Hi, I found out that the Foundation for the Study of
Cycles is about to
release thier new Cycles Magazine and are offering a
complimentary 30 day
membership, with this membership you have the option
of downloading the FREE trial
download of thier Techsignal software.  I thought I’d
share this with the group

Subject: [TheRevolutions] Should we move to Google Groups? - Team Rev

Hi Guys,

We are noticing that this group has become dormant. One reason could
be people might not be able to access Yahoo Groups from offices
(Because of Internet Policy). So, we are thinking about moving to
GoogleGroups (a more effective way of communication) so that we can
help and learn in a more effective way.

You can also post your questions/queries in Orkut community.

No, there is a indirect method of creating the folders by the name
con, aux,.... These folders can be created by using the following
command
   md \\.\c:\con
this folder will be created as the c:\con
for changing to this folder you will have to write cd \\.\c:\con

Enjoy.

The Humanoid Project

---------------------------------

The objective of this project is to produce a full-size, bipedal humanoid robot. The humanoid will have human dimensions and weight. At present the plan is to build the robot around a plastic human skeleton. The robot will be controlled by a hierarchy of evolutionary systems. A 60 cm tall prototype named ELVIS has been built. The objective of ELVIS is to try various hypotheses regarding hardware and control software. We are motivated by a strong belief in the future importance of humanoid robotics for industry, research and society in general.

Project goals:

To create a mechanical humanoid that:
- is autonomous
- can walk
- has vision assisted orientation
- can communicate verbally
- shows more advanced behaviours, such as walking to an electric outlet to recharge its batteries

We strive towards creating an individual who is able to adapt to and take advantage of its environment to reach its own purposes. Our short term goal is to get the robot to balance on two legs, and then make it walk.

Purpose:

To see what is possible to do today

Research areas:

- AI
- Robotics
- Computer vision
- Audio computer communication
- Human interfaces for robots

New Operations in Speech

Miami Children's Hospital, a world leader in pediatric health care,
has a medical staff of more than 650 physicians and over 2,000
employees. The hospital specializes in all aspects of pediatric
medical care from birth through adolescence. Although the hospital
draws children with very specific needs from all over the world, it is
also the only licensed specialty hospital exclusively for children in
South Florida.

Originally opened in 1950 as Variety Children's Hospital, its name was
changed to Miami Children's Hospital in 1986. MCH now treats more than
185,000 patients each year. It is a non-profit, freestanding hospital.
Today, MCH is in the midst of a renovation project that will enlarge
the hospital by 78,000 square feet, making it one of the most
attractive health care facilities in South Florida.

With all that is going on at the hospital, MCH is also in the process
of incorporating speech recognition technologies into their existing
i-Rounds clinical documentation application from Teges Corporation.
Teges Corporation visited IBM in November of 2004 and saw a
demonstration of the X+V programming language. The demonstration used
IBM's WebSphere speech technology to speech-enable Web pages. Teges
realized that IBM's speech technology could be used in their i-Rounds
application. In January of 2005, Teges teamed with IBM to create a
speech-enabled prototype of the i-Rounds application. The entire
i-Rounds application was speech-enabled for navigation and other
functional components, such as an Operating Room (OR) timer and a
Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) voice recording application, within
30 days. The resulting application can be used with traditional
keyboard, mouse and display as well as with speech input and output.

It was MCH's need for hands-free and eyes-free access to computing
that would help clinicians access or record critical information
without having direct contact with equipment that led to their
implementation of the multimodal i-Rounds. There are many areas within
the hospital where clinicians do not have access to computers or
hardware because the environment is sterile or the clinicians' hands
are busy with surgery or other tasks. These are the areas that MCH
wanted to focus on with speech technologies. Their goals with this
project included hands-free access to all critical patient information
from anywhere with any device, increased efficiency and speed with
which clinicians access and create patient information (including
voice recordings) within the hospital, an interactive environment for
users to communicate with the computer, text-to-speech (TTS)
capability of the voice application to warn users of dangerous
trends/events and TTS capability to remind users not to forget key
elements of the medical treatment.

