Improving Speaker Identification Robustness to Highly Channel-Degraded Speech Through Multiple System Fusion
This article describes our submission to the speaker identification (SID) evaluation for the first phase of the DARPA Robust Audio and Transcription of Speech (RATS) program.

Modulation of Limbic-Cerebellar Functional Connectivity Enables Alcoholics to Recognize Who Is Who
Using an fMRI paradigm, we investigated whether memory performance by alcoholics on a face–name association test previously observed to be problematic for alcoholics could be explained by desynchronous activity between…

Articulatory trajectories for large-vocabulary speech recognition
We present a neural network model to estimate articulatory trajectories from speech signals where the model was trained using synthetic speech signals generated by Haskins Laboratories’ task-dynamic model of speech…

Hybrid Printed Electronic Systems
This report describes a hybrid sensing platform which reads in data from multiple printed sensors based either on organic or nanoparticle semiconductors (resistive light and heat sensors in this case),…

Bootstrapping trust in online dating: social verification of online dating profiles
This paper presents the results of a qualitative study on online dating practices.

Midbrain-Driven Emotion and Reward Processing in Alcoholism
Enhanced midbrain activation to alcohol-related words suggests neuroadaptation of dopaminergic midbrain systems. We speculate that such tuning is normally associated with behavioral conditioning to optimize responses but here contributed to…

A Systematic Screen of FDA-Approved Drugs for Inhibitors of Biological Threat Agents
The feasibility of repurposing existing drugs to face novel threats is demonstrated and this represents the first effort to apply this approach to high containment bacteria and viruses.

The Ability of Plasma Cotinine to Predict Nicotine and Carcinogen Exposure Is Altered by Differences in CYP2A6: The Influence of Genetics, Race, and Sex
Cotinine, a nicotine metabolite, is a biomarker of tobacco, nicotine, and carcinogen exposure. However, a given cotinine level may not represent the same tobacco exposure; for example, African-Americans have higher…

Android Provenance: Diagnosing Device Disorders
We propose operating system auditing and data provenance tracking as mechanisms for generating useful traces of system activity and information flow on mobile devices.

Towards an Evidence Framework for Design-Based Implementation Research
In this chapter, we compare the approach to evidence implicit in the defining features of DBIR to the prevailing evidence standards for educational research promoted by national policy.

Pharmacological Characterization of GPR120 Ligands
The goal of the current study was to understand GPR120 ligand selectivity by testing agonist activity of various fatty acids in cell based assays to measure G-protein activated second messengers,…

On the Applicability of Speaker Diarization to Audio Indexing of Non-Speech and Mixed Non-Speech/Speech Video
This paper explores how unsupervised audio segmentation systems like speaker diarization can be adapted to automatically identify low-level sound concepts similar to annotator defined concepts and how these concepts can…
