Recently, many methods of integrating linear microphone array signal processing and nonlinear signal processing for noise reduction have been studied, but these methods often suffer from the problem of musical noise. In the proposed algorithm, channelwise spectral subtraction is applied before adaptive array signal processing. We also introduce a new automatic control algorithm to obtain the subtraction strength parameter used in the spectral subtraction, which depends on the amount of generated musical noise, measured by higher-order statistics. We confirm the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm via objective and subjective evaluations.","PeriodicalId":171474,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd International Workshop on Cognitive Information Processing","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133626073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method was already described in [1] and a new relevant possible CO was presented: R-LFSR based CORDIC which is a result of synergy study between CORDIC [2] and Reconfigurable LFSR [3]. We present in this work an original FFT architecture based on the CORDIC in which R-LFSR is exploited. In this case, FFT functions which were performed by CORDIC can be performed by R-LFSR and vice-versa. The novel FFT architecture was successfully implemented on a FPGA Virtex-4 to compare with a FFT using conventional CORDIC.

In music as well as language the patterns we come across become part of our mental workspace when the bottom-up sensory input raises above the background noise of core affect, and top-down trigger distinct feelings reflecting a shift of our attention. And as both low-level semantics and our emotional responses can be encoded in words, we propose a simplified cognitive approach to model how we perceive media. Representing song lyrics in a vector space of reduced dimensionality using LSA, we combine bottom-up defined term distances with affective adjectives, that top-down constrain the latent semantics according to the psychological dimensions of valence and arousal. Subsequently we apply a Tucker tensor decomposition combined with re-weighted l1 regularization and a Bayesian ARD automatic relevance determination approach to derive a sparse representation of complementary affective mixtures, which we suggest function as cognitive components for perceiving the underlying structure in lyrics.","PeriodicalId":171474,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd International Workshop on Cognitive Information Processing","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122820259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While these networks have shown enormous potential in applications such as remote sensing and target tracking, these applications require the devices to determine their own location. Additionally, devices capable of self-localization can also be used to implement location-based services or to improve coordination between first-responders to disaster sites or infantry in tactical situations. Existing techniques such as GPS may not be available due to design or environmental constraints, so other methods need to be devised. Previous works have proposed methods for wireless devices to self-localize based on received signal strength (RSS), but these methods offer limited accuracy due to the large error in RSS measurements. Recognizing the trend for these portable wireless devices to contain acceleration sensors, we propose an algorithm to combine these acceleration measurements with RSS readings to achieve accurate localization. We apply a distributed extended Kalman filter to track position based on these two measurements and a kinematic node movement model. This algorithm is able to take advantage of correlations between successive location estimates to improve estimation accuracy. We calculate the posterior Cramér-Rao bound for this algorithm and analyze it through simulation. Our analysis shows that by utilizing the acceleration information, the network is able to self-localize despite the large inaccuracy in RSS readings.","PeriodicalId":171474,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd International Workshop on Cognitive Information Processing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131229776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper we view these platforms as question-asking machines and introduce a paradigm based on the scientific method, which couples the processes of inference and inquiry to form a model-based learning cycle. Unlike modern autonomous instrumentation, the system is not programmed to collect data directly, but instead, is programmed to learn based on a set of models. Computationally, this learning cycle is implemented in software consisting of a Bayesian probability-based inference engine coupled to an entropy-based inquiry engine. Operationally, a given experiment is viewed as a question, whose relevance is computed using the inquiry calculus, which is a natural order-theoretic generalization of information theory. In simple cases, the relevance is proportional to the entropy. This data is then analyzed by the inference engine, which updates the state of knowledge of the instrument. This new state of knowledge is then used as a basis for future inquiry as the system continues to learn. This paper will introduce the learning methodology, describe its implementation in software, and demonstrate the process with a robotic explorer that autonomously and intelligently performs data collection to solve a search-and-characterize problem.","PeriodicalId":171474,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd International Workshop on Cognitive Information Processing","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131600420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
