Unsupervised Deep Feature Embeddings For Speaker Diarization, Rehan Ahmad, Syed Zubair Jan 2019

Unsupervised Deep Feature Embeddings For Speaker Diarization, Rehan Ahmad, Syed Zubair

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Speaker diarization aims to determine ?who spoke when?? from multispeaker recording environments. In this paper, we propose to learn a set of high-level feature representations, referred to as feature embeddings, from an unsupervised deep architecture for speaker diarization. These sets of embeddings are learned through a deep autoencoder model when trained on mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) of input speech frames. Learned embeddings are then used in Gaussian mixture model based hierarchical clustering for diarization. The results show that these unsupervised embeddings are better compared to MFCCs in reducing the diarization error rate. Experiments conducted on the popular subset of the …

A Quasi-Z-Source Active Neutral Point Clamped Inverter Topology Employingsymmetrical/Unsymmetrical Boost Modulation Control Scheme For Renewableenergy Resources, Rehan Majeed, Danial Saleem, M. Imtiaz Hussain, Muhammad Talha Gul, Muhammad Rehan Usman, Salman Majeed

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper proposes a bipolar quasi-Z-source active neutral point clamped inverter (QZS-ANPCI) topology. It acts as a buck/boost inverter (3-phase, 3-level) to integrate renewable energy resources under their fluctuating DC voltages. We propose a symmetrical/unsymmetrical boost modulation control technique to mitigate the DC-link unbalance voltage problem in an ANPC inverter. This worthwhile control technique exploits voltage-current closedloops on AC and DC sides to regulate the desired parameters. Moreover, the constant boost control (CBC) modulation has provided a switching sequence that generates a symmetrical/unsymmetrical full shoot-through (FST) state for boosting input DC voltage in the proposed inverter. Detailed loss and efficiency …

Limited-Data Automatic Speaker Verification Algorithm Using Band-Limitedphase-Only Correlation Function, Ángel Pedroza, José De La Rosa, José De Jesus Villa, Aldonso Becerra Jan 2019

Limited-Data Automatic Speaker Verification Algorithm Using Band-Limitedphase-Only Correlation Function, Ángel Pedroza, José De La Rosa, José De Jesus Villa, Aldonso Becerra

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, a new method to deal with automatic speaker verification based on band-limited phaseonly correlation (BLPOC) is proposed. The aim of this study is to validate the use of the BLPOC function as a new limited-data automatic speaker verification technique. Although some speaker verification techniques have high accuracy, efficiency usually depends on the extraction of complex theoretical information from speech signals and the amount of the data for training the algorithms. The BLPOC function is a high-accuracy biometric technique traditionally implemented in human identification by fingerprints (through image-matching). When applying the BLPOC function in automatic speaker verification through …

A Comparative Study On Handwritten Bangla Character Recognition, Md. Atiqul Islam Rizvi, Kaushik Deb, Md. Ibrahim Khan, Mir Md. Saki Kowsar, Tahmina Khanam

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Recognition of handwritten Bangla characters has drawn considerable attention recently. The Bangla language is rich with characters of various styles such as numerals, basic characters, and compound and modifier characters. The inherent variation in individual writing styles, along with the complex, cursive nature of characters, makes the recognition task more challenging. To compare the outcomes of handwritten Bangla character recognition, this study considers two different approaches. The first one is classifier-based, where a hybrid model of the feature extraction technique extracts the features and a multiclass support vector machine (SVM) performs the recognition. The second one is based on a …

Adaptive Switching Gain Sliding Mode Control For Speed Regulation In Pmsms, Yanwei Huang, Yuqing Xie, Zheyi Liu Jan 2019

Adaptive Switching Gain Sliding Mode Control For Speed Regulation In Pmsms, Yanwei Huang, Yuqing Xie, Zheyi Liu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

