Word discovery is the task of discovering and collecting occurrences of repeating words in the absence of prior acoustic and linguistic knowledge, or training material. The capabi...
Many practical data streams are typically composed of several states known as regimes. In this paper, we invoke phase space reconstruction methods from non-linear time series and ...
A common problem in speech recognition for foreign accented speech is that there is not enough training data for an accent-specific or a speaker-specific recognizer. Speaker ada...
Annotating training data for event extraction is tedious and labor-intensive. Most current event extraction tasks rely on hundreds of annotated documents, but this is often not en...
