Research work ppt on speech intelligibility quality in telugu speech patterns...chinavs
The hybrid threshold approach was developed to improve the efficiency of speech communication Systems in a noisy industrial setting. On a shop floor, where employees are interacting with one another, any loss of speech is unacceptable. For this reason, we present a technique in which non-stationary noise enhancement methods are combined with evolutionary computation for machine learning with the aim of improving distorted speech in the audio logical phase. Some variables are more important for speech enhancement algorithms than others, depending on the needs of shop floor staff. For the best Wavelet transform range, a hybrid thresholding scheme for non-stationary low SNR noisy speech patterns is considered in this paper. In hybrid thresholding,
the optimal selection of decomposition levels in the wavelet transform is more critical for speech quality and intelligibility

Abstract: A core technology that has emerged from the artificial intelligence revolution is the recurrent neural network (RNN). Its unique sequence-based architecture provides a tractable likelihood estimate with stable training paradigms, a combination that has precipitated many spectacular advances in natural language processing and neural machine translation. This architecture also makes a good candidate for a variational wavefunction, where the RNN parameters are tuned to learn the approximate ground state of a quantum Hamiltonian. In this paper, we demonstrate the ability of RNNs to represent several many-body wavefunctions, optimizing the variational parameters using a stochastic approach. Among other attractive features of these variational wavefunctions, their autoregressive nature allows for the efficient calculation of physical estimators by providing perfectly uncorrelated samples. We demonstrate the effectiveness of RNN wavefunctions by calculating ground state energies, correlation functions, and entanglement entropies for several quantum spin models of interest to condensed matter physicists in one and two spatial dimensions.

nodes do not know the cost function beforehand. Instead of
decision-making based on linear combination of the neighbor
estimates, the proposed algorithm relies on information-rich

information rich node, the algorithm adopts a larger step size
during the initial iterations. The proposed algorithm can be used

Study Of The Fault Diagnosis Based On Wavelet And Fuzzy Neural Network For Th...IJRES Journal
In the fault diagnosis of the motor, the vibration signals can fully reflect the status of the motor. In this paper, on the basis of wavelet packet fault feature extraction, a new approach for motor fault diagnosis based on wavelet packet analysis and fuzzy RBF neural network was presented.The method gains the energy of characteristic channel of bearing failure vibration signals of asynchronous motor, which adopts the technology of wavelet packet analysis. It also composes the characteristics of the vector as input of fuzzy RBF neural network, used to diagnose the induction motor bearing failures. The method overcomes the slow convergence, a long training time, local minimum problems when using BP neural network. Experimental results shows that using fuzzy RBF neural network can improve the accuracy of the motor fault diagnosis.
A NOVEL ADAPTIVE - WAVELET BASED DETECTION ALGORITHM FOR CHIPLESS RFID SYSTEMcsandit
In this paper, a novel wavelet-based detection algorithm is introduced for the detection of
chipless RFID tags. The chipless RFID tag has a frequency signature which is identical to itself.
Here a vector network analyser is used where the received backscatter signal is analysed in
frequency domain. Thus the frequency signature is decoded by comparing the wavelet
coefficients which identifies the bits accurately. Further, the detection algorithm has been
applied for the tag detection under different dynamic environments to check the robustness of
the detection algorithm. The new method doesn’t rely on calibration tags and shows robust
detection under different environments and movement.
Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.
CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
