Scientific and statistical inferences build heavily on explicit, parametric models, and often with good reasons. However, the limited scope of parametric models and the increasin...
We survey the use of weighted finite-state transducers (WFSTs) in speech recognition. We show that WFSTs provide a common and natural representation for HMM models, context-depend...
Over the years, the focus in noise robust speech recognition has shifted from noise robust features to model based techniques such as parallel model combination and uncertainty de...

In building a successful website it is imperative that the design matches the organization’s objectives, which should be well defined. Clearly, different types of websites will ...
We introduce a probabilistic noisychannel model for question answering and we show how it can be exploited in the context of an end-to-end QA system. Our noisy-channel system outp...
