Exemplar-based Sparse Representation phone identification features
Exemplar-based techniques, such as k-nearest neighbors (kNNs) and Sparse Representations (SRs), can be used to model a test sample from a few training points in a dictionary set. ...

Pronunciation variation modeling of non-native proper names by discriminative tree search
In this paper, the task of selecting the optimal subset of pronunciation variants from a set of automatically generated candidates is recast as a tree search problem. In this appr...

Hill climbing on speech lattices: A new rescoring framework
We describe a new approach for rescoring speech lattices — with long-span language models or wide-context acoustic models — that does not entail computationally intensive latt...

Which words are hard to recognize? Prosodic, lexical, and disfluency factors that increase speech recognition error rates
Despite years of speech recognition research, little is known about which words tend to be misrecognized and why. Previous work has shown that errors increase for infrequent words...

Local list decoding with a constant number of queries
Efremenko showed locally-decodable codes of sub-exponential length that can handle close to 1 6 fraction of errors. In this paper we show that the same codes can be locally unique...

Slack redistribution for graceful degradation under voltage overscaling
Modern digital IC designs have a critical operating point, or "wall of slack", that limits voltage scaling. Even with an errortolerance mechanism, scaling voltage below a...
