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 ...
We describe the design of Kaldi, a free, open-source toolkit for speech recognition research. Kaldi provides a speech recognition system based on finite-state transducers (using the freely available OpenFst), together with detailed documentation and script ...
Hypersingular 4-D integrals, arising in the Galerkin discretization of surface integral equation formulations, are computed by means of the direct evaluation method. The proposed scheme extends the basic idea of the singularity cancellation methods, usuall ...

A generalized matrix product can be formally written as Lambda(sp)(p) Lambda(sp-1)(p-1) ... Lambda(s2)(2) Lambda(s1)(1) where s(i) is an element of {- 1,+ 1} and ( A(1), ..., A(p)) is a tuple of ( possibly rectangular) matrices of suitable dimensions. The ...
The search for robust features for face recognition in uncontrolled environments is an important topic of research. In particular, there is a high interest in Gabor-based features which have invariance properties to simple geometrical transformations. In t ...
For gas-liquid reaction systems with inlet and outlet streams, this paper proposes a linear transformation to decompose the numbers of moles vector into five distinct parts, namely, the extents of reaction, the extents of mass transfer, the extents of inle ...
Dai and Singleton (2000) study a class of term structure models for interest rates that specify the short rate as an affine combination of the components of an N-dimensional affine diffusion process. Observable quantities in such models are invariant under ...
We consider multiple non-colocated sources commu- nicating over a network to a common sink. We assume that the network operation is fixed, and its end result is to convey a fixed linear deterministic transformation of the source data to the sink. This line ...
SIFT-like local feature descriptors are ubiquitously employed in such computer vision applications as content-based retrieval, video analysis, copy detection, object recognition, photo-tourism and 3D reconstruction. Feature descriptors can be designed to b ...
Locally testable codes, i.e., codes where membership in the code is testable with a constant number of queries, have played a central role in complexity theory. It is well known that a code must be a "low-density parity check" (LDPC) code for it to be loca ...
