Design of a New Lightweight Accurate Grid-Based Localization Method for WASN [PDF]
IEEE Access, 2021 Existing solutions designed for acoustic target localization based on the received signal energy in WSN suffer either from low localization accuracy due to suboptimal convergence or high computations requirements due to the application of complex ...

The Language Faculty that Wasn't: A Usage-Based Account of Natural Language Recursion
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 In the generative tradition, the language faculty has been shrinking—perhaps to include only the mechanism of recursion. This paper argues that even this view of the language faculty is too expansive.

Online distributed waveform-synchronization for acoustic sensor networks with dynamic topology
EURASIP Journal on Audio, Speech, and Music Processing, 2023 Acoustic sensing by multiple devices connected in a wireless acoustic sensor network (WASN) creates new opportunities for multichannel signal processing. However, the autonomy of agents in such a network still necessitates the alignment of sensor signals
