The field of information retrieval still strives to develop models which allow semantic information to be integrated in the ranking process to improve performance in comparison to...
We describe the application of kernel methods to Natural Language Processing (NLP) problems. In many NLP tasks the objects being modeled are strings, trees, graphs or other discre...
We introduce a direct model for speech recognition that assumes an unstructured, i.e., flat text output. The flat model allows us to model arbitrary attributes and dependences o...