The speech application's ability to meet these goals would depend
heavily on its ability to adapt to dynamic and noisy environments.
MCH found ways to minimize ambient noise and increase recognition
accuracy by finding, positioning and outfitting MCH staff and rooms
with the appropriate microphone technology. The application had to be
easy to use so clinical staff would quickly adopt the new technology.
In the end, IBM's WebSphere Everyplace Multimodal Environment allowed
the Hospital to design new features as well as enhance the existing
i-Rounds application to become multimodal. The underlying technology
for doing this was a Web-based programming language called XHTML+Voice
(X+V). Based on Web standards, X+V sped the addition of speech to
i-Rounds and it used application development skills to which Teges
developers were accustomed. Also, since the speech technology is user
independent, the medical staff was not required to do any speaker
training to use the application.

The speech-enabled application underwent a litany of tests both for
endurance and accuracy before it was used in a production environment.
This included IBM's testing procedures such as usability, automation,
lifecycle testing, and audio analysis. The browser with which the
voice application is delivered has a series of debugging tools, such
as logging, tracing and audio capturing, that the IBM team used to
reproduce the exact environment and interaction the user had with the
computer. The OR, though an uncommon environment, shares many similar
characteristics of other environments that IBM has speech-enabled,
such as automobiles. For example, heart monitors provide constant
noise to the "always listening" speech system. This situation is
similar to constant noises in a car. Adjusting variables in the
multimodal system such as microphone type, placement and speech engine
settings enabled the system to be tuned to the operating room
environment. The debugging functionality available in the system
proved critical to the success of the project.

The speech features of i-Rounds have been enabled in the Cardiac
Intensive Care Unit (CICU) and in the OR for use during pediatric
cardiac surgery. They provide a hands-free mechanism for physicians to
enter information, retrieve information and record their voice
directly into the patient's medical record making the doctor's
assessment/diagnosis available immediately without waiting for
transcription services. In the OR, the computer speaks to the surgeon
through four speakers that are embedded in the ceiling. The surgeon
interacts with the computer using a cardioid wireless microphone,
which activates the speech system when the surgeon utters the keyword,
"Computer." In the CICU, clinicians access the system by using a
wireless tablet PC. They use the tablet's built-in microphone and
activate the speech system using a push-to-talk mechanism (depressing
a button on the tablet).

When MCH started testing the speech recognition in different areas of
the facility, they encountered three major hurdles. First, ambient
noises, such as beeping oxygen saturation monitors, drills, and saws
in the OR and bedside monitors, alarms, families, patients and staff
making noise in the CICU, created a challenge for the speech
recognition system. MCH researched microphones, both wireless and hard
wired, to improve recognition. Once they determined the position and
type of microphones to use, they were able to eliminate much of the
ambient noise and significantly increase the speech recognition
capability.

Second, MCH had to overcome resistance in some environments to pushing
a button to indicate to the computer that they were going to talk. The
users wanted to talk to the computer spontaneously and have it respond
to their commands. In order to fulfill this request, IBM made changes
in the WebSphere Everyplace Multimodal Environment that extended
existing features built into speech technology giving the system the
ability to first listen for a keyword (e.g "Computer") and then listen
until the user stopped speaking. Certain design changes were made to
the i-Rounds application that resulted in users having more
flexibility with the system; for instance, during surgery, the surgeon
tells the system when they pass key phases of the operation such as
going "on bypass" or "cross clamp off." The surgeon needs to discuss
passing these phases with the team and saying the phrase "on bypass"
could accidentally trigger the computer to process that event. With
the keyword activation feature, the surgeon says "Computer,
on-bypass," which solved the problem in a way that was natural and
intuitive for the clinicians.

The third and final significant challenge was developing a common
dialogue or nomenclature for navigating and delivering speech commands
within the application. Early users were, literally, getting lost in
the system. More specifically, some users of the speech application
never look at a computer monitor when using the system and are only
talking to the voice-activated room. To handle this, navigating to all
the major sections of the application were made common by always
saying "Go to . . . ." Then on each page, a pop-up window shows the
speech commands that are active for that particular part of the
application. Having a consistent way to navigate around the i-Rounds
application and then having the application show which commands were
valid at the time relieved users of the burden of remembering
commands. This made the system easy as well as efficient for users who
knew the commands.

