A generative model of a human voice is presented, based on many pseudo-physical considerations. For robustness, observation noise is also included in the model. An EM-algorithm framework for inference and learning is then described. An instance of approximate inference and subsequent learning presented allows an extraction of voice parameter which can be used for structured coding application. This set of parameters allows a great amount of compression as well as the flexibility in making modification to pitch, duration and breathiness, noise-free synthesis compared to other non-parametric approaches.

Creative thinking plays a crucial role in guiding artistic creation. However, Traditional Creative Thinking (TCT) currently lacks scientific and actionable frameworks for artistic creation. This paper proposes Interaction-based Creative Thinking (IbCT) and uses a collage creation experiment to validate its effectiveness. The experiment identifies key factors involved in collage creation and recruits 35 designers each for the experimental group (using IbCT) and the control group (using TCT). The Think-aloud Protocol (TAP) was employed to record the verbal expressions of participants during the artistic creation process for coding. The Divergence Index (D), based on the Cognitive coding scheme, is used to evaluate the depth of thinking in artistic creation, while the Microscopic Ideation Index (I), based on the Micro-concept coding scheme, assesses the quantity of creativity in artistic creation. The data reveals that: (1) with the involvement of key factors, the experimental group significantly outperforms the control group in terms of D, increasing the frequency of cognitive activities in artistic design and promoting the depth of thinking in artistic creation. (2) Within the experimental group, D is higher when key factors are involved, confirming the positive impact of these factors on artistic creation. However, in the control group, no differences are observed regardless of whether key factors are involved. The IbCT proposed in this paper regards creative thinking as a result of the interaction of multiple key factors, providing directional direction for artistic creation and its thinking, and solving the research gap of TCT with weak directionality. This paper not only reveals the internal mechanism and cognitive model of IbCT, but also paves new pathways for artistic creation and provides new perspectives for artistic creation.

The problem of computing a linear combination of sources over a multiple access channel is studied. Inner and outer bounds on the optimal tradeoff between the communication rates are established when encoding is restricted to random ensembles of homologous codes, namely, structured nested coset codes from the same generator matrix and individual shaping functions, but when decoding is optimized with respect to the realization of the encoders. For the special case in which the desired linear combination is "matched" to the structure of the multiple access channel in a natural sense, these inner and outer bounds coincide. This result indicates that most, if not all, coding schemes for computation in the literature that rely on random construction of nested coset codes cannot be improved by using more powerful decoders such as the maximum likelihood decoder. The proof techniques are adapted to characterize the rate region for broadcast channels achieved by Marton's (random) coding scheme under maximum likelihood decoding. By generalizing some of the techniques, a single-letter outer bound for the capacity region of the computation problem is presented and compared with the inner bound achieved by homologous codes.

Consider a pair of correlated Gaussian sources (X-1, X-2). Two separate encoders observe the two components and communicate compressed versions of their observations to a common decoder. The decoder is interested in reconstructing a linear combination of X-1 and X-2 to within a mean-square distortion of D. We obtain an inner bound to the optimal rate-distortion region for this problem. A portion of this inner bound is achieved by a scheme that reconstructs the linear function directly rather than reconstructing the individual components X-1 and X-2 first. This results in a better rate region for certain parameter values. Our coding scheme relies on lattice coding techniques in contrast to more prevalent random coding arguments used to demonstrate achievable rate regions in information theory. We then consider the case of linear reconstruction of K sources and provide an inner bound to the optimal rate-distortion region. Some parts of the inner bound are achieved using the following coding structure: lattice vector quantization followed by "correlated" lattice-structured binning.

Data processing does not necessarily fit iterative techniques and this paper examines the difficulties inherent in the processing implied using SET and MERGE processing in SAS. When we need to access disparate data either across observations or across datasets, it can result in complex, unwieldy code. In these situations, we can use the functionality of the OPEN and associated functions to flexibly access data, producing well-structured and concise code. The paper gives an overview of the functions associated with OPEN and demonstrates their use with the identification of subjects who satisfy algorithmic SMQs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Degree of freedom of MIMO interference channels with constant channel coefficients is studied in this paper. An asymmetric interference alignment and cancelation scheme is proposed for the 3-user MIMO interference channels with constant channel coefficients. With M antennas at each transmitter and N antennas at each receiver, the total degree of freedom M+2N/2 can be achieved by the proposed scheme for N < M <= 2N.
