This paper is concerned with the estimation of the directionsof-arrival (DOA) of narrowband sources using a sparse spatial spectral model, when the model itself is not precise. Wh...
One problem in concatenative speech synthesis is how to incorporate prosodic factors in the unit selection. Imposing a predicted prosodic target is error-prone and does not benefi...
Via an oracle experiment, we show that the upper bound on accuracy of a CCG parser is significantly lowered when its search space is pruned using a supertagger, though the supert...
In the paper we present a new evolutionary algorithm for induction of regression trees. In contrast to the typical top-down approaches it globally searches for the best tree struct...
We reveal that the Okapi BM25 retrieval function tends to overly penalize very long documents. To address this problem, we present a simple yet effective extension of BM25, namel...
