Abstract: Improvements in speech recognition in a new domain are provided via the student/teacher training of models for different speech domains. A student model for a new domain is created based on the teacher model trained in an existing domain. The student model is trained in parallel to the operation of the teacher model, with inputs in the new and existing domains respectfully, to develop a neural network that is adapted to recognize speech in the new domain. The data in the new domain may exclude transcription labels but rather are parallelized with the data analyzed in the existing domain analyzed by the teacher model. The outputs from the teacher model are compared with the outputs of the student model and the differences are used to adjust the parameters of the student model to better recognize speech in the second domain.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for increasing dewatering efficiency of a solids-laden liquid stream in a wastewater treatment facility, whereby a liquids-solids stream is pumped into a mixing apparatus in a closed-channel liquid flow conduit configuration, where the liquids-solids stream is intensely mixed with air and polymer in a mixing zone created by an adjustable flow restriction device, performing similar to a venturi to increase the velocity, agitation, and turbulence of the liquids-solids stream internal to the mixer, where the introduction of air and polymer to the stream is introduced independent of mixing energy. Compared with current methods and apparatuses to mix polymer with solids-laden wastewater, the present method and apparatus requires less energy, where it enables the addition of air independent of mixing energy, and it creates a zone of mixing with greater mixing efficiency via increased turbulence.
