Programmable electronic interlocking system plays key role in railway operation and is closely related to railway accidents, in which the programmable electronic controller of interlocking system may become sources. Redundant digital controllers are adopted as the interlocking controllers to prevent the accidents from the controllers being out of order. The redundant digital controllers being fault tolerant are realized through dual or triplex controllers. In this paper, we calculated safety and availability of the redundant digital controllers using Markov models, demonstrated key part to determine the availability ana the safety.

The vector Taylor series (VTS) based method usually employs clean speech Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) when compensating speech feature vectors or adapting the parameters of trained HMMs. It is well-known that noisy speech HMMs trained by the Multi-condition TRaining (MTR) and the Multi-Model-based Speech Recognition framework (MMSR) method perform better than the clean speech HMM in noisy speech recognition. In this paper, we propose a method to use the noise-adapted HMMs in the VTS-based speech feature compensation method. We derived a novel mathematical relation between the train and the test noisy speech feature vector in the log-spectrum domain and the VTS is used to estimate the statistics of the test noisy speech. An iterative EM algorithm is used to estimate train noisy speech from the test noisy speech along with noise parameters. The proposed method was applied to the noise-adapted HMMs trained by the MTR and MMSR and could reduce the relative word error rate significantly in the noisy speech recognition experiments on the Aurora 2 database.

In this paper we propose an automatic segmentation system that outputs the time alignment information of phoneme boundary using Viterbi search with HMM (Hidden Markov Model) and corrects these results by an UVS (unvoiced/voiced/silence) classification algorithm. We selecte a set of 39 monophones and a set of 647 extended phones for HMM models. For the UVS classification we use the feature parameters such as ZCR (Zero Crossing Rate), log energy, spectral distribution. The result of forced alignment using the extended phone set is 11% better than that of the monophone set. The UVS classification algorithm shows high performance to correct the segmentation results.

Various methods have been proposed to overcome the problem of speech recognition in the noisy conditions. Among them, the model compensation methods like the parallel model combination (PMC) and Jacobian adaptation (JA) have been found to perform efficiently. The JA is quite effective when we have hidden Markov models (HMMs) already trained in a similar condition as the target environment. In a previous work, we have proposed an improved method for the JA to make it more robust against the changing environments in recognition. In this paper, we further improved its performance by compensating the delta-mean vectors and covariance matrices of the HMM and investigated its feasibility in the multi-model structure for the noisy speech recognition. From the experimental results, we could find that the proposed improved the robustness of the JA and the multi-model approach could be a viable solution in the noisy speech recognition.

In this work we present an upscaling technique for multi-scale computations based on a stochastic model calibration technique. We consider a coarse-scale continuum material model described in the framework of generalized standard materials. The model parameters are considered uncertain, and are determined in a Bayesian framework for the given fine scale data in a form of stored energy and dissipation potential. The proposed stochastic upscaling approach is independent w.r.t. the choice of models on coarse and fine scales. Simple numerical examples are shown to demonstrate the ability of the proposed approach to calibrate coarse scale elastic and inelastic material parameters.

Developing accurate prediction models for deterioration behavior represents a challenging but essential task in comprehensive Infrastructure Management Systems. The challenge may be a result of the lack of historical data, impact of unforeseen parameters, and/or the past repair/maintenance practices. These realities contribute heavily to the noticeable variability in deterioration behavior even among similar components. This paper introduces a novel approach to predict the deterioration of any infrastructure component. The approach is general as it fits any component, however the prediction is custom for a specific item to consider the inherent impacts of expected and unexpected parameters that affect its unique deterioration behavior.

손으로 쓴 글씨는 인쇄체와 달리 많은 변형이 있다는 점이 한글 필기 인식에서 가장 큰 장애물로 통한다. 본 논문에서는 이점을 해결하면서 필기에 대한 제한을 대폭 줄인 온라인 한글 인식 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 봉넷(BongNet)은 온라인 한글 필기를 인식하기 위한 네트워크 모델이다. 글씨 인식에 들어가는 여러가지 정보를 네트워크라는 틀 안에 표현한 것 인데, 기본적으로 네트워크 구조 자체가 표현하는 정적 글자 구조 정보와, 글꼴에 따라 달라지는 것으로써 노드간 확률적 이동을 나타내는 동적 정보를 포함한다. 본 모델에 따르면 한글 인식은 네트워크 안에서 최적 경로를 따라 초, 중, 종성 자소열을 찾는 문제로 변환된다. 동적 프로그래밍 기법을 이용하여 그 경로를 찾는 인식 알고리즘은 입력 데이타의 양에 정비례하는 효율성을 갖는다.

본 논문은 반향 제거 평균 예측 LMS 알고리즘을 이용하여 반향 잡음에 강인한 연속 음성 인식 모델인 CHMM 모델을 구성하는 방법을 제안하였다. 변화하는 반향 잡음에 적응하고 연속 음성 인식 성능 향상을 위한 반향 잡음 제거 평균 예측 LMS 알고리즘을 이용하여 CHMM 모델을 구성하였다. 제안한 알고리즘에 의해 구성된 CHMM 모델에 대하여 연속 인식 성능을 평가하였다. 실험 결과 변화하는 환경 잡음을 제거하여 얻은 음성의 SNR은 평균 1.93dB이 향상되었고 연속 음성의 인식률은 2.1% 향상되었다.

This paper considers a reverse supply chain with simultaneous recovery of used products and manufacturing of brand-new ones. Recovered products are downgraded and have to be sold in a market different from that of brand-new products at a different price. In case of a shortage of recovered product inventory, a brand-new item, if available, can be offered at the price of a recovered product. In other words, one-way demand substitution is allowed. We address the joint decision of when to manufacture brand-new product, when to recover returned product, and how to control demand substitution to maximize the hybrid production system's profits. To this end, we propose a Markov decision Process model and investigate the structure of the optimal policy. Performance comparison is numerically implemented between the models with and without downward demand substitution option under different operating conditions of the system parameters.

In this paper, we analytically evaluate packet delay and energy consumption of S-MAC protocol with a modified Markov chain model. Although some models, based on IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol, to analyze the S-MAC protocol in wireless sensor network (WSN) have been proposed, they fail to consider the differences in architecture between the S-MAC and the 802.11 MAC. Therefore, by reflecting the significant features in the S-MAC function, we model the operation of S-MAC protocol, and derive its packet delay and energy consumption in single-hop WSN. Numerical results show the delay and the dissipated energy at various duty cycle values according to offered load, where a practical mote is used.
