We survey the use of weighted finite-state transducers (WFSTs) in speech recognition. We show that WFSTs provide a common and natural representation for HMM models, context-depend...
The last decade has witnessed substantial progress in speech recognition technology, with todays state-of-the-art systems being able to transcribe unrestricted broadcast news audi...
In this paper we present an approach to recognition confidence scoring and a set of techniques for integrating confidence scores into the understanding and dialogue components of ...

We introduce tree-width for first order formulae , fotw(). We show that computing fotw is fixed-parameter tractable with parameter fotw. Moreover, we show that on classes of formul...
