In this paper we present a novel approach for inducing word alignments from sentence aligned data. We use a Conditional Random Field (CRF), a discriminative model, which is estima...
This paper describes a new approach to modeling duration for LVCSR using SCARF, a toolkit for speech recognition with segmental conditional random fields. We utilize SCARF’s abi...
Hand-drawn diagrams present a complex recognition problem. Elements of the diagram are often individually ambiguous, and require context to be interpreted. We present a recognitio...
—We present a meta-learning framework for the design of potential functions for Conditional Random Fields. The design of both node potential and edge potential is formulated as a...
Recent work on Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) has demonstrated the need for regularisation when applying these models to real-world NLP data sets. Conventional approaches to regu...
