Our principle objective was to reduce the error rate of speech recognition systems used by professional translators. Our work concentrated on Spanish-to-English translation. In a ...
We present a novel discriminative training algorithm for n-gram language models for use in large vocabulary continuous speech recognition. The algorithm uses large margin estimati...
In this paper, we present a semi-supervised method for automatic speech act recognition in email and forums. The major challenge of this task is due to lack of labeled data in the...
