MOSAIC Model for Sensorimotor Learning and Control
TL;DR: Simulations of an object manipulation task prove that the MOSAIC architecture can learn to manipulate multiple objects and switch between them appropriately and shows generalization to novel objects whose dynamics lie within the polyhedra of already learned dynamics.

Minimum classification error rate methods for speech recognition
TL;DR: The issue of speech recognizer training from a broad perspective with root in the classical Bayes decision theory is discussed, and the superiority of the minimum classification error (MCE) method over the distribution estimation method is shown by providing the results of several key speech recognition experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prognostic modelling options for remaining useful life estimation by industry
TL;DR: Business issues that need to be considered when selecting an appropriate modelling approach for trial are discussed and classification tables and process flow diagrams are presented to assist industry and research personnel select appropriate prognostic models for predicting the remaining useful life of engineering assets within their specific business environment.
Journal Article
Fitting Phase-type Distributions via the EM Algorithm
TL;DR: An extended EM algorithm is used to minimize the information divergence (maximize the relative entropy) in the density approximation case and fits to Weibull, log normal, and Erlang distributions are used as illustrations of the latter.

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.
