The present thesis is concerned with the development of an expert system for the preliminary design of point-to-point HVDC transmission systems, TRANSEPT-DC. This expert system module complements other expert system modules concerned with AC design, insulation coordination, and reliability, all…

This thesis studies the introduction of a priori structure into the design of learning systems based on artificial neural networks applied to sequence recognition, in particular to phoneme recognition in continuous speech. Because we are interested in sequence analysis, algorithms…