To suppress uncertainties caused by parametric variations or disturbances, an adaptive switching gain (ASG) is proposed for integral sliding mode control (ISMC) to regulate speed in permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs). According to system uncertainties, the ASG is designed to adjust the switching gain to suppress the chattering. The adaptive law is a positive value resulting in an increment of the switching gain when the tracking trajectory is outside the boundary layer. Conversely, it is negative with a decrement of the gain. Further, it improves a convergent rate by the function of the reciprocal of the tracking error when the …

Fault-Tolerant Control Of A Pmsg-Based Wind Turbine Based On Parallelinterleaved Converters, Mohamed Abbes Jan 2019

Fault-Tolerant Control Of A Pmsg-Based Wind Turbine Based On Parallelinterleaved Converters, Mohamed Abbes

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Lowering the cost of wind energy has been one of the main objectives of the wind industry in the past years. To achieve this objective, considerable research efforts have been made to improve the availability of wind turbines. Recent statistical analyses have shown that frequency converters are among the most frequently failing components for variable speed wind systems. Therefore, several configurations were proposed in the literature to improve the availability of these generating devices. These configurations are mainly based on the redundancy of power converters (active and standby) or the converter bypass technique. However, for the special case of PMSG-based …

Importance-Based Signal Detection And Parameter Estimation With Applications To New Particle Search, Hati̇ce Doğan, Nasuf Sönmez, Güleser Kalayci Demi̇r

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

One of the hardest challenges in data analysis is perhaps the detection of rare anomalous data buried in a huge normal background. We study this problem by constructing a novel method, which is a combination of the Kullback?Leibler importance estimation procedure based anomaly detection algorithm and linear discriminant classifier. We choose to illustrate it with the example of charged Higgs boson (CHB) search in particle physics. Indeed, the Large Hadron Collider experiments at CERN ensure that CHB signal must be a tiny effect within the irreducible W-boson background. In simulations, different CHB events with different characteristics are produced and judiciously …

Sparsity-Based Three-Dimensional Image Reconstruction For Near-Field Mimo Radar Imaging, Fi̇gen S. Oktem Jan 2019

Sparsity-Based Three-Dimensional Image Reconstruction For Near-Field Mimo Radar Imaging, Fi̇gen S. Oktem

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Near-field multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar imaging systems are of interest in diverse fields such as medicine, through-wall imaging, airport security, concealed weapon detection, and surveillance. The successful operation of these radar imaging systems highly depends on the quality of the images reconstructed from radar data. Since the underlying scenes can be typically represented sparsely in some transform domain, sparsity priors can effectively regularize the image formation problem and hence enable high-quality reconstructions. In this paper, we develop an efficient three-dimensional image reconstruction method that exploits sparsity in near-field MIMO radar imaging. Sparsity is enforced using total variation regularization, and the …

Empirical Single Frequency Network Threshold For Dvb-T2 Based On Laboratory Experiments, Bundit Ruckveratham, Sathaporn Promwong Jan 2019

Empirical Single Frequency Network Threshold For Dvb-T2 Based On Laboratory Experiments, Bundit Ruckveratham, Sathaporn Promwong

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

DVB-T2 broadcasting with a single frequency network (SFN) allows an efficient management of frequency utilization and extends the coverage area, which will enable more people to view a broadcast. The SFN mode also increases the concentration of the signal in overlap areas. However, some difference of overlap areas in actual use of SFN networks may have some degradation of the received signal due to the effect of the SFN. In this research, we analyze SFN broadcasting in SISO mode. This paper represents the effects of delays on the SFN signal over different delay times within the guard interval (GI) by …

A Comprehensive Methodology To Evaluate The Performance Of A Cooperative Wireless Network, Aykut Kalaycioğlu, Ahmet Akbulut, Asim Egemen Yilmaz, Di̇lek Arslan Jan 2019

A Comprehensive Methodology To Evaluate The Performance Of A Cooperative Wireless Network, Aykut Kalaycioğlu, Ahmet Akbulut, Asim Egemen Yilmaz, Di̇lek Arslan

