Knowledge retrieval

This report is written at June 1, 2007. It represents the results of a research project at the Maastricht University, Knowledge Engineering department.

The research was based on tools that can process documents (diaries) and place them in a document space. This high dimensional document space had to be reduced to a three dimensional space and projected on a sphere. With all the documents represented on a sphere it should be possible to see clusters of documents, zoom in on them and to see more detail.

Who's talking; automated speaker recognition

This abstract is taken from the report Speaker recognition, Who's talking? written at January 24, 2007. It represents the results of a research project at the Maastricht University, Knowledge Engineering department.

The research was based on automated speaker recognition in single and multi speaker environments. All software was written in MatLab. And the research was based on different recognition systems (Gaussian Mixture Model, Neural Networks and Nearest Neighbours while using cc, mfcc and lpc as methods to extract the coefficients). The research questions where: ...

KneeTwister, laxity and angle measurement

This abstract is taken from the report KneeTwister, laxity & angle measurement written at June 1, 2005. The report is written under supervision of dr. ir. P. Holmes and ing. F. Cook. It represents the results of device developed and implemented at the Unit of joint reconstruction, RJAH Orthopaedic Hospital, Oswestry, United Kingdom.

The KneeTwister is a device which will be used to measure the laxity in the knee joint. It also measures the angle between the upper and lower leg during an internal and external rotation.
