While Modern Standard Arabic is the formal spoken and written language of the Arab world; dialects are the major communication mode for everyday life. Therefore, identifying a speaker's dialect is critical in the Arabic-speaking world for speech processing tasks, such as automatic speech recognition or identification. In this paper, we examine two approaches that reduce the Universal Background Model (UBM) in the automatic dialect identification system across the five following Arabic Maghreb dialects: Moroccan, Tunisian, and 3 dialects of the western (Oranian), central (Algiersian), and eastern (Constantinian) regions of Algeria. We applied our approaches to the Maghreb dialect detection domain that contains a collection of 10-second utterances and we compared the performance precision gained against the dialect samples from a baseline GMM-UBM system and the ones from our own improved GMM-UBM system that uses a Reduced UBM algorithm. Our experiments show that our approaches significantly improve identification performance over purely acoustic features with an identification rate of 80.49%.

The policy for credit card approval/disapproval is based on the applier's personal and financial information. In this paper, we will analyze 2 credit card approval data with several classification methods. We identify which variables are important factors to decide the approval of credit card. Our main tool is an open-source statistical programming environment R which is freely available from http://www.r-project.org. It is getting popular recently because of its flexibility and a lot of packages (libraries) made by R-users in the world. We will use most widely used methods, LDNQDA, Logistic Regression, CART (Classification and Regression Trees), neural network, and SVM (Support Vector Machines) for comparisons.

서포트 벡터 머신은 얼굴인식이나 문자인식과 같은 다양한 패턴인식 문제에서 좋은 성능을 보여준다. 그러나 이러한 문제는 Quadratic Programming(QP) 문제에 관하여 몇 가지 단점을 가지고 있다. 일반적으로 대용량의 QP 문제를 해결하기 위해 많은 계산비용이 요구되며, QP 기반 시스템을 효과적으로 구현하는 것이 쉽지 않은 문제이다. 또한 대규모 데이터의 처리 시에는 입출력을 맞추기 또한 쉽지 않은 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 위의 단점을 극복하기 위하여 단일부류 문제를 최소제곱 서포트 벡터 머신을 기반으로 하여 해결하였다. 제안한 방법은 QP 문제를 해결하는 과정이 없이 단일부류 문제를 표현하여 최소제곱 방법을 이용하는 알고리즘이다. 제안된 방법으로 쉽고, 계산 비용을 줄이는 결과를 얻었다. 또한 서포트 벡터 영역 표식자에 확장 적용하여 선형방정식으로 구현하여, 문제를 해결하였다. 제안된 방법의 효율성을 입증하기 위하여 패턴인식 분야 중에 얼굴 인증 방법과 바이오인포매틱스 분야 중에 전립선 암 분류 문제에 적용하였다. 우리의 실험결과는 적합한 성능과 좋은 Equal Error Rate(EER)를 보여준다. 제안된 방법은 알 수 없는 물체의 분류 방법의 효율성을 증대시켰고, 실시간 응용분야에 직접적으로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 기대 된다.

Water Information Systems requires efficient management, fast and highly advanced data processing. To respond these requirements promptly, it is essential to operate proper information systems. In the future, the system should be extended to comprehensive urban information systems. To implement these tasks, the user needs assessment were done using the study site data, Nonhyun-dong, Kangnam-ku, Seoul. Based on these analyses, the parcel-address based water information system was developed using the Arc Macro Language(AML) in Arc/Info, a vector-based GIS. The system was tested at the study site, then, the technological and institutional problems to be solved were discussed for the successful water information system.

This paper addresses the issue of parameter error identification and estimation in electric power systems. Parameter error identification and estimation is carried out as a part of the state estimation. A two stage estimation procedure is used to detect and identify parameter errors. Suspected parameters are identified by the WLAV state estimator in the first stage. A new WLAV state estimator adding suspected system parameters in the state vector is used to estimate the exact values of parameters. Supporting examples are given by using the IEEE 14 bus system.

Due to the drastic improvement of computer hardware and operating system, it is easy to break through the main defects of limited computer memory and processing time, etc. To keep up with this situation, this paper is focused on developing the preprocessor program with the input method based on vector graphic editor and the preprocessing technique including automatic node generation algorithm for the $\rho$-version finite element program. To develop this preprocessor program, the special data structure and the OOP(Object Oriented Programming) have been used by the Visual Basic 4.0. The Special data structure is proposed to describe the geometric data of node numberings and coordinates suitable for the $\rho$-version finite element program, which are quite different from the comvential h-version finite element program.

A geometric kernel is the library of core mathematical functions that defines and stores 3D shapes in response to users'commands. We developed a light geometric kernel suitable to develop CAD/CAM application systems. The kernel contains geometric objects, such as points, curves and surfaces and a minimal set of functions for each type but does not contain lots of modeling and handling functions that are useful to create and maintain complex shapes from an idea sketch. The kernel was developed on MS-Windows NT using C++ with STL(Standard Template Library) but it is compatible with UNIX environments. This paper describes the structure of the kernel including several components: base, math, point sequence curve, geometry, translators. The base kernel gives portability to applications and the math kernel contains basic arithmetic and their classes, such as vector and matrix. The geometry kernel contains points, parametric curves, and parametric surfaces. A neutral fie format and programming and document styles are also presented in this paper.

The determination of the associated weights in the theory of ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operators is one of the important issue. Recently, Wang and Parkan [Information Sciences 175 (2005) 20-29] proposed a minimax disparity approach for obtaining OWA operator weights and the approach is based on the solution of a linear program (LP) model for a given degree of orness. Recently, Liu [International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, accepted] showed that the minimum variance OWA problem of Fuller and Majlender [Fuzzy Sets and Systems 136 (2003) 203-215] and the minimax disparity OWA problem of Wang and Parkan always produce the same weight vector using the dual theory of linear programming. In this paper, we give an improved proof of the minimax disparity problem of Wang and Parkan while Liu's method is rather complicated. Our method gives the exact optimum solution of OWA operator weights for all levels of orness, $0\leq\alpha\leq1$, whose values are piecewise linear and continuous functions of $\alpha$.

We propose a new dual simplex method using a primal interior point. The dropping variable is chosen by utilizing the primal feasible interior point. For a given dual feasible basis, its corresponding primal infeasible basic vector and the interior point are used for obtaining a decreasing primal feasible point The computation time of moving on interior point in our method takes much less than that od Karmarker-type interior methods. Since any polynomial time interior methods can be applied to our method we conjectured that a slight modification of our method can give a polynomial time complexity.

Android program is developed with JAVA SDK and executed over virtual machine. For this reason, programming is easier than traditional C language but performance of operating speed decreases. To enhance the performance, NDK development tool, which provides C language, assembly language environment, was proposed. Furthermore, with NEON function provided by ARM, we can utilize the vector operation and enhance performance. In the paper, we explore effectiveness of NDK and then propose advanced multiplication structure with NEON function.
