Humans are able to recognise a word before its acoustic realisation is complete. This in contrast to conventional automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems, which compute the lik...
Determining the position of breaks in a sentence is a key task for a text-to-speech (TTS) system. We describe some methods for phrase break prediction in which the whole sentence ...
This paper describes discriminative language modeling for a large vocabulary speech recognition task. We contrast two parameter estimation methods: the perceptron algorithm, and a...
This paper describes a deterministic approach for the typification of buildings which uses several levels of details for the derivation of intermediate scales. The typification pro...
Thin plate spline interpolation is a widely used approach to generate a digital elevation model (DEM) from contour lines and scattered data. In practice, contour maps are scanned a...
