Creating conversational interfaces for children is challenging in several respects. These include acoustic modeling for automatic speech recognition (ASR), language and dialog mode...
This paper presents a new unit selection process for Very Low Bit Rate speech encoding around 500 bits/sec. The encoding is based on speech recognition and speech synthesis technol...
We present a framework for speech recognition that accounts for hidden articulatory information. We model the articulatory space using a codebook of articulatory configurations g...
Abstract--We describe some high-level approaches to estimating confidence scores for the words output by a speech recognizer. By "high-level" we mean that the proposed me...
Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are the most commonly used acoustic model for speech recognition. In HMMs, the probability of successive observations is assumed independent given the ...
