This article examines cognitive process models of human sentence comprehension based on the idea of informed search. These models are rational in the sense that they strive to qui...
We propose a new approach to language modeling which utilizes discriminative learning methods. Our approach is an iterative one: starting with an initial language model, in each i...
A total corpus-based process of generating prosodic features from text is developed. The process first predicts pauses and phone durations, and then generates F0 contours. Since F...
In this paper, we propose a novel class of graphs, the tripartite directed acyclic graphs (tDAGs), to model first-order rule feature spaces for sentence pair classification. We in...
A crucial step in processing speech audio data for information extraction, topic detection, or browsing/playback is to segment the input into sentence and topic units. Speech segm...
