In the year 2012, there were approximately 226,160 cases of lung cancer and 160,340
deaths out of it as per the National Cancer Institute. There are mainly two types of lung …

In recent studies, the chaotic behavior of a signal is confirmed using scalogram analysis of
continuous-wavelet transform. Chaotic component of a speech signal can be verified …

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) has recorded appreciable progress both in
technology and application. Despite this progress, there still exist wide performance gap …

In this work, nonlinear acoustic information is combined with traditional linear acoustic
information to produce a noise-robust feature set for speech recognition. Classical acoustic …

Geophysical fields, notably rainfall or atmospheric turbulence, exhibit very specific
features:(i) Strongly nonlinear fundamental equations which yield non trivial behaviour;(ii) …

Abstract Hidden Markov Models and Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC's) are a
sort of standard for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems, but they fail to capture the …

Digital diagnostic pathology has become one of the most valuable and convenient
advancements in technology over the past years. It allows us to acquire, store and analyze …

The following paper introduces a group of novel speech-signal descriptors that reflect
phoneme-pronunciation variability and that can be considered as potentially useful features …
