ORDDAR: Observation-Driven Reasoning for Distortion-Resilient Decision, Action, and Cognitive Recovery

AI agents increasingly perform long-term reasoning, planning, tool use, memory integration, and autonomous decision making, yet erroneous intermediate states can propagate and cause inconsistent decisions and unreliable outputs. Existing reasoning approaches mainly rely on iterative planning, self-reflection, augmented memory, or verification, but rarely localize and selectively repair faulty reasoning. We present ORDDAR (Observation-Driven Reasoning for Distortion-Resilient Decision, Action, and Cognitive Recovery), a reasoning framework that models reasoning as cognitive state transitions, detects localized distortions, retrieves related reasoning from prior experiences, and repairs only the affected states. ORDDAR therefore performs recovery at the local reasoning-transition level rather than regenerating the complete trajectory. Experiments across mathematical, commonsense, multi-hop, and clinical reasoning benchmarks demonstrate improved reasoning quality, recovery ability, and interpretability over multiple evaluated reasoning baselines.

F0 Modeling In Hmm-Based Speech Synthesis System Using Deep Belief Network

In recent years multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) with many hid- den layers Deep Neural Network (DNN) has performed sur- prisingly well in many speech tasks, i.e. speech recognition, speaker verification, speech synthesis etc. Although in the context of F0 modeling these techniques has not been ex- ploited properly. In this paper, Deep Belief Network (DBN), a class of DNN family has been employed and applied to model the F0 contour of synthesized speech which was generated by HMM-based speech synthesis system. The experiment was done on Bengali language. Several DBN-DNN architectures ranging from four to seven hidden layers and up to 200 hid- den units per hidden layer was presented and evaluated. The results were compared against clustering tree techniques pop- ularly found in statistical parametric speech synthesis. We show that from textual inputs DBN-DNN learns a high level structure which in turn improves F0 contour in terms of ob- jective and subjective tests.

A Bengali HMM Based Speech Synthesis System

The paper presents the capability of an HMM-based TTS system to produce Bengali speech. In this synthesis method, trajectories of speech parameters are generated from the trained Hidden Markov Models. A final speech waveform is synthesized from those speech parameters. In our experiments, spectral properties were represented by Mel Cepstrum Coefficients. Both the training and synthesis issues are investigated in this paper using annotated Bengali speech database. Experimental evaluation depicts that the developed text-to-speech system is capable of producing adequately natural speech in terms of intelligibility and intonation for Bengali.
