The optimal solution obtained by a linear programming model is to maximize the ramp inflow rate. It is argued in this paper that the maximization of inflow rate is different from the maximization of outflow rate under congested conditions. Therefore, this paper proposes a systematic searching procedure from a linear programing formulation to a integer programming : first obtain the optimal solution by a linear programming and then adding weight to linear programming then. solve the optimal solution again by integer programming i.e. The proposed method is an interactive approach. Measure of effectiveness by simulation models regards the real time data(O/D, queue, delay, etc), can be utilized in the proposed interactive process.

본 연구에서는 엔트로피 이론을 사용하여 ICA(Independent Component Analysis) 점수함수를 생성하는 새로운 밀도추정자(Density Estimator)를 제안한다. 원 신호에 대한 밀도함수의 추정은 적당한 점수함수를 생성하기 위해 필요하고, 미분 가능한 밀도함수인 커널을 이용한 밀도추정법(Kernel Density Estimation)을 이용하여 점수함수를 생성하였다. 보다 빠른 점수함수의 생성을 위해서 식의 형태를 convolution 형태로 표현하였으며, ICA 학습을 위해서 결합엔트로피를 최대화(Joint Entropy Maximization)하는 방향으로 커널의 폭을 학습하였다. 이를 위해서 기울기 강하법(Gradient descent method)를 사용하였으며, 이러한 제약 사항은 새로운 밀도 추정자를 설계하기 위한 기본적인 개념을 나타낸다. 실험결과, 커널의 폭을 담당하는 smoothing parameters들이 일정한 값으로 학습함을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, a direct method for obtaining the trajectory set points is investigated in discrete-time, which is different from the other conventional schemes. We consider the tracking of a straight line path, where the trajectory set points for manipulator control are determined exactly on the straight line path. For the purpose of the munimum-time operation of manipulators, the problem is formulated as a maximization of the Cartesian distance between two consecutive servo time instants. The maximization is subject to the smoothness and torque constraints. Several algorithms are developed and utilized to maximize the Cartesian distance. The proposed approach has been simulated on a VAX-11/780 computer to verify its performance.

In a deregulated electric power market, a demand function to consider the characteristics of electric power consumers should be required. It is essential that the optimal power flow algorithm with object function of social welfare maximization using the demand function for a competitive electric power market is applied to resolve in a point of economic benefits as well as the security of power systems. Therefore, in this paper, we implement the optimization problem based on linear programming to consider the characteristics of electric power consumers using the demand function and analyze not only the nodal cost for generations and demands but also the variation of demands as a function of the characteristics of electric power consumers through numerical studies.

This paper describes an audio source separation that is based on nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) and expectation maximization (EM). For stable and highperformance separation, an effective auxiliary source separation that extracts source residuals and reprojects them onto proper sources is proposed by taking into account an ambiguous region among sources and a source's refinement. Specifically, an additional NMF (model) is designed for the ambiguous region - whose elements are not easily represented by any existing or predefined NMFs of the sources. The residual signal can be extracted by inserting the aforementioned model into the NMF-EM-based audio separation. Then, it is refined by the weighted parameters of the separation and reprojected onto the separated sources. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme (outlined above) is more stable and outperforms existing algorithms by, on average, 4.4 dB in terms of the source distortion ratio.

This paper concerns robust and reliable speaker model training for text-independent speaker verification. The baseline speaker modeling approach is the Gaussian mixture model (GMM). In text-independent speaker verification, the amount of speech data may be different for speakers. However, we still wish the modeling approach to perform equally well for all speakers. Besides, the modeling technique must be least vulnerable against unseen data. A traditional approach for GMM training is expectation maximization (EM) method, which is known for its overfitting problem and its weakness in handling insufficient training data. To tackle these problems, variational approximation is proposed. Variational approaches are known to be robust against overtraining and data insufficiency. We evaluated the proposed approach on two different databases, namely KING and TFarsdat. The experiments show that the proposed approach improves the performance on TFarsdat and KING databases by 0.56% and 4.81%, respectively. Also, the experiments show that the variationally optimized GMM is more robust against noise and the verification error rate in noisy environments for TFarsdat dataset decreases by 1.52%.

본 논문에서는 잡음에 강인한 음성인식을 위해서 expectation-maximization (EM) 방식을 이용하여 잡음의 평균값을 추정하는 새로운 알고리듬을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리듬에서는 온라인상의 인식용 음성이 직접 Bayesian 적응을 위해서 사용되며, 또한 훈련데이터를 이용하여 잡음의 평균값에 대한 사전 (prior) 분포를 알아낸 후 Bayesian 적응시에 이용한다. 잡음 음성의 모델링을 위해서는 PMC (parallel model combination) 방식을 이용하였고, 제안된 방식을 이용하여 자동차 잡음 환경 하에서 인식 실험을 수행한 결과, 기존의 PMC 방식에 비해서 향상된 인식성능을 보임을 알 수 있었다.

In recent decades, many countries have introduced competition in the electricity industry. Now, unit commitment becomes not a problem to be solved by a monopoly company but the one to be tackled by each generation company(GENCO). Its aim has been altered from the global cost minimization to the each GENCO's profit maximization. In this paper, the author proposes the scheme of unit commitment of a GENCO to maximize profit considering the uncertainty of market clearing price. The type of the assumed market is a uniform price market. A genetic algorithm is used for the maximization of the profit.

In an electricity market with an imperfect competition, participants make plans of bidding and transaction strategies to maximize their own profits. The market price and the quantity are concerned with the operation reserve as well as the bidding system and demand curves in an electricity market. This paper presents a market model combined by an energy market and an operating reserve market. The competition of the generation producers in the combined market is formulated as a gaming of selecting bid parameters such as intersections and slopes in bid functions. The Nash Equilibrium(NE) is analyzed by using a hi-level optimization; maximization of Social Welfare(SW) and maximization of the producers' profits.

This paper shows that we can make simple modifications to an existing optimal power flow(OPF) algorithm that minimizes generation costs in order to solve the maximization of social welfare objective of the OPF in a competitive electric power market. We have illustrated the potential for the use of OPF in light of the marked impacts on nodal prices and generation/demand allocation levels among competing suppliers. This paper can provide all market players with the transparent information that ensures sufficient control over producers and consumers in case of economic of secure operation with transmission line outage while maximizing the sum of participants social benefit of participating in the electricity energy market.
