The determination of quality of the signals obtained by blind source separation is a very important subject fordevelopment and evaluation of such algorithms. When this approach is used as a pre-processing stage for automatic ...

According to the Documents Model framework (Britt, Perfetti, Sandak, & Rouet, 1999) readers' detection of contradictions within texts increases their integration of source-content links (i.e., who says what). The present ...

Social insects use cuticular lipids for nestmate recognition. These lipids are chiefly hydrocarbons that can be endogenously produced or acquired from the environment. Although these compounds are already described as ...

The huge amount of multimedia content accumulated daily has demanded the development of effective retrieval approaches. In this context, speaker recognition methods capable of automatically identifying a person through ...

Experimental tests were conducted with the lizard Liolaemus tenuis (Tropiduridae), to determine the potential sources of pheromones used in its chemical communication, centered in the phenomenon of self-recognition. During ...

In this paper, we propose to replace the classical black box integration of automatic speech recognition technology in HRI applications with the incorporation of the HRI environment representation and modeling, and the ...

Recent research has shown that entrance guards of the stingless bee Tetragonisca angustula make less errors in distinguishing nestmates from non-nestmates than all other bee species studied to date, but how they achieve ...
