Analyzing the House Fly's Exploratory Behavior with Autoregression Methods
This paper presents a detailed characterization of the trajectory of a single
housefly with free range of a square cage. The trajectory of the fly was
recorded and transformed into a time series, which was fully analyzed using an
autoregressive model, which describes a stationary time series by a linear
regression of prior state values with the white noise. The main discovery was
that the fly switched styles of motion from a low dimensional regular pattern
to a higher dimensional disordered pattern. This discovered exploratory
behavior is, irrespective of the presence of food, characterized by anomalous
diffusion.Comment: 20 pages, 9 figures, 1 table, full pape
Unsupervised Spoken Term Detection with Spoken Queries by Multi-level Acoustic Patterns with Varying Model Granularity
This paper presents a new approach for unsupervised Spoken Term Detection
with spoken queries using multiple sets of acoustic patterns automatically
discovered from the target corpus. The different pattern HMM
configurations(number of states per model, number of distinct models, number of
Gaussians per state)form a three-dimensional model granularity space. Different
sets of acoustic patterns automatically discovered on different points properly
distributed over this three-dimensional space are complementary to one another,
thus can jointly capture the characteristics of the spoken terms. By
representing the spoken content and spoken query as sequences of acoustic
patterns, a series of approaches for matching the pattern index sequences while
considering the signal variations are developed. In this way, not only the
on-line computation load can be reduced, but the signal distributions caused by
different speakers and acoustic conditions can be reasonably taken care of. The
results indicate that this approach significantly outperformed the unsupervised
feature-based DTW baseline by 16.16\% in mean average precision on the TIMIT
corpus.Comment: Accepted by ICASSP 201
Feature Trajectory Dynamic Time Warping for Clustering of Speech Segments
Dynamic time warping (DTW) can be used to compute the similarity between two
sequences of generally differing length. We propose a modification to DTW that
performs individual and independent pairwise alignment of feature trajectories.
The modified technique, termed feature trajectory dynamic time warping (FTDTW),
is applied as a similarity measure in the agglomerative hierarchical clustering
of speech segments. Experiments using MFCC and PLP parametrisations extracted
from TIMIT and from the Spoken Arabic Digit Dataset (SADD) show consistent and
statistically significant improvements in the quality of the resulting clusters
in terms of F-measure and normalised mutual information (NMI).Comment: 10 page
Outlier detection techniques for wireless sensor networks: A survey
In the field of wireless sensor networks, those measurements that significantly deviate from the normal pattern of sensed data are considered as outliers. The potential sources of outliers include noise and errors, events, and malicious attacks on the network. Traditional outlier detection techniques are not directly applicable to wireless sensor networks due to the nature of sensor data and specific requirements and limitations of the wireless sensor networks. This survey provides a comprehensive overview of existing outlier detection techniques specifically developed for the wireless sensor networks. Additionally, it presents a technique-based taxonomy and a comparative table to be used as a guideline to select a technique suitable for the application at hand based on characteristics such as data type, outlier type, outlier identity, and outlier degree
