Concatenative Text-To-Speech Synthesis: A Study On Standard Colloquial Bengali., Soumen Chowdhury Dr.
Doctoral Theses
The primary communication process between human beings is Speech. Speech synthesis is the automatic and artificial generation of the speech signal by a machine. A TTS (Text-To-Speech) synthesis system is one which can generate speech signal from a string of text in a given language. The development in the speech synthesis systems in various languages has been going on for several decades. With the unprecedented expansion of IT (Information Technology) invading the life of the common man it is highly desirable that at least the information dissemination be made via the speech mode which is the most natural mode of …

Multiattribute Acceptance Sampling Plans., Anup Majumdar Dr.
Doctoral Theses
Irrespective of the type of product, evaluation of conformity to specified requirements of its quality characteristics is an integral part of quality assurance. Although they form a set of necessary verification activities almost at all stages of production, these activities, known as inspection do not add value to the product on their own and are to be kept at their minimum. The sampling inspection where a portion of a collection of product units is inspected on a set of characteristics with a view to making decision about acceptance or otherwise becomes relevant in this context.The number of elements of the …

Essays On Individual And Collective Powers In A Voting Body., Sonali Roy Dr.
Doctoral Theses
MotivationThe issue of measurement of voting power is a very important topic of discussion in social science these days. The concept of voting power concerns any collective decision making body (or, equivalently, a collectivity) which makes ‘yes’ or ‘no’ decisions on any issue, by the process of voting. Examples of such bodies abound in today’s world. The United Nations Security Council, The Council of Ministers in the European Union, the Parliament of the republic of India, the board room of any corporate house etc., are all examples of such decision making bodies.The voting process of each of these bodies is …

Some New Methodologies For Pattern Recognition Aided By Self-Organizing Maps., Arijit Laha Dr.
Some New Methodologies For Pattern Recognition Aided By Self-Organizing Maps., Arijit Laha Dr.
Doctoral Theses
In this thesis we develop several techniques for performing different pattern recognition tasks. In particular, the pattern recognition tasks considered here are classification and vector quantization. We propose several methods for designing classifiers and address various issues involved in the task. For vector quantization, we develop a method for image compression with superior psychovisual reproduction quality. We also propose a method for fast codebook search in a vector quantizer. We exploit different properties of Self-organizing Map (SOM) network for developing these methods. Along with SOM, we also use fuzzy sets theory and Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence to design classi- fiers …

Building Efficient Systems From Data In A Computational Intelligence Framework, Debrup Chakraborty Dr.
Doctoral Theses
There are problems of interest for which precise mathematical or physical understanding is yet to come. Let us illustrate this with an example. Suppose, for a mining operation one needs to blast a certain portion of the soil/rock using some specific ex- plosives. Before the blast is made, the miners want to know the intensity of vibration that would be produced at a certain distance from the site of blasting. The intensity of vibration may de pend on several factors. For example, it will depend on the characteristics and quantity of the explosive used, the rock characteristics of the region, …
Some Nonparametric And Semiparametric Methods For Discriminant Analysis., Anil Kumar Ghosh Dr.
Some Nonparametric And Semiparametric Methods For Discriminant Analysis., Anil Kumar Ghosh Dr.
Doctoral Theses
Discriminant analysis (see e.g., Devijver and Kittler, 1982; Duda, Hart and Stork, 2000; Hastle, Tibahirani and Friedman, 2001) deals with the separation of different groups of obaervationa and allocation of a new oboervation to one of the previously delined grouga. In a J-class discriminant analysis problem, we usually hae a training sample of the form {(xk, ck) : k = 1,2,...,N}, where xk = (Ik1,Ik2,...J) is a d-dimensional measarement vector, and ca € {1,2,...,J} is its class label. On the basis of thia training sample, one aims to form a decision rule d(x) : Rd + (1,2,...,J} for clasifying the …

Morphological Tower: A Tool For Multi-Scale Image Processing., Susanta Mukhopadhyay Dr.
Doctoral Theses
An image is a recorded replication of natural scene or objects using suitable sensor and recording media. The visual quality of the recorded image may be enhanced using various types of low-level processing namely noise smoothing, contrast enhancement. The images of the same scene recorded by several sensors reveal more inforination but in their own respective ways. This advantage of multi-sensor imaging system is real- ized through the fusion of the multimodal images. One more important higher-level processing is segmentation where the image is decomposed into a set of meaningful regions ( e.g. objects and background). An image, in general, …
Essays On Dynamic Disequilibrium Models., Arpita Dhar Dr.
Essays On Dynamic Disequilibrium Models., Arpita Dhar Dr.
Doctoral Theses
The present dissertation is devoted to the analysis of some problems of economic growth in the framework of what has been called Disequilibrium model.Studies on economic growth have been mostly confined, with few exceptions, to the analysis of equilibrium models. But in reality there are cases where the concept of equilibrium may not be relevant and hence a disequilibrium approach is needed. The present thesis is concerned with analysing some theoretical and empirical aspects of the problem of economic growth in a disequilibrium framework. At the theoretical level, the objective has been to re-examine the conclusions of some existing equilibrium …
On Some Generalized Transforms For Signal Decomposition And Reconstruction., Yumnam Singh Dr.
On Some Generalized Transforms For Signal Decomposition And Reconstruction., Yumnam Singh Dr.
Doctoral Theses
In this thesis, we propose two new subband transforms entitled ISITRA and YKSK transforms and their possible applications in image compression and encryption. Both these transforms are developed based on a common model of multiplication known as Bino’s model of multiplication. ISITRA is a convolution based transforms i.e., that both forward and inverse transform of ISITRA is based on convolution as in DWT or 2-channel filter bank. However, it is much more general than the existing DWT or 2-channel filter bank scheme in the sense that it we can get different kinds of filters in addition to the filters specified …