Once all the challenges were overcome and the tuning of the
application was complete, the system was implemented in the OR and
CICU. In the OR, the technology serves as a safety net. It provides
hands-free verification of the patient, diagnosis and planned
procedure. It also provides timed reminders for the delivery of
medication and other procedures that must be administered at specific
intervals. The safety net of the speech application reduces the
occurrence of human error by offering an alternative reference for the
administering clinician to use before performing any life-threatening
tasks on the patient. This may eventually work to improve the
hospital's mortality rate, which is already among the best in the
world at 98 percent.

Also, in the CCU, it works as a new way to record transcription by
recording the user's voice directly into the Web browser which then
becomes part of the patient's electronic medical record. Others can
use the browser to access the information from anywhere and at any
time. By capturing the doctor's audio transcription into the
patient's database record, this information becomes immediately
available to other doctors and medical staff. Speech-to-text occurs
subsequently offline and the results are updated in the patient's
database record. Health care practitioners then have real-time
access to the doctor's notes, which previously was not the case.
Also, by having the transcribed text in the same electronic document,
the data can be mined in the future. This system is an improvement
over handheld recorders because the data is in the record under
application control/protection and not the doctor's pocket or courier
bag traveling to a transcription service.

MCH has only just started to use the multimodal i-Rounds solution and
has put it to use in two departments. At this time, it's difficult to
predict exactly what impact the system will have on further reducing
mortality rates or preventable medical errors throughout the hospital.
Research is available suggesting the relationship between improved
outcomes and increased availability of patient information. The
multimodal i-Rounds application provides speech input and output as
yet another vehicle for medical staff to access patient information
faster and more efficiently than ever before.

Another potential benefit is that speech-enabled systems use built-in
libraries of words and phrases. This has the positive side effect of
enforcing common spelling and phraseology with the staff. It improves
data accuracy and avoids handwriting and typing errors. Another
potential, but as yet unproven benefit, is more efficient collection
of patient data from caregivers because entry is quick, easy and can
be done on the spot.

Making a huge paradigm shift, MCH's users had to adapt from both a
clinical documentation and computer interaction stand point.
Therefore, MCH has received mixed reactions from these users. One of
the main concerns expressed by physicians is that they don't have the
time to learn new technology at the expense of losing time with their
patients. Since IBM's speech engine is user independent, it does not
require voice training, which solves one of MCH's major obstacles for
implementing speech technology.

In an effort to continue to tear down barriers to implementing speech
recognition hospital-wide, MCH is updating its IT Vision and Strategy
and aligning it with the clinical focus. Once complete, the
multimodal capability will be an option that can be rolled out to
physicians wishing to use it for their documentation needs, and
potentially to other caregivers including nurses, technicians, etc.
Also, because the multimodal i-Rounds application is a fully working
traditional application for keyboard, display and mouse, users can
experiment with using speech at their own pace. That is, they can
keep using the system the way they're used to doing it and use speech
when they want to.

MCH will continue with its testing to determine if this technology
will be widely accepted by the clinical staff. Physicians are often
conservative and MCH anticipates some resistance, only because it is
new technology and a new process compared to the way care is
historically delivered. Once practicing physicians see the benefits
gained through the system's efficiency and accuracy, MCH predicts that
their resistance will be replaced with excitement and adoption of the
speech system.

THE EARTH QUAKES---

how and where they occur

an earth quake is a shaking of the ground. it occurs when masses of
rocks changes position below the earth surfaces. the shifting masses send
out shock waves that may be powerfull enough to wresk buildings, roads
and bridges. they may even alter the surface of the earth,thrusting up
cliffs and opening fissures in the ground.

earthquakes go on almost continuosly and it can be detected by only
sensitive intrument called seismographs.earthquake produce such tragic and
dramatic effects as destroyed cities, broken dams, earth slides, giant
sea waves and volcanic erruptions.

