We describe a method of incorporating taskspecific cost functions into standard conditional log-likelihood (CLL) training of linear structured prediction models. Recently introduc...
In this paper, we investigate a simple, mistakedriven learning algorithm for discriminative training of continuous density hidden Markov models (CD-HMMs). Most CD-HMMs for automat...
Written documents created through dictation differ significantly from a true verbatim transcript of the recorded speech. This poses an obstacle in automatic dictation systems as s...

In this paper, we present a method for identifying discourse marker usage in spontaneous speech based on machine learning. Discourse markers are denoted by special POS tags, and t...
Lattice-based approaches have been widely used in spoken document retrieval to handle the speech recognition uncertainty and errors. Position Specific Posterior Lattices (PSPL) an...
