Maximum confidence measurements via probabilistic quantum cloning

Probabilistic quantum cloning（PQC） cannot copy a set of linearly dependent quantum states.In this paper,we show that if incorrect copies are allowed to be produced,linearly dependent quantum states may also be cloned by the PQC.By exploiting this kind of PQC to clone a special set of three linearly dependent quantum states,we derive the upper bound of the maximum confidence measure of a set.An explicit transformation of the maximum confidence measure is presented.

Confidence support vector domain description

To accelerate the training of support vector domain description （SVDD）, confidence support vector domain description （CSVDD） is proposed based on the observation that the description boundary is determined by a small subset of training data called support vectors. Namely, the number of training samples in the userdefined sphere is calculated and taken as the confidence measure, according to which the training samples are ranked in ascending order. Those former ranked ones are selected as the boundary targets for the SVDD training. Simulations on UCI data demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of CSVDD： the number of training targets and the training time are reduced without any loss of accuracy.

Variable precision rough set for multiple decision attribute analysis

A variable precision rough set (VPRS) model is used to solve the multi-attribute decision analysis (MADA) problem with multiple conflicting decision attributes and multiple condition attributes. By introducing confidence measures and a β-reduct, the VPRS model can rationally solve the conflicting decision analysis problem with multiple decision attributes and multiple condition attributes. For illustration, a medical diagnosis example is utilized to show the feasibility of the VPRS model in solving the MADA problem with multiple decision attributes and multiple condition attributes. Empirical results show that the decision rule with the highest confidence measures will be used as the final decision rules in the MADA problem with multiple conflicting decision attributes and multiple condition attributes if there are some conflicts among decision rules resulting from multiple decision attributes. The confidence-measure-based VPRS model can effectively solve the conflicts of decision rules from multiple decision attributes and thus a class of MADA problem with multiple conflicting decision attributes and multiple condition attributes are solved.

Phoneme Based Speaker-Independent English Command Recognition

In this paper we propose a new algorithm of phoneme based speaker independent English command recognition and develop a speaker independent English command recognition system. It accelerates the whole system development by using HTK (hide Markov toolkits) and Visual C++ based on the character'istics of speaker independent speech recognition. In recognition phase we combine the confidence measures with incomplete matching, which considerably improve the quality of recognition. The recognition accuracy is increased by 4.8% over complete matching without back end processing when the sige of vocabulary is more than 10.