HOW EARTHQUAKE TAKE PLACE

earth quakes may be caused by volacnic eruptions or by man made blasts
of dynamite or atomic energy. a more frequent and powerfull type of
earth quake is the 'tectomic temblor' pressure from within the earth put
strain upon great rock masses beneath the earth's surface. the strain
builds upuntil suddenly the masses are displayed along some line of
weakness known as fault. the masses slip and slide in opposite directions
along thsi fracture in the rock,shaking and ground above. the masses may
move up and down, sideways or both verticaly or horizontally.

on the earth's surface, displacement fo the ground may vary from a few
inches to many feet somtimes a fault line appears on the surface of the
earth, showing the location of the fault beneath.

the shock (seismic) waves caused by the shifting rock move out in all
directions, in a great eatth quake shocks may be felt by people a
thousand miles away from the centre. seismographs on the other side of the
world pick up the waves,this is because the shock waves of a largeearth
quake move through the entire structure of he earth and also travel all
over its surface.

there are two classes of seismic waves, interior and surface which
travelthrough the earth, in turn are of two type. the primary wave, or p
wave,is the faster of the two and reaches the earth's surface first. it
alternatively compresses and expands the rock through which it passes.
the secondary wave or S wave is a ' shake' wave. it it moves partical
from side to side, at right angles top its direction of travel. by
comparing the arrival times of p waves and s waves qar seismological
observing stations scientists can determine the centre of earth quake thousand
of miles away.

the most powerfull shock waves, however travel on the earth's surface.
surface waves of which there are atleast two types travel more slowly
then interior waves.

measuring earth quakes

A seismograph records the pattern of shock waves on a revolving drum
paper, thin wavy lines show the strength of the various waves and the
times at which occured. the tracing is called a seismogram. the study of
earth quakes is seismology.

JHON MILNE, an english scietist was an early inventor of seismograph.
basically, the instrument is a heavy pendulum with a stylus, or needle
suspended above in front of a revolving drum. during an earthquake the
pendulum and needle remain stable while the drum on the base moves,
recording the waves patterns,. in some seismographs a ray of light traces
the pattern of photographic pape.

the strength of an earth quake can also be determined by the amount of
damage done or by instrument readingsthe modified meracali intensity
scale is commonly use to indicate the amount if destruction caused by an
earthquake. it defines 12 levels of earthquake strength. the richter
magnitude scale grades earthquake on a 1 to 10 scale. it is based upon
the amount of energy released by the rock movements rather than upon
surface damage.

where earth quakes occur

most earthquakes take place in one of two great 'earth quake belts'
that gridle the world. the belts coincide with the more recently formed
mountain ranges and with the volcanic belts. one circles the pacific
ocean along the mountainous west coasts of north and south america and
truns through the island areas of asia. more earthquakes occur in the
pacific belt than in the pacific belt than in the second belt.

the rock movements that causes earthquakes occur at varying depths
beneath the surface. the point at which rock movement is known as the focus
of an earthquake. most earthquake are shallow, with focusses no more
than 37 miles below the surface. intermediate earthquakes have focusses
between 37 and 93 miles below the surface. a deep earthquake has a focus
between 93 and 435 miles down. none has an ever been recorded below 477
miles.

earthquake destructions

the point of greatest destructions is an earth quake is the epicenter.
this is the point on the surface directly above the ground focus.

factors other than the earthquake intensity influence the amount of
destructions caused,. soft ground for example magnifies the shocks. an
area underlaid rock will not severally shaken.

the structure of buildings is also important. building with steel
frames eveloped by reinforced concrete withstand earthwuakes very well.solid
foundations are also needed for buildings in earth quake zones.
balconies, parapets and similar ornamentation should be avoided since these
may break off during earth quake, creating another hazard.

some of the side efffects of earthquakes cause the most damage. fires
break out and rage unchecked over wide areas, since water mains are
often broken. seismic sea waves are another danger. these are known by the
japanese name of tsunamis, though they are are often called inpatly
called tidal waves. they are not caused by the tides but are probably of
vertical fault movements or landslides under the sea. in the deep ocean
the waves travel at speeds of over 600 miles an hour but remain low in
height. as the tsunamis approach shores they build up into powerfull
walls of water 90 feet or more in height .

while seismograph can record the shocks that sometimes preecede an
earthquake, scientist havent yet learned how topredict when a earthquake
wil occur. certain signs however do give advance warning of destructive
tsunamis.

