Bayesian update of dialogue state for robust dialogue systems
This paper presents a new framework for accumulating beliefs in spoken dialogue systems. The technique is based on updating a Bayesian Network that represents the underlying state...

Impact of automatic sentence segmentation on meeting summarization
This paper investigates the impact of automatic sentence segmentation on speech summarization using the ICSI meeting corpus. We use a hidden Markov model (HMM) for sentence segmen...

Gradient steepness metrics using extended Baum-Welch transformations for universal pattern recognition tasks
In many pattern recognition tasks, given some input data and a family of models, the “best” model is defined as the one which maximizes the likelihood of the data given the m...

Computationally efficient equalization of room impulse responses robust to system estimation errors
Equalization techniques for room impulse responses (RIRs) are important in acoustic signal processing applications such as speech dereverberation. In practice, only approximate es...

Exploiting dialogue act tagging and prosodic information for action item identification
An important task for multiparty meeting understanding is extracting action items. Action items are a set of tasks that are agreed on by the participants for execution after the m...

An improved mu-law proportionate NLMS algorithm
In this paper, we propose an algorithm to improve the performance of the mu-law PNLMS algorithm (MPNLMS) for nonsparse impulse responses. Although the existing MPNLMS algorithm wa...

Reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces for spike train analysis
This paper introduces a generalized cross-correlation (GCC) measure for spike train analysis derived from reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHS) theory. An estimator for GCC is ...
