  2. 11. Selection of stimuli for listening tests by software-assisted ranking

    Author : Jonas Ekeroot; Nicholas Zacharov; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Ljudteknik; Audio Technology;

    Abstract : Within the academic field of audio technology, which is the context of this thesis, research questions related to various forms of perceptual audio evaluation of different types of audio systems are important and commonly encountered. Methods for systematic evaluations of listeners’ perceived audio quality, based on different experimental designs, have evolved over a time span of several decades and are collectively referred to as listening tests.

  4. 12. Efficient commuter craft for urban waterborne public transportation

    Author : Harsha Cheemakurthy; Karl Garme; Joakim Kalantari; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; waterborne public transportation; commuter ferry; modular design; operational requirements; ranking method; sustainable performance; ice operations; ice-hull Interaction; ice load; ice properties; kollektivtrafik på vatten; modulärt färjekoncept; modulär design; rankningsmetod; hållbarhetsparametrar; isbelastning; isförhållanden; isegenskaper; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Abstract : There has been a recent surge in interest in waterborne public transportation (WPT). Publictransport providers (PTP) are seeing its potential in complementing the existing transportnetwork and alleviating urban traffic congestion and pollution. But the adoption of WPTtoday is challenging due to a series of technical and implementation challenges. READ MORE

  5. 13. Accumulation from Below : Smallholders and public irrigation investments in Kilombero Valley, Tanzania

    Author : Victor Mbande; Lowe Börjeson; Johan Berg; Liwenga Liwenga; Klara Fischer; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Accumulation; social differentiation; wealth ranking; irrigation; smallholders; agriculture transformation; land use change; rice boom; progressive farmers; development; geografi med kulturgeografisk inriktning; Geography with Emphasis on Human Geography;

    Abstract : Smallholders in Tanzania and elsewhere in Africa are increasingly differentiated. This thesis contributes to the empirical and conceptual understanding of the differentiation processes in irrigation by following the internal dynamics among smallholders linked to public investments in improving smallholder initiated small scale irrigation schemes in Kilombero district, Tanzania.

  6. 14. Dynamic Resampling for Preference-based Evolutionary Multi-objective Optimization of Stochastic Systems : Improving the efficiency of time-constrained optimization

    Author : Florian Siegmund; Kalyanmoy Deb; Amos H.C. Ng; Sanaz Mostaghim; Högskolan i Skövde; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Evolutionary multi-objective optimization; simulation-based optimization; guided search; preference-based optimization; reference point; decision support; noise; stochastic systems; dynamic resampling; budget allocation; sequential sampling; hybrid; ranking and selection; Natural sciences; Naturvetenskap; Technology; Teknik; Production and Automation Engineering; Produktion och automatiseringsteknik;

    Abstract : In preference-based Evolutionary Multi-objective Optimization (EMO), the decision maker is looking for a diverse, but locally focused non-dominated front in a preferred area of the objective space, as close as possible to the true Pareto-front. Since solutions found outside the area of interest are considered less important or even irrelevant, the optimization can focus its efforts on the preferred area and find the solutions that the decision maker is looking for more quickly, i.

  7. 15. Information state based speech recognition

    Author : Rebecca Jonson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; dialogue systems; speech recognition; language modelling; dialogue move; dialogue context; ASR; higher level knowledge; linguistic knowledge; N-Best re-ranking; confidence scoring; confidence annotation; information state; ISU approach;

    Abstract : One of the pitfalls in spoken dialogue systems is the brittleness of automatic speech recognition (ASR). ASR systems often misrecognize user input and they are unreliable when it comes to judging their own performance. READ MORE
