Epidemicity indices and reproduction numbers from infectious disease data in connected human populations

Andrea Rinaldo, Cristiano Trevisin, Lorenzo Mari, Marino Gatto

We focus on distinctive data-driven measures of the fate of ongoing epidemics. The relevance of our pursuit is suggested by recent results proving that the short-term temporal evolution of infection spread is described by an epidemicity index related to th ...

Boosting of contextual information in ASR for air-traffic call-sign recognition

Petr Motlicek, Juan Pablo Zuluaga Gomez

Contextual adaptation of ASR can be very beneficial for multi-accent and often noisy Air-Traffic Control (ATC) speech. Our focus is call-sign recognition, which can be used to track conversations of ATC operators with individual airplanes. We developed a t ...
