This paper investigates using Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) based vowel duration features for automated assessment of non-native speech. Two different types of models were compared...
Abstract— We propose to improve the locomotive performance of humanoid robots by using approximated biped stepping and walking dynamics with reinforcement learning (RL). Although...

We address an approximation method for Gaussian process (GP) regression, where we approximate covariance by a block matrix such that diagonal blocks are calculated exactly while o...
We present a new sparse Gaussian Process (GP) model for regression. The key novel idea is to sparsify the spectral representation of the GP. This leads to a simple, practical algo...
— High performance and compliant robot control requires accurate dynamics models which cannot be obtained analytically for sufficiently complex robot systems. In such cases, mac...
