We consider interactive tools that help users search for their most preferred item in a large collection of options. In particular, we examine example-critiquing, a technique for ...
In this work a Gaussian Hidden Markov Model (GHMM) based automatic sign language recognition system is built on the SIGNUM database. The system is trained on appearance-based feat...
We propose a novel approach for writer adaptation in a word spotting task. The method exploits the fact that a semi-continuous hidden Markov model separates the word model paramet...
In previous work on "transformed mixtures of Gaussians" and "transformed hidden Markov models", we showed how the EM algorithm in a discrete latent variable mo...
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...
