We introduce a discriminative hidden-state approach for the recognition of human gestures. Gesture sequences often have a complex underlying structure, and models that can incorpo...

This paper presents techniques to apply semi-CRFs to Named Entity Recognition tasks with a tractable computational cost. Our framework can handle an NER task that has long named e...
Coarticulation is one of the important factors that makes automatic sign language recognition a hard problem. Unlike in speech recognition, coarticulation effects in sign language...
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 ...
We describe Polynomial Conditional Random Fields for signal processing tasks. It is a hybrid model that combines the ability of Polynomial Hidden Markov models for modeling complex...
