This paper describes a technique for learning both the number of states and the topologyof Hidden Markov Models from examples. The inductionprocess starts with the most specific m...
This paper proposes a general probabilistic framework for shape-based modeling and classification of waveform data. A segmental hidden Markov model (HMM) is used to characterize w...
Hidden Markov models (HMMs) have received considerable attention in various communities (e.g, speech recognition, neurology and bioinformatic) since many applications that use HMM...
One of the major limitations of HMM-based models is the inability to cope with topology: When applied to a visible observation (VO) sequence, HMM-based techniques have difficulty ...
We are interested in recovering aspects of vocal tract’s geometry and dynamics from auditory and visual speech cues. We approach the problem in a statistical framework based on ...
