Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAcoustic Model Adaptation for Indonesian Language Utterance Training SystemLinda Indrayanti, Yoshifumi Chisaki, Tsuyoshi UsagawaProblem statement: In order to build an utterance training system for Indonesian language, a speech recognition system designed for Indonesian is necessary. However, the system hardly works well due to the pronunciation variants of non-native utterances may lead to substitution/deletion error. This research investigated the pronunciation variant and proposes acoustic model adaptation to improve performance of the system. Approach: The … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 23 Oct 2010 · 7,173 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorpus-Based Analysis on Cross-Domain Experiments in Classification-and-Ranking GenerationAida Mustapha, Md. Nasir Sulaiman, Ramlan Mahmod, Mohd. Hasan SelamatProblem statement: Overgeneration-and-ranking architecture works well in written language where sentence is the basic unit. However, in spoken language where utterance is the basic unit, the disadvantage becomes critical as spoken language also render intentions, hence short strings may be of equivalent impact. Approach: In classification-and-ranking, response was deliberately chosen from dialogue corpus rather than wholly generated, such that it … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 23 Oct 2010 · 7,099 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Event-Based Methodology to Generate Class Diagrams and its Empirical EvaluationSandeep K. Singh, Sangeeta Sabharwal, J. P. GuptaProblem statement: Event-based systems have importance in many application domains ranging from real time monitoring systems in production, logistics, medical devices and networking to complex event processing in finance and security. The increasing popularity of Event-based systems has opened new challenging issues for them. One such issue is to carry out requirements analysis of event-based systems and build conceptual models. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 23 Oct 2010 · 7,632 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWellbore Surveying While Drilling Based on Kalman FilteringMahmoud ElGizawy, Aboelmagd Noureldin, Jacques Georgy et al.Problem statement: Oil and gas are global fuels obtained primarily from drilling wells in underground terrestrial reservoirs. Vertical drilling is preferred because of its simplicity and therefore low cost, but subsurface targets can often be procured only by directing the wellbore along predefined non-vertical trajectories. For instance, directional drilling must be employed to reach locations inaccessible to the drilling rig, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,584 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Ontology Driven, Procedural Reasoning System-Like Agent Model, For Multi-Agent Based Mobile Workforce Brokering SystemsArash Mousavi, Md. Jan Nordin, Zulaiha Ali OthmanProblem statement: It has been proven that Believe, Desire, Intention (BDI) agent architecture, performs suitably in dynamic and unpredictable environments. Although BDI architecture has been formulated rigorously, implementing BDI architecture is not as straightforward as it has been promised. Nevertheless, the preeminent implementation of BDI architecture is Procedural Reasoning System (PRS) and Jadex is a Java-based platform that successfully applies … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,667 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMachine Translation of Noun Phrases from Arabic to English Using Transfer-Based ApproachOmar Shirko, Nazlia Omar, Haslina Arshad, Mohammed AlbaredProblem statement: Any Arabic to English Machine Translation (MT) system should be capable of dealing with word order which Arabic exhibits. This poses a significant challenge to MT due to the vast number of ways to express the same sentence in Arabic. The ordering features are very important and should be carefully applied to ensure the generation of sentence in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,420 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDifferential Diagnosis Knowledge Building by Using CUC-C4.5 FrameworkKusrini, Sri Hartati, Retantyo Wardoyo, Agus HarjokoProblem statement: The Case Based Reasoning (CBR) method can be implemented in differential diagnosis analysis. C4.5 algorithm has been commonly used to help the method's knowledge building process. This process is completed by constructing decision tree from previously handled cases data. The C4.5 algorithm itself can be used with an assumption that all the cases has an exact and equal … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 8,421 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPiecewise Sliding Mode Decoupling Fault Tolerant Control SystemRafi Youssef, Hui PengProblem statement: Proposed method in the present study could deal with fault tolerant control system by using the so called decentralized control theory with decoupling fashion sliding mode control, dealing with subsystems instead of whole system and to the knowledge of the author there is no known computational algorithm for decentralized case, Approach: In this study we present a decoupling … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,391 accessesView PDFCite