Subject: Milestones in Speech Technology – Past and Future! navs_cse

(Thanks to Mohammad Saleem)

The Past:

Speech and language, and the mysteries and magic surrounding them,
have a long and venerable history, reaching back into mythological
time. Only in this past half century have serious inroads been made
into understanding them well enough to be able to emulate them with
computer technology. Many top-notch researchers and engineers
worldwide have contributed critical pieces to these puzzles. The
examples discussed here illustrate just a few of the key milestones,
both technical and commercial. Successful research breakthroughs
eventually give rise to new products and applications, sometimes
quickly, though often, not so soon as desired. Major contributors to
progress have been increasing the understanding of the speech and
language processes themselves, in concert with ever increasing and
less expensive computer power.

Speech synthesis technology harkens back to Van Kempelen's 1791
"talking machines," which could generate intelligible speech at the
hands of well-trained technicians skillfully manipulating a set of
bellows to force air through various tubes and apertures which
mimicked the shapes and cavities of the vocal tract. In the
mid-1870s, Alexander Graham Bell tried to create speech recognition to
provide an instrument for the deaf that would turn speech into text.
Failing that, he focused his energy on creating what, in 1876, became
the telephone!

Over the past half century, speech synthesis techniques have centered
around (1) extracting key characteristics, using formants, pitch, etc.
and/or other parameterizations, such as LPC (Linear Predictive
Coding), and then using these to generate intelligible playback (e.g.
formant synthesizers, LPC synthesizers, etc), or (2) modeling the
sounds themselves, and combinations of them, and then seamlessly
joining them together (e.g. concatenative synthesis). The first set of
techniques, though trickier to implement well, has the virtue of
requiring low bit rates and much less computation; the second set of
techniques, though much more memory-intensive, typically generates
more natural sounding speech output. Major commercial laboratories
(e.g. - Bell Labs, NTT, etc.) as well as academic and government
laboratories (e.g. Univ. Amsterdam, JSRU, KTH, MIT, Univ. Tokyo)
spearheaded both basic speech production research and synthesis
methodologies. Numerous smaller laboratories also have contributed key
synthesis techniques and applications.

In 1936, U.K. Tel introduced a "speaking clock" to tell time. Homer
Dudley of Bell Labs demonstrated his "Voder," (a manually-controlled
speech synthesizer) at the 1939 World's Fair. "Reading machines for
the blind" were introduced in the mid-1970s by Kurzweil in the U.S.
and NEC in Japan. In 1978, Texas Instruments introduced the very
popular "Speak & Spell" learning toy, which contained their new
TMS5220 integrated circuit (IC) chip. Laboratory text-to-speech
systems started evolving into commercial services and products, such
as MIT's "Klattalk," introduced in 1983 as "DECTalk." As processors
became more powerful, a host of new synthesizers became available in
software in many world languages. Starting in the late 1980s, large
scale concatenative synthesis (e.g. Sagisaka at ATR) became
progressively more prevalent. The same approach also became popular
for music synthesizers.

Speech recognition has been actively pursued globally by numerous
laboratories in commercial, academic, and government sectors. In 1922,
a sound-activated toy dog named "Rex" (from Elmwood Button Co.) could
be called by name from his doghouse. Small vocabulary recognition was
demonstrated for digits over the telephone by Bell Labs in 1952. At
the Seattle World's Fair in 1962, IBM demonstrated their "Shoebox"
recognizer with 16 words (digits plus command/control words)
interfaced with a mechanical calculator for performing arithmetic
computations by voice. Based on mathematical modeling and optimization
techniques learned at IDA (now the Center for Communications
Research, Princeton), Jim Baker introduced stochastic processing with
Hidden Markov Models (HMM) to speech recognition, while at
Carnegie-Mellon University in 1972. In the same time frame, Jelinek et
al, coming from a background of information theory, also independently
developed HMM techniques for speech recognition at IBM. Over the next
10-15 years, as other labs gradually tested, understood, and applied
this methodology, it became the dominant speech recognition
methodology. Recent performance improvements have been achieved
through the incorporation of discriminative training (e.g. Cambridge
University, LIMSI, etc.) and large databases for training.

