Improving the IBM Alignment Models Using Variational Bayes
Bayesian approaches have been shown to reduce the amount of overfitting that occurs when running the EM algorithm, by placing prior probabilities on the model parameters. We appl...

Normalizing German and English Inflectional Morphology to Improve Statistical Word Alignment
German has a richer system of inflectional morphology than English, which causes problems for current approaches to statistical word alignment. Using Giza++ as a reference implemen...

Using online model comparison in the Variational Bayes framework for online unsupervised Voice Activity Detection
This paper presents the use of online Variational Bayes method for online Voice Activity Detection (VAD) in an unsupervised context. In conventional VAD, the final step often rel...

Using variational bayes free energy for unsupervised voice activity detection
This paper addresses the problem of Voice Active Detection (VAD) in noisy environments. We introduce Variational Bayes approach to EM for classification to replace the heuristic ...
