Before the advent of Hidden Markov Models(HMM)-based speech recognition, many speech applications were built using pattern matching algorithms like the Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) ...
We investigate the issue of sign language automatic phonetic subunit modeling, that is completely data driven and without any prior phonetic information. A first step of visual p...
Automatic segmentation and classification of dialog acts (DAs; e.g., statements versus questions) is important for spoken language understanding (SLU). While most systems have re...
Phonotactic language recognizers are based on the ability of phone decoders to produce phone sequences containing acoustic, phonetic and phonological information, which is partial...
The least-absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) is a popular tool for joint estimation and continuous variable selection, especially well-suited for the under-determin...
