According to statistical theory, a method which is based on the hidden Markov model is presented to establish ontology mapping. This method considers concepts as models, and attributes, relations, hierarchies, siblings and rules of the concepts as the states of the HMM, respectively. The models corresponding to the concepts are built by virtue of learning many training instances. On the basis of the best state sequence that is decided by the Viterbi algorithm and corresponding to the instance, mapping between the concepts can be established by maximum likelihood estimation. Experimental results show that this method can improve the precision of heterogeneous ontology mapping effectively.展开更多

The algorithm uses theViterbi algorithm instead of K-means clustering used in the segmental K-means algorithm to determineoptimal state and branch sequences. Based on the optimal sequence, parameters are estimated withmaximum-likelihood as objective functions. Comparisons with the traditional Baum-Welch and segmentalK-means algorithms on various aspects, such as optimal objectives and fundamentals, are made. Allthree algorithms are applied to face recognition. Results indicate that the proposed algorithm canreduce training time with comparable recognition rate and it is least sensitive to the training set.So its average performance exceeds the other two.展开更多

A large hidden Markov model is applied to model the immittance spectral frequency （ISF） parameters in AMR-WB codec to optimally estimate the lost ISFs based on the minimum mean square error （MMSE） rule. The estimated ISFs are weighted with the ones of their previous neighbors to smooth the speech, resulting in the actual concealed ISF vectors. They are used instead of the lost ISFs in the speech synthesis on the receiver. Comparison is made between the speech concealed by this algorithm and by Annex I of G. 722. 2 specification, and simulation shows that the proposed concealment algorithm can lead to better performance in terms of frequency-weighted spectral distortion and signal-to-noise ratio compared to the baseline method, with an increase of 2.41 dB in signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） and a reduction of 0. 885 dB in frequency-weighted spectral distortion.展开更多

It is based on pattern recognition principles and consists of a feature extraction step, by which wavelet transform and principal component analysis are used to capture the inherent characteristics from process measurements, followed by a similarity assessment step using hidden Markov model (HMM) for pattern comparison. In most previous cases, a fixed-length moving window was employed to track dynamic data, and often failed to capture enough information for each fault and sometimes even deteriorated the diagnostic performance. A variable moving window, the length of which is modified with time, is introduced in this paper and case studies on the Tennessee Eastman process illustrate the potential of the proposed method.展开更多

In this approach, a hierarchical hidden Markov model （HHMM） is used to represent a temporal profile of normal behavior in a computer system. The HHMM of the norm profile is learned from historic data of the system＇s normal behavior. The observed behavior of the system is analyzed to infer the probability that the HHMM of the norm profile supports the observed behavior. A low probability of support indicates an anomalous behavior that may result from intrusive activities. The model was implemented and tested on the UNIX system call sequences collected by the University of New Mexico group. The testing results showed that the model can clearly identify the anomaly activities and has a better performance than hidden Markov model.展开更多

Despite that SR systems are working reasonably well in quiet conditions, they still suffer severe performance degradation in noisy conditions or distorted channels. It is necessary to search for more robust feature extraction methods to gain better performance in adverse conditions. This paper investigates the performance of conventional and new hybrid speech feature extraction algorithms of Mel Frequency Cepstrum Coefficient (MFCC), Linear Prediction Coding Coefficient (LPCC), perceptual linear production (PLP), and RASTA-PLP in noisy conditions through using multivariate Hidden Markov Model (HMM) classifier. The behavior of the proposal system is evaluated using TIDIGIT human voice dataset corpora, recorded from 208 different adult speakers in both training and testing process. The theoretical basis for speech processing and classifier procedures were presented, and the recognition results were obtained based on word recognition rate.展开更多

Yet, another type of urban research innovations that involve interdisciplinary thinking and methods remains underdeveloped. This paper represents an attempt to adopt a Hidden Markov Model(HMM) toolbox developed in Computer Science for the analysis of eye movement patterns in Psychology to answer urban mobility questions in Geography. The main idea is that both people’s eye movements and travel behavior follow the stop-travel-stop pattern, which can be summarized using HMM. Methodological challenges were addressed by adjusting the HMM to analyze territory-wide travel survey data in Hong Kong, China. By using the adjusted toolbox to identify the activitytravel patterns of working adults in Hong Kong, two distinctive groups of balanced(38.4%) and work-oriented(61.6%) lifestyles were identified. With some notable exceptions, working adults living in the urban core were having a more work-oriented lifestyle. Those with a balanced lifestyle were having a relatively compact zone of non-work activities around their homes but a relatively long commuting distance. Furthermore, working females tend to spend more time at home than their counterparts, regardless of their marital status and lifestyle. Overall, this interdisciplinary research demonstrates an attempt to integrate spatial, temporal, and sequential information for understanding people’s behavior in urban mobility research.展开更多

