keyword spotting is the task of identifying the occurrences of certain desired keywords in an arbitrary speech signal. keyword spotting has many applications. One of them is emergency voice alarm systems, like command control and smart monitoring ATM etc. This paper presents a sensitive keyword spotting system applied to voice alarm occasions. By sensitive keyword retrieval, emergency warning systems can automatically monitor and follow up the situation, find the crisis occurs, and then give the alarm. Automatically retrieving and tracking for the particular occasion can not only save a lot of manpower and material resources, but is also more efficient. So the study of this subject has great reality and application value.

A single click ensemble segmentation (SCES) approach based on an existing "Click & Grow" algorithm is presented. The SCES approach requires only one operator selected seed point as compared with multiple operator inputs, which are typically needed. This facilitates processing large numbers of cases. Evaluation on a set of 129 CT lung tumor images using a similarity index (SI) was done. The average SI is above 93% using 20 different start seeds, showing stability. The average SI for 2 different readers was 79.53%. We then compared the SCES algorithm with the two readers, the level set algorithm and the skeleton graph cut algorithm obtaining an average SI of 78.29%, 77.72%, 63.77% and 63.76%, respectively. We can conclude that the newly developed automatic lung lesion segmentation algorithm is stable, accurate and automated. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In this paper, containment control for continuous-time multi-agent systems with multiple interacting leaders is investigated. According to the role each agent plays in the multi-agent team, the agents are classified into two categories: leaders and followers. The containment control problem in this paper is that the leaders converge to a desired formation and the followers move into the convex hull spanned by the leaders' final positions. A sufficient condition for containment control is that the union of the interaction graphs has a spanning tree frequently enough as the system evolves. It is shown that the followers' positions in the convex hull are dynamic due to the switching topology. The theoretical results are illustrated by some simulations.

License Plate Recognition based on machine vision has been widely used in ITS(Intelligent Transportation System) and Smart Parking System. In this paper, we developed a system which included the image acquisition, license plate location, character segmentation and character recognition. To improve the accuracy of the license plate location, we improved the effect of the binary image positioning method. In character segmentation, we solved several typical license plate characteristics. In order to improve the accuracy of segmentation, we have taken a variety of methods to deal with their respective characteristics. In character recognition, we use template matching method and considered whether to consider the background matching. In the system, we just adopted the image recognition to recognize the characters. With no significant exposure, the area of license plate is more than 1/5 of the total images, we can get a good recognition.

Social networks often serve as a critical medium for information dissemination, diffusion of epidemics, and spread of behavior, by shared activities or similarities be- tween individuals. Recently, we have witnessed an explosion of interest in studying social influence and spread dynamics in social networks. To date, relatively little material has been provided on a comprehensive review in this field. This brief survey addresses this issue. We present the current significant empirical studies on real social systems, including network construction methods, measures of network, and newly em- pirical results. We then provide a concise description of some related social models from both macro- and micro-level per- spectives. Due to the difficulties in combining real data and simulation data for verifying and validating real social sys- tems, we further emphasize the current research results of computational experiments. We hope this paper can provide researchers significant insights into better understanding the characteristics of personal influence and spread patterns in large-scale social systems.

Robot have been increasingly and significantly more powerful and intelligent over the last decade, and moving towards more service oriented roles. Imitation learning and human-robot interaction play important roles in effectively improving robot's intelligence and ability to co-work with human being. This paper reviews the current state of the art in robot learning and controlling based on imitation learning and human-robot interaction. Recent research, imitation, and the control strategy for imitation learning are addressed. Human-robot physical interaction and multi-modal interaction are emphasized.

In this study, the authors propose a novel adaptive dynamic programming scheme based on general value iteration (VI) to obtain near optimal control for discrete-time affine non-linear systems with continuous state and control spaces. First, the selection of initial value function is different from the traditional VI, and a new method is introduced to demonstrate the convergence property and convergence speed of value function. Then, the control law obtained at each iteration can stabilise the system under some conditions. At last, an error-bound-based condition is derived considering the approximation errors of neural networks, and then the error between the optimal and approximated value functions can also be estimated. To facilitate the implementation of the iterative scheme, three neural networks with Levenberg-Marquardt training algorithm are used to approximate the unknown system, the value function and the control law. Two simulation examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

The core function of any profitable firm is capturing a share of the value that customer perceives in the firm's offering. Value capture is traditionally considered to relate to a competitive advantage at the firm level, but not the firm network level. However, the ever increasing role of information and knowledge in today's economy is profoundly changing how firms can create competitive advantages. Among these changes, we highlight reducing transaction costs in various areas of the economy, which drives the economy to organize more toward rapidly evolving networks or smaller firms. There is also an opposite trend for some internet firms to become larger due to economies of scale and due to network externalities. In this position paper, we examine the issue of value capture by firms that are increasingly small and operate in rapidly changing and evolving networks. We conclude by outlining future research on firm-level capabilities that are required to enable value capture in new forms of dynamic networks.
