Traditional assessment of schizophrenic patients is conducted by trained professionals, which requires tremendous resources of time and effort. This study is part of a larger research objective committed to creating automated platforms to aid clinical diagnosis and understanding of schizophrenia. We have analyzed non-verbal cues and movement signals in our previous work. In this study, we explore the feasibility of using automatic transcriptions of interviews to classify patients and predict the observability of negative symptoms in schizophrenic patients. Interview recordings of 50 schizophrenia patients and 25 age-matched healthy controls were automatically transcribed by a speech recognition toolkit. After which, Natural Language Processing techniques were applied to automatically extract the lexical features and document vectors of transcriptions. Using these features, we applied ensemble machine learning algorithm (by leave-one-out cross-validation) to predict the Negative Symptom Assessment subject ratings of schizophrenic patients, and to classify patients from controls, achieving a maximum accuracy of 78.7%. These results indicate that schizophrenic patients exhibit significant differences in lexical usage compared with healthy controls, and the possibility of using these lexical features in the understanding and diagnosis of schizophrenia.","PeriodicalId":218806,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":" 111","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132188031","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}

Then, we train multiple classifiers by using the constructed fingerprints. Second, we derive a global dynamic fusion weight training method for each grid point through the global supervised optimization learning. In the online phase, given an RSS testing sample, we select the matching weights for fusion by using K-nearest neighbor (KNN). Our proposed multiple classifiers global dynamic fusion algorithm can make full use of the intrinsic complementarity of multiple classifiers, thus effectively improving the positioning accuracy of RSS and geomagnetic fingerprints.

In this paper, we present four different steering vector estimation methods and analyze their influence on the MVDR beamformer in speech recognition. The first one is based on the direction of arrival under the plane wave propagation assumption with the prior knowledge of microphone array geometry. The other three methods are based on the decomposition of the observed speech covariance matrix, including the covariance subtraction based method, the eigenvalue decomposition based method, and the generalized eigenvalue decomposition (GEVD) based method. We theoretically prove that the three decomposition based methods are equivalent under the narrowband approximation or after the rank -1 speech covariance matrix approximation. The speech recognition experiments conducted on the CHiME-3 dataset shows that the MVDR beamformer using GEVD-based steering vector estimation achieves the best performance, and word error rates can be further reduced with the rank -1 approximation.","PeriodicalId":218806,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121222727","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}

A recent approach to this problem relies on atomic norm minimization which exploitsjoint sparsity among the channels, is solved using convex optimization, and has strong theoretical guarantees. We provide in this paper an average-case analysis for atomic norm minimization by assuming proper randomness on the amplitudes of the frequencies. We show that the sample size per channel required for exact frequency estimation from noiseless samples decreases as the number of channels increases and is on the order of $Kdisplaystyle log Kleft(1+frac{1}{L}log Nright)$, where K is the number of frequencies, L is the number of channels, and N is a fixed parameter proportional to the sampling window size and inversely proportional to the desired resolution.","PeriodicalId":218806,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121344209","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}

Aiming to this objective, we propose a combination of non-orthogonal multiple access and interference alignment schemes applied to the downlink transmissions in a multi-cell environment. The two methods presented in this work enable an efficient reutilization of resources and the suppression of intra-and inter-cell interference in a single step during signal reception.

In this paper, we propose a dummy signal precoding method to deal with the inherent PAPR problem in a multiple-input multiple-output OFDM (MIMO-OFDM) system. The idea is to generate a set of random dummy signals and combine them with existing input data. Precoding is applied to eliminate the multiuser interference. The signal with low PAPR is chosen for transmission. Simulation shows that the proposed method can effectively reduce the PAPR of the transmit signal. In addition, no side information needs to be transmitted with the proposed method. Thus the proposed method complies with existing MIMO-OFDM architecture.","PeriodicalId":218806,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128611534","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}
