Copyright detection and protection system and method
TL;DR: In this article, a method for detecting against unauthorized transmission of digital works comprises the steps of maintaining a registry of information permitting identification of digital copyrighted works, monitoring a network for transmission of at least one packet-based digital signal, extracting at least 1 feature from the at least digital signal and comparing the extracted feature with registry information and applying business rules based on the comparison result.

Continuously variable duration hidden Markov models for automatic speech recognition
TL;DR: The solution proposed here is to replace the probability distributions of duration with continuous probability density functions to form a continuously variable duration hidden Markov model (CVDHMM) which is ideally suited to specification of the durational density.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Markov model of heteroskedasticity, risk, and learning in the stock market☆
TL;DR: This paper examined a variety of models in which the variance of a portfolio's excess return depends on a state variable generated by a first-order Markov process and found that the mean excess return moves inversely with the level of risk.

NLStradamus: a simple Hidden Markov Model for nuclear localization signal prediction
TL;DR: An approach using hidden Markov models (HMMs) to predict novel NLSs in proteins is suggested, and it is found that this method is able to consistently find 37% of the NLS's with a low false positive rate and that the method retains its true positive rate outside of the yeast data set used for the training parameters.

TL;DR: In this paper, a polynomial with nonnegative coefficients homogeneous of degree d in its variables is shown to be polynomially homogeneous unless 3(3(x))>P(x), where 3(x)=x.

The Gamma Function
Willi Freeden,Martin Gutting +1 more
TL;DR: The Gamma function as discussed by the authors is a generalized factorial function that can be used to estimate the probability distribution of a probability distribution, and it has been used in many applications, e.g., as part of probability distributions.
