Compounding this problem is the situation when the noise occurs in short, impulsive bursts at random intervals. Traditional signal processing methods used to detect speech rely on the spectral energy of the incoming signal to make a determination whether or not a segment of the signal contains speech. However when noise is present, this simple energy detection is prone to falsely flagging noise as speech. This paper will demonstrate an alternative way of processing a noisy speech signal utilizing a combination of information theoretic and signal processing principles to differentiate speech segments from noise. The utilization of this preprocessing technique will allow a speaker recognition system to train statistical speaker model using noise-corrupted speech files, and construct models statistically similar to those constructed from noise-free data. This preprocessing method will be shown to outperform traditional spectrum-based methods for both low-entropy and high-entropy noise in low signal-to-noise ratio environments, with a reduction in the feature space distortion when measured using the Cauchy–Schwarz (CS) distance metric.","PeriodicalId":47145,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Data Science and Adaptive Analysis","volume":"20 1","pages":"2050011:1-2050011:24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2020-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77969513","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 change of measure is assumed to be incorporated. Monte Carlo simulation was used to calculate the price of the option and the results obtained were analyzed. The option price was found to be $94.42 and the optimal stopping time was approximately one year after the option was sold which means that exercising early is the best for an American put option on a fixed term. Also, the seller of the put option should have sold $0.01 assets and bought $95.51 bonds to get the same payoff as the buyer at the end of one year for it to be a zero-sum game. In the simulation study, the parameters were varied to see the influence it had on the option price and the stopping time and it showed that it either increases or decreases the value of the option price and the optimal stopping time or it remained unchanged.","PeriodicalId":47145,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Data Science and Adaptive Analysis","volume":"54 1","pages":"2050010:1-2050010:11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2020-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77146997","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 purpose of VS is to identify the molecules holding the greatest prior probabilities of activity. Many of the conventional similarity methods assume that molecular features that do not relate to the biological activity carry the same weight as the important ones. For this reason, the researchers on this paper investigated that some features are being more important than others through the chemist structure diagrams and the weight for each fragment should be taken into consideration by giving more weight to those fragments that are more important. In this paper, a deep learning method specifically known as Deep Belief Networks (DBN) has been used to reweight the molecule features and based on this new weigh, the reconstruction feature error has been calculated for all the features. Based on the reconstruction feature error values, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) has been used for the dimension’s reduction and only few hundreds of features have been selected based on the less error rate. The main aim of this research is to show an improvement of the similarity searching performance based on the selected features those have less error rate. The results derived through the DBN were compared with those derived through other similarity methods, such as the Tanimoto coefficient and the quantum-based methods. This comparison revealed the performance of the DBN with the structurally heterogeneous data sets (DS1 and DS3) to be superior to the performances of all the other techniques.","PeriodicalId":47145,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Data Science and Adaptive Analysis","volume":"26 1","pages":"2050009:1-2050009:28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2020-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78130310","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}

It has always been considered as a vital method to manage and process a huge number of documents in digital forms which are widespread and continuously increasing. Most of the research work in text classification has been done in Urdu, English and other languages. But limited research work has been carried out on roman data. Technically, the process of the text classification follows two steps: the first step consists of choosing the main features from all the available features of the text documents with the usage of feature extraction techniques. The second step applies classification algorithms on those chosen features. The data set is collected through scraping tools from the most popular news websites Awaji Awaze and Daily Jhoongar. Furthermore, the data set splits in training and testing 70%, 30%, respectively. In this paper, the deep learning models, such as RNN, LSTM, and CNN, are used for classification of roman Urdu headline news. The testing accuracy of RNN (81%), LSTM (82%), and CNN (79%), and the experimental results demonstrate that the performance of the LSTM method is state-of-art method compared to CNN and RNN.","PeriodicalId":47145,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Data Science and Adaptive Analysis","volume":"87 1","pages":"2050008:1-2050008:13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2020-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80844137","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}
