Recent work suggests that the human ear varies significantly between different subjects and can be used for identification. In principle, therefore, using ears in addition to the f...
We present an efficient and robust algorithm for computing the minimum distance between a point and freeform curve or surface by lifting the problem into a higher dimension. This...
When automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speaker verification (SV) are applied in adverse acoustic environments, endpoint detection and energy normalization can be crucial to th...
Grid services have tremendously simplified the programming challenges in leveraging large-scale distributed comAt the same time, the increased level of abstraction reduces the op...
Abstract. Query expansion is a well known method to improve the performance of information retrieval systems. In this work we have tested different approaches to extract the candid...
