Traditionally call centres were based on circuit-switched systems. But with the advancement of communication technologies, call centres have shifted to packet-switched systems. Th...
When equipped with kernel functions, online learning algorithms are susceptible to the "curse of kernelization" that causes unbounded growth in the model size. To addres...
The choice of the best-suited statistical distribution for modeling data is not a trivial issue. Unless a sound theoretical background exists for selecting a particular distributi...
Concurrency is one of the most important issues in system-level design. Interleaving among parallel processes can cause an extremely large number of different behaviors, making de...
This paper presents a framework for maximum a posteriori (MAP) speaker adaptation of state duration distributions in hidden Markov models (HMM). Four key issues of MAP estimation, ...
