A new framework for the context and speaker independent recognition of emotions from voice, based on a richer and more natural representation of the speech signal, is proposed. Th...
We present an information theoretic approach for learning a linear dimension reduction transform for object classification. The theoretic guidance of the approach is that the trans...
Many applications in text and speech processing require the analysis of distributions of variable-length sequences. We recently introduced a general kernel framework, rational ker...
It is important yet hard to identify navigational queries in Web search due to a lack of sufficient information in Web queries, which are typically very short. In this paper we st...
