Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImprovement of Tone Intelligibility for Average-Voice-Based Thai Speech SynthesisSuphattharachai Chomphan, Chutarat ChompunthProblem statement: Tone intelligibility in speech synthesis is an important attribute that should be taken into account. The tone correctness of the synthetic speech is degraded considerably in the average-voice-based HMM-based Thai speech synthesis. The tying mechanism in the decision tree based context clustering without appropriate criterion causes unexpected tone neutralization. Incorporation of the phrase intonation to the context clustering … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 24 Jan 2012 · 6,973 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Review on Clustering and Outlier Analysis Techniques in DataminingS. Koteeswaran, P. Visu, J. JanetProblem statement: The modern world is based on using physical, biological and social systems more effectively using advanced computerized techniques. A great amount of data being generated by such systems; it leads to a paradigm shift from classical modeling and analyses based on basic principles to developing models and the corresponding analyses directly from data. The ability to extract useful … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 26 Dec 2011 · 7,375 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffective Processing of Constraints based Spatial Join using R-TreesR. Parvathi, S. PalaniammalProblem statement: This study focuses on the spatial join effects with the constraints-based spatial data without any extra cost and Finding the minimum execution time of the spatial query and spatial selection method. Approach: Spatial joins are used to combine the spatial objects. The efficient processing depends upon the spatial queries.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractObject Recognition Based on Image Segmentation and ClusteringS. Thilagamani, N. ShanthiProblem statement: This study deals with object recognition based on image segmentation and clustering. Acquiring prior information of an image is done via two separate processes. Approach: The first process deals with detecting object parts of an image and integration of detected parts into several clusters. All these cluster centers form the visual words. The second process deals with over … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 6 Sep 2011 · 7,078 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Improved Clustering Based Genetic Algorithm for Solving Complex NP ProblemsR. Sivaraj, T. RavichandranProblem statement: The selection process is a major factor in genetic algorithm which determines the optimality of solution for a complex problem. The selection pressure is the critical step which finds out the best individuals in the entire population for further genetic operators. The proposed algorithm tries to find out the best individuals with reduced selection pressure than standard genetic … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 28 Jun 2011 · 6,931 accessesView PDFCite
