Structured Hidden Markov Models (S-HMM) are a variant of Hierarchical Hidden Markov Models; it provides an abstraction mechanism allowing a high level symbolic description of the k...
A Situated Conversational Agent (SCA) is an agent that engages in dialog about the context within which it is embedded. Situated dialog is characterized by its deep connection to ...
This paper is concerned with developing an information-theoretic framework to aggregate the state space of a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) on discrete state and observation spaces. The...
We present a discriminative structureprediction model for the letter-to-phoneme task, a crucial step in text-to-speech processing. Our method encompasses three tasks that have bee...
