Speech-input multi-target machine translation
2007
In order to simultaneously translate speech into multiple languages an extension of stochastic finite-state transducers is proposed. In this approach the speech translation model consists of a single network where acoustic models (in the input) and the multilingual model (in the output) are embedded. The multi-target model has been evaluated in a practical situation, and the results have been compared with those obtained using several mono-target models. Experimental results show that the multi-target one requires less amount of memory. In addition, a single decoding is enough to get the speech translated into multiple languages.
Complexity of operations on cofinite languages
2010
International audience; We study the worst case complexity of regular operation on cofinite languages (i.e., languages whose complement is finite) and provide algorithms to compute efficiently the resulting minimal automata.
Implicit Wiener Filtering for Speech Enhancement In Non-Stationary Noise
2021
Speech quality is degraded in the presence of background noise, which reduces the quality of experience (QoE) of the end-user and therefore motivates the usage of speech enhancement algorithms. A large number of approaches have been proposed in this context. However most of them have focused on the case where the noise is stationary, an assumption that seldom holds in practice. For instance, in mobile telephony, noise sources with a marked non-stationary spectral signature include vehicles, machines, and other speakers to name a few. On the other hand, the usage of frequency-domain information in existing algorithms for speech enhancement in non-stationary noise environments can be made mor…
Existence and uniqueness of nontrivial collocation solutions of implicitly linear homogeneous Volterra integral equations
2011
We analyze collocation methods for nonlinear homogeneous Volterra-Hammerstein integral equations with non-Lipschitz nonlinearity. We present different kinds of existence and uniqueness of nontrivial collocation solutions and we give conditions for such existence and uniqueness in some cases. Finally we illustrate these methods with an example of a collocation problem, and we give some examples of collocation problems that do not fit in the cases studied previously.
Neutral baryonic systems with strangeness
2020
We review the status as regards the existence of three- and four-body bound states made of neutrons and $\Lambda$ hyperons. For interesting cases, the coupling to neutral baryonic systems made of charged particles of different strangeness has been addressed. There are strong arguments showing that the $\Lambda nn$ system has no bound states. $\Lambda\Lambda nn$ strong stable states are not favored by our current knowledge of the strangeness $-1$ and $-2$ baryon-baryon interactions. However, a possible $\Xi^- t$ quasibound state decaying to $\Lambda\Lambda nn$ might exist in nature. Similarly, there is a broad agreement about the nonexistence of $\Lambda\Lambda n$ bound states. However, the …
The complexity of graph languages generated by hyperedge replacement
1990
Although in many ways, hyperedge replacement graph grammars (HRGs) are, among all graph generating mechanisms, what context-free Chomsky grammars are in the realm of string rewriting, their parsing problem is known to be, in general, NP-complete. In this paper, the main difficulty in HRG parsing is analysed and some conditions on either grammar or input graphs are developed under which parsing can be done in polynomial time. For some of the cases, the parsing problem is shown to be log-space reducible to context-free string parsing.
Towards an understanding of discrete ambiguities in truncated partial wave analyses
2017
It is well known that the observables in a single-channel scattering problem remain invariant once the amplitude is multiplied by an overall energy- and angle-dependent phase. This invariance is called the continuum ambiguity and acts on the infinite partial wave set. It has also long been known that, in the case of a truncated partial wave set, another invariance exists, originating from the replacement of the roots of partial wave amplitudes with their complex conjugate values. This discrete ambiguity is also known as the Omelaenko-Gersten-type ambiguity. In this paper, we show that for scalar particles, discrete ambiguities are just a subset of continuum ambiguities with a specific phase…

Exposing dark sector with futureZ-factories
2019
We investigate the prospects of searching dark sector models via exotic [Formula: see text]-boson decay at future [Formula: see text] colliders with Giga [Formula: see text] and Tera [Formula: see text] options. Four general categories of dark sector models: Higgs portal dark matter, vector portal dark matter, inelastic dark matter and axion-like particles, are considered. Focusing on channels motivated by the dark sector models, we carry out a model independent study of the sensitivities of [Formula: see text]-factories in probing exotic decays. The limits on branching ratios of the exotic [Formula: see text] decay are typically [Formula: see text] for the Giga [Formula: see text] and [For…
Investigation of the elastic and inelastic scattering of He-3 from Be-9 in the energy range 30-60 MeV
2018
We have measured the differential cross-sections for the elastic as well as inelastic scattering populating the 2.43[Formula: see text]MeV [Formula: see text] excited state in [Formula: see text] using [Formula: see text] beams at energies of 30, 40 and 47[Formula: see text]MeV on a [Formula: see text] target. The experimental results for the elastic scattering were analyzed within the framework of the optical model using the Woods–Saxon and double-folding potentials. The theoretical calculations for the concerned excited states were performed using the coupled-channel method. The optimal deformation parameters for the excited states of [Formula: see text] nucleus were extracted.
