Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are a powerful probabilistic tool for modeling sequential data, and have been applied with success to many text-related tasks, such as part-of-speech t...

In this paper we discuss a general framework for feature selection based on nonparametric statistics. The three stage approach we propose is based on the assumption that the avail...
Gaussian mixture model - universal background model (GMMUBM) is a standard reference classifier in speaker verification. We have recently proposed a simplified model using vect...

We present a learning algorithm for non-parametric hidden Markov models with continuous state and observation spaces. All necessary probability densities are approximated using sa...
In this project report we describe work in statistical parsing using the maximum entropy technique and the Alpino language analysis system for Dutch. A major difficulty in this d...
