A Bayesian NETWORKS approach for dialog modeling: The fusion BN
Bayesian Networks, BNs, are suitable for mixed-initiative dialog modeling allowing a more flexible and natural spoken interaction. This solution can be applied to identify the in...

Modelling the prepausal lengthening effect for speech recognition: a dynamic Bayesian network approach
Speech has a property that the speech unit preceding a speech pause tends to lengthen. This work presents the use of a dynamic Bayesian network to model the prepausal lengthening ...

Bounded conditional mean imputation with Gaussian mixture models: A reconstruction approach to partly occluded features
In this work we show how conditional mean imputation can be bounded through the use of box-truncated Gaussian distributions. That is of interest when signals or features are partl...

RLS-weighted Lasso for adaptive estimation of sparse signals
The batch least-absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) has well-documented merits for estimating sparse signals of interest emerging in various applications, where obse...

Training and adapting MLP features for Arabic speech recognition
Features derived from Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs) are becoming increasingly popular for speech recognition. This paper describes various schemes for applying these features to ...

Incorporating spectral subtraction and noise type for unvoiced speech segregation
Unvoiced speech poses a big challenge to current monaural speech segregation systems. It lacks harmonic structure and is highly susceptible to interference due to its relatively w...

Resampling auxiliary data for language model adaptation in machine translation for speech
Performance of n-gram language models depends to a large extent on the amount of training text material available for building the models and the degree to which this text matches...

A speech fragment approach to localising multiple speakers in reverberant environments
Sound source localisation cues are severely degraded when multiple acoustic sources are active in the presence of reverberation. We present a binaural system for localising simult...
