The paper presents a unit selection-based speech synthesis approach for mandarin Chinese. Unit selection-based approach generates speech by selecting proper units from a speech co...
In many pattern recognition applications, high-dimensional feature vectors impose a high computational cost as well as the risk of "overfitting". Feature Selection addre...
In contrast to the existing airport gate assignment studies where flight have fixed schedules, we consider the more realistic situation where flight arrival and departure times can...
Optimizing the pump-scheduling is an interesting proposal to achieve cost reductions in water distribution pumping stations. As systems grow, pump-scheduling becomes a very diffic...
Abstract--The Distributed Stochastic Algorithm (DSA), Distributed Breakout Algorithm (DBA), and variations such as Distributed Simulated Annealing (DSAN), MGM-1, and DisPeL, are di...