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Performance evaluation of a cooperative wireless communication network depends on several parameters. Many of the studies, in fact, take a limited number of performance metrics individually to reach a conclusion about the performance of a network. Besides, in general, some performance metrics might be in conflict. Thus, ignoring the combined effect of all performance criteria in the network may lead to an incorrect conception of the overall communication performance of the network. Therefore, in this study, a comprehensive evaluation methodology in terms of various metrics is proposed to calculate the performance of a cooperative wireless communication network deployment using a …

A Heuristic Algorithm To Find Rupture Degree In Graphs, Rafet Durgut, Tufan Turaci, Hakan Kutucu Jan 2019

A Heuristic Algorithm To Find Rupture Degree In Graphs, Rafet Durgut, Tufan Turaci, Hakan Kutucu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Since the problem of Konigsberg bridge was released in 1735, there have been many applications of graph theory in mathematics, physics, biology, computer science, and several fields of engineering. In particular, all communication networks can be modeled by graphs. The vulnerability is a concept that represents the reluctance of a network to disruptions in communication after a deterioration of some processors or communication links. Furthermore, the vulnerability values can be computed with many graph theoretical parameters. The rupture degree $r(G)$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is an important graph vulnerability parameter and defined as $r(G)=max\{\omega(G-S)- S -m(G-S):\omega(G-S)\geq2, S\subset V \}$, where …

Global Stabilization Of A Class Of Fractional-Order Delayed Bidirectional Associativememory Neural Networks, Zhanying Yang, Xiaoyun Tang, Jie Zhang

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper focuses on the stabilization problem of a class of fractional-order bidirectional associative memory neural networks with time delays. Based on feedback control, a sufficient condition is derived to achieve the global stabilization of systems by using the fractional inequality, the Lyapunov stability theory, and the comparison principle. In particular, this kind of control scheme is proved to be robust in the presence of external disturbances when the feedback gains are sufficiently large. In addition, a condition is obtained to achieve the global quasi-stabilization of systems with some external disturbances, and the corresponding error bound is estimated. Finally, some …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

High end-to-end delay is a major challenge in autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV)-aided routing protocols for underwater monitoring applications. In this paper, a new routing protocol called atomic-shaped efficient delay and data gathering (ASEDG) has been introduced for underwater wireless sensor networks. The ASEDG is divided into two phases; in the first phase, the atomic-shaped trajectory model with horizontal and vertical ellipticals was designed for the movement of the AUV. In the second phase, two types of delay models were considered to make our protocol more delay efficient: member nodes (MNs) to MNs and MNs to gateway nodes (GNs). The MNs-to-MNs …

In this algorithm, a method for finding interest points is proposed, and the object matching (classification) is done by mapping interest points onto a vector space. In cases where the lines in the representation of the images are not smooth, the algorithm converges rapidly. The results of the experiments showed that for convergence of the contour simplification, there were 5-6 iterations for $n = 13$. To check how close the curve approximation calculated by the algorithm …

Parallel Brute-Force Algorithm For Deriving Reset Sequences From Deterministic Incomplete Finite Automata, Uraz Cengi̇z Türker Jan 2019

Parallel Brute-Force Algorithm For Deriving Reset Sequences From Deterministic Incomplete Finite Automata, Uraz Cengi̇z Türker

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A reset sequence (RS) for a deterministic finite automaton $\mathscr{A}$ is an input sequence that brings $\mathscr{A}$ to a particular state regardless of the initial state of $\mathscr{A}$. Incomplete finite automata (FA) are strong in modeling reactive systems, but despite their importance, there are no works published for deriving RSs from FA. This paper proposes a massively parallel algorithm to derive short RSs from FA. Experimental results reveal that the proposed parallel algorithm can construct RSs from FA with 16,000,000 states. When multiple GPUs are added to the system the approach can handle larger FA.

The imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA), inspired by sociopolitical behavior in the real world, is a new optimization algorithm. The ICA shows great potential to solve complex optimization problems. In order to improve the ICA's exploration ability and speed up its convergence, two improved schemes are proposed in this paper. The first scheme presents a new possession probability in the imperialistic competition phase. Inspired by geopolitics, not only the power of the empire but also the distance between the imperialists are taken into account in calculating the new possession probability. The second scheme introduces the wavelet mutation operator into the original …

Test Case Prioritization And Distributed Testing Of Object-Oriented Program, Vipin Kumar K S, Sheena Mathew Jan 2019

Test Case Prioritization And Distributed Testing Of Object-Oriented Program, Vipin Kumar K S, Sheena Mathew

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Software systems have increased in size and complexity. As a result, object-oriented programming (OOP) is increasingly being used in the development of such large and complex systems. Traditional procedural programming requires a design method that follows a sequential flow of control, which is difficult to follow in the case of large systems design. Thinking in terms of real-life objects and their interactions makes design easier in the case of OOP. However, OOP comes with its own set of disadvantages and testing is one of them. Testing of such systems requires much more effort and time. In our approach the program …

Schedulability Analysis Of Real-Time Multiframe Cosimulations On Multicore Platforms, Muhammad Uzair Ahsan, Mehmet Hali̇t Seyfullah Oğuztüzün Jan 2019

Schedulability Analysis Of Real-Time Multiframe Cosimulations On Multicore Platforms, Muhammad Uzair Ahsan, Mehmet Hali̇t Seyfullah Oğuztüzün

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

For real-time simulations, the fidelity of simulation depends not only on the functional accuracy of simulation but also on its timeliness. It is helpful for simulation designers if they can analyze and verify that a simulation will always meet its timing requirements without unnecessarily sacrificing functional accuracy. Abstracting the simulated processes simply as software tasks allows us to transform the problem of verifying timeliness into a schedulability analysis problem where tasks are checked as to whether they are schedulable under the timing constraints or not. In this paper we extend a timed automaton-based framework due to Fersman and Yi for …

Reusable And Interactive Classes: A New Way Of Object Composition, Saeid Masoumi, Ali Mahjur Jan 2019

Reusable And Interactive Classes: A New Way Of Object Composition, Saeid Masoumi, Ali Mahjur

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Separating object features from base classes is one of the popular ways of software development. Some popular programming approaches like object-oriented programming, feature-oriented programming, and aspect-oriented programming follow this approach. There are four advantages of using features: 1) Instantiability: the ability to create instances of a feature, 2) Reusability: the quality of a feature being reusable in many compositions, 3) Loosely coupled composability: the ability to compose/decompose features easily at object instantiation time (not offering new data types for compositions), and 4) Interactability: the ability of a feature to crosscut (interact with) other features inside the object. Existing approaches do …

Incremental Author Name Disambiguation Using Author Profile Models And Self-Citations, Ijaz Hussain, Sohail Asghar Jan 2019

Incremental Author Name Disambiguation Using Author Profile Models And Self-Citations, Ijaz Hussain, Sohail Asghar

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Author name ambiguity in bibliographic databases (BDs) such as DBLP is a challenging problem that degrades the information retrieval quality, citation analysis, and proper attribution to the authors. It occurs when several authors have the same name (homonym) or when an author publishes under several name variants (synonym). Traditionally, much research has been conducted to disambiguate whole bibliographic database at once whenever some new citations are added in these BDs. However, it is more time-consuming and discards the manual disambiguation effects (if any). Only a few incremental author name disambiguation methods are proposed but these methods produce fragmented clusters which …

Enhancing Face Pose Normalization With Deep Learning, Anil Çeli̇k, Nafi̇z Arica

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this study, we propose a hybrid method for face pose normalization, which combines the 3-D model-based method with stacked denoising autoencoder (SDAE) deep network. Instead of applying a mirroring operation for the invisible face parts of the posed image, SDAE learns how to fill in those regions by a large set of training samples. In the performance evaluation, we compare the proposed method to four different pose normalization methods and investigate their effects on facial emotion recognition and verification problems in addition to visual quality tests. Methods evaluated in the experiments include 2-D alignment, 3-D model-based method, pure SDAE-based …
