This paper explores the possibility to replace the usual thresholding decision rule of log likelihood ratios used in speaker verification systems by more complex and discriminant decision functions based for instance on Linear Regression models or Support ...
A multicriteria decision support system has been developed to evaluate alternatives for sustainable and integrated energy centres for rural development in the Mediterranean area. The search for the most suitable solution for a fixed site is a complex probl ...
In the context of multi-modal person authentication, a set of experts (face recognizer, speaker recognizer, etc. ) give their opinion about the identity of an individual. The opinions of the experts can be combined to form a final decision (rejecting or ac ...

We investigate the influence of biased feedback on decision and learning processes in a vernier discrimination task. Subjects adjust their decision criteria and hence their responses according to biased external feedback. However, they do not use learning ...
It is argued that competitive co-evolution is a viable methodology for developing truly autonomous and intelligent machines capable of setting their own goals in order to face new and continuously changing challenges. The paper starts giving an introductio ...
This paper analyses investment decisions under uncertainty with noisy information. We provide closed-form solutions for the value of the investment policy and the optimal investment threshold. We show that when the information about the decision variable i ...
Although many temporal models have been proposed in the literature, there is still need for a conceptual model capturing the essential semantics of time-varying information that is free of implementation concerns. This paper first discusses important crite ...
This paper deals with the conceptual design of a decision aid function for restoration (DAFFOR) of transmission networks after major black-outs, and in particular with real time considerations. Some important characteristics of the proposed DAFFOR are: (a) ...
