: Substantial evidence indicates that the time structure of neuronal spike trains is relevant in neuronal signal processing. Bio-inspired spiking neural networks are taking these r...
We present MARS (Multilingual Automatic tRanslation System), a research prototype speech-to-speech translation system. MARS is aimed at two-way conversational spoken language trans...

Named Entity (NE) recognition from the results of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is challenging because of ASR errors. To detect NEs, one of the options is to use a statistica...
Statistical machine learning methods are employed to train a Named Entity Recognizer from annotated data. Methods like Maximum Entropy and Conditional Random Fields make use of fe...
We present a general framework to incorporate prior knowledge such as heuristics or linguistic features in statistical generative word alignment models. Prior knowledge plays a ro...
