Speaker normalization using cortical strip maps: A neural model for steady state vowel categorization
Abstract Auditory signals of speech are speaker dependent, but representations of language meaning are speaker independent. The transformation from speaker-dependent to speaker-independent language representations enables speech to ...

TOWARDS AN ART BASED MATHEMATICAL EDITOR, THAT USES ONLINE HANDWRITTEN SYMBOL RECOGNITION
Abstract A new mathematical editor, based on the recognition of run-on discrete handwritten symbols, is proposed. The tested laboratory prototype of the system, modular and adaptable to the user habits and site requirements, uses a ...

An analysis of Kansei structure on shoes using self-organizing neural networks
Abstract Kansei engineering is a technology for translating human feelings into product design. Several multivariate analyses are used for analyzing human feelings and building rules. Although these methods are reliable, they require ...

Puzzle-solving science: the quixotic quest for units in speech perception
Abstract Although speech signals are continuous and variable, listeners experience segmentation and linguistic structure in perception. For years, researchers have tried to identify the basic building-block of speech perception. In ...

Enhanced neural network shell for application programs
Abstract An enhanced neural network shell for application programs is disclosed. The user is prompted to enter in non-technical information about the specific problem type that the user wants solved by a neural network. The user also ...

Ergonomic man-machine interface incorporating adaptive pattern recognition based control system
Abstract An adaptive interface for a programmable system, for predicting a desired user function, based on user history, as well as machine internal status and context. The apparatus receives an input from the user and other data. A ...

Geographic location using multiple location estimators
Abstract A location system is disclosed for commercial wireless telecommunication infrastructures. The system is an end-to-end solution having one or more location centers for outputting requested locations of commercially available ...

Learn Sesame - A Learning Agent Engine
Abstract Open Sesame!® 1.0—released in 1993—was the world’s first commercial user interface (UI) learning agent. The development of this agent involved a number of decisions about basic design issues that had not been previously ...
