Abstract:

This dissertation describes the development of an evaluation tool that can be used by an acoustican during the design stage of enclosures used for unassisted speech. Enclosures include lecture theatres, lecture halls and speech auditoriums. The tool is designed to enable Acousticians to be able to manipulate various acoustical parameters such as the geometry and the materials or construction selection to gauge the impact on speech performance. The tool can also be used to evaluate the performance of speech privacy within spaces using the Speech Transmission Index. Computer simulation tools hav

Abstract:

Deficits in conversation skills can be one barrier to developing and maintaining relationships for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Individuals with ASD may deter conversation partners if they do not stay on topic or if they dwell on topics. Several interventions have been identified in targeting the reduction of problematic (off-topic or perseverative) speech, and withheld attention for its occurrence. In addition to leveraging attention as a reinforcer, one study provided signaled access to preferred topics contingent on talking about non-perseverative or therapist-selected t

Abstract:

<p> This case study evaluated the effects of differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO) on scripting in a four year-old child with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Celiac Disease. The overall goal was to show that DRO as the only independent variable could reduce scripting in a child with autism. A vibrator was set to vibrate every six minutes to indicate the end of each interval during intervention and the behavior was measured using a partial-interval time sampling method during the two hour in-home private Applied Behavior Analysis session over a two month

Abstract:

This research is motivated by the benefits that knowledge regarding early development in infants may provide to different fields of science. In particular, early sensorimotor exploration behaviors are studied in the framework of developmental robotics. The main objective is about understanding the role of motor constraint awareness and imitative behaviors during sensorimotor exploration. Particular emphasis is placed on prelinguistic vocal development because during this stage infants start to master the motor systems that will later allow them to pronounce their first words.

Abstract:

The overall aim of the current research was to investigate the corticostriatal system in developmental language impairment (DLI) at the behavioral and neuroanatomical levels. Two groups of young adults, one with DLI (N = 25) and the other without (N = 23), participated in the behavioral study. A sample of procedural learning and reinforcement learning (RL) tasks was selected. Each task represents a unique aspect of procedural memory, and learning processes during these tasks have been linked, at least partially, to the functionality o

Abstract:

La quantité de diffusion de signaux de parole dans les habitacles automobiles est de plus en plus importante : télécommunications, radio, système de navigation...

L'objectif de cette thèse est alors de développer des outils de renforcement de la parole visant à traiter les signaux avant leur dégradation afin d'assurer une bonne intelligibilité dans le bruit des habitacles automobiles.

Abstract:

Vehicles driving in the urban settings experience substantial disturbances from neighbouring vehicles and traffic signals. Deviating from the optimal trajectory causes excessive fuel consumption and delay. This research proposes a novel adaptive driving-speed-control algorithm using a Reinforcement Learning (Q-learning) approach. The proposed algorithm can respond to the prevailing traffic conditions and traffic-controls conditions at signalised intersection environment and provides the control vehicle with target driving-speeds to achieve fuel savings. The micro-simulation results confirm the

This study on the enhancement of high-speed flywheel energy storage is to investigate composite materials that are suitable for high-speed, high-energy density for energy storage and/or energy recovery. The main motivation of the study is to explore the application of the flywheel in the aviation industry for recovering some of the energy that is currently being lost at the wheel brakes of an aircraft due to the high temperature developed in the brake stack as a result of landing, frequent brake applications during taxiing in or out of heavy traffic airports and rejected take-off.

Empirical studies show that similar patterns emerge from a large number of different biological systems. For example, the group size distributions of several fish species and house sparrows all follow power law distributions with an exponential truncation. Networks built by ant colonies, slime mold and those are designed by engineers resemble each other in terms of structure and transportation efficiency. Based on the investigation of experimental data, we propose a variety of simple stochastic models to unravel the underlying mechanisms which lead to the collective phenomena in different syst

The present work deals with the behavior of ancient railway sub-structure in France. A statistical study was firstly undertaken on problems occurred in the whole ancient French railway network. The analysis evidenced the particular importance of sub-grade quality for the performance of the sub-structure and the track geometry. Afterwards, an ancient railway line in the West of France was investigated. The analysis showed that the degradation speed of this line was correlated with different parameters such as the nature of sub-grades and the thickness of different layers. An increase trend of d

Abstract:

Speeding remains a significant contributing factor to road trauma internationally, despite increasingly sophisticated speed management strategies being adopted around the world. Increases in travel speed are associated with increases in crash risk and crash severity. As speed choice is a voluntary behaviour, driver perceptions are important to our understanding of speeding and, importantly, to designing effective behavioural countermeasures. The four studies conducted in this program of research represent a comprehensive approach to examining psychosocial influences on driving speeds in two co

Koizumi's research group proposed deep-neural-network-based reinforcement learning (DNN-RL) to enhance the speech in accordance with the speech quality. Their method is said to utilize limited training data efficiently and is better than the DNN-mapping method. Hence, we propose three optimization techniques to further boost the performance. First, we propose two procedures to define the actions and make a comparison between other number of templa

For example, to a rat deciding between one path that will bring it to a piece of cheese and another that will bring it to the jaws of a cat, there is a clear reason for the rat to prefer one choice over the other. Two criteria for adjusting decision making for optimal outcome are to make decisions as accurately as possible – choose the course of action most likely to resu
