We describe experiments in visual-only language identification, in which only lip-shape and lip-motion are used to determine the language of a spoken utterance. We focus on the t...
Timed Petri nets and timed automata are two standard models for the analysis of real-time systems. In this paper, we prove that they are incomparable for the timed language equival...
Representing documents by vectors that are independent of language enhances machine translation and multilingual text categorization. We use discriminative training to create a pr...
We address the feature selection problem for hidden Markov models (HMMs) in sequence classification. Temporal correlation in sequences often causes difficulty in applying featur...