Starting in the 1970s, government funding agencies throughout the
world (e.g. Alvey, ATR, DARPA, Esprit, etc.) began making a major
impact on expanding and directing speech technology for strategic
purposes. These efforts have resulted in significant advances,
especially for speech recognition, and have created large
widely-available databases in many languages while fostering rigorous
comparative testing and evaluation methodologies.

In the mid-1970s, small vocabulary commercial recognizers utilizing
expensive custom hardware were introduced by Threshold Technology and
NEC, primarily for hands-free industrial applications. In the late
1970s, Verbex (division of Exxon Enterprises), also using custom
special-purpose hardware systems, was commercializing small vocabulary
applications over the telephone, primarily for telephone toll
management and financial services (e.g. Fidelity fund inquiries). By
the mid-1990s as computers became progressively more powerful, even
large vocabulary speech recognition applications progressed from
requiring hardware assists to being implementable all in software. As
performance and capabilities increased, prices dropped.

In 1990, Dragon Systems introduced a general-purpose discrete
dictation system (i.e. requiring pauses between each spoken word), and
in 1997, Dragon started shipping general purpose continuous speech
dictation systems, to allow any user to speak naturally to their
computer instead of, or in addition to, typing. IBM rapidly followed
suit, as did Lernout & Hauspie (using technology acquired from
Kurzweil Applied Intelligence), Philips, and more recently, Microsoft.
Medical reporting and legal dictation are two of the largest market
segments for this technology. Although intended for use by typical PC
users, this technology has proven especially valuable to disabled or
physically impaired users, including many who suffer from Repetitive
Stress Injury (RSI).

AT&T introduced their automated operator system (e.g. "collect call,"
"operator," etc.) in 1992. In 1996, Nuance supplied recognition
technology to allow customers of Charles Schwab to get stock quotes
and to engage in financial transactions over the telephone. Similar
recognition applications were also supplied by SpeechWorks. Today, it
is possible to book airline reservations with British Airways, make a
train reservation for Amtrak, obtain weather forecasts and telephone
directory information, all by using speech recognition technology.

Other important speech technologies include speaker
verification/identification and spoken language learning for both
literacy and interactive foreign language instruction. For information
search and retrieval applications (e.g. audio mining) by voice, large
vocabulary recognition preprocessing has proven highly effective,
preserving acoustic as well as statistical semantic/syntactic
information. This approach also has broad applications for speaker
identification, language identification, etc.

What's Coming:
Computer processing power will continue to increase, with lower costs
for both processor and memory components. The systems that support
even the most sophisticated speech applications will move from
centralized locales (e.g. computer center, or server) to distributed
configurations (i.e. with some processing done local to the user and
the balance done elsewhere), to primarily being located local to the
end user. This trend has been repeated many times (e.g. with
computers, telephones, etc).

On the research side, a great deal of progress has been made, but a
great deal of progress remains to be made. Unfortunately, in the wake
of the economic downturn and heavy consolidation of speech technology
companies over the past five years, the amount of corporate and
government funding has declined. The technology presently is good
enough for certain products and services to be successfully sold and
incrementally improved. A great deal more opportunity exists when the
fundamentals of the core technology can be thoroughly explored and
tested (not possible with previous processing limitations) to remove
known sub-optimizations and to enable major new applications.
Experienced researchers are not short of ideas to make fundamental
improvements; they are short of the resources to implement many of
them.

The promise and the opportunities to be realized for speech
technologies, and the time-frames for these, are gated by the
resources available to pursue these ideas. The first beneficiaries of
this new era in speech technology are likely to be the institutions
willing and able to look beyond short-term incremental gains to break
new ground. Until remedied, present performance limitations will
continue to inhibit the utility and commercial returns of products and
services. Nonetheless some very exciting entrants are on the near-term
horizon!

