We describe semi-Markov conditional random fields (semi-CRFs), a conditionally trained version of semi-Markov chains. Intuitively, a semiCRF on an input sequence x outputs a "...
Virtual evidence (VE), first introduced by (Pearl, 1988), provides a convenient way of incorporating prior knowledge into Bayesian networks. This work generalizes the use of VE to...
Automatic processing of medical dictations poses a significant challenge. We approach the problem by introducing a statistical framework capable of identifying types and boundarie...
The detection of prosodic characteristics is an important aspect of both speech synthesis and speech recognition. Correct placement of pitch accents aids in more natural sounding ...
We propose a novel method to synthesize intermediate views from two stereo images and disparity maps that is robust to errors in disparity map. The proposed method computes a plac...
