This small dataset contains 3 speech corpora collected using the Alex Translate telephone service (https://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/alex#alex-translate).
The "part1" and "part2" corpora contain English speech with transcriptions and Czech translations. These recordings were collected from users of the service. Part 1 contains earlier recordings, filtered to include only clean speech; Part 2 contains later recordings with no filtering applied.
The "cstest" corpus contains recordings of artificially created sentences, each containing one or more Czech names of places in the Czech Republic. These were recorded by a multinational group of students studying in Prague.
This paper deals with nonlinear diffusion problems involving degenerate parabolic problems, such as the Stefan problem and the porous medium equation, and cross-diffusion systems in population ecology. The degeneracy of the diffusion and the effect of cross-diffusion, that is, nonlinearities of the diffusion, complicate its analysis. In order to avoid the nonlinearities, we propose a reaction-diffusion system with solutions that approximate those of the nonlinear diffusion problems. The reaction-diffusion system includes only a simple reaction and linear diffusion. Resolving semilinear problems is typically easier than dealing with nonlinear diffusion problems. Therefore, our ideas are expected to reveal new and more effective approaches to the study of nonlinear problems.
The south east Asian pest thrips, Thrips parvispinus is recorded breeding in Europe for the first time, damaging Gardenia plants in Greece. Morphological variation in this species from various Asian countries is recorded and compared to the type specimens. As a result Isoneurothrips jenseni Karny, 1925 and Thrips (Isoneurothrips) taiwanus Takahashi, 1936 are placed as synonyms of Thrips parvispinus (Karny, 1922). In contrast, Thrips compressicornis (Sakimura), a species from the Marquesa Islands of the Pacific that has previously been associated with these taxa, represents a very different species. The quarantine significance of T. parvispinus is emphasised.
In this paper we use a duality method to introduce a new space of generalized distributions. This method is exactly the same introduced by Schwartz for the distribution theory. Our space of generalized distributions contains all the Schwartz distributions and all the multipole series of physicists and is, in a certain sense, the smallest space containing all these series.
The imbalance of an edge e = {u, v} in a graph is defined as i(e) = |d(u)−d(v)|, where d(·) is the vertex degree. The irregularity I(G) of G is then defined as the sum of imbalances over all edges of G. This concept was introduced by Albertson who proved that I(G)\leqslant 4n^{3}/27 (where n = |V(G)|) and obtained stronger bounds for bipartite and triangle-free graphs. Since then a number of additional bounds were given by various authors. In this paper we prove a new upper bound, which improves a bound found by Zhou and Luo in 2008. Our bound involves the Laplacian spectral radius λ., Felix Goldberg., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
We present a test corpus of audio recordings and transcriptions of presentations of students' enterprises together with their slides and web-pages. The corpus is intended for evaluation of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems, especially in conditions where the prior availability of in-domain vocabulary and named entities is benefitable.
The corpus consists of 39 presentations in English, each up to 90 seconds long, and slides and web-pages in Czech, Slovak, English, German, Romanian, Italian or Spanish.
The speakers are high school students from European countries with English as their second language.
We benchmark three baseline ASR systems on the corpus and show their imperfection.
