An M-channel uniform filter bank, with N-periodic analysis and synthesis filters, is used as the subband coder. A static bit allocation scheme is used. An average variance condition is used to measure the output distortion. The conditions for maximizing the coding gain parallel those for the case when the signals are wide sense stationary (WSS) and the analysis and synthesis filters and the bit allocation time invariant, in that the subband signals must be mutually decorrelated, and the sum of the power spectral densities of the blocked suband signal in different channels must obey an ordering. This contrasts to the recently studied 2-channel WSCS case, involving a dynamic, periodically varying bit allocation scheme where even the blocked subband signals of the same channel must be mutually decorrelated.","PeriodicalId":302569,"journal":{"name":"ISSPA '99.

Decision feedback equalisers can decrease this nonlinear effect by including appropriate nonlinear feedback filters. Although various applications of these types of equalisers have been published in the literature, the analysis of their stability and error recovery has not appeared. In this paper we consider a decision feedback equaliser with a feedback filter based on a discrete Volterra series. We give error propagation, error probability, stability, and error recovery time results for a decision feedback equaliser for 2nd order nonlinear channels, by extending previously published results for the linear channel case. These results can easily be extended for the general Nth order nonlinear channel case.","PeriodicalId":302569,"journal":{"name":"ISSPA '99.

By incorporating causal and localised training on the actual data being coded, rather than training separate data, the network weights are continuously updated. This results in a highly adaptive predictor, with localised optimisation based on the stochastic gradient learning. The causal nature of the training means no transmission overhead is required and also enables lossless coding of the images. In addition to the adaptive prediction, the results presented here also incorporate an arithmetic coding scheme, producing results which are better than CALIC and comparable to TMW, the state of the art lossless compression in the literature. This shows that near-optimal results can be obtained with the fundamental concept of adaptive training. The use of a neural network provides a simple means for performing this training.","PeriodicalId":302569,"journal":{"name":"ISSPA '99.

It can be applied to various aspects of adaptive signal processing. A Lyapunov function of the error between the desired and actual outputs of the neural network is first defined. Then the error is backward-propagated based on Lyapunov stability theory so that it can be used to adaptively adjust the weights of the inner layers of the neural networks. Subsequently, this will lead to an error between the desired and actual outputs converging to zero asymptotically. The proposed scheme possesses distinct advantages over the conventional BP by assuring that the system will not get stuck in local minima. Furthermore, this scheme has a faster convergence property and the stability is guaranteed by Lyapunov stability theory. A simulation example is performed to support the proposed scheme.","PeriodicalId":302569,"journal":{"name":"ISSPA '99.

We propose to use the filter-bank energies (FBEs) as features. The FBEs are physically meaningful quantities and amenable for applying human auditory processing such as masking. We describe procedures to decorrelate and lifter the FBEs and show that the FBEs perform at least as good as (and sometimes even better than) the MFCCs for robust speech recognition.","PeriodicalId":302569,"journal":{"name":"ISSPA '99.
