This paper presents a semantic confidence measure that aims to predict the relevance of automatic transcripts for a task of Spoken Document Retrieval (SDR). The proposed predicti...
Simplification of mixture models has recently emerged as an important issue in the field of statistical learning. The heavy computational demands of using large order models dro...
Neurophysiological studies in the primary auditory cortex have recently demonstrated a rich diversity of responses that provide an explicit multidimensional representation of phon...
This paper addresses the problem of speaker segmentation in two-speaker telephone conversations, using an eigenvoice based factor analysis approach. We present a set of improvemen...
Abstract. Systems for keyword and non-linguistic vocalization detection in conversational agent applications need to be robust with respect to background noise and different speak...