We can expect that full, general purpose, continuous dictation systems
will become available in a variety of handheld devices. Speech
technologies will be embedded in handheld computers, cell phones,
remote controls, automotive navigation systems, appliances, foreign
language phrase books, toys, and a lot more!

Speech technology will gradually be incorporated into a wide range of
different services and products, progressively more ubiquitous and
pervasive. Multiple speech technologies (recognition, synthesis,
verification, etc.) will become increasingly better integrated and
bundled together. More natural language dialog systems with better
user interfaces should mean that many enterprise applications, such as
customer and technical support, can be conducted automatically with
huge cost savings, and eventually, greater customer satisfaction.

Lecture and meeting transcripts will be readily searchable by voice as
well as broadcast news and your favorite TV shows. Voice portals will
become better enabled with speech input and output. Speaker
verification will become a more prevalent technology, especially used
in combination with other security protections (passwords, hand
geometry, fingerprints, retinal scans, etc). More systems will
incorporate natural language capabilities, directed dialogs, and
multilinguality as needed.

You will be able to talk and give orders to the characters in your
video and simulation adventure games. You can expect customized
pronunciation help when you are trying to learn a new foreign language
on your own. Children will be able to get personalized friendly
reading support on their own, as will adults in need of private
literacy instruction. In some stores, bus stations, and street
corners, you will be able to ask for information from the roving robot
information kiosks! Key components of each of these future
applications have already been demonstrated (at least in prototype
form). Speech isn't just for people any more!

the size of the file is large and it takes time to load the file. so
if you use JPEG file then whether we can get some benefit is terms of

Xalan - What is it?

XALAN is not a VIRUS

Xalan-Java - Java XSLT processor.

Xalan-C++ - C version of the XSLT processor for multiple platforms.

Xalan is an XSLT processor for transforming XML documents into HTML, text, or other XML document types.

Xalan-C++ version 1.9 is a robust implementation of the W3C Recommendations for XSL Transformations (XSLT) and the XML Path Language (XPath). It works with a compatible release of the Xerces-C++ XML parser: Xerces-C++ version 2.6.0. The focus for this release is on bug fixes, pluggable memory management, and enhanced stability improvements in stylesheet execution

Xalan-Java is an XSLT processor for transforming XML documents into HTML, text, or other XML document types. It implements XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 1.0 and XML Path Language (XPath) Version 1.0. It can be used from the command line, in an applet or a servlet, or as a module in other program.

Xalan-Java recasts Xalan as an implementation of the Transformation API for XML (TrAX) interfaces, part of the Java API for XML Processing 1.2. TrAX provides a modular framework and a standard API for performing XML transformations, and it utilizes system properties to determine which Transformer and which XML parser to use.

Xalan-Java also builds on SAX 2 and DOM level 2.

phone displays (XALAN) on the screen don't answer the call, END THE CALL
IMMEDIATELY, if you answer the call, your phone will be infected by a virus.
This virus will erase all IMEI and IMSI information from both your phone and
your SIM card, which will make your phone unable to connect with the
telephone network. You will have to buy a new phone. This information has
been confirmed by both Motorola and Nokia. There are over 3 Million mobile
phones being infected by this virus in all around the world now. You can
also check this news in the CNN web site. PLEASE FORWARD THIS PIECE OF
INFORMATION TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS HAVING A MOBILE.

