The Gram-negative bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei (Bp) is the causative agent of the human disease melioidosis. To understand the evolutionary mechanisms contributing to Bp virulence, we performed a comparative genomic analysis of Bp K96243 and B. thailandensis (Bt) E264, a closely related but avirulent relative. RESULTS: We found the Bp and Bt genomes to be broadly similar, comprising two highly syntenic chromosomes with comparable numbers of coding regions (CDs), protein family ...
In this paper we report on the various techniques that we implemented in order to improve the basic speech recognition performance of the BYBLOS system. Some of these methods are new, while others are not. We present methods that improved performance as well as those that did not. The methods include Linear Discriminant Analysis, Supervised Vector Quantization, Shared Mixture VQ. Deleted Estimation of Context Weights, MMI Estimation Using "N-Best" Alternatives, ...
