Adaptive filters have been successfully applied to diverse fields including communications, speech recognition, control systems, radar, seismology and biomedical engineering. Among various types of adaptive algorithms, the least-mean-square (LMS) algorithm is well known and widely adopted due to its simplicity and robustness to initial condition and noise. The performance of the LMS algorithm, in terms of convergence rate, maladjustment, mean-square error (MSE), and computational cost, is governed by the step- size. The frequency-domain (FD) adaptive filter algorithm is known to be able to reduce the numerical complexity by using the overlap-and-save implementation method. It incorporates block updating strategies where the fast Fourier …show more content…
A variable step-size algorithm is proposed in,by focusing on achieving low residual error specifically for the acoustic echo cancellation applications and also lacks of convergence analysis. Thus, we are motivated to develop an FD step-size control for LMS algorithm. Our objective is to achieve both fast convergence and low steady-state error, and to provide theoretical analysis on the convergence. A new bin-wise block-varying step size for the FD LMS algorithm. The optimal solution of step size at each iteration is derived by cancelling the a posteriori error in each frequency bin, and its estimate is connected to the magnitude-squared coherence (MSC) function. This Performs better than the existing FD algorithm in terms of both convergence rate and mean square deviation (MSD). Furthermore, compared to the TD algorithm, the proposed method converges faster in the presence highly of correlated filter input. 5.1.1 frequency-Domain Variable Step-Size LMS The derivation of the proposed FD step size control algorithm,
Learning, as defined by Slavin (2012), is “a change in an individual caused by experience” (p. 116). Learning can occur intentionally or unintentionally. All learning, however, is stimulated by something that is the learner (student) has encountered. As an instructor, your goal every day is to use the right stimuli to capture the student’s attention so they can absorb the knowledge you are trying to share.
Complexity science is the study of complex adaptive systems (CASs) and the relationships that occur within them. CASs are a function of what has previously occurred, what is currently occurring, and are open to energy and information from the environment all around them (Chaffee & McNeill, 2007). The boundaries that define theses systems are fuzzy; each individual is their own CAS that is influenced by a multitude of other CASs, all of which may belong to increasingly larger CASs. The health care system is a CAS in and of itself that is made of a multitude of smaller CASs – hospitals, floors, units, and individuals. There are a many characteristics that help to make up and define what a CAS is. Understanding these
Our actions are what define us as humans. Words are part of our actions. Therefore, our voice defines who we are, so when we change our voice we change the fabric of who we are. Zadie Smith, the author of “Speaking in Tongues”, knows this first hand when she moved from a working class district of London to Cambridge. She felt that she was able to have both, the Cambridge voice and the Willesden voice, and use them to expand her base of knowledge; like learning a new language. However, as she became more engrossed in her studies the core of her personality that kept her at her roots disappeared and she was consumed by the Cambridge life style. She lost herself in Cambridge because she was imitating the Cambridge life style and according to Susan Blackmore’s essay “Strange Creatures” humans imitate naturally to learn. As humans imitate they change and because they change, their voices change as well; building an idea within us that our voices need to be unified, or singular. When we change voices we change mindsets making it incredibly difficult to switch between two mindsets on a whim. Our voices must be singular in order for us to correctly display our identity to the world.
This process of Fourier transform and back-transform establishes the essential frequency components of the temporal data while eliminating high-frequency noise. This is a powerful technique to:
The overall learning algorithm now proceed as follows; first, propagate the input forward using equation 3.3 and equation 3.4; next, propagate the sensitivities back using equation 3.15 and equation 3.12; and lastly, update the weights and offset using equation 3.7, equation 3.8, equation 3.10 and equation 3.11.

Many educators operate their classrooms using a “learning theory” that they feel optimizes the best learning environment for their students. As an educator it is very important to create your own customized learning theory to use in your classroom. A customized learning theory is developed to create an optimum learning environment for students. Educators have to research and put into practice the ideas that they feel may work best in their classroom. In this paper, I will be discussing my own customized learning theory incorporating theoretical perspectives that I believe make an ideal learning environment.
For many Packer students, the internet filters on their laptops are a complete mystery. A search or website is blocked, and the reasoning and technology behind it is generally completely unknown. Recently, there’s been a shift in the packer communities internet access, which has been equally as misunderstood yet substantially more jarring to the average student. Director of technology Jim Anderson wants to clear up some of the confusion surrounding the recent changes, saying “It’s not a change in policy it’s a change in technology, and when we change the web filter solutions that we use for the school we change manufacturers basically, and different manufacturers use different algorithms and different processes for categorizing websites… One
I think the perceptual filter, media, had the most impact on how we see the world. In this day and age, we have an app for everything and there’s always gossip on every single one of them. In my opinion the campaigns for the US election was the worst. We had to be pick a president for our country and the two did nothing but bash each other ON THE MEDIA. From the media all I got out of the election was I either had to vote for a man who made women out to be victims and had no respect for them or a woman who should have been in prison already and lies so she looks like a good person. It was terrible.
The Signal and the Noise Why So Many Predictions Fail- but Some Don’t is a book written by Nate Silver an American statistician and writer who analyzes baseball and elections. The Signal and the Noise was published on September 27, 2012 in the United States after its first week in print it reached the New York Times Best Sellers list as No. 12 for non-fiction hardback books. The Signal and the Noise opens with an Introduction that looks at the rise of information availability over the past several centuries. It notes that though the increasing levels of information has lead to advantages in many areas (such as boosting the economy), it has also increased the sheer amount of incorrect or misleading information (the ‘noise’) that exists in the
Alejandro Portes and Min Zhou introduced the concept of segmented assimilation, which stressed a three-part path: assimilation for those with advantages in human capital, an ethnic disadvantage for some because of poverty and racialization, and the selective retention of ethnicity for yet others. Assessing present levels of assimilation among today's immigrant groups requires considering the possibility that the process itself may be changing. To ascertain this, we must first understand three major theories of immigrant and ethnic-group integration. The theories are the classic and new assimilation models, the racial/ethnic disadvantage model, and the segmented assimilation model. One of the general, classic assimilation theory sees immigrant/ethnic
After years of only being able to study the impact of small filter-feeders near the surface of the water, a group of scientists in Monterey Bay, California, have invented a camera and laser device that can record data on the effects of filter-feeders deep in the ocean.[1][2][4] This device, given the name DeepPIV (particle image velocimetry), spent June to December 2015 observing 2 species of giant larvaceans in the bay. Because larvaceans don’t form their mucus “house” in a lab, this was the first time scientists have gained insight as to how these mucus membranes play a role in oceanic carbon cycling.
In an experiment conducted by Forgas (2015), is the assimilation-accommodation model more reliable over the autobiographical mood induction?
Now, many may chastise me, and say that the twenty first century has everything to offer that the the mid-twentieth does. "We still have milkshakes. We still dance... And besides, segregation was in full swing!"
A hearing protection device (HPD) is often used as a protective measure in a workplace environment when the sound levels of that environment cannot be decreased and such levels pose a threat to the hearing of workers. An HPD is a safety device worn by individual’s to protect his or her hearing from the harmful effects of sound (Berger, 2003). A variety of occupational environments are known to produce high levels of noise, including factories and military operations. Individuals employed in these professions may be required to wear HPDs to reduce the risk of noise-induced hearing loss. However, certain situations in these work environments require the listener to also be able to hear low-level sounds for safety reasons.
