We address the problem in signal classification applications, such as automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems that employ the hidden Markov model (HMM), that it is necessary to...
Abstract--An experimental research with a goal to automatically detect prominent words in Russian speech is presented in this paper. The proposed automatic prominent word detection...
The high availability of video streams is making necessary mechanisms for indexing such contents in the Web world. In this paper we focus on news programs and we propose a mechani...
This paper presents an unsupervised segmentation method for feature sequences based on competitivelearning hidden Markov models. Models associated with the nodes of the Self-Organ...
In this paper, we propose a new approach for extracting and representing prosodic features directly from the speech signal. We hypothesize that prosody is linked to linguistic uni...
