On The Average-Case Running Time Of The Boyer-Moore Algorithm, Russell W. Quong Dec 1989

On The Average-Case Running Time Of The Boyer-Moore Algorithm, Russell W. Quong

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

The Boyer-Moore algorithm (BM) is a fast, compact algorithm for finding all occurrences of a pattern string in a text string. Previous papers have addressed the worst-case running time of BM, which occurs rarely in practice. In this paper, we derive an approximation to Φ (BM) the average number of character probes made by BM. Let M = pattern length, N = text string length, α = the alphabet size, q = 1 /α and q= I — q. By modeling BM as a probabilistic finite automaton, we show that Φ(BM) h when M < α and that Φ(BM ) N q(l + g V ) when M > α. An immediate consequence is that …

Robust Techniques For Bearing Estimation In Contaminated Gaussian Noise, R. L. Kashyap, David D. Lee, N. Srinivasa Dec 1989

Robust Techniques For Bearing Estimation In Contaminated Gaussian Noise, R. L. Kashyap, David D. Lee, N. Srinivasa

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

The problem of estimating directions-of-arrival (DOA) of radiating sources from measurements provided by a passive array of sensors is frequently encountered in radar, sonar, radio astronomy and seismology. In this study various robust methods for the DOA estimation problem are developed, where the term robustness refers to insensitivity against small deviation in the underlying Gaussian noise assumption. The first method utilizes an eigenvector method and robust reconstruction of the correlation matrix by time series modeling of the array data; Secondly, a decentralized processing scheme is considered for geographically distributed array sites. The method provides reliable estimates even when a few …

The Pseiki Report -- Version 3. Evidence Accumulation And Flow Of Control In A Hierarchical Spatial Reasoning System, K. M. Andress, A. C. Kak Nov 1989

The Pseiki Report -- Version 3. Evidence Accumulation And Flow Of Control In A Hierarchical Spatial Reasoning System, K. M. Andress, A. C. Kak

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

A fundamental goal of computer vision research is the development of systems capable of carrying out scene interpretation using knowledge of the expected scene. Here, we describe PSEIKI, a framework for expectation-driven interpretation of image data. PSEIKI performs expectation-driven processing by matching elements, such as edges and regions, detected in an image with model-elements front a supplied expected scene. PSEIRI builds abstraction hierarchies in image data using cues taken from the supplied abstractions in the expected scene. Hypothesized abstractions in the image data are geometrically compared with the known abstractions in the expected scene; the metrics used for these comparisons …

Parallel, Self-Organizing, Hierarchical Neural Networks, O. K. Ersoy, D. Hong Sep 1989

Parallel, Self-Organizing, Hierarchical Neural Networks, O. K. Ersoy, D. Hong

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

A new neural network architecture called the parallel self-organizing hierarchical neural network (PSHNN) is discussed. The PSHNN involves a number of stages in which each stage can be a particular neural network (SNN). At the end of each SNN, error detection is carried out, and a number of input vectors are rejected. Between 2 SNN’s there is a nonlinear transformation of those input vectors rejected by the first SNN. The PSHNN has many desirable properties such as optimized system complexity in the sense of minimized self-organizing number of stages, high classification accuracy, minimized learning and recall times, and truly parallel …

Adaptive Networks As A Model For Human Speech Development, M. Fernando Tenorio, M. Daniel Tom, Richard G. Schwartz Aug 1989

Adaptive Networks As A Model For Human Speech Development, M. Fernando Tenorio, M. Daniel Tom, Richard G. Schwartz

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Unrestricted English text can be converted to speech through the use of a look up table, or through a parallel feedforward network of deterministic processing units. Here, we reproduce the network structure used in NETtalk. Several experiments are carried out to determine which characteristics of the network are responsible for which learning behavior, and how closely that maps human speech development. The network is also trained with different levels of speech complexity, and with a second language. The results are shown to be highly dependent on statistical characteristics of the input.