Some Studies On Uncertainty Management In Dynamical System Using Fuzzy Techniques With Applications., Kausik Majumdar Dr.
Doctoral Theses
Unceriain information processing by fuzzy if-then rules has received a lot of attention. Here we have taken a different path to model a system. about which we do not have precise information namely. modelling the system by fuzy valued functions without resorting to fuzzy if-then rules. As a result. the phase (state) space of the system becomes a full set and the underlying fuzzy mapping becomes a fuzzy attainability vet mappine. A fuzzy phase space is a collection of special class of furry subsets (fuzsy points) of R&for some positive integral n. Let the collection of all fuzr, real numbers …

On Textured Image Analysis Using Wavelets., Mausumi Acharyya Dr.
On Textured Image Analysis Using Wavelets., Mausumi Acharyya Dr.
Doctoral Theses
In image processing and computer vision research, we aim to derive better tools that give us different perspectives on the same image, allowing us to understand not only its content, but also its meaning and significance. Image processing can not compete with the human eye in terms of accuracy but it can outperform the latter easily on observational consistency, and ability to carry out detailed mathematical estimations. With time, image processing research has broadened from the basic pixel-based low- level operations to high-level analysis, that now includes the use of artificially intelligent techniques for image interpretation and understanding. These new …
Essays On Minimum Cost Spanning Tree Games., Anirban Kar Dr.
Essays On Minimum Cost Spanning Tree Games., Anirban Kar Dr.
Doctoral Theses
There is a wide range of economic contexts in which aggregate costs have to be allocated amongst individual agents or components who derive t he benefits from a common project. A firm has to allocate overheard costs atmongst its different divisions. Regulatory authorities have to set taxes or fees on individual users for a variety of services. Partners in a joint venture must share costs (and benefits) of the joint venture. For example, when two doctors share an office they need to divide the cost of office space, medical equipment and secretarial help. If several municipalities use a common water …

Some Issues On Time Varying Risk Premium In Arch-M Model., Samarjit Das Dr.
Doctoral Theses
Since the 1970's it has been observed in many economies that financial and macroeconomic variables like equity prices, treasury bill rates and exchange rates have become more and more volatile in nature. This may be due tumor flexible monetary policies pursued in these countries as well as due to their increasing exposure towards various international developments. Accordingly, economic agents are facing increasingly more and more risky environment. Re- searchers as well as professional economists in the area of capital and business finance have, therefore, been increasingly attracted in recent years towards studying the effect of risk and uncertainty on asset …
Aspects Of Financial Dualism In Less Developed Country., Rajalaxmi Mallik Dr.
Aspects Of Financial Dualism In Less Developed Country., Rajalaxmi Mallik Dr.
Doctoral Theses
One significant aspect of the economic dualism that characterises less developed countries (LDCS) is financial dualism. This is manifested through the co-existence of formal-lenders (FLs) and informal-lenders (ILs), in the credit markets of LDCS, which stands in stark contrast to the integrated, organised and efficiently functioning credit markets of the developed countries. FLs refer to the large institutional lenders, like commercial banks and other government owned banks that are subject to various central bank regulations. The ILs on the other hand are a heterogeneous lot and consist of non-institutional lenders like indigenous bankers, moneylenders, traders, landlords etc., who are outside …

Problems include robotic vision and con- trol, geographic and topographic map matching, target recognition, space applications, character recognition, scene analysis, fingerprint and face recognition, etc. Lately, with the advent of content-based image retrieval (CBIR) and proliferation of the Internet, digital imaging applications are in vogue now than ever before. In almost all the cases, the data size is enormously large, and at the same time, fast on-line as well as real- time computation is needed. For example, in fingerprint …
On The Approximability Of Linear Ordering And Related Np-Optimization Problems., Sounaka Mishra Dr.
On The Approximability Of Linear Ordering And Related Np-Optimization Problems., Sounaka Mishra Dr.
Doctoral Theses
We investigate approximability of both maximum and minimum linear ordering problems (MAX-LOP and MIN-LOP) and several related problems such as the well known feedback set problems, acyclie subdigraph problem and several others and their variants.We show that both MAX-LOP and MIN-LOP are strongly NP-complete, and MIN- LOP, MIN-QAP(S) (a special case of minimum quadratic assignment problem) and MIN-W-FAS are equivalent with respect to strict-reduction. The strict-equivalence is also established among these problems as well as MIN-W-FVS, with weights on arcs/vertices bounded by a polynomial, and the unweighted versions of the feedback set. problems. We also show that MAX-LOP is strict-equivalent …
