Information distillation is the task that aims to extract relevant passages of text from massive volumes of textual and audio sources, given a query. In this paper, we investigate...
This paper addresses the problem of discriminative training of language models that does not require any transcribed acoustic data. We propose to minimize the conditional entropy ...
We present two simple but effective smoothing techniqes for the standard language model (LM) approach to information retrieval [12]. First, we extend the unigram Dirichlet smoothi...
As performance gains in automatic speech recognition systems plateau, improvements to existing applications of speech recognition technology seem more likely to come from better u...
