Activity recognition is a fundamental research topic for a wide range of important applications such as fall detection for elderly people. Existing techniques mainly rely on wearable sensors, which may...
View ArticleA maximum likelihood direction of arrival estimation method for open-sphere...
Open-sphere microphone arrays are preferred over rigid-sphere arrays when minimal interaction between array and the measured sound field is required. However, open-sphere arrays suffer from poor...
View ArticleThe relationship between australian mutual fund fees and risk-adjusted...
We find that Australian mutual fund investors should avoid high fee funds as these funds generate relatively low after-fee risk-adjusted returns both unconditionally and in weak economic conditions....
