In this paper, we present a semi-supervised method for automatic speech act recognition in email and forums. The major challenge of this task is due to lack of labeled data in the...
We propose an algorithm to construct classification models with a mixture of kernels from labeled and unlabeled data. The derived classifier is a mixture of models, each based o...
The detection of prosodic characteristics is an important aspect of both speech synthesis and speech recognition. Correct placement of pitch accents aids in more natural sounding ...
Abstract. We present a novel approach to detect and classify rare behaviours which are visually subtle and occur sparsely in the presence of overwhelming typical behaviours. We tre...
