An automatic algorithm for indexing dialogue scenes in multimedia content is proposed. The content is segmented into dialogue scenes using the state transitions of a hidden Markov...
We propose a new optimization algorithm called Generalized Baum Welch (GBW) algorithm for discriminative training on hidden Markov model (HMM). GBW is based on Lagrange relaxation...
In modern automatic speech recognition systems, it is standard practice to cluster several logical hidden Markov model states into one physical, clustered state. Typically, the cl...
In this paper, we describe a novel statistical approach to the vocal tract transfer function (VTTF) estimation of a speech signal based on a factor analyzed trajectory hidden Mark...
We investigate incremental word learning with few training examples in a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) framework suitable for an interactive learning scenario with little prior knowle...
