Hidden Conditional Random Fields(HCRF) is a very promising approach to model speech. However, because HCRF computes the score of a hypothesis by summing up linearly weighted featu...
Recently there has been interest in structured discriminative models for speech recognition. In these models sentence posteriors are directly modelled, given a set of features ext...
We apply independent component analysis (ICA) for extracting an optimal basis to the problem of finding efficient features for a speaker. The basis functions learned by the algori...
In this paper we investigate the combination of complementary acoustic feature streams in large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR). We have explored the use of acoust...
We investigate various ways of generating prosodic syllable contour features that have recently been applied to enhance systems for speaker recognition. We compare different appro...
