In this study, a robust classification method for emotional speech single-trial event-related potential (ERP) signal was developed. The classification method based on compression sensing (CS) theory. First, we use CS theory to reduce the dimensionality of the ERP signal. Second, the ERP signal was reconstructed by using K-SVD method to construct the over-complete redundant dictionary. Finally, the ERP signal was classified by calculating the residuals between the reconstructed samples and the test samples. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively classify the noisy ERP signal and avoid the feature extraction process in the signal recognition.

We propose to introduce a real-time visualization of voice information for assisting training of students learning music therapy. The proposed tool provides voice quality-related information as well as vocal tract shape information using real-time visualization. It also provides a voice production simulator to facilitate understanding of basics of acoustic phonetics, such as relations between vocal tract shape and formant frequencies, global spectral shape and glottal source waveform and so on. We also provide discussions on the role of these assisting tools for training students learning music therapy.

The paper implements an omnidirectional mobile system that applies to home robots with functions including follow the user, come to the user and path obstacle avoidance. The mobile system can be independently separated or combined with the home robot. In the separation state, the independent mobile system can be remotely control, or switch to make it automatically go forward and avoid obstacles in the path. In the combined state, the mobile system can remotely pull the home robot which weight more than 30 kilograms. In addition, the mobile system can follow or come to the user through the user position information and the results of gesture recognition via Bluetooth from the depth camera Kinect. The gesture recognition allows the robot to receive the message from the user even when speech recognition fails (for example, noisy environment), which improves the usability of user tracking function in actual field. The mobile system uses single-chip control that is specializes in executing specific tasks, while with the delay time sharing reception design, four subsystems can quickly switch their control using Bluetooth and RF 2.4G wireless transmission, therefore achieve a certain degree of multitasking ability. On the other hand, the omnidirectional wheel used by the power subsystem can help the robot to do translation and spin movement that is difficult for the traditional two-wheeled robot. Among them, the translation movement allow the robot to avoid obstacle in the path faster and more flexible, while the spin movement allow the robot to lock user with large angle rotation when user is turning around in a short time, so that the target can always be located within the sight of Kinect camera. Finally, the paper design various experiments in the simulated home environment to verify the mobile system design, including path obstacle avoidance, follow the user and come to the user, and the results show that the mobile system have good performance in home environmental conditions.

This research aims to explore the mechanism of design-driven ednovation (education innovation) to identify how interdisciplinary education from design and business program can bring university R&D to society. Today's research challenges in university already changes because the new ill-defined problems often exceed the abilities of any one discipline, which means that experts from diverse fields must work together to provide a range of problem-solving perspectives. To enhance the problem-solving mechanism in interdisciplinary research projects and identify real problem or humanity demands from the real society, thereby commercializing the R&D outcome, design thinking perspective is already adopted to create the linkage from the engineering to business discipline. Some new arguments also raised that innovation outcome guided by design thinking process has come to complement the market's view that, in order to innovate, one must focus on the development or integration of new technologies and on opening and/or servicing new markets. As a result, this research adopts a participant observation approach to conduct a case study of design-driven ednovation program at National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan to show the findings regarding the facilitating role of design-based program and the proposed operational model to diffusing the university R&D for humanity.

This study contributes to the orange technology on ML and employee positive emotion in the workplace. We propose that the motivating language (ML), positive emotion, especially the long-term positive emotion on the job generates favorable work outcomes. The current study examines the relationships between leader's ML, employee personality traits, and workplace outcomes in Chinese companies. The mediating effects of employee positive emotion and person-organization fit (P-O fit) in these relationships are also investigated. The results reveal that both ML and conscientiousness are significantly related to positive emotion, both of which play mediating roles in the relationship between ML, conscientiousness, and two of the three workplace outcomes. Test results also show that agreeableness affected all three employee outcomes through the effect of P-O fit.

This study presents a framework for understanding the human activities in home by using 3-D skeleton joints captured by a Kinect sensor. The system is developed for the visual system of home robot to enhance the humane as well as the abundant for robot application. The proposed system treats the human activities as a time series of representative 3D poses data. Since the skeleton joints are encoded into pose vocabularies by Vector Quantization, an activity can be described as a series of poses. Discrete HMMs are trained to classify sequential poses into activity type. Experiments are performed on online test with the average accuracy 95.64% obtained. The experimental results have demonstrated the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed system in real time application.

While the health benefits of regular physical activity are well-established, many people exercise much less than is recommended by established guidelines. Music has been shown to have a motivational effect that can encourage people to exercise more strenuously or for longer periods of time, but the determination of which songs should be provided to which exercisers is an unsolved problem. We propose a system that incorporates user profiling to provide a strong set of initial recommendations to the user. Reinforcement learning is then used as each recommendation is accepted or rejected in order to ensure that subsequent recommendations are also likely to be approved. Test subjects who used the proposed system rated the playlists it provided more highly than those provided by a prior state-of-the-art reinforcement learning-based music recommendation system and also did not need to reject as many songs before being satisfied with their recommendations, both when receiving recommendations based on individual profiles, and when receiving recommendations based on aggregate profiles formed by grouping the users.

Differential microphone array (DMA) has attracted many research efforts recently, since it is generally small in size and possible to achieve maximum spatial directivity. However, its poor robustness to system error seriously hinders its applications. The traditional way to improve its robustness is to use redundant microphones, but generally the array topology is fixed so that the DMA order has to be decreased. In this paper, we suggest another way to improve its robustness by simply relaxing the null constraints in its design in the STFT domain. With this modification, the popular methods to improve additive beamformer's robustness can also be used in DMA design, such as the diagonal loading method and the second-order cone programming. The design results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, and the robustness of the DMA can be adjusted flexibly.

Modern technology has a great impact on people's lives. We use technology in different ways, and sometimes the way we use these various gadgets end up harming us and the society we live in. There has been growing evidence on the hazards of phone use while driving. This paper provides a tool that encourages undivided attention while behind the wheel. The application, named undivided, runs on several Android-based devices with GPS and communication capabilities. The mobile application for anti-distracted driving not only can block incoming calls and texts, users can add groups that can be mapped to the handling functionality like set auto reply message, reply SMS using speech to text, and reads incoming messages from identified contacts. It utilizes the background service that if the system detects that the speed is higher than the threshold, then the system triggers the application to auto-start. One can also change configuration settings where the user can change the number of repeated calls to advise the driver to pull over in cases of an emergency call. SMS messages will be sent to emergency contact list which is triggered by a button. It also displays markers for police, hospitals, emergency response units, and others similar services.
