In this paper, a structural maximum a posteriori (SMAP) speaker adaptation approach to adjusting the speaking rate (SR)-dependent hierarchical prosodic model (SR-HPM) of an existing SR-controlled Mandarin text-to-speech system to a new speaker's data for producing a new voice is discussed. Two main issues are addressed. One is the small SR coverage of the adaptation data and is solved by using the...
The influence from individual preference and circumstance has been considered in the distributed path-planning model which is generated by Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) and Bayesian Theory, and the model parameter can be determined with actual driving records of an optimal path-planning model. The new model develops the previous one from a single path into a distribution based on driving records...
Architecture of push-enabled AMI reference model is proposed in this article. In the model, all actors in the Smart Grid can be treated as object things. When the push-based managerial operations with form of query initiated from head-ends, a Resource Discovery System can analyze the intension of the query and recommend the list of object things meet the criteria. The managerial operation can therefore...
Pointing at the problem that the spares consumption quota has been using the experience to develop, which makes spares application random and blind, this paper puts forward to build the reasonable lifeless-repairable spares consumption quota model. Analyze and determine the factors influencing the lifeless-repairable spares consumption, use BP neural network to predict, and use genetic algorithm to...
Spares have many kinds and complex specifications, its prediction is difficult, for the problem, the paper proposes the use of nonlinear characteristics of BP neural networks and self-learning ability, based on historical data of spares consumption trains the network of all spares to determine its network model, and used for the future consumption forecast for next year. Through the predictive value...
This paper investigates the influence factors to 3G mobile phone's use according to Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Additionally, this paper build hypotheses model, analyze the factors of this behavioral intentions which consumers use 3G mobile phones and discuss the four factors' influence to the 3G mobile phones use of behavioral intentions. The structural equation model (SEM) technique was used...
This paper proposes a novel software Transaction-Level Modeling (TLM) approach for efficient HW/SW co-simulation. In HW/SW co-simulation, timing synchronization should be involved between the hardware and software simulations for keeping their concurrency. However, improperly handling timing synchronization either slows down the simulation speed or scarifies the simulation accuracy. Our approach performs...
This paper empirically studies factors determining the use of E-recruitment systems. The technology acceptance model(TAM)is used as the main framework and combines with other three factors. Firstly, a hypothetical model was given, which was derived from the integration of TAM, subjective norm, perceived risk, perceived expenses, job pressure. Secondly, the structural equation modeling(SEM) technique...
The new method presented in this paper shows an effective way of solving an estimation problem, the estimated values are nearer to their theoretical ones than in an adjustment with the method of least squares. Considering the semi parametric adjustment models, firstly, the estimators of the parameters and the nonparametric are derived by using a kernel function and the least square method. Secondly,...
This paper empirically studies individual acceptance of recruitment on Internet and the factors was investigated according to technology acceptance model (TAM). Firstly, a hypothetical model was given, which was derived from the integration of TAM, subjective norm, perceived risk and perceived expenses. Secondly, the structural equation modeling (SEM) technique was used to evaluate the causal model...