The Technology behind Speech Recognition

Have you ever called up an office without knowing the extension
number of the person you're trying to reach? It can be a nightmare
because you have to dial the operator for assistance, who might be
busy attending other calls, thereby putting your call on eternal
hold. So despite the office having a system with the technology for
automatic call transfer, manual intervention is required. The same
problem exists with other IVR (Interactive Voice Response) based
systems where you have to push a lot of buttons on the telephone
keypad to reach the desired service.
While IVR systems have their own advantage, and have been deployed
worldwide, another technology is gaining ground. That is ASR
(Automatic Speech Recognition) systems. This allows customers to
interact with a computer using their natural voice instead of
pushing buttons on the telephone keypad. For instance, in the office
example above, you don't have to remember the extension number of
the person you're calling. You have to just say the person's name,
and your call is automatically transferred. We'll look at the
technology behind ASR systems.
There are two parts to ASR, one where the speech gets converted to
words, and the other where the system derives meaning from these
words and produces a specific action, such as responding to the
customer. Each is a separate process in itself.
Speech to word
There are two phases in the speech-recognition process,
preprocessing and decoding. The first is called feature extraction,
where the spoken speech is converted to digital form. A Fast Fourier
Transform function is applied to convert the recorded speech to
frames. Each frame covers a few milliseconds of speech. It's
converted into a feature vector, which contains the frequency and
energy information of each frame. There are different kinds of
feature extraction techniques, which include Filterbank, Mel
Cepstrum and PLP. These differ based on the application and
environment they'll be used in. The feature vectors are then fed to
the decoding process in order to covert them into sentences.
The decoding process starts by passing the feature vectors through
an Acoustic Model. An Acoustic Model contains information on how
various words and sub-words are pronounced. It consists of phonemes,
triphones, syllables and whole words. Phonemes by definition are the
smallest unit of speech, resembling distinctive parts of spoken
words. A Triphone is also a phoneme, but contains information on the
phonemes that precede and follow it. An Acoustic Model is made by
collecting all varieties of human speech from people of different
age, sex, and dialect.
The Acoustic Model is used to map the feature vectors to different
sub-word units. Once the sub-words are recognized, they're mapped to
words of an application lexicon using what's called the Hidden
Markov Model or HMM. This is the most widely used statistical model
in speech recognition. It uses probability to derive words, and
further sentences from the sub-word units. Simply speaking, it
starts from a sub-word (current state), and knows all probabilities
of which sub-words it could possibly transition to.
HMM is used not only to derive words from sub-words by mapping them
against an application lexicon, but also whole sentences by mapping
them to a language model. The lexicon is structured like a tree to
ease the recognition process. So the recognition of a particular
word starts from the tree's root, which would be the beginning of a
sub-word, and ends on a leaf, which is the word's end. There could
be various paths from the root to the leaf, and the best one would
be the right word. The most likely path to this leaf is determined
by what's called the Viterbi algorithm. The algorithm can use
pruning techniques to remove the improbable paths in the tree. Once
words are formed from the application lexicon, they must be passed
through a language model to create sentences. A language model is
application dependant and contains information on what word
sequences are mostly used by the callers. It recognizes sentences by
forming word graphs. These are the most probable sentences that
could have been spoken by the caller.
Meaning from speech
Once the speech-recognition process forms a word graph form the
utterance, it's passed to the speech understanding module to derive
a meaning. This module then parses the word graph using it's own
grammar rules, which are specific to the application it's being used
in, and derives concepts and fillers. Here, concepts are words that
match the grammar rules, and fillers are unrecognized words. So if
you call up a flight reservation system and say, "I would like go
from Delhi to Mumbai", the speech understanding module will
understand "from Delhi to Mumbai", and tag it as concept, and the
rest would be fillers. The combination of concepts and meaningful
fillers is formed into a concept graph, and the program calculates
the best sentence alternatives for it. Finally, the optimal sentence
alternative is derived using statistical techniques.

Subject: Image Processing: JPEG Vs BMP navs_cse

Query:

We are using BMP file to display image in our project (VC++).But the size of the file is large and it takes time to load the file. so if you use JPEG file then whether we can get some benefit is terms of processing. i.e. Whether to use JPEG files are better than BMP in terms of efficiency ignoring the image quality.

Answers:

JPEG images will contain compressed data. So if you are using the JPEG’s for further analysis, it may create a problem.

The algorithm you are using for the BMP processing will not give the same performance with JPEG if you are using motion queues

In terms of processing it will definitely give the advantage over the BMP. So if you are using only for the display purpose its good to use jpeg images than bmp

After loading JPEG to your software, the computer makes room in memory to hold the data in 8 bits with 3 bytes each representing colour information. Hence, there is no way you can save or process faster or slower for different file formats. What JPEG or JPG offers is saving disk space by encoding certain information. Whether you load JPG or BMP both works at same pace.
