The context-independent deep belief network (DBN) hidden Markov model (HMM) hybrid architecture has recently achieved promising results for phone recognition. In this work, we pro...
We propose a new optimization algorithm called Generalized Baum Welch (GBW) algorithm for discriminative training on hidden Markov model (HMM). GBW is based on Lagrange relaxation...
In this work we show how interactivity in a voice-enabled question answering application may improve speech recognition. We allow the user to provide a target named entity before ...
Semantic role labeling (SRL) is an important module of spoken language understanding systems. This work extends the standard evaluation metrics for joint dependency parsing and SR...
The mismatch between training and test environmental conditions presents a challenge to speech recognition systems. In this paper, we investigate an approach for matching the dist...
