Independent component analysis (ICA) is not only popular for blind source separation but also for unsupervised learning when the observations can be decomposed into some independe...
This paper presents an open contour tracking method that employs an arc-emission Hidden Markov Model (HMM). The algorithm encodes the shape information of the structure in a spati...

Voice conversion has become more and more important in speech technology, but most of current works have to use parallel utterances of both source and target speaker as the traini...
In this paper, we cast discriminative training problems into standard linear programming (LP) optimization. Besides being convex and having globally optimal solution(s), LP progra...
This paper investigates the impact of automatic sentence segmentation on speech summarization using the ICSI meeting corpus. We use a hidden Markov model (HMM) for sentence segmen...