The proposed model, named ‘decomposed hidden Markov model’ (DHMM), combines spatial decomposition and hierarchical abstraction to capture multi-modal, long-term dependent and multi-scale characteristics of activities. Decomposition in space and time offers conceptual advantages of compaction and clarity, and greatly reduces the size of state space as well as the number of parameters. DHMMs are efficient even when the number of persons is variable. We also introduce an efficient approximation algorithm for inference and parameter estimation. Experiments on multi-person activities and multi-modal individual activities demonstrate that DHMMs are more efficient and reliable than familiar models, such as coupled HMMs, hierarchical HMMs, and multi-observation HMMs.展开更多

This paper proposes a hybrid method of using genetic algorithm （GA） and simulated annealing （SA） to train HMM for discrete channel modelling. The proposed method is compared with pure GA, and experimental results show that the HMMs trained by the hybrid method can better describe the error sequences due to SA＇s ability of facilitating hill-climbing at the later stage of the search. The burst error statistics of the HMMs trained by the proposed method and the corresponding error sequences are also presented to validate the proposed method.展开更多

Most of the previ- ous works on spectrum sensing and dynamic spe- ctrum access consider the sensing effective- ness and spectrum utilization as the design cri- teria, while ignoring the energy related issues and QoS constraints. In this article, we propose a QoS provisioning energy saving dynamic acc- ess policy using stochastic control theory con- sidering the time-varying characteristics of wir- eless channels because of fading and mobility. The proposed scheme determines the sensing action and selects the optimal spectrum using the corresponding power setting in each decis- ion epoch according to the channel state with the objective being to minimise both the flame error rate and energy consumption. We use the Hidden Markov Model （HMM） to model a wir- eless channel, since the channel state is not dir- ectly observable at the receiver, but is instead embedded in the received signal. The proced- ure of dynamic spectrum access is formulated as a Markov decision process which can be sol- ved using linear programming and the primal- dual index heuristic algorithm, and the obta- ined policy has an index-ability property that can be easily implemented in real systems. Sim- ulation results are presented to show the per- formance improvement caused by the propo- sed approach.展开更多

The proposed method is compared with pure GA, and experimental results show that the HMMs trained by the hybrid method can better describe the error sequences due to SA＇s ability of facilitating hill-climbing at the later stage of the search. The burst error statistics of the HMMs trained by the proposed method and the corresponding error sequences are also presented to validate the proposed method.

文摘Dynamic spectrum access policy is crucial in improving the performance of over- lay cognitive radio networks. Most of the previ- ous works on spectrum sensing and dynamic spe- ctrum access consider the sensing effective- ness and spectrum utilization as the design cri- teria, while ignoring the energy related issues and QoS constraints. In this article, we propose a QoS provisioning energy saving dynamic acc- ess policy using stochastic control theory con- sidering the time-varying characteristics of wir- eless channels because of fading and mobility. The proposed scheme determines the sensing action and selects the optimal spectrum using the corresponding power setting in each decis- ion epoch according to the channel state with the objective being to minimise both the flame error rate and energy consumption. We use the Hidden Markov Model （HMM） to model a wir- eless channel, since the channel state is not dir- ectly observable at the receiver, but is instead embedded in the received signal. The proced- ure of dynamic spectrum access is formulated as a Markov decision process which can be sol- ved using linear programming and the primal- dual index heuristic algorithm, and the obta- ined policy has an index-ability property that can be easily implemented in real systems. Sim- ulation results are presented to show the per- formance improvement caused by the propo- sed approach.

文摘In this paper,we present a comparison of Khasi speech representations with four different spectral features and novel extension towards the development of Khasi speech corpora.These four features include linear predictive coding(LPC),linear prediction cepstrum coefficient(LPCC),perceptual linear prediction(PLP),and Mel frequency cepstral coefficient(MFCC).The 10-hour speech data were used for training and 3-hour data for testing.For each spectral feature,different hidden Markov model(HMM)based recognizers with variations in HMM states and different Gaussian mixture models(GMMs)were built.The performance was evaluated by using the word error rate(WER).The experimental results show that MFCC provides a better representation for Khasi speech compared with the other three spectral features.
文摘Because performance parameters of gear have degradation,a method is proposed to recognize and analyze its faults using the hidden Markov model( HMM). In this method,firstly,the delayed correlation-envelope method is used to extract features from vibration signals. Then,HMMs are trained respectively using data under normal condition,gear root crack condition and gear root breaking condition. Further,the trained HMMs are used in pattern recognition and model assessment. Finally,the results from standard HMM and the proposed method are compared, which shows that the proposed methodology is feasible and effective.
