This paper describes improvements in a search error risk minimization approach to fast beam search for speech recognition. In our previous work, we proposed this approach to reduc...
In this paper, we introduce a new approach to dialect recognition which relies on the hypothesis that certain phones are realized differently across dialects. Given a speaker'...
We explore automated discovery of topicallycoherent segments in speech or text sequences. We give two new discriminative topic segmentation algorithms which employ a new measure o...
We introduce SelfTalk, a novel declarative language that allows users to query and understand the status of a large scale system. SelfTalk is sufficiently expressive to encode an ...
In this paper, we address the problem of determining the order of MISO channels by means of a series of hypothesis tests based on scalar statistics. Using estimated 4th-order outp...
