Humans are able to recognise a word before its acoustic realisation is complete. This in contrast to conventional automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems, which compute the lik...
Determining the position of breaks in a sentence is a key task for a text-to-speech (TTS) system. We describe some methods for phrase break prediction in which the whole sentence ...
This paper describes discriminative language modeling for a large vocabulary speech recognition task. We contrast two parameter estimation methods: the perceptron algorithm, and a...
Recent approaches to large vocabulary decoding with finite state graphs have focused on the use of state minimization algorithms to produce relatively compact graphs. This paper e...
This paper explores factors correlating with lack of inter-annotator agreement on a word sense disambiguation (WSD) task taken from SENSEVAL-2. Twenty-seven subjects were given a ...
