Quantile based histogram equalization for noise robust speech recognition
In many practical applications automatic speech recognition systems have to work in adverse acoustic environment conditions. Automatic systems are much more sensitive to the variabilities of the acoustic signal than humans. Whenever noise causes a mismatch between the distribution of the training …

A unified methodology for the management of time-dependent information in aeronautical systems
… will make feasible a variety of decision-support systems that require the communication of time-varying information. Historically, the exchange of information via voice communication has been managed through heuristically developed manual procedures. This thesis proposes a generalized approach to …
