Determining the position of breaks in a sentence is a key task for a text-to-speech (TTS) system. We describe some methods for phrase break prediction in which the whole sentence ...
We address the problem of extracting bilingual chunk pairs from parallel text to create training sets for statistical machine translation. We formulate the problem in terms of a s...
This paper presents an automatic method, based on the deformable template approach, for cell image segmentation under severe noise conditions. We de"ne a new methodology, div...
In this work, we approach the classic Mumford-Shah problem from a curve evolution perspective. In particular, we let a given family of curves define the boundaries between regions...
