We describe and analyze a discriminative algorithm for learning to align a phoneme sequence of a speech utterance with its acoustical signal counterpart by predicting a timing sequence representing the phoneme start times. In contrast to common HMM-based a ...
We introduce a new discretization scheme for Maxwell equations in two space dimension. Inspired by the new paradigm of Isogeometric analysis introduced in Hughes et al. (2005) [16], we propose an algorithm based on the use of bivariate B-splines spaces sui ...
It has been known for decades that the metabolic rate of animals scales with body mass with an exponent that is almost always 2/3, and often very close to 3/4. The 3/4 exponent emerges naturally from two models of resource distribution networks, radia ...
In the 60's, control, signals and systems had a common linear algebraic background and, according to their evolution, their respective backgrounds have now dramatically differed. Recovering such a common background, especially in the nonlinear context, is ...
In this note we introduce a vector generalization of fractional Brownian motion. Our definition takes into account directional properties of vector fields-such as divergence, rotational behaviour, and interactions with coordinate transformations-that have ...

In this paper we present modeling and control of a multicable suspended mechanism called the ‘2D SpiderCrane’. The use of cables, and thus avoiding conventional heavy components, makes such a mechanism suitable for working at high transfer speeds. The init ...
The family of natural evolution strategies (NES) offers a principled approach to real-valued evolutionary optimization by following the natural gradient of the expected fitness. Like the well-known CMA-ES, the most competitive algorithm in the field, NES c ...

Let A be a commutative noetherian ring of Krull dimension 3. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for A-projective modules of rank 2 to be free. Using this, we show that all the finitely generated projective modules over the algebraic real 3-sphere ...
The behavior of the discrete spectrum of the Schr"odinger operator −\D−V, in quite a general setting, up to a large extent is determined by the behavior of the corresponding heat kernel P(t;x,y) as t→0 and t→∞. If this behavior is powe ...
