That is, each word in the sentence is assigned a prosodic feature called strength dynamic which is based on the dependency representation of syntax. The strength dynamics assigned are then used to obtain rhythmic groupings in terms of a phonological unit called foot. Finally, the foot structure is used to predict the durational pattern of the input sentence. The aforementioned process has been tested on a set of ambiguous sentences, which represents various structural ambiguities involving five types of compounds in Thai.

소프트웨어 재사용을 위한 새로운 패러다임으로서 대두되고 있는 소프트웨어 프로덕트 라인에서 가장 중요하며, 기본이 되는 것은 바로 재사용 가능한 소프트웨어 자산을 개발하기 위한 프로덕트 라인의 공통성과 가변성 식별이라고 하겠다. 현재 이를 위해 휘처 중심의 도메인 분석 방법이 많이 사용되고 있으나, 이 방법은 휘처를 식별하고, 식별된 휘처의 근거를 제시하기 위한 체계적인 방법을 제공하지 못하고 있다. 또한 프로덕트의 공통성과 가변성 분석 결과가 프로덕트 라인 개발 조직의 최상위 수준 목표(goals)를 만족시키고, 그 근거를 보여줄 수 있어야 하지만 현재 이러한 부분에 대한 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존의 휘처 중심의 도메인 분석 방법에서의 문제점들을 해결하고, 보안하기 위해 프로덕트 라인을 위한 목표, 시나리오, 휘처 기반의 도메인 분석 방안을 제안하였다. 이것은 목표와 시나리오 그리고 휘처의 관계를 통하여 프로덕트 라인을 위한 도메인 요구사항 모델(DRM: domain requirements model)을 제시하고, 그러한 모델을 바탕으로 도메인 요구사항 모델링 방법(domain requirements modeling method)을 제안한다. 마지막으로는 제안된 방안을 지원하는 도구 (IDEAS)를 설명하고, 이를 통해 주택 통합 시스템(HIS)에 적용함으로써 제안된 방법을 검증하였다. 제안된 방법은 체계적으로 휘처를 식별하고, 그에 대한 근거 및 공통성과 가변성에 대한 근거를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

This paper aims to propose articulatory features as novel predictors for automatic pronunciation assessment of English produced by Korean learners. Based on the distinctive feature theory, where phonemes are represented as a set of articulatory/phonetic properties, we propose articulatory Goodness-Of-Pronunciation(aGOP) features in terms of the corresponding articulatory attributes, such as nasal, sonorant, anterior, etc. An English speech corpus spoken by Korean learners is used in the assessment modeling. In our system, learners' speech is forced aligned and recognized by using the acoustic and pronunciation models derived from the WSJ corpus (native North American speech) and the CMU pronouncing dictionary, respectively. In order to compute aGOP features, articulatory models are trained for the corresponding articulatory attributes. In addition to the proposed features, various features which are divided into four categories such as RATE, SEGMENT, SILENCE, and GOP are applied as a baseline. In order to enhance the assessment modeling performance and investigate the weights of the salient features, relevant features are extracted by using Best Subset Selection(BSS). The results show that the proposed model using aGOP features outperform the baseline. In addition, analysis of relevant features extracted by BSS reveals that the selected aGOP features represent the salient variations of Korean learners of English. The results are expected to be effective for automatic pronunciation error detection, as well.

Wind tunnel experiment was carried out to study the cross-wind layer forces on a square cross-section building model using a synchronous multi-pressure sensing system. The stationarity of measured wind loadings are firstly examined, revealing the non-stationary feature of cross-wind forces. By converting the measured non-stationary wind forces into an energetically equivalent stationary process, the characteristics of local wind forces are studied, such as power spectrum density and spanwise coherence function. Mathematical models to describe properties of cross-wind forces at different layers are thus established. Then, a conditional simulation method, which is able to ex-tend pressure measurements starting from experimentally measured points, is proposed for the cross-wind loading. The method can reproduce the non-stationary cross-wind force by simulating a stationary process and the corresponding time varying amplitudes independently; in this way the non-stationary wind forces can finally be obtained by combining the two parts together. The feasibility and reliability of the proposed method is highlighted by an ex-ample of across wind loading simulation, based on the experimental results analyzed in the first part of the paper.

The central seam, the vertical 'line' between doors, in the front view of a refrigerator must have its gap and flush within certain ranges to meet functional and aesthetic requirements. The conventional criteria for gap and flush control in the industry are to keep the gap and flush within certain ranges at each of various points along the seam. For aesthetics, however, the uniformity of the gap is also as important because a 'tapered' seam is negatively perceived by human eyes. This paper shows a case study of tolerance design for a refrigerator door system. It presents a step-by-step procedure, which consists of datum flow chain analysis, identification of assembly features, computer modeling of feature tolerances, assembly operations and measurements, tolerance simulation, and tolerance adjustments based on the simulation results. It is found that extra care may need to be used to satisfy the aesthetical criterion for gap uniformity.

The reconfigurable architecture is increasingly important for design of multi-mode communication systems and computation-intensive DSP systems. The proposed coarse-grain architecture is based on a reconfigurable processing element consisting of a MAC unit, a register file, a context data register, and PE interconnect control blocks. The main feature of the Proposed architecture is the loop context which enables faster configuration. Also, we propose another area-efficient reconfigurable architecture with improved reconfigurability. The SystemC modeling results show that the proposed architecture can reduce 9 clock cycles of 2D DCT compared to existing architectures.

By using image recognition technology, this paper presents a new fault diagnosis method for rotating machinery with artificial immune algorithm. This method focuses on the vibration state parameter image. The main contribution of this paper is as follows: firstly, 3-D spectrum is created with raw vibrating signals. Secondly, feature information in the state parameter image of rotating machinery is extracted by using Wavelet Packet transformation. Finally, artificial immune algorithm is adopted to diagnose rotating machinery fault. On the modeling of 600MW turbine experimental bench, rotor's normal rate, fault of unbalance, misalignment and bearing pedestal looseness are being examined. It's demonstrated from the diagnosis example of rotating machinery that the proposed method can improve the accuracy rate and diagnosis system robust quality effectively.

In this paper, a vector control method for a AC-Excited BLSM(Brushless Synchronous Motor) is proposed. The BLSM has a feature that separate exciter is not needed for excitation. The proposed method is described in two parts as follow, one is the design of drive and the other is a modeling for its implementation. Rotor flux is estimated using indirect sensing method based on voltage equation in the synchronously rotation reference frame. And rotor position is calculated from rotor angular velocity and stator current. Through computer simulation results of this proposed system, it is shown that the BLSM drive has a ability of precision torque control from the static and dynamic performance.

Applying more features gives us better accuracy in modeling; however, increasing the inputs causes the curse of dimensions. In this paper, a new structure has been proposed for fault detecting and identifying (FDI) of high-dimensional systems. This structure consist of two structure. The first part includes Auto-Encoders (AE) as Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) to produce feature engineering process and summarize the features. The second part consists of the Local Model Networks (LMNs) with LOcally LInear MOdel Tree (LOLIMOT) algorithm to model outputs (multiple models). The fault detection is based on these multiple models. Hence the residuals generated by comparing the system output and multiple models have been used to alarm the faults. To show the effectiveness of the proposed structure, it is tested on single-shaft industrial gas turbine prototype model. Finally, a brief comparison between the simulated results and several related works is presented and the well performance of the proposed structure has been illustrated.
