An Autoencoder with Bilingual Sparse Features for Improved Statistical Machine Translation
We propose a natural autoencoder that maps all the discrete and overlapping sparse features for each SCFG rule into a continuous vector, so that the information encoded in sparse feature…

Computationally-Efficient Endpointing Features for Natural Spoken Interaction with Personal-Assistant Systems
We elicit personal-assistant speech using a recognizer with a dramatically increased endpoint threshold, and find frequent non-final pauses. Based on the new data, we develop low-cost acoustic features to discriminate…

Dissociation of Preparatory Attention and Response Monitoring Maturation During Adolescence
The objective was to assess development of EEG markers of these strategies and their role in both preparatory attention (contingent negative variation, CNV) and response monitoring (Error Related Negativity, ERN,…

A Novel Scheme for Speaker Recognition Using a Phonetically-Aware Deep Neural Network
We propose a novel framework for speaker recognition in which extraction of sufficient statistics for the state-of-the-art i-vector model is driven by a deep neural network (DNN) trained for automatic…

Identification and optimization of PDE10A inhibitors using fragment-based screening by nanocalorimetry and X-ray crystallography
Here we use enthalpy arrays, which are arrays of nanocalorimeters, to perform an enzyme activity-based fragment screen for competitive inhibitors of phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A).

The Influence of Family Socioeconomic Status on the Post–High School Outcomes of Youth With Disabilities
Results show that SES had a statistically significant but relatively small effect on outcomes, to a sizable extent the effect of SES was mediated by other factors...

Who is where? Characteristics of deaf and hard-of-hearing students in regular and special schools
A secondary analysis of the National Longitudinal Transition Study 2 database was conducted to examine differences in the characteristics of students who attended special schools, such as schools for the…

Fabrication of Highly Spin-Polarized Co2FeAl0.5Si0.5 Thin-Films
Ferromagnetic Heusler Co2FeAl0.5Si0.5 epitaxial thin-films have been fabricated in the L21 structure with saturation magnetizations over 1200 emu/cm3.

Mechatronic Design of an Integrated Robotic Hand
In this paper, we present a hand designed for minimalistic dexterous manipulation, in which every stage of the design process also considered its manufacturing cost. Finally, we present the results…

A Synthesized Algorithm for Interactive Consistency
We discovered our algorithm using an automated synthesis technique that is based on bounded model checking and QBF solving. Our synthesis technique is general and simple, and it is a…
