In this paper, we extend the Hierarchical Mixture of Experts (HME) to temporal processing and explore it for a substantial problem, that of text-dependent speaker identification. For a specific multiway classification, we propose a generalized Bernoulli density instead of the multinomial logit density to avoid the instability during training. Time-delay technique is applied for spatio-temporal processing in the HME and a combining scheme is presented for combining multiple time-delay HMEs in order to complete a multi-scale analysis for the temporal data. Using the time-delay HME along with the EM algorithm as well as the combination of multiple time-delay HMEs, the speaker identification system has a good performance and yields significantly fast training. We have also addressed some issues about the time-delay techniques in the HME.

Vibrations of a nonlinear self-excited system driven by parametric excitation are presented in the paper. The considered model with one DOF includes a self-excitation term represented by a nonlinear Rayleigh function and also a periodically varied stiffness coefficient which represents parametric excitation. The influence of the external force or/and time delay, treated as a control signal, is demonstrated. Nonlinear parametric resonance is determined numerically and analytically by the multiple time scale method. The influence of time delay on the resonance zones and the frequency locking phenomenon is analysed.
