—For historical documents, available transcriptions typically are inaccurate when compared with the scanned document images. Not only the position of the words and sentences are ...
—To cope with the tremendous variations of writing styles encountered between different individuals, unconstrained automatic handwriting recognition systems need to be trained on...

We propose a principled and efficient phraseto-phrase alignment model, useful in machine translation as well as other related natural language processing problems. In a hidden se...
—While most activity recognition systems rely on data-driven approaches, the use of knowledge-driven techniques is gaining increasing interest. Research in this field has mainly...

The method which is called the “tandem approach” in speech recognition has been shown to increase performance by using classifier posterior probabilities as observations in a...
Currently, the statistical framework based on Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) plays a relevant role in speech synthesis, while voice conversion systems based on Gaussian Mixture Model...
This paper presents a novel method for reducing the dimensionality of kernel spaces. Recently, to maintain the convexity of training, loglinear models without mixtures have been u...
Hsu et al. (2009) recently proposed an efficient, accurate spectral learning algorithm for Hidden Markov Models (HMMs). In this paper we relax their assumptions and prove a tighte...
Hidden Markov models (HMMs) have proven useful in various aspects of speech technology from automatic speech recognition through speech synthesis, speech segmentation and grapheme...
