Abstract--This paper is concerned with the automatic recognition of dialogue acts (DAs) in multiparty conversational speech. We present a joint generative model for DA recognition ...
Spoken Language Understanding (SLU) addresses the problem of extracting semantic meaning conveyed in an utterance. The traditional knowledge-based approach to this problem is very...
This paper presents an efficient inference algorithm of conditional random fields (CRFs) for large-scale data. Our key idea is to decompose the output label state into an active s...
Abstract. The visual analysis of human manipulation actions is of interest for e.g. human-robot interaction applications where a robot learns how to perform a task by watching a hu...
Actions in real world applications typically take place in cluttered environments with large variations in the orientation and scale of the actor. We present an approach to simult...
