A major challenge faced by a spoken term detection (STD) system is the detection of out-of-vocabulary (OOV) terms. Although a subword-based STD system is able to detect OOV terms,...
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...
Thin plate spline interpolation is a widely used approach to generate a digital elevation model (DEM) from contour lines and scattered data. In practice, contour maps are scanned a...
—This paper presents a new affine-invariant matching algorithm based on B-Spline modeling, which solves the problem of the nonuniqueness of B-Spline in curve matching. This metho...
This paper presents and evaluates several original techniques for the latent classification of biographic attributes such as gender, age and native language, in diverse genres (co...
