Audio-Text Multimodal Speech Recognition via Dual-Tower Architecture for Mandarin Air Traffic Control Communications

In air traffic control communications (ATCC), misunderstandings between pilots and controllers could result in fatal aviation accidents. Fortunately, advanced automatic speech recognition technology has emerged as a promising means of preventing miscommunications and enhancing aviation safety. However, most existing speech recognition methods merely incorporate external language models on the decoder side, leading to insufficient semantic alignment between speech and text modalities during the encoding phase. Furthermore, it is challenging to model acoustic context dependencies over long distances due to the longer speech sequences than text, especially for the extended ATCC data. To address these issues, we propose a speech-text multimodal dual-tower architecture for speech recognition. It employs cross-modal interactions to achieve close semantic alignment during the encoding stage and strengthen its capabilities in modeling auditory long-distance context dependencies. In addition, a two-stage training strategy is elaborately devised to derive semantics-aware acoustic representations effectively. The first stage focuses on pre-training the speech-text multimodal encoding module to enhance inter-modal semantic alignment and aural long-distance context dependencies. The second stage fine-tunes the entire network to bridge the input modality variation gap between the training and inference phases and boost generalization performance. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed speech-text multimodal speech recognition method on the ATCC and AISHELL-1 datasets. It reduces the character error rate to 6.54% and 8.73%, respectively, and exhibits substantial performance gains of 28.76% and 23.82% compared with the best baseline model. The case studies indicate that the obtained semantics-aware acoustic representations aid in accurately recognizing terms with similar pronunciations but distinctive semantics. The research provides a novel modeling paradigm for semantics-aware speech recognition in air traffic control communications, which could contribute to the advancement of intelligent and efficient aviation safety management.

A control system of adding flotation reagents was established based on the LVQ neural net.

A machine learning-based study of multifactor susceptibility and risk control of induced seismicity in unconventional reservoirs

A comprehensive dataset from 594 fracturing wells throughout the Duvernay Formation near Fox Creek, Alberta, is collected to quantify the influences of geological, geomechanical, and operational features on the distribution and magnitude of hydraulic fracturing-induced seismicity. An integrated machine learning-based investigation is conducted to systematically evaluate multiple factors that contribute to induced seismicity. Feature importance indicates that a distance to fault, a distance to basement, minimum principal stress, cumulative fluid injection, initial formation pressure, and the number of fracturing stages are among significant model predictors. Our seismicity prediction map matches the observed spatial seismicity, and the prediction model successfully guides the fracturing job size of a new well to reduce seismicity risks. This study can apply to mitigating potential seismicity risks in other seismicity-frequent regions.

Adaptive target and jamming recognition for the pulse doppler radar fuze based on a time-frequency joint feature and an online-updated naive bayesian classifier with minimal risk

This paper considers the problem of target and jamming recognition for the pulse Doppler radar fuze(PDRF).To solve the problem,the matched filter outputs of the PDRF under the action of target and jamming are analyzed.Then,the frequency entropy and peak-to-peak ratio are extracted from the matched filter output of the PDRF,and the time-frequency joint feature is constructed.Based on the time-frequency joint feature,the naive Bayesian classifier(NBC)with minimal risk is established for target and jamming recognition.To improve the adaptability of the proposed method in complex environments,an online update process that adaptively modifies the classifier in the duration of the work of the PDRF is proposed.The experiments show that the PDRF can maintain high recognition accuracy when the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)decreases and the jamming-to-signal ratio(JSR)increases.Moreover,the applicable analysis shows that he ONBCMR method has low computational complexity and can fully meet the real-time requirements of PDRF.

Shoulder girdle recognition using electrophysiological and low frequency anatomical contraction signals for prosthesis control

Shoulder disarticulation amputees account for a small portion of upper-limb amputees,thus little emphasis has been devoted to developing functional prosthesis for this cohort of amputees.In this study,shoulder girdle recognition was investigated with acquired data from electrophysiological(electromyography[EMG])and low frequency contraction(accelerometer[Acc])signals from both amputee and non-amputee participants.The contribution of this study is based around the contrast of the classification accuracy(CA)for different sensor configurations using a unique set of signal features.It was seen that the fusion of the EMG-Acc produced an enhancement in the CA in the range of 10%-20%,depending on which windowing parameters were considered.From this,it was seen that the best combination of a windowing scheme and classifier would likely be for the 350 ms and spectral regression discriminant analysis,with a fusion of the EMG-Acc information.The results have thus provided evidence that the two sensors can be combined and used in practice for prosthesis control.Taking a holistic view on the study,the authors conclude by providing a framework on how the shoulder motion recognition could be combined with neuromuscular reprogramming to contribute towards easing the cognitive burden of amputees during the prosthesis control process.

Genetic-fuzzy HEV control strategy based on driving cycle recognition

A genetic-fuzzy HEV control strategy based on driving cycle recognition （DCR） was built. Six driving cycles were selected to represent different traffic conditions e.g. freeway, urban, suburb. A neural algorithm was used for traffic condition recognition based on ten parameters of each driving cycle. The DCR was utilized for optimization of the HEV control parameters using a genetic-fuzzy approach. A fuzzy logic controller （FLC） was designed to be intelligent to manage the engine to work in the vicinity of its optimal condition. The fuzzy membership function parameters were optimized using the genetic algorithm （GA） for each driving cycle. The result is that the DCR_ fuzzy controller can reduce the fuel consumption by 1. 9%, higher than only CYC _ HWFET optimized fuzzy （0.2%） or CYC _ WVUSUB optimized fuzzy （0.7%）. The DCR_ fuzzy method can get the better result than only optimizing one cycle on the complex real traffic conditions.
