Abstract: The present disclosure provides a device for controlling power supply to a heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system for a building based on a target temperature. The device comprises a memory and a processor connected to the memory, wherein the processor is configured for: generating a zone-based temperature prediction model by training an artificial neural network based on a plurality of first training data; and determining a sequence of optimal to-be-supplied powers at one or more time-points after a current time-point, wherein the sequence of optimal to-be-supplied powers allows minimizing a value of a loss function associated with a difference between a sequence of predetermined target temperatures and a sequence of predicted temperatures predicted based on the zone-based temperature prediction model.

Abstract: A speech recognition device and a method thereof are disclosed. The speech recognition method includes detecting an error word of a recognized received speech, separately encoding a right part and a left part with respect to the detected error word, and decoding while correcting the error word based on a vector of the encoded right and left parts, a last character of the encoded right part, and a last character of the left part.

Abstract: Provided are methods of performing a database search using relevance feedback, in which a ranking scheme is applied to a database system for efficient database search, and a recording medium having a program recorded thereon for executing the same. The method includes receiving relevance feedback for a first search result, deriving a relevance function based on the received relevance feedback, and applying the first search result to the relevance function and providing a second search result ordered according to a relevance level. Accordingly, an accurate relevance function can be derived from a small amount of feedback by using relevance feedback and a ranking scheme, such that an efficient database search can be achieved without a user reviewing all search results to obtain a desired result.
